Coeur d'Alene's shop for people who care what the paint actually looks like — cut and polish, ceramic coating, color sanding. Not washes. Modern cars welcome, but the old ones are what fills the bay. Starting prices published, work done indoors.
Three of the six. Every one carries a starting price, and the final number depends on the size and condition of the vehicle — not on what mood the quote is written in.
Interior and exterior together, with a one-step polish on the paint. The one most people want.
A proper cut and polish for paint carrying real defects — swirls, scratches, oxidation.
The full package — paint corrected and coated, plus the engine bay and the interior.
Most detailing around here happens in a driveway. Correction and coating shouldn't — and once you're a regular, the maintenance washes come to you anyway.
Ceramic coatings and paint correction need a clean, dust-free, temperature-stable space to cure and to be inspected properly. A parking lot in January is neither.
Swirls and haze only show under the right light at the right angle. That's how defects get found before the car goes back to you, not after.
Color sanding runs multiple days. Mobile work is priced around reaching the next driveway. This isn't.
Classics, mostly. Some of these came in looking a lot worse than they do here.
Theodore Mayer opened the shop on North Government Way in April 2025, after seven years working on other people's paint. It's a one-man operation, which is why the work is booked by appointment and why the same person who quotes your car is the one who does it.
The job he's proudest of is a 1953 Chevy — full paint correction, engine bay polished, interior done, the whole car ceramic coated.
