Beyond “Concourse” — True Show Car Prep

When most people hear “Concourse Preparation” in the detailing world, they picture a car cleaned down to every last detail—tire tread, valve stems, undercarriage, and more.

The truth is, the term gets tossed around far too often. One company’s so-called “concourse” service might barely go beyond another’s basic detail package. And while many assume that true show cars don’t need extensive cleaning, disassembly, or refinishing work, that’s rarely the case. Each vehicle has unique requirements, and each owner has different goals. That’s why there’s no universal checklist or one-size-fits-all price.

At Skylab Ceramic Details, we understand the difference between prepping a car for a local community event and preparing one for a world-class concourse like Cavallino or Pebble Beach, where professional judges examine every inch.

Reach out today, and let us create a tailor-made preparation plan that meets both your expectations and your car’s specific needs.

Flawless Finish with Expert Cut & Buff

Starting at $1,000

Our Cut & Buff service, also known as orange peel removal, is the art of flattening and leveling your vehicle’s paint surface to perfection. Much like the dimpled texture of an orange, factory finishes and even many repainted surfaces often have uneven peaks and valleys that scatter light and dull the shine. By carefully sanding and refining these imperfections, we achieve a true mirror-like finish that makes your vehicle look flawless from every angle.

This process isn’t just polishing — it’s precision work that requires major experience and expertise. Using advanced sanding and buffing techniques, we methodically remove only the amount of paint necessary to smooth the surface without compromising its integrity. The result is a deeper, glossier, and more professional look that makes classic cars, show cars, and even daily drivers stand out on a whole new level.
