In our Flemington studio
Ceramic coating, done indoors
Ceramic coating is the one service we do not bring to you. The paint has to be washed, decontaminated and corrected, then the coating has to cure somewhere clean and dry.
In Hunterdon that rules out most driveways: spring pollen, dust off gravel lanes and summer humidity all end up in the coating. So you drop the car at our studio and pick it up coated. Most of the county is 30 minutes away or less.
Coating is quoted after we inspect the paint; the price depends on vehicle size, paint condition and the coating tier. See ceramic coating at our Flemington studio or read what ceramic coating costs in NJ.
At your home, farm or office
Mobile detailing across the county
Interior and exterior details, paint correction, headlight restoration and engine bays all come to you. We bring the equipment; for most jobs we just need access to a tap and an outlet. A lot of our Hunterdon work is on long private driveways and farm properties, and that is fine by us.
Most of the county is inside our standard local region. If you are at the far edge, we confirm any travel charge before you book. More on how mobile detailing works.

What Hunterdon County does to a car
Hunterdon is farm and horse country with a lot of back roads, and the cars show it. The jobs we see most often here are different from what a detailer in a denser part of the state deals with:
- Mud and hay inside. Barn boots, feed bags and dogs mean carpets packed with dirt and hair. Interior detailing with hot-water extraction is the fix, not a quick vacuum.
- Gravel and dirt road dust. Fine dust gets into door jambs and scratches paint every time it is wiped dry. Rinse it, do not wipe it.
- Tree sap and pollen. Wooded lots in High Bridge, Tewksbury and around Round Valley drop sap all summer, and farm pollen covers everything each spring.
- Road salt and brine. Route 31, Route 202 and I-78 are heavily treated every winter. Salt collects under the car and on lower panels. Our NJ road salt guide has the routine we recommend.
- Well water spots. Many homes here are on private wells, and hard water dried on paint leaves mineral spots. Coated cars shed water better, but still need to be dried properly.
For a daily driver that sits outside and sees all of the above, a ceramic coating applied in early fall is the protection we recommend most. If the paint already has swirls, it gets paint correction first; our guide on why prep matters before coating explains how we decide how much.

Final prices depend on vehicle size and condition, and we confirm them before any work starts.
Hunterdon County detailing FAQ
Do you come to me anywhere in Hunterdon County?
For everything except ceramic coating, yes. Our mobile unit works across Hunterdon County, from Flemington and Raritan Township out to Clinton, Lambertville, Frenchtown and Tewksbury. Most of the county sits inside our standard local region; if your address is at the far edge, we confirm any travel charge before you book.
Why is ceramic coating not done at my house?
A coating needs clean, dry, controlled conditions to bond and cure. Pollen, dust from a gravel drive, dew or a passing shower can ruin it. So ceramic coating is done in our studio in Flemington. You drop the car off and pick it up once it has cured.
How long is the drive to your Flemington studio?
From most of Hunterdon County it is 30 minutes or less: about 15 minutes from Clinton, about 20 from Lambertville or High Bridge, and 25 to 30 from Tewksbury or Califon.
Do you need water and power at my place?
For most jobs, access to an outdoor tap and a standard outlet lets us use our full equipment. Many homes in Hunterdon County are on private wells; if your water is hard or leaves spots, mention it when you book so we can plan the rinse and dry around it.
Can you handle farm trucks and muddy interiors?
Yes. Mud-packed carpets, hay, pet hair and barn smell are routine work for us in Hunterdon. Interior detailing starts from $199, and heavily soiled vehicles are priced after we see them.
What are your hours?
We are open 24/7, and you can book online any time. Call (908) 489-6699 for a quote.
