What's Included in Ceramic Coating
This is not polish. Ceramic coating requires 8 precise preparation steps before application — including clay bar decontamination, machine polishing, and a full IPA wipe-down. Certification is required for proper application.

DShine vs. any other detailer

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.

Surfside's environment
is harder on your vehicle.
Surfside's Collins Avenue addresses are in direct Atlantic salt air exposure. The combination of ocean humidity, UV reflection off the water surface, and salt mist makes Surfside one of the highest-priority environments for ceramic coating in Miami-Dade.
Surfside is small, quiet,
and fully oceanfront.
Surfside is a small, residential barrier-island town wedged between the resort intensity of Bal Harbour and Miami Beach — its footprint is compact, but the ocean exposure is exactly the same as its flashier neighbors.
Full ocean exposure, small footprint
Every street in Surfside sits close enough to the Atlantic that salt air reaches it daily — there's no interior, low-exposure pocket the way there might be in a larger coastal city.
A quieter, more residential beach town
Without Bal Harbour's resort traffic or Miami Beach's tourist density, Surfside's cars are more often daily-driven residents' vehicles parked outdoors long-term — steady salt exposure without the added grime of constant valet turnover.
Certified installers, documented process, before-and-after photos. Ceramic coating from $799 — travel included anywhere in Surfside.

Four Blocks Wide, and All of It in the Salt
A beach town with no back row
Bigger coastal cities have inland neighborhoods where the salt fades; Surfside does not. From the beachfront towers to the west side of town is a stroll, which means every vehicle here lives inside the spray zone, including the ones under a building. Salt-laden humidity settles on paint nightly and etches wherever moisture lingers. A ceramic barrier takes that chemistry on itself and rinses clean, which is the entire point of it.
Understated cars, serious specification
The Surfside client rarely drives the loudest car on Collins; it is the well-chosen German sedan, the family Range Rover, the weekend convertible, kept for years and kept right. For those owners we usually build the full stack: machine paint correction to erase the swirls salt washes leave behind, then the five-year Symplex coating at $1,599, about $320 a year. Lighter needs are covered by Gyeon at $799 for two years or Gtechniq Crystal Serum at $1,299 for three.
The easiest handoff on Collins
In a town this compact, our pick-up option shines: hand us the key at your lobby, and the car goes to our Doral garage studio to be corrected and coated indoors, no dust, no squall lines, proper lighting, then comes back cured and warrantied. When on-site suits you better, the van arrives self-sufficient, carrying its own power and deionized water, and works within your building's rules. $2M insured throughout.
Heard in the lobby
Will a coating completely stop salt-air corrosion?
No product can promise that, and we will not either. What a ceramic layer does is keep salt sitting on a chemically resistant surface instead of your clear coat, so regular rinses remove it before harm is done. It slows the ocean down considerably; it does not repeal it.
Our parking levels are tight. Can you still work on site?
Sometimes, and we will tell you honestly after seeing the space. Coating work needs room and airflow; when a garage cannot give us that, the pick-up and delivery option exists precisely for Surfside buildings, at no change in price.
How often should a coated car be washed this close to the ocean?
More often than inland, ideally a gentle rinse or wash every week or two. The coating makes each one a ten-minute job, since salt and grime release without scrubbing, and consistent washing is also what keeps the written warranty meaningful.
