The Xcelleration Detailing Difference…
The fact of the matter is you cannot get top quality results in a driveway or a parking lot. By doing the work at our state-of-the-art facility at Sarasota International Airport, we are able to consistently deliver quality results. Proper lighting, soft water and a clean controlled environment are essential to a top-quality job. Paint sealants and ceramics need to cure overnight in a dry environment for best results and longevity.
Don’t be fooled by mobile detailers using convenience as an excuse for not having a proper facility to do your car correctly. We use only the finest products at our facility to give you the best results. All our chemicals, soaps, and sealers are professional grade. It makes a huge difference; you can see it in the finished product. You deserve the best. We bring excellence in all we do for you. Contact us to get pricing and availability to schedule your vehicle, aircraft or collectible. Show car detailing and restoration also available.

Frequently Asked Questions
It varies by the quality of the coating and the number of layers. We use a 9H Hardness Ceramic “The Best.” It on average will last 2 or 3 years depending on the care given to the automobile. If it is hand washed or detailed and garage kept, it will last longer than if it’s stored outside and run through car washes. We offer a variety of ceramics and offer up to 3 layers which can create up to a 5-year protection if properly cared for.
We have an aircraft hangar at Sarasota International Airport. It offers fantastic lighting as well as a clean environment to detail and apply paint, sealants, and ceramic coating.

Let’s start with what it’s not. It’s not a simple car wash and vacuum. Detailing is about removing stains, smells, marks, and environmental damage. It’s about returning a vehicle to as close to new as is possible. Not all cars can be saved due to neglect, use, or mileage. However, a highly trained team uses the best products and processes and can create impressive 5-star results.
It’s about consistent results and excellence. Our state-of-the-art 8,000 sq. ft. facility allows us to bring a controlled environment to every step of the detail process. Our facility is safe, clean, and complete with everything needed to detail an everyday driver to the most exotic supercar or business jet.
