Magnesium chloride on the roads, UV at 6,200 feet, and freeze-thaw cycles all winter. Tahoe is genuinely hard on paint. We apply CARFAX-registered ceramic coatings with 2, 5 and 10-year warranties — at your home or cabin.
A coating that makes sense in a mild climate is doing a different job up here. These are the three things that actually damage vehicles in the basin.
Magnesium chloride is sprayed across Mt. Rose Highway, I-80 and Highway 50 all winter. It clings to paint and undercarriage and stays corrosive long after the road dries out.
UV intensity climbs roughly 10% per 1,000 feet of elevation. At lake level you are getting substantially more exposure than the valley floor — clear coat oxidizes and dark paint fades sooner.
Sanded roads throw abrasive grit at speed, then water works into every chip and freezes. Small paint damage becomes rust far faster here than it does in Reno.
Every package includes a full exterior detail and clay bar decontamination first — a coating locks in whatever is under it, so the prep is most of the work.
Fully mobile. We bring water and power — you need a parking spot and roughly a car length of clearance.
