The flagship

Wash it less.
Love it more.

Ceramic coating bonds to your paint at the molecular level — water beads off, dirt won't stick, and the gloss goes deeper than any wax ever could. It's the single best investment you can make in your vehicle's finish, and it's what we're known for.

Finishing work inside the 3D Auto Detailing shop
Built for Louisiana

This climate
eats paint.

Gulf humidity, salt air, brutal sun, and love bug season — Louisiana is one of the hardest places in America to keep a vehicle looking new. Our process is built for exactly that.

01

Inspect

We assess paint condition, oxidation, swirls, and interior wear before we quote — no surprises, ever.

02

Decon

Hand wash, clay bar, and deep extraction pull off the bonded grime and stains a regular wash can't touch.

03

Correct

Machine polishing removes swirls and light scratches, restoring true clarity and reflection.

04

Protect

Ceramic sealant or full SiO₂ coating locks in the finish against UV, salt, and Louisiana weather.

The story

Named after
my daughters.

The "3D" isn't a gimmick — it stands for Daisia, Domonique, and Da'Yonna, the three daughters this whole thing was built for. What started in 2003 as a father's hustle with a hose and a dream became a mobile operation trusted by NBA pros, hotels, and businesses across New Orleans — and in 2019, a full shop in Chalmette.

Twenty-plus years later, it's still family. Still hands-on. Still lighting up the city one car at a time.

Good to know

Questions,
answered

How long does a detail take?

A wash runs about an hour. Full details take 3–5 hours. Ceramic coating with paint correction is typically a full day at the shop so the coating cures right.

Do you really come to me?

Yes — we bring everything, including water and power. Home, office, or job site, anywhere in New Orleans and surrounding parishes. When you book, your time is the start of a 2-hour arrival window — book 8 AM and we arrive between 8 and 10. Ceramic coatings are done at our Chalmette shop for proper cure conditions.

Sealant vs. ceramic coating?

The sealant (included in every Full Detail) gives 8 months to a year of protection. A true SiO₂ ceramic coating bonds to your paint for 3 to 7 years of gloss and protection — a different level entirely.

How do I hold my appointment?

Ceramic coatings are secured with a $250 deposit, with the balance due at completion. Everything else, just book and show up — or we show up.

Fleets and multiple vehicles?

Absolutely — recurring fleet programs and multi-vehicle discounts are a specialty. One invoice, scheduled service, done.
