Halifax Winter Leaves More Than Dirt Behind.

After months of road salt, freeze-thaw cycles and wet coastal air, your vehicle can look clean while contamination remains embedded in paint, trim, wheel wells and fabric.

Salt Contamination

Road salt sits in hidden areas long after winter ends — especially around wheel wells, lower panels and trim edges. It slowly eats at finish layers.

02

Paint Dullness

Oxidation, water spots and micro-scratches reduce gloss and make your vehicle look older than it is — often 6–18 months ahead of its age.

03

Interior Residue

Moisture, salt and road grime get trapped in carpets, mats and fabric — creating stains and stale odors that build quietly over the season.

I'd been ignoring the salt damage on my X5 for two winters. Mars Detailing did a full paint correction and ceramic coating — the before/after was unreal.

They showed me what road salt had done under my wheel wells. Now I bring my truck in every spring. Best money I spend on my vehicle.

With proper maintenance, professional ceramic coating can last 2–5 years depending on the product, driving conditions and care routine. We provide a care guide and maintenance instructions with every application.
A 1-step correction targets lighter swirl marks and water spots. A 2–3 step correction is for deeper defects, heavier oxidation and paint that needs more serious restoration.
Yes. Ceramic coating locks in the condition of the paint. That's why proper preparation and at least a 1-step correction are essential before application — and why our ceramic package includes it.
All work is completed at the Prospect Road studio so we can control lighting, temperature and dust during correction and coating — all critical for a lasting finish.
Spring is our busiest season. Booking 1–2 weeks ahead is recommended. Summer and fall usually have faster availability.
Yes. Mars Detailing serves all of Halifax Regional Municipality — including Bedford, Dartmouth, Fall River, South End, Clayton Park, Hammonds Plains and nearby areas.
