Last Call for January Coatings

Four weeks ago I explained what a ceramic coating is.

Three weeks ago I broke down which coating you actually need.

Two weeks ago I showed you what vehicles I've coated (spoiler: not just expensive cars).

Last week I walked through the exact process, step-by-step, so you could see what you're paying for.

Now it's decision time.

Here's where we're at

I started January with 6 coating slots available per week.

I'm now down to 1 slot left for January.

After that? February is already filling up. (very limited slots already) And once we hit March, I'm in full spring detail season and coatings get pushed to April or later.

So if you've been reading these emails and thinking "I should probably do this," you're out of time to think.

What happens if you wait

Let's say you wait until March.

Spring hits. Pollen explodes. Everyone suddenly remembers their car exists and wants it detailed.

My calendar is full of quick details and maintenance washes. Coatings take 6-8 hours. There's no room.

You call me. I tell you I can get you in... late April. Maybe early May.

Meanwhile your car sits outside. Sun beating on it. Bird droppings etching into the clear coat. Brake dust baking onto your wheels.

All the damage you were trying to prevent? It's happening. Right now. While you wait.

Then when I finally coat it in May, we're fighting pollen and dust in the air. Not ideal conditions. Still doable, but not as clean as January.

You also miss the entire spring season where your car could've been protected and looking great.

What happens if you book now

You text me today. We lock in the last January slot.

I show up. Your car gets the full premium exterior detail. Clay bar. Paint prep. Coating application. The whole process.

By the time February hits, your car is protected.

Pollen season? Your coating handles it. Water beads off. Contaminants don't bond as hard.

Spring rains? No water spots. No streaks. Just a clean car that dries fast.

You spend the next 3-5 years (depending on which coating you chose) watching everyone else's paint fade while yours still looks new.

That's the difference.

The actual math

Let's say you're on the fence between a 3-year and a 5-year coating.

5-Year Coating + Wheels: $1,199

That's $240/year for protection.

3-Year Coating + Wheels: $949

That's $316/year for protection.

Both are cheaper than repainting faded clear coat in 5 years ($2,000-$4,000 depending on the vehicle).

Both are cheaper than five years of monthly waxing ($50/month = $3,000 over 5 years).

The coating pays for itself. You just have to actually do it.

Not sure about paying upfront? Add $200 to any coating and spread it over 3 months. $1,199 becomes $466/month. $949 becomes $383/month. Way easier to manage. Protect now, pay later.

Here's my recommendation based on everything

If you just bought a car (or plan to keep your current one 3-5+ years):

Get the 5-year coating if you're keeping it long-term. 3-year if you're in the 3-5 year range. Book it now while I have space. Protect the paint before damage happens.

Payment plans available if that helps ($200 extra, 3 monthly payments). Protect now, pay later.

If you're still not sure:

Start with the 1-year coating ($499-$599). See how you like it. Upgrade later.

If you're definitely not keeping the car long-term:

Do the 1-year coating and keep it detailed monthly or bi-monthly. You'll have protection and shine for resale without the big investment. Then coat the next car you buy.

If you're planning to wait until "the right time":

The right time was three months ago. The second-best time is now. Waiting doesn't make your paint younger.

What happens next (final version)

If you're ready to book, text me right now: 916-273-3003

Tell me:

• What you're driving

• When you want it done (I have 1 January slot left)

• Which coating you're thinking (1-year, 3-year, or 5-year)

I'll confirm availability, give you an exact quote, and lock in your date.

If you're still thinking about it, that's fine. But understand that thinking doesn't protect your paint.

Action does.

I'll be here when you're ready.

P.S. I realize I've sent a lot of emails about coatings over the last month. If you're not interested, no worries. Just reply STOP and I'll take you off the coating series. I'll still send you regular updates about detailing and maintenance, but I won't bug you about coatings again.

P.P.S. If you are interested but January doesn't work, text me anyway. I'll put you on the February list and reach out when I have availability. Better to be on the list than to forget and miss your window entirely.

P.P.P.S. Still have 2 VIP 6-Month Clean Car Passes left. Six monthly maintenance visits + one full Premium detail for $999 (normally $1,643). This pairs perfectly with a coating. Coat it in January, maintain it all year. Text VIP to 916-273-3003.

P.S. Bribery works.

I'm opening 8 "VIP Reset" spots in December. Past clients only. Email readers only. That's you.

If your car looks like you've been living in it (because you have), here's your chance to fix that before the holidays. You get a $75 loyalty credit toward:

1. A Premium Interior + Exterior detail, or

2. A paint enhancement with a ceramic coating quote at your place.

To claim one of the 8 spots, hit reply with "RESET" and tell me your vehicle and city. I'll send you two time slots. You pick one. Done.

P.P.S. Gift your guilt away.

If your car's already perfect because you actually use my service, you can gift your $75 credit to someone who needs it more. A friend. A family member. That coworker with the suspicious stains.

Just have them reply with your name so I know who to thank (or blame).

Only works in Roseville, Rocklin, Granite Bay, Folsom, Gold River, Arden Arcade, or the greater Sacramento area where cars exist.

You should reply now.
