Ceramic Coating
Fort Lauderdale.
IDA-certified SiO2 ceramic coating applied at your home, marina, or office in Fort Lauderdale. The Venice of America's salt air and Intracoastal spray demand a permanent protective barrier.
Fort Lauderdale's Marine Environment Is Eating Your Clear Coat
Fort Lauderdale has more miles of canals than Venice. Every vehicle parked near the Intracoastal, New River, or Port Everglades absorbs salt aerosol 24 hours a day. Combined with the most active road-construction corridor in Broward, unprotected paint doesn't stand a chance.
DShine Details is a fully mobile IDA-certified ceramic coating service operating throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County. We bring our full professional setup — decontamination, correction, coating, and curing — directly to your Fort Lauderdale residence, condo, or office.
Every appointment begins with a paint thickness inspection. We never coat over contaminated or uncorrected paint. Every package includes full decontamination with iron remover and clay bar before any polish or coating is applied.
6 Fort Lauderdale Threats That Destroy Unprotected Paint
Every city in South Florida has its own specific combination of environmental threats. These are the six most damaging factors we've identified for Fort Lauderdale vehicles — threats your neighbor's paint is suffering from right now.
Intracoastal Salt Aerosol
Fort Lauderdale's 300+ miles of canals and direct Intracoastal Waterway access coat every vehicle parked nearby with invisible salt crystals. Salt penetrates micro-cracks in clear coat and accelerates oxidation from the inside out.
Port Everglades Industrial Fallout
The busiest cruise and cargo port in South Florida releases bunker fuel particles, diesel soot, and iron-rich industrial fallout. These ferrous particles bond chemically to unprotected paint and cause embedded rust spots beneath the clear coat.
Active Road & I-595 Construction
FDOT I-595/I-95 expansion work throws hot asphalt, cement dust, and silica particles into the air across the entire metro. Asphalt splatters are chemically impossible to remove from uncoated paint without abrasive correction.
Marina Freshwater Spray + Salt Mix
Rinsing a boat at the dock creates a freshwater mist mixed with salt residue and cleaning chemicals that drifts onto vehicles in the parking area. This cocktail accelerates paint etching more aggressively than either substance alone.
Australian Pine (Casuarina) Resin
Casuarina trees line A1A and many Fort Lauderdale boulevards. Their needle-like leaves and sticky resin bake onto dark-colored vehicles in the Florida heat, creating bonded deposits that require paint correction to safely remove.
UV + Humidity Double Attack
Fort Lauderdale's coastal humidity traps heat against the vehicle surface, compounding UV damage. The heat + humidity combination degrades clear coat up to 30% faster than inland environments.

Coating Over Contamination — Never
Our protocol begins with full iron remover treatment and clay bar decontamination. We never apply ceramic coating over swirl marks, embedded fallout, or uncorrected paint — because doing so permanently seals in the damage. This is the most common mistake in the industry. We do not make it.
Ceramic Coating Fort Lauderdale
— Answered.
Yes. We work regularly at Lauderdale Marine Center, Bahia Mar, Pier 66 Marina, and private marinas along the New River and Intracoastal. We coordinate access with marina management and handle all scheduling. Many boat owners also ceramic coat their tow vehicles with us at the same appointment.
It is absolutely worth it. Salt aerosol deposits on your clear coat every hour. Without a SiO2 barrier, those crystals work into micro-pores and begin oxidation within 6–12 months. A $1,199 ceramic coating will preserve paint that would otherwise cost $3,000–$8,000 in paint correction or respray within 3 years.
Yes — that is step one of our protocol. Full decontamination includes iron remover, clay bar, and chemical fallout treatment before any polishing begins. Asphalt splatter requires specific solvent decontamination. We assess every panel with paint thickness gauges and document everything before work starts.
Our Symplex Pro Shield is rated 5 years in coastal environments with proper maintenance. The Gtechniq Crystal Serum dual-layer system (hard base + EXO v5 flexible topcoat) is specifically engineered for UV and salt resistance — a strong choice for marine-adjacent vehicles in Fort Lauderdale.
