Tri‑Lakes Signature Correction & Protection Detail

— The Monticello —

Whether your vehicle is brand new, new to you, or one you’ve cherished for years—let’s get your Pride & Joy looking its absolute best and fully protected for the road ahead. Not just detailed, but corrected, refined, and well-protected inside and out. In the legendary trophy-bass tradition of our smallest, but most renowned lake, “The Monticello” is the pinnacle of my Tri-Lakes Signature Series. A paint correction and protection service, crafted specifically to elevate your vehicle’s overall aesthetic beauty and to preserve its true finish.

Many don’t realize that even brand‑new vehicles carry hidden imperfections from factory handling, transport, and dealership prep. Light swirls, micro‑marring, bonded contaminants, rail dust, and industrial fall-out all dull the clarity and depth of your paintwork and chrome.

“The Monticello” removes those flaws the right way — through meticulous decontamination, precision single-stage polishing, and a protection system tailored to your goals.

Choose Your Level of Protection

Once your paint and interior are perfected, you decide which protection options best fit your vehicle and lifestyle.

Exterior Ceramic Protection

• 6‑Month Matte-Safe Ceramic Sealant (Included)
  Short‑term protection with boosted gloss, slickness, and hydrophobic performance.

• 5‑Year Ceramic Coating (+$400)
  Long‑term durability, UV resistance, and easier maintenance.

• 8‑Year Graphene Ceramic Coating (+$600)

Interior Ceramic Protection

A professional‑grade ceramic coating that provides long‑term resistance to UV rays, stains, wear, and fingerprints. Adds a subtle sheen, serious durability, and peace of mind.

Note: Low‑touch areas stay protected for the lifetime of the vehicle. High‑touch areas may require annual re‑application.
