Supreme beauty surfaces when engineering prowess is coupled with skilled craftsmanship. Nick's Custom Detailing & Ceramic Coating considers this principle when delivering the ultimate ceramic paint protection solution for your prized vehicle. Our certified installers deliver flawless and lasting results that are unrivaled in Dallas - Fort Worth, TX.
We are one of the few companies in the world who install not one, but two of the most iconic coatings: CQuartz Finest Reserve and Modesta. They manufacture the most exclusive and advanced ceramic car coatings in America. This is the stuff that "tops" a car lovers dreams!
Once installed, our coatings create a deep gloss unlike any other coating and one that doesn't fade away. A simple wash reveals its brilliance as if you had just waxed your car.
Investing in CQuartz or Modesta protects your car's exterior and interior from aging and deterioration. Not only resulting in stunning results but in a higher-resale value, should you ever choose to part with your automobile, meaning it will effectively pay for itself.
With next-gen anti-stick technology, CQuartz and Modesta prevent dirt, brake dust, bird droppings, and other contaminants from sticking to your paint, significantly reducing the time and energy you spend washing your car. Many of these contaminants just rinse right off!
CQuartz and Modesta have revolutionized paint protection. Originally, you would have had to wash your car every couple months and apply a new layer of wax or sealant in order to bring back shine and keep your clear-coat protected from the elements. This was a labor-intensive activity or an expensive service to purchase regularly. Automotive ceramic coatings push boundaries to a new level by providing exponentially improved protection and durability that lasts well beyond that of traditional methods.
Nanotechnology deals with the science of very small things and in this case, has been implemented in the creation of our chosen ceramic paint coatings. Why does this matter? It insures the coating bonds to the surface of paint on a molecular level. This creates a semi-permanent layer of paint protection, a bit like applying a second, stronger clear-coat to paint, only shinier!

Modesta Coating is a highly unique clear hard glass layer for automotive paints with a durability of up to 10 years!
Modesta Coating protects your vehicles paint from all kinds of damage including wash-induced damages, scratches, oxidation, sap, watermarks, salts, acids and even permanent ink and paints.
Its strong water-repellent properties also promote self-cleaning effects, producing longer lasting depth & shine.
Modesta products create a hard, glass-like layer on the clear coat of your automobile. This thick layer is composed of high grade silicium, produced by a special chemical reaction at the time of application. It acts as an impenetrable barrier, protecting paint from nearly all adverse effects from the environment.
No matter how hard the clear coat layer on your vehicle may be – Modesta adds hardness to it and the layer created will always be harder than the finish of your vehicle itself.
There are some detailers in Dallas and Fort Worth who claim that automotive ceramic coating is essentially a silver bullet that will solve all your car care problems. The truth is that it will add extra protection to your car, make it easier to clean, and keep it cleaner longer but it cannot do everything. This is what a ceramic car coating cannot do:
While a Ceramic Coating does reduce light swirl-marks due to its slickness and hardness, it's properties are often exaggerated by detailers in DFW. Certainly, an Automotive Ceramic Coating can ward off some very fine scratches, a coated car will not resist damages from rock chips, or minor parking lot scratches and accidents - for this we’d recommend paint protection film.
Likewise, the swirl marks on your car which are created by automated touch car washes or improper care will still build up over time, just slower. A Ceramic Car Coating is not a substitute for a proper or serious scratch or chip protection (for example, Clear Bra, also known as Paint Protection Film).
Ceramic coatings have a longer lifespan compared to traditional wax or paint sealants, but it is important to clarify that they are not completely permanent. Although some people believe that applying a ceramic coating eliminates the need for regular vehicle maintenance, this claim is not accurate. While ceramic coatings offer extended durability, they do require ongoing care to maintain the appearance and performance of the vehicle.
In actuality, ensuring proper maintenance is essential for maximizing the durability of a ceramic coating. Although it has the potential to last indefinitely in ideal circumstances, such as a vehicle that is stored in a garage and rarely driven, this isn't a realistic situation for the majority of everyday drivers. As a result, ceramic coatings typically have a recommended lifespan of 2-5 years.
It should be noted that the exact duration of a ceramic coating's lifespan can differ based on various factors. The consistent exposure to harsh chemicals or the utilization of abrasive cleaning tools can noticeably decrease its effectiveness and durability. Hence, the longevity of a ceramic coating ultimately hinges on the level of maintenance and care dedicated to one's vehicle.
Rephrase In order to maximize the longevity of your ceramic coating, it is advisable to adhere to appropriate maintenance protocols. This entails utilizing car wash soaps that have a neutral pH, employing microfiber towels, and employing gentle cleaning methods. By implementing these measures, you can safeguard the aesthetic appeal and safeguarding qualities of a ceramic coating for an extended period of time.
In Fort Worth and Dallas, as well as all across the world, a water droplet will contain a certain amount of minerals, contaminants, and dirt. This means that when it evaporates, it leaves a visible deposit behind - which we call water spots.
Certainly, the hydrophobic qualities of a ceramic car coating help to reduce water spots significantly, but it will not, as some detailers claim, entirely eliminate the issue. Some droplets will be repelled by the hydrophobic surface, but others will bead and remain on your car creating the opportunity for water-spotting.
Remember how we said that a ceramic coating would keep your car looking clean with minimal maintenance? Well, that's what we meant; less maintenance, not zero maintenance. Let's be honest here, the roads in Dallas and Fort Worth can be dirty and congested, and as a result, they will get your car dirty over time.
Even with a good ceramic coating, you will need to wash your vehicle to keep it looking good, just much less often than without a nano-coating.
However, a ceramic coating will make it easier to clean your car and will eliminate the need to wax it every few months. This seriously reduces the level of maintenance that your car requires. Thus, while a ceramic car coating makes it easier to maintain your cars paintwork, it doesn't make it maintenance free.
