The Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift for Car Lovers

After a well earned Christmas break, the team at Spotless Detailing Group is back, refreshed, recharged, and ready to hit the ground running in 2026. Taking some time to reset over the festive period has left us feeling more motivated than ever, and we’re excited to build on everything we achieved last year and make this year even bigger and better. 

As the year comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on what has been an incredibly positive and rewarding year for everyone at Spotless Detailing Group. 2025 has been our biggest year to date, and not just in terms of bookings, but also in overall growth throughout the company. It’s been a year of hard work, learning, and progress, and we’re extremely proud of what the team has achieved.

Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for travel. Whether you’re heading across the country to visit family, tackling winter roads, or loading up the car for a festive getaway, your vehicle deserves a bit of care before the journey begins. Winter driving brings added challenges, including salt, grit, mud, wet roads, and constant temperature changes, all of which can take a toll on your car’s paintwork, wheels, and interior. With a little preparation, you can keep your car looking its best and make those long Christmas drives far easier. Here’s how to get your car road trip ready this festive season.

Whether you’ve just had ceramic coating applied or you’re considering getting your vehicle protected, one thing is certain - proper care matters. We often say that protection is only as good as how it’s maintained. Ceramic coating is an incredible tool for preserving your paintwork, but it isn't a magic shield. Like anything, it has its limits, and a few bad habits can really reduce its performance and lifespan. Here are the top 5 things that can ruin your coating, and what to do instead to keep your finish looking as good as the day you picked it up from us.

The Ultimate Combination for Long Term Protection If you're looking to protect your vehicle for the long haul, you've probably come across both paint protection film (PPF) and ceramic coating . But what happens when you combine the two? We often get asked: “Can I ceramic coat over PPF?” The short answer? Yes. It’s one of the best things you can do for your car. Here’s why this pairing works so well, and what to expect from it.

At Spotless Detailing, when customers book in for ceramic coating, one of the most common surprises is how much prep goes into the process before the coating even touches the paintwork. Why? Because ceramic coating is only as good as the surface it bonds to. You can have the best coating in the world, but if it’s applied over embedded contaminants or minor paint defects, it won’t perform or last the way it should. That’s why our team puts such a huge focus on prep work and paint decontamination before every ceramic job. Here’s a breakdown of how we make sure your car’s paint is in prime condition before protection begins.
