Caring for your investment

 We are here to help you with more than just detailing. Motorhead has invested years in the automotive industry gathering connections and knowledge of everything with a motor. We are here to be your ‘go-to’ resource when it comes to questions, modifications, and repairs. All it takes is a phone call!

Many insurance policies may cover the cost of reapplying a ceramic coating when coated exterior parts are repaired, repainted, or replaced after a covered accident. If this happens, contact Motorhead—or have your body shop contact us—for an estimate to restore the ceramic coating that can be submitted to your insurance company. 

For vehicles with a substantial investment in Paint Protection Film, we recommend contacting your insurance provider ahead of time to confirm your specific coverage and determine whether your policy should be adjusted to fully protect that investment.

Staying on top of regular maintenance will keep the high-gloss and easy-to-wash factors active.  We are here to help you with that by providing professional-grade detailing products available for purchase.

You will receive a message from us when you ceramic coating is nearing the maintenance period.  When you recieve that message, reach out to us to discuss how you have been using your vehicle.  

 · Avoid touching any polished surfaces; paint, gloss pillars, wheels, etc. Touching these surfaces, especially with dust or dirt on them, will easily scratch the finish and cause swirl marks.

· Proper weekly washes will make the coating applied to your ride last longer!

· Hand washing is best, for drive-through car washes always choose the basic wash at touchless locations.

· Removing bird droppings, bugs, tree sap, tar, etc. as quickly as possible will reduce the chance of etching the clear coat. 

· Schedule reoccurring appointments with Motorhead or, do it yourself. 

 Two 5gal buckets with grit guards, pH-neutral  auto wash soap, soft wash mitt, large microfiber drying towels, tire shine & applicator AND most importantly *attention to detail! 

 · Most car wash soaps are ‘aggressive’ and will strip wax/sealants on your paint which will remove protection and hydrophobic factors. Using a simple soap that will just clean is crucial. 

· A very soft wash mitt that is cleaned after each use, will reduce the chance of introducing scratches and swirls in your paint during washing. 

· Washing in the shade is preferred. When washing you want to make sure that water or soap is not drying on the surface because it will damage or even mar the finish. 

· Rinse your wash mitt after wiping a small section (door size) from top to bottom on.

· When drying, fold the large microfiber towel in half, wipe with long and gentle strokes.

· Washing your microfiber drying and application towels after each use is necessary. 

 · Film edges will need an inspection after a week as some may peel back.  This is because our goal is to get the maximum amount of coverage possible. 

· Avoid drive-through car washes for the first week until the edges are trimmed and final secured. 

· The self healing factors are phenomenal when it comes to looking good for the long run, this does not mean you should intentionally cause damage to the film.  

· Etchings can still happen on the film so make sure to remove bugs, bird droppings, tree sap as soon as possible.
