EXCELLENT Based on 92 reviews Posted on Chip HolcherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The crew from Hawks Auto Detailing were fantastic. Booking was easy, they were on time and kept me informed during the entire process. It can be tough locking in auto detail services. The Hawks team were true professionals. They detailed two vehicles, and it had been about 3 years since the last detail. With a dog and two kids - a deep cleaning/detail was overdue. Both vehicles turned out beautifully and it's going to feel great to hop in and drive them tomorrow. Thank you, Steven, and Crew!Posted on Dana ThurstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hawks Auto Detailing is top notch! They were flexible with scheduling due to weather and came out making my car look better than when I picked it up from the showroom floor. They took care of a scrape by buffing it so good that I never knew there was anything there. On a black car no less. I highly recommend this business. They are passionate about their craft (you should have seen the excitement they had upon completion) and took time to educate me on aspects of my car. I will use them over and over again!Posted on Jonathan CombsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Hawks Auto Detailing.

Highly recommended, thank you!Posted on Kristin O'ConnorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just Wow. For record I have not provided any google reviews maybe ever, or if so been too long to remember. I’m making time to state here for the record that Hawks Auto Detailing is next level. My beloved Jeep has been through ringer for two years, mileage, camping, trekking, multiple large long haired dogs on the reg, landscaping projects, three moves, and man. Hawks arrived. Pit crew vibes, 4hrs, precise and meticulous, can-do beyond my imagination, fun attitude. My 8 yr old Willys is like a brand new vehicle. Pretty sure I will work with no other when it comes to auto detail. Excellent value for return!Posted on Christine LawrenceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These gentleman were courteous, very communicative, on time and did an AMAZING job bringing my husbands truck back to showroom quality!Posted on Blane MurphyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Definitely recommend!!!Posted on Alex KuhnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Hawks Auto detailing for any of your car needs. They are professional, timely, and extremely thorough with their detailing. They are willing and able to come to your house and have all the tools necessary. For the price and how long my car stays clean I think their prices are extremely reasonable
// FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions About Ceramic Coating
What is ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to a vehicle’s exterior that chemically bonds with the paint to create a durable, protective layer. This advanced technology repels water, dirt, UV rays, and other contaminants, keeping your car cleaner for longer while reducing oxidation and fading.
Unlike traditional waxes and sealants that wear off quickly, ceramic coatings provide long-term protection—lasting from 3 to 9 years, depending on the type of coating used. This makes it an excellent investment for maintaining your vehicle’s showroom shine while minimizing maintenance efforts.
How long does the ceramic coating process take?
The entire ceramic coating application process typically takes between 6-12 hours, but it may take up to 24 hours for multi-layer coatings or additional paint correction services.
The application time depends on several factors, including:
Vehicle Size – Larger vehicles, such as SUVs and trucks, require more time than sedans or coupes.
Paint Condition – If paint correction is necessary before applying the coating, this adds additional preparation time.
Number of Coating Layers – Some ceramic coatings require multiple layers for added durability, increasing the overall application time.
After application, a curing period of 24-48 hours is recommended before exposing the vehicle to rain, washing, or excessive dust.
Can ceramic coating fix scratches?
While ceramic coating does not remove existing scratches, it prevents new ones by adding a hard, protective layer over your vehicle’s paint.
Minor swirl marks and micro-scratches can be concealed with ceramic coating.
Deep scratches or paint damage will still be visible and should be addressed with paint correction before applying the coating.
For the best results, we recommend paint correction before ceramic coating to ensure a flawless, smooth surface before sealing in the protection.
How do I maintain my ceramic coating?
Proper maintenance ensures your auto ceramic coating performs at its best for years. Follow these steps to extend its lifespan:
Use pH-neutral car shampoo – Avoid harsh detergents or acidic soaps that can degrade the coating.
Avoid automatic car washes – Brushes and high-pressure chemicals can damage the ceramic layer. Hand washing is recommended.
Schedule ceramic coating maintenance – We offer monthly maintenance services starting at $120, including inspections, touch-ups, and reapplications if needed.
Park in shaded areas or use a car cover – This helps prevent prolonged UV exposure and contamination.
By following these simple steps, your ceramic coating will continue to provide superior shine and protection for years.
