DShine vs. any other detailer
in Kendall, Miami-Dade County
Six things most detailers won't tell you — we put them in writing.
Since 2018
In August 2018, Evelio launched DShine Details with one van and zero shortcuts. For the first six months he slept in the van to keep costs down and standards up. Today DShine runs 7 certified vans across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach — but the commitment hasn’t changed: every vehicle is treated as if it were his own.

Kendall's environment
is harder on your vehicle.
Kendall's suburban sprawl means vehicles spend significant time outdoors, often without covered parking. South Florida's UV index in Miami-Dade's interior is among the highest in the state — ceramic coating prevents the UV-induced clear coat oxidation that turns vehicle finishes milky and dull.

Every Number We Charge, Published Right Here
The full price list, with the per-year math done
Almost nobody in Miami publishes coating prices; compare us with the numbers in front of you.
| Coating | Duration | Price | Per year | Correction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gyeon | 2 years | $799 | ~$400 | No |
| Gtechniq | 3 years | $1,299 | ~$433 | No |
| Symplex | 5 years | $1,599 | ~$320 | Yes |
The counterintuitive part: the priciest tier is the cheapest per year — and the only one with correction included.
Sedan, SUV, or truck
The tiers above are starting prices, and for sedans and standard SUVs they are typically the final price too. Oversized trucks and large three-row SUVs take longer, so we confirm your exact quote before you book — never after. The number you approve is the number you pay.
Coating versus waxing every six weeks
In South Florida heat a wax realistically survives about six weeks — eight to nine cycles a year for a Kendall daily driver. Even at a modest $50 per wax, that tops $400 a year for protection that keeps dissolving. A coating is applied once, wherever you prefer: our self-sufficient van at your home, or pick-up to our Doral garage studio for controlled indoor curing. IDA plus 8 certifications, $2M insured, written warranty.
Questions Kendall drivers ask us
How much does ceramic coating cost in Kendall exactly?
$799 for two-year Gyeon, $1,299 for three-year Gtechniq, $1,599 for five-year Symplex with full paint correction included — roughly $400, $433, and $320 per year respectively. Sedans and standard SUVs typically pay the listed price; oversized trucks get an exact quote confirmed before booking.
What are the real disadvantages of ceramic coating?
Honest answer: it is not a force field. It resists chemicals, UV, and wash marring, but will not stop rock chips, and it cannot hide already-damaged paint — that needs correction first, included only in our five-year tier. And if you are selling the car next month, keep the money.
Is ceramic coating actually cheaper than waxing over five years?
Usually. Waxing every six weeks is eight to nine applications a year; even at $50 each that passes $400 annually — over $2,000 across five years — with protection that fades between cycles. The five-year Symplex costs $1,599 once, about $320 per year, correction and written warranty included.
