Karosserie was founded in New York by detailers who got tired of watching cars leave wash tunnels with fresh swirl marks. We built a studio where every single step — from pH-neutral pre-soak to final coating inspection — is done with intention. Our clients drive everything from daily commuter Civics to weekend Porsches, and every one gets the same obsessive attention to paint depth and surface protection.
We pick the right technique for each paint type, condition, and client goal — no cookie-cutter packages.
Most paint damage happens in the first 6 months of ownership. Our ceramic coatings and PPF installs are specifically designed to intercept road debris, UV degradation, and chemical etching before they reach your clear coat. We recommend protection packages on new or freshly corrected paint to lock in that finish for years.
PPF · Ceramic · UV Shield
Swirl marks from automatic car washes, holograms from improper polishing, and water spot etching from NYC hard water — we've fixed all of it. Our correction work is measured with a paint depth gauge before we touch a polisher, so we never cut more clear coat than necessary while still achieving a mirror finish.
Swirls · Oxidation · Holograms
We use steam sanitization, pH-balanced leather cleaners, and industry-grade extraction equipment on every interior detail. Seats, headliners, door cards, and carpets are treated individually — not blasted with a single product and called done. We also apply fabric and leather sealants to keep your interior looking fresh between visits.

From a single decontamination wash to a full multi-stage paint correction and ceramic coating — every service is done by hand, with professional-grade products.
We remove swirl marks, water spots, and oxidation using dual-action and rotary polishers. Single, two, or three-stage correction available depending on your paint's condition.
Professional-grade SiO2 coatings that bond to your clear coat, repel water, UV rays, and road grime for up to 5 years. Applied in a dust-controlled environment for a flawless finish.
Optically clear urethane film installed on high-impact zones — hood, bumper, mirrors, and full-body wraps. Self-healing properties keep scratches from becoming permanent.
Steam extraction, leather conditioning, fabric protection, and odor elimination. We get into every seam, vent, and panel — not just the surfaces you can see.
Two-bucket hand wash, clay bar treatment, iron fallout removal, and tar spot cleaning before any coating or correction work begins. The foundation of every proper detail.
Careful degreasing, rinse, and dressing of all engine bay components. Improves appearance and makes future maintenance far easier to manage.
Straightforward pricing — no hidden add-ons, no surprises when you pick up the keys.
Real cars, real results. Here's what we've pulled off for New York clients this season.
Paint Correction + Ceramic Coating
This M3 came in with heavy swirl marks from a dealership prep wash and visible buffer trails on the hood. After a full decontamination and two-stage machine polish, we applied Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra. The owner drove out with paint better than the day it was delivered.
Full PPF Wrap
The client wanted full protection before the car saw a single mile of NYC road. We installed XPEL Ultimate Plus across the entire body, including door cups, rocker panels, and rear bumper. The film edges were tucked and heat-formed for an invisible finish.
Interior Restoration
Three years of daily use had left this Rover's interior with cracked leather bolsters, deep carpet staining, and a persistent pet odor. After steam extraction, leather repair, and ozone treatment, the cabin looked and smelled completely transformed. Client called it 'better than new.'
Don't take our word for it — hear from drivers who trusted Karosserie with their paint.
“I've had my 911 detailed at four different shops in New York over the years. Karosserie is the only one that actually measured my paint before polishing and showed me the before/after swirl removal under LED lighting. The ceramic coating has been on for 14 months and still sheets water perfectly.”
“Brought in my daily Tesla Model 3 for a full interior detail and a single-stage paint correction. The team was thorough, communicated every step, and finished on time. The paint looks better than it did off the lot. I've already referred three coworkers.”
Everything you need to know before booking your detail.
A complete detail including decontamination wash, paint correction, and ceramic coating application typically takes 2–3 days. The coating itself needs 12–24 hours of cure time in our controlled environment before the car is ready for pickup.
In most cases, yes. Ceramic coatings amplify the look of your paint — including any existing swirl marks and scratches. Applying a coating over uncorrected paint locks those defects in. We always inspect and recommend correction before any coating install.
With proper maintenance washes and annual decontamination, a professional-grade coating like Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra lasts 5+ years even on a daily driver exposed to NYC road salt, pollution, and hard water.
Paint Protection Film is a physical barrier — a urethane layer that absorbs rock chips and scratches before they reach your paint. Ceramic coating is a chemical bond to the clear coat that provides hydrophobic properties and UV resistance. Many clients use both: PPF on high-impact zones, ceramic coating over everything else.
We can detail and polish around damage, but we'll flag any chips, peeling, or rust before we start. Some conditions require touch-up paint or body shop work before a coating makes sense. We'll be upfront about what's worth doing and what isn't.
