Schuyler (Skylar) Ricketts works on every car himself, in a studio built for paint: hexagon lighting, digital paint gauges and infrared curing.
Under the Broadway oaks
Salida's Broadway has oak trees and a walking trail down its center, and parking under trees has a cost. Sap, pollen and bird droppings land on the paint, and in summer heat they bond fast. Bird droppings are acidic and can etch clear coat if left. Paint correction removes the etching, and a coating makes the next mess easier to lift.
Coating packages
After correction, Skylab offers three coatings. Ceramic Basic is one layer of GYEON Infinite for $1,000. Exclusive adds a top coat for $1,500. Revolution is Artdeshine nano graphene, rated for seven years and more, for $1,800. GYEON Infinite comes with a five-year warranty, and a $400 yearly top coat extends it for life.

Close to the studio
Because Salida sits right at Modesto's north edge, dropping the car off and picking it up is easy. Correction runs from one day for a Single-Step to four to six days for Multi-Step, and coatings take one to four days. Skylar does the work himself from start to finish. Ask about mobile service if you would rather not drive.
Questions
Can tree sap and bird droppings damage paint in Salida?
Yes, if they sit. In summer heat, bird droppings and sap bond to the clear coat and can etch it. Remove them soon with a quick detailer or a gentle wash. If etching has set in, a paint correction usually removes it.
Is Salida close to Skylab Ceramic Details?
Yes. Salida sits just north of Modesto off Highway 99, and the studio is at 1503 Lone Palm Ave in Modesto. Call (209) 871-7060 to book a time or ask about mobile service.
Which coating should a Salida driver choose after correction?
For most daily drivers, GYEON Infinite with a top coat (Exclusive, $1,500) is a sound balance. If you want the longest-rated option, Revolution graphene is $1,800. Ceramic Basic at $1,000 fits a tighter budget. Skylar will help you choose.
