One-step enhancement plus a 1.5-year ceramic coating, designed to keep your paint glossier, cleaner, and easier to maintain.
A ceramic coating bonds to your clear coat and changes how the surface behaves. Water leaves faster. Dirt holds on with less grip. The finish stays sharp between washes.
It protects the finish that is already there. Whatever is in the paint on the day it goes on stays in the paint underneath.
Most vehicles are ready to coat as they sit. Some are not. You should know which one yours is before the work starts.
For newer vehicles and well-maintained paint, a one-step correction refines the finish, improves gloss and clarity, and gives the ceramic coating a better surface to protect. It is part of the package, not an upsell.
An enhancement, not a full multi-stage correction. One stage improves the finish. It will not remove every defect, and deeper scratches stay.
If your paint needs more than one stage, I will tell you that after seeing it.
Your vehicle may be brand new to you, but the paint has already been through transportation, dealership preparation, washing, and handling.
That is normal. It also means delivery day is rarely the best that paint can look. The one-step correction runs before the coating goes on, so what gets sealed in is a refined finish rather than the one the transport truck handed you.
Same sequence every time. The prep decides how the coating performs, so none of it gets skipped.
One package, priced by surface area. The one-step correction and the 1.5-year coating are both included at every size.
Pricing includes Florida sales tax. Confirmed after a look at the vehicle. Nothing starts without your approval.
Papaya uses GYEON ceramic technology for this service. GYEON is a professional coating manufacturer built around durability and repeatable results.
The coating applied is GYEON CanCoat EVO, a professional-grade SiO2 coating rated for up to 1.5 years with proper maintenance.
You are buying a service, not a bottle. The result comes from the prep underneath and the care taken applying it.
A coating makes maintenance easier. It does not remove it. Dirt and water spots still land on the surface, and left long enough they still dull the finish.
Washed properly, a coated car holds its gloss for the life of the coating. Run through a brush wash, it will not.
Papaya offers recurring maintenance detailing for coated vehicles, so it stays that way without you thinking about it.
For most owners, yes. New paint is the cleanest it will ever be, so the coating locks in a good starting point. The payoff is easier washing and a finish that holds its look. If you are keeping the car six months, it is hard to justify.
Yes. Every package includes a one-step correction before the coating goes on, because the coating seals in whatever is there. One stage handles light swirls and wash marks. Paint that needs multiple stages is a bigger job and gets quoted separately after I see it.
UV, bird droppings, bug residue, sap, hard water spotting and road film. They attack the coating instead of your clear coat, and come off far easier before they can etch. Chemical and environmental protection, not physical armor.
Yes, both, and both are included. The windshield and side glass get the same coating, so water beads and clears faster at speed and bugs and sprinkler spots come off with much less scrubbing. The wheel faces get it too, which is where it earns its keep in Florida: brake dust rinses off instead of baking on. Glass wears faster than paint because the wiper blades ride on it, and wheel faces take the most heat of anything on the car.
Up to a year. Real life depends on how it is washed, whether it is garaged, and sun exposure. A garage-kept car washed properly reaches the full window. One parked outside and run through brush washes will not.
No. Nothing applied to paint makes it scratch proof, and anyone claiming otherwise is selling you something. It adds a thin sacrificial layer with some resistance to light marring. It will not stop rock chips, key scratches, or swirls from bad wash technique.
Wax sits on top and lasts weeks to a few months, breaking down with heat and detergents. A coating chemically bonds to the clear coat and forms a harder, more chemically resistant layer. The difference shows up in durability and chemical resistance.
Wash regularly with pH-neutral shampoo, two-bucket or touchless, and dry with clean microfiber. Avoid brush tunnels, harsh degreasers and washing in direct sun. Do not let droppings or sprinkler water sit for days. You get the full rundown when the work is done.
A single machine polishing stage that refines the finish, improves gloss and clarity, and reduces light swirls and wash marks. It is not a full multi-stage correction and will not remove every defect, so deeper scratches stay. On newer paint it is usually all that is needed.
Tell me about the vehicle. I will confirm pricing, timing, and what your paint needs. Nothing is scheduled until you approve the number.
