Frequently asked questions

Common questions

Where is The Detail Clinic located?

634 S State College Blvd, Fullerton, CA 92831. We serve Fullerton and surrounding Orange County cities including Anaheim, Brea, Placentia, and Buena Park.

How do I book an appointment?

Use our online booking link from the site header or contact page, or call (562) 632-8290. Tell us your vehicle, services you want (PPF, tint, coating, detailing), and timing preferences.

What is the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?

PPF is a clear urethane film that absorbs rock chips and scrapes. Ceramic coating is a bonded layer that adds gloss and hydrophobic behavior but does not stop impacts. Many vehicles use both on different areas.

Is ceramic window tint legal in California?

California regulates visible light transmission on front side windows; rear windows have different rules. We help you choose compliant ceramic IR films that balance heat rejection and legality.

How long does PPF installation take?

It depends on coverage and vehicle complexity. Partial front jobs differ from full-vehicle wraps. We provide realistic time estimates when you book.

Do you work on luxury and exotic vehicles?

Yes. We regularly protect high-value and performance cars with careful prep and installation suited to complex panels and trim.

Can I wash my car after PPF or coating?

There is usually a cure or wait period before the first wash; we give written care guidance after service. Avoid harsh automatic brushes to prolong film and coating life.

Do you offer paint correction?

Yes. Correction reduces swirls and defects before PPF or coating when needed. See our detailing services and paint correction guide for more detail.
