Who it's forBuilt for people whose car is part of how they show up.
Physicians, attorneys, agents, officers, business owners. You put real miles on a vehicle you chose on purpose, and you don't have Saturdays to spend scrubbing it.
The road isn't making that easy.
The problemYour commute is wearing on your car.
Every trip down I-64, through the tunnels, or up Route 17 leaves something behind: brake dust, road film, bug acid, salt air, sun. Washing gets harder. The shine doesn't come back. The car you were proud to park in the garage now just looks tired.
That's what the Syndicate is for.
The Syndicate standardWe don't just detail cars. We preserve them.
5 a weekOnly five vehicles a week, so each one gets the time it needs.
Indoor cureYour car cures inside our Norfolk shop before you pick it up.
Registered warrantyProfessional-grade ceramic, with your warranty registered with the manufacturer.

Commuter Syndicate: Multi-Year Ceramic
For the driver who wants that new-car gloss back, and wants it to last.
What's included:
- Iron decontamination: dissolves the tiny metal specks from brake dust that stick in your paint and make it feel rough.
- Clay prep: glides over the paint and lifts out the leftover grit a normal wash can't reach, so the surface is smooth.
- Single-stage gloss polish: one machine-polish pass that brings the shine back and softens light swirl marks.
- Professional-grade ceramic coating: a hard, slick layer that bonds to your paint, so water beads off and dirt rinses away easier. Your warranty is registered with the manufacturer (NanoPro).
- 12 to 18 hour indoor cure: your car stays inside our shop while the coating hardens, away from rain, dust, and pollen.
Commuter Syndicate Elite: Ceramic + Front-End Liquid PPF
For the driver who hates finding new rock chips after every highway run.
Everything in Commuter Syndicate, plus:
- Liquid Paint Protection Film (PPF): applied as a liquid, it cures into a clear protective layer that takes the hit from small rocks and road debris so your paint doesn't have to. It helps guard against rock chips.
- Where it goes: the front "strike zones", the spots that catch the most highway debris:
- Front bumper and lower valance (the lowest part of the bumper)
- The leading 6 inches of the hood
- Fender tips (the front corners above your wheels)
- A-pillars (the posts on each side of the windshield)
- The leading 6 inches of the roof
Add-ons: windshield polish and ceramic glass coating +$199 · headlight restoration and ceramic seal +$129 · wheel face ceramic +$149 · trim rejuvenation and ceramic satin dye +$99 · express cabin dust-down +$75 (light dust only)
Card payments include a 3% convenience fee at checkout.
