Alternative Detailing Solutions Why Detail Your Car? Insect residue!
(1)

With over a decade of experience, ADS has the tools and expertise for any detailing job! Because your car deserves it. And so do you.

“What are detailing services?”

Regular detailing keeps your car in showroom condition for future resale value. That, and aren’t you happier when you have a clean car?

“Why should I have my car detailed?”

The key word here is MAINTENANCE. You maintain your car me

chanically by getting tune-ups and oil changes, right? You rotate your tires, don’t you? Well, you also need to maintain your car’s cosmetic condition to keep its value.

“But I wash my car regularly.”

Washing is part of your car’s maintenance program, but there’s oh so many hazards out there. Like bird droppings! Tree sap! Road tar! And don’t forget acid rain and industrial fallout!!! Seriously, you should have your exterior regularly cleaned and protected with a paint sealant. And like the carpets and upholstery in your home, your vehicle’s interior needs to be periodically shampooed to remove those nasty stains, dirt and grit. Gross!

“Okay, I’m convinced! But what detail services are right for my vehicle?”

Alternative Detailing Solutions will check out your vehicle and recommend the services you need. We’re always happy to answer questions about your car’s maintenance.

“How often should I get my car detailed?”

It depends. How often do you drive it? Do you wash your car a lot? Not at all? Is it exposed to the sun, rain and other environmental hazards? We think a good standard is every 6 months or so.

🍀 Feeling lucky this St. Patrick’s Day? 🍀

There’s nothing quite like that “just coated” shine ✨ — but here’s the secret… luck has nothing to do with it.

A professionally ceramic coated vehicle doesn’t just look amazing the day you get it done — it stays that way with the right care. After some time on the road, dirt and grime can dull that slick, glossy finish.

That’s where we come in.

A proper maintenance wash brings that coating back to life — restoring the shine, the slickness, and that like-new feeling all over again.

🚗 Less effort.
💧 Easier cleaning.
✨ That fresh, glossy look you love.

Give your vehicle that “lucky” feeling again this St. Paddy’s Day 🍀

Not all paint protection is the same.

This 2024 Ford Ranger just received Opti-Shield Liquid Paint Protection Film — a next-generation protection system that bridges the gap between traditional ceramic coatings and paint protection film.

Unlike a standard coating, Opti-Shield cures into a thicker, extremely durable protective layer that helps resist scratches, road debris, and everyday wear while still delivering the deep gloss and slick finish people love.

Benefits of Opti-Shield:
• Increased scratch and impact resistance
• Much thicker than traditional ceramic coatings
• Seamless application — no edges or film lines
• Won’t peel or yellow over time
• Repairable and correctable if damaged
• Long-lasting protection bonded directly to the paint

The result?
A deep shine, easier maintenance, and serious protection for your vehicle’s finish.

If you're looking for the next level of paint protection, Opti-Shield might be the perfect option.

✨ Ceramic Coatings Are Amazing… But They Aren’t Magic ✨

Ceramic coatings provide incredible protection, gloss, and make cleaning your vehicle much easier. But just like anything protecting your vehicle, they still need a little care to keep performing their best.

Over time, road grime, salt, minerals, and environmental fallout can clog the pores of the coating. When that happens, the coating may seem like it’s not working as well — water doesn’t bead the same and the surface can feel dull.

The good news?
Most of the time the coating is still there and doing its job — it just needs a proper maintenance wash and decontamination to bring it back to life.

Our maintenance service safely removes the buildup and restores the hydrophobic properties and shine your coating is meant to have.

✔ Restores water beading
✔ Revives gloss and slickness
✔ Extends the life of your coating
✔ Keeps your vehicle looking its best

A ceramic coated vehicle requires less maintenance than a non-coated vehicle, but regular care is still key to getting the most out of your investment.

📞 Call today to schedule your ceramic coating maintenance wash and keep your protection performing like new!

✨ What can a good polish do for your vehicle? You might be surprised.

Over time, your vehicle’s paint picks up swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and dullness from washing, weather, and everyday driving. A professional paint polish removes those imperfections and restores the depth, gloss, and clarity of your paint.

At Alternative Detailing Solutions, a proper polish can:

✔ Remove swirl marks and light scratches
✔ Restore gloss and color depth
✔ Improve clarity and reflection in the paint
✔ Prepare the surface for waxes or ceramic coatings
✔ Bring back that “like new” finish

Even vehicles that look “pretty clean” can have a huge transformation once the paint is polished.

Whether you’re getting ready for car show season, protecting your investment, or just want your ride looking its absolute best, a professional polish can make a dramatic difference.

📅 Schedule your polish with us and see the difference for yourself.

🚨 Opti-Shield Appointments Are Filling Up! 🚨

After posting our first Opti-Shield Liquid Paint Protection Film install, the response has been incredible — and our schedule is already starting to fill up.

If you’ve been thinking about serious paint protection, now is the time to get on the books.

But a question we’ve been getting a lot is:
“Why choose Opti-Shield instead of just a ceramic coating?”

Here’s the real difference:

🛡 Ceramic Coatings
• Incredible gloss and depth
• Hydrophobic (water & dirt slide off easily)
• Makes washing and maintenance much easier
• Chemical and UV resistance

But ceramic coatings are very thin. They help protect the paint surface but don’t offer real impact or scratch resistance.

💪 Opti-Shield Liquid Paint Protection Film
• 15x thicker than ceramic coatings
• Real impact & scratch resistance
• Permanent bond to factory paint
• Seamless install — no film edges or peel lines
• Can be spot repaired if damaged
• Won’t yellow over time

This is true physical protection for your paint.

🔥 The Ultimate Combo: Opti-Shield + Ceramic Coating

This is where things get next level.

Opti-Shield acts as the armor, protecting your paint from chips, scratches, and impact.
A ceramic coating on top provides the slickness, insane gloss, and hydrophobic properties that keep the vehicle cleaner and easier to maintain.

Together you get:
✔️ Impact protection
✔️ Scratch resistance
✔️ Extreme gloss
✔️ Easy maintenance washing
✔️ Long-term durability
✔️ Maximum protection possible

It’s the best of both worlds.

Whether it’s your daily driver, new vehicle, show car, or classic, this system keeps your paint protected and looking incredible for years.

Here’s our tips for mud season! ☔️🌧️

Mud, water, and messy boots are unavoidable this time of year — but cleaning them up doesn’t have to be a headache.

At Alternative Detailing Solutions, we offer Opti-Guard interior coatings designed to protect your vehicle’s seats, carpets, and interior surfaces.

✔ Opti-Guard Fabric creates a super-hydrophobic barrier so liquids bead up and roll off instead of soaking into carpets and seats.
✔ Opti-Guard Leather & Vinyl protects against staining, cracking, and premature aging while keeping that factory look.
✔ Makes mud, spills, and everyday messes much easier to clean.

Want to make things EVEN easier?

Ask about our maintenance detailing packages to keep your vehicle on a regular cleaning schedule so it stays fresh all mud season long.

Stop by the shop to learn more or schedule an appointment and keep your ride protected this spring!
