Ceramic Coating & Car Wash in Scottsdale, AZ
A by-appointment studio for people who want their car washed properly and protected from sun, dust and hard water. Two cars at a time, by the same hands.
From a Proper Wash to a Coating
Every service starts with the same careful hand wash. The rest depends on what your paint needs.
What Arizona Does to Paint
Sun bakes the clear coat and cracks dashboards. Monsoon storms leave a film of dust that scratches when you wipe it. Sprinkler water dries into white spots that etch the paint if they sit. A coating doesn't make a car indestructible, but it gives all of that something harder to land on.
Varenne is a two-car studio off the Loop 101. Every car is washed by hand, inspected under bright light, corrected if it needs it and coated indoors, where nothing can fall on it while it cures.

What Clean Paint Looks Like
What a Coating Will and Won't Do
It will
Make washing faster, keep dust and bird droppings from sticking, and hold its gloss in the sun.
It won't
Stop rock chips or door dings. For those, ask about paint protection film.
It needs
Gentle washes. Automatic brush washes wear any coating down faster.

Before You Book
How long will the coating last on my car?
It depends on how the car is kept and washed. With gentle washes and a maintenance visit every few weeks, most last years rather than months. We'll tell you at the consult what's realistic for your car and how you drive it.
Do I need paint correction first?
Usually some. Whatever is on the paint gets sealed under the coating, swirls included. We look at the paint under light with you and quote the correction separately, so you can decide.
How do I wash a coated car?
By hand, with a pH-neutral soap and clean towels, or bring it to us for a maintenance wash. Avoid automatic brush washes.
How long will you have my car?
A maintenance wash is about an hour while you wait. A wash and sealant is half a day. A coating is two to three days, because it cures overnight indoors.
Can you pick up my car?
Within about ten miles of the studio, yes, for coating and correction visits. Ask when you book.
When do I pay?
Card or bank transfer at pickup, once you've seen the finished car.
