Straight answers
What is the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?
Paint Protection Film is a transparent urethane layer designed to absorb rock chips, scratches, and road debris. Ceramic coating bonds to the finish to improve gloss, chemical resistance, UV protection, and ease of maintenance. Many vehicles benefit from using both together.
How long do Nikola protection services last?
Selected Paint Protection Film installations include manufacturer-backed coverage for up to 10 years. Nikola ceramic coating systems offer protection options lasting 7 years or longer when properly maintained. Ceramic window tint includes a lifetime manufacturer warranty on qualifying installations.
Does Nikola offer mobile detailing in Northern Virginia?
Yes. Nikola provides equipped mobile detailing for homes, offices, fleets, hangars, and commercial locations across Sterling and surrounding Northern Virginia communities. Services that require controlled installation conditions may be recommended for the Sterling studio.
Does Nikola work on luxury, exotic, and electric vehicles?
Yes. Nikola regularly services luxury, exotic, performance, collector, and electric vehicles, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Tesla models.
What happens at the free consultation?
Nikola looks at the vehicle, asks how it is driven and stored, and explains the useful options with expected results, warranty, timing, and investment. You receive a clear written recommendation, and nothing is scheduled until you approve it.
How much does professional detailing and protection cost?
Nikola core detailing starts at $135, a complete interior and exterior detail starts at $295, and ceramic protection starts at $695. Vehicle size and condition affect the final investment. PPF, tint, wraps, and paint correction are quoted after inspection so coverage, preparation, warranty, and timing are clear before work begins.
Where is Nikola located and when are you open?
The studio is at 23541 Pebble Run Pl #115, Sterling, VA 20166—Monday through Sunday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, by appointment. The mobile unit covers Northern Virginia from Sterling through Tysons Corner and greater Loudoun and Fairfax Counties.
Is my vehicle insured while in Nikola's care?
Yes. Nikola Professional Detailing is fully insured, BBB accredited, and works by appointment so vehicles are never left unattended in a queue. Insurance documentation is available on request.
