On driveways in Monmouth County this year
Ceramic Coating, Car Detailing, Window Tint and Paint Protection Film, each priced upfront and quoted from your photos before we start.
Cooler cabin, no fading
From $299
Nano-ceramic film that rejects infrared heat with no metal in the construction, so nothing interferes with cell, GPS or keyless entry. We fit quality ceramic film rather than the cheap dyed kind, so it will not fade to purple the way a budget tint job does after a couple of New Jersey summers.
Blocks 99% of UVA and UVB
Our most-booked protection job
From $600
A hard, transparent polymer that bonds to your paint, so washing turns into a quick rinse. Salt, sap and UV sit on the coating instead of soaking into bare clear coat.
Skip the correction and every swirl mark gets sealed under the coating for years
Where most people start
From $199
We bring the van to your driveway. A two-bucket hand wash outside and a vacuum and wipe-down inside, priced by vehicle size. Clay bar and wax are $50 each when you want bonded contamination removed and protection on top.
Coupe $199 · Sedan $250 · SUV $299–$350
The only thing that stops a stone
Quoted per panel
About 8 mil of clear urethane over the panels that actually take chips: the bumper, the leading edge of the hood, the mirrors. A ceramic coating is chemistry, so it will not stop a rock. Film is a physical barrier, and it does.
The top coat is self-healing, so light marks close up with a bit of heat
Not just cars
Boat Detailing by quote
Marine Ceramic Coating from $150 per foot
A boat's finish is not the same as a car's paint. Gel coat is thicker, but it is also more porous, so when it finally gives out it does not just dull, it turns chalky. And that happens fast out here. A boat on a lift at Sea Bright or tied up in a slip on the Navesink sits outside around the clock, taking full sun every day and salt in the air every day of the year, not just for a few months like the road salt a car has to deal with.

Nothing to drop off
You are not booking the car in, arranging a lift home, or collecting it at six. The van turns up with its own water and power, and the work happens where the car already lives.
Photograph the car in daylight, inside and out, and send it over. We quote from that rather than guessing on the phone, so the price holds when we arrive.
Water and power come with us. We need a level space with room to open every door. A normal driveway is ideal.
That matters for coatings and film. They cure where they sit, instead of being driven home through road spray right after we finish.
We go round the car with you. Anything missed gets fixed then, not on a second visit.
What customers say
“I recently had my 2022 Camaro detailed and ceramic coated by Joe and his associates at 458 Exotics, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. … The paint looks absolutely amazing—deeper, glossier, and smoother than when I first bought the car.”
“Huge shoutout to Mike and Joe for detailing my QX56. … They even polished the headlights and got rid of all that cloudy residue, which made a huge difference. … I’ll definitely be using them again and plan to have them come monthly for washes.”
“Joe and his crew did a great job on my 2025 Porsche. I got the ceramic coating at my house in Marlboro, New Jersey. Team came right to my house. Very professional.”
“I liked that they came to my house and applied the coating at my house. Did not have to arrange to bring the car in, drop off etc. It takes about 4 hrs and then you let the vehicle set for 24 hrs. … This car is at the shore a lot so the coating also serves as extra protection.”
“I recently had my Ferrari detailed, and I couldn’t be more impressed! … The paint looks richer, the interior feels brand new, and the shine is absolutely stunning—better than when I first got it!”
“My car smelt like cigarettes due to previous owner being a smoker but whatever they used got the smell right out!! i am so so happy with the results, they are super reasonable with their pricing and come to the house which is convenient!”
Manalapan
458 Exotics is based at 345 US-9 on Route 9 in Manalapan Township, 07726. Mobile car detailing across the township from that base. No travel charge for a Manalapan address.
The township sits west of Marlboro on Route 9, Route 33 and Tennent Road. Cars here do highway miles all week. Route 9 and Route 33 leave tar, embedded brake dust and stone chips, then four months of road salt on top.
Most homes are single-family on quarter-acre lots or larger, built from the 1980s on, with long level driveways that work well for a mobile detail. Two-car garages are standard, but many households run three or more vehicles, so at least one car sits outside. Cars near the woods around Monmouth Battlefield State Park pick up sap and leaf tannin. Newer streets have little shade, so a driveway car takes full sun from June to August. Dash tops, door cards and rear parcel shelves go first. Ceramic Window Tint from $299 protects the interior. Ceramic Coating from $600 is for the paint after correction.
Englishtown sits inside the township. Same schedule, same prices. Basic cleaning starts at $199 for a coupe, $250 for a sedan, and $299–$350 for SUVs through large SUVs. Clay Bar and Wax are $50 each.

Photograph it in daylight, inside and out, and tell us what is bothering you. We come back with the right package and a number that holds. No call-out fee, no bait-and-switch.

Questions
Most full details take between 2 and 5 hours depending on the size and condition of the vehicle. Heavy pet hair, set-in stains or strong odours push it longer. We give you a realistic estimate up front, before we start, rather than discovering the problem halfway through and running over.
It bonds a hard, transparent polymer layer to your clear coat. Day to day that means water and dirt stop sticking, so washing is far quicker and safer. Over years it means UV, road salt, bird droppings and tree sap land on the coating rather than soaking into porous clear coat, so the paint underneath keeps its depth instead of oxidising.
Basic car cleaning starts at $199 for a coupe, $250 for a sedan, and $299–$350 for SUVs through large SUVs. Clay bar and wax are $50 each as add-ons. Ceramic coating starts at $600, ceramic window tint at $299, and Marine Ceramic Coating at $150 per foot. Boat Detailing is by quote. We quote from photos before you commit. No bait-and-switch and no surprise fees.
Yes. Mobile car detailing is how we work. We come to you across Monmouth County and into Middlesex, Mercer and Somerset, and we bring our own water and power. All we need is a level working space with room to walk around the vehicle and open every door. Nothing to drop off and no day lost arranging rides.
They solve different problems. Coating is chemistry. It resists etching and UV and makes the car dramatically easier to wash, but it will not stop a stone. Film is a physical urethane layer thick enough to absorb rock chips, usually fitted to the front end where chips actually land. Plenty of cars have both: film on the front, coating over everything including the film.
Yes. Hull cleaning, oxidation removal, mildew treatment, cabin cleaning and marine-grade ceramic coating, across the Monmouth County shore. We work at marinas, on lifts and on trailers. Boat Detailing is by quote. Marine Ceramic Coating starts at $150 per foot.
458 Exotics is run by Mike and Joe, two Marlboro locals. We are a two-person operation, which is why our weekly availability is genuinely limited. We would rather do fewer vehicles properly than rush more of them. You deal with the people doing the work, and we answer the phone ourselves.
April, for almost anything. Early summer is our busiest time, and June is the peak for ceramic coating and paint protection film. Book in spring and you get a better slot. The protection also goes on before the summer sun, not halfway through it.
Yes. The base is on Route 9 in Manalapan Township, at 345 US-9, 07726. Mike and Joe live in Marlboro, about ten minutes away. Hours are Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm, by appointment.
A lot of the newer Manalapan developments have limited mature shade, so a driveway car takes a full UV load from June to August. Paint fades, and the interior shows it first. Dash tops, door cards and rear parcel shelves go first. Ceramic window tint from $299 is the direct fix for the glass. Ceramic coating, from $600 after correction, is what handles the paint. Along the woods by Monmouth Battlefield State Park the problem flips to sap and leaf tannin.
Yes. Englishtown is a small borough surrounded by Manalapan Township. We serve it on the same schedule and the same prices as the rest of Manalapan. Basic cleaning starts at $199 for a coupe, $250 for a sedan, and $299–$350 for SUVs. There is no travel charge. We are based next door on Route 9.
