    • PRECISION PROCESS

    MULTI-STAGE CORRECTION PROCESS

    Stage 1

    Vehicle Inspection

    Paint condition assessed under LED inspection lights. Defects are categorised and photographed.

    Stage 2

    Paint Thickness

    A paint thickness gauge measures clear coat depth at multiple points to guide safe correction.

    Stage 3

    Compounding

    A heavy-cut compound removes the deepest defects, scratches, and oxidation from the clear coat.

    Stage 4

    Machine Polishing

    Progressive polishing stages refine the surface and remove any compound marks or haze.

    Stage 5

    Paint Refinement

    A finishing polish brings out maximum gloss, colour depth, and mirror-like reflectivity.

    Stage 6

    Final Inspection

    A rigorous inspection under multiple light sources confirms every panel meets our quality standard.

    • WHAT TINT DEFENDS AGAINST

    FULL-SPECTRUM PROTECTION

    UV Rays

    UV-blocking chemistry halts paint oxidation, chalking, and colour fading for years.

    Heat

    Ceramic tint rejects up to 95% of infrared solar heat, keeping your cabin significantly cooler.

    Glare

    Dramatically reduces blinding glare from direct sunlight and oncoming headlights.

    Interior Fading

    UV-blocking film prevents dashboard, leather, and upholstery from cracking and fading prematurely.

    Eye Strain

    Reduced glare means less squinting — driving is more relaxed and safer in bright conditions.

    Skin Exposure

    Prolonged UV exposure through unprotected glass accelerates skin ageing. Tint is your daily SPF.

    Glass Shatter

    Window film bonds glass fragments together in the event of an impact, reducing shatter risk.

    Sun Damage

    Continuous sun exposure degrades vehicle interiors over time. Tint extends the life of every surface.

    • THE CLEAR WINNER

    CERAMIC COATING VS TRADITIONAL WAX

    They work best together. Here is what each does independently.
    • PERMANENT RESTORATION

    Paint Correction

    • Permanently removes paint defects
    • Multi-stage machine polishing
    • Long-lasting clarity & depth
    • Restores true paint reflectivity
    • Deep mirror-like finish
    • Measurable defect removal %
    • TEMPORARY ENHANCEMENT

    Traditional Polish

    • Temporary shine & gloss boost
    • Minimal actual defect removal
    • Cosmetic surface enhancement
    • Short-lived results (weeks)
    • Surface gloss only
    • Masks rather than removes defects
    • PRO TIP — FOLLOW CORRECTION WITH CERAMIC COATING
    Paint correction removes defects permanently. Ceramic coating then seals and protects the flawless surface, preventing new defects from forming. Together they are the definitive paint protection strategy.
    • PAINT CARE

    Paint care
    GUIDE.

    Safe Washing

    Always use the two-bucket wash method with a pH-neutral shampoo and a clean microfibre wash mitt.

    Microfiber Drying

    Dry with a plush microfibre towel or blower. Never use chamois leather or bath towels on corrected paint.

    Ceramic Coating Aftercare

    If ceramic coated after correction, follow coating-specific care instructions for maximum longevity.

    Avoid Auto Car Washes

    Automated brushes cause the very swirl marks paint correction removes. Hand wash only.

    • CLIENT STORIES

    TRUSTED BY ENTHUSIASTS

    “Xcel Auto Care took wonderful care of my vehicle and did amazing work. He was very quick and the work is spotless. I will be recommending Xcel Auto Care to anyone that needs their car detailed in the Bozeman area. Such a satisfied customer, will be returning!”

    Amber Kellen

    2024 Porsche 911 GT3

    “I Couldn’t be happier with the way Xcel Auto Care took care of my car. I made the mistake of transporting some diesel fuel in my hatch, one tipped over and spilled about a gallon onto my folded down seat and soaked everything. They pulled the seat stripped it down and extracted the diesel fuel out of the seat cushion and carpet. The smell is nearly back to normal and the rest of the interior looks great! I highly recommend Xcel and look forward to having my other cars detailed here as well.”

    Randy

    2024 GMC Acadia Denali

    “Xcel Auto Care was awesome and very up front and honest with the product they sells. I was going to go with a higher level of tint, after speaking with them, they showed me the heat rejection values were similar to a tint that cost significantly less we went with that one. Very happy with the tint and job that Xcel Auto Care did. Highly recommend”

    “Xcel Auto Care did an amazing job on our Subaru! Amazing customer service (quick responses and friendly), picked it up and dropped it off and detailing was excellent (coming from a multidog, outside adventure family) – looked like new – this is the place to take your car.”

    Samantha Forrest

    2024 Subaru

    “Xcel Auto Care absolutely knocked it out of the park tinting my 23’ Super Duty!! Quality tint and great customer service. Will be bringing all my vehicles to him moving forward!”

    Alex Mendoza

    2023 Ford Super Duty

    “This was our first experience getting our vehicle detailed. Xcel Auto Care did not disappoint! They did an amazing job detailing the inside of our truck. We were extremely skeptical of how it would turn out since it was covered in sunscreen by two wild toddlers and they managed to get it all out! They also did an exceptional job with the wash and buffing and it was like we drove away with a brand new truck. We were also able to book an appointment on short notice and they were very communicative when we dropped off and picked up. We will definitely be using them again for our detailing needs!! Outstanding service….Highly highly recommend!!! Thank you so much, Xcel Auto Care!”

    FREQUENLTY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a thermoplastic urethane film applied to a vehicle’s painted surfaces to protect against rock chips, scratches, road debris, and minor abrasions. Modern PPF is optically clear, self-healing, and can last 10+ years with proper care.
    Professional-grade ceramic coatings applied by certified installers typically last 3–7 years, depending on the product tier and how well the vehicle is maintained. Our top-tier coatings carry a 5-year warranty.
    Vehicle wrap pricing depends on the size of the vehicle, the type of film, and the complexity of the design. A standard full wrap typically starts around $2,500 for compact vehicles and can exceed $6,000 for luxury SUVs. Contact us for a precise quote.
    Installation times vary by service. A full PPF installation typically takes 3–5 days. A full wrap takes 2–4 days. Ceramic coatings take 1–2 days. We’ll provide a precise timeline during your consultation.
    Absolutely — especially on high-value vehicles. PPF protects your original paint from chips and scratches, preserves resale value, and eliminates costly repainting. Most owners recoup the cost through avoided paint repairs and higher trade-in values.
    Paint correction results are permanent in the sense that the defects are physically removed. However, new swirls and scratches can develop over time through improper washing or contact. Following a safe wash method and applying ceramic coating dramatically extends how long the finish stays flawless.
