St Louis Ceramic Coating & Car Detailing

Professionally Installed. Fully Licensed and Insured. Lasts a Lifetime.

You ever spend all weekend cleaning your car, and then it rains the next day?

Yeah. Us too.

We started Arch City Detail right here in St. Louis because we were tired of our rides looking rough two days after a wash. Between the pollen, the humidity, and the salt in winter, keeping a car clean around here is like fighting a losing battle.

Then we tried ceramic coating.

It changed everything. The shine lasted, dirt didn’t stick, and water just slid right off. People started asking why our cars looked brand new all the time—and next thing you know, we were booked out doing ceramic coatings for folks all over Saint Louis and Jefferson County, from Sunset Hills to Fenton to High Ridge and back.

So yeah, this isn’t some big chain. We’re just regular people who love clean cars. And if you do too, you’re in the right place.

St Louis Ceramic Coating Reviews – Real Stories From Our Customers

What is Ceramic Coating? (And Why Everyone In St Louis Is Talking About It)

Ceramic coating is like putting a super thin, invisible raincoat on your car. But instead of fabric, it’s made from liquid nano ceramic, which bonds to your paint and stays there for years. Not weeks. Not months. Years.

It protects your paint from:

  • UV damage (yeah, that blazing STL sun)

  • Bird droppings

  • Tree sap

  • Salt and road grime

  • Bugs on I-44 in summer

But what people love most? The way it beads water. It’s wild. You spray your car and the water just rolls off like it doesn’t even want to be there.

We use pro-grade ceramic products made for real-world Missouri weather. No hype. Just solid, long-lasting protection. Everything happens right here in our shop in High Ridge.

Car Detailing Service in St Louis That Doesn’t Feel Like a Waste

Here’s what bugs us about a lot of detailers: they vacuum quick, spray something that smells like cherry, and call it a day. That’s not real detailing.

We do actual work. Stuff like:

  • Bringing your dull paint back to life

  • Steam-cleaning carpets and seats

  • Getting old french fry grease out from under your kid’s booster

We treat every car like it’s our own. Trucks too. SUVs. Whatever you bring in, we take care of it right here in the shop.

Car Wash – Real Hand Washes in High Ridge (No Spinny Brushes Here)

Automated car washes are quick. But they scratch up your paint over time.

We don’t mess with that. Every wash here is done by hand with a clean mitt, grit guards, and two buckets like pros use. No machines scraping at your finish.

Our basic hand wash includes:

  • Foam pre-soak

  • Hand wash with PH-balanced soap

  • Wheel and tire scrub

  • Hand dry with microfiber towels

Need a proper clean that’s gentle on your paint? Bring it in.

Auto Restoration Service – Bring It Back from the Dead

We’ve had cars come in here that looked like they hadn’t seen soap in years.

  • Oxidized paint

  • Fogged-over headlights

  • Carpet stains from who-knows-what

But there's almost always a way to make it better.

We love taking something rough and bringing it back to life.

Why Arch City Detail Ceramic Coating Outperforms the Competition

If you live around here, you already know. The weather is a mess. One week it’s snow, next week it’s 90° with humidity you can feel in your shoes.

That back-and-forth is rough on paint. Ceramic coating protects your clear coat from fading in summer and keeps salt from tearing it up in winter.

We’ve had customers bring one car in… and then come back with the rest of the family’s cars. Once they see how easy it is to clean and how good it looks, they’re in.

Local Tip: Pine Tree Sap Ruins Paint in St Louis

If you’ve parked under trees in spring, you already know. Pine needles get everywhere. And they leave sap. That sticks.

Ceramic coating helps with that. Instead of clinging to your paint, the sap washes right off. Way easier to rinse, way less time spent wiping down your car every few days.
