Driving you crazy?

If your paint looks worse every time the sun hits it, you're not imagining it. These are the four reasons people text me.

  • Spider webs and swirls every time the sun hits.
  • Tunnel wash trashed your gloss black. Again.
  • Spring revealed what Ohio winter salt did underneath.
  • Dealer "detailed" your car worse than before.

We fix paint. Only paint.

Other detailers do everything — interior, wheels, RVs, boats. We polish only paint.

One specialty: bringing your finish back to brand new. We come to your driveway, the owner does every car personally, we quote off your photo and stick to it.

Cerakote® system. Real products with manufacturer specs — not unbranded chemistry.

Done in 4–5 hours, end of day.

Three steps. No drop-off.

Simple, honest process. No phone calls. No back-and-forth.

3 promises I keep

🤝

Stunned-or-Free

Pay only after we walk around your car together. If the result doesn't make you stop and stare, you don't owe me a dollar.

14-day retouch

If holograms, swirls or any imperfection from my work shows up within 14 days, I come back and fix it. Free.

💧

Cerakote® performance

Essentials sealant first 3 months / Pro coating first 12 months. If water stops beading, I refresh free. That's on me, not the weather.
Proper care: hand wash or touchless only. Tunnel-brush washes kill any coating.

Serhii, owner of Saltbreaker Auto

Hi, I'm Serhii.

I started Saltbreaker because I got tired of watching my own car get trashed by tunnel washes and dealer "detailers" who cared more about turnover than paint.

I run this thing solo. Every car you see in my work is one I polished personally — no employees, no subcontractors, no rotating quality. I only do paint. I don't wash, I don't touch interiors, I don't sell you a $2,000 ceramic when a $349 polish is what you actually need.

Common questions.

Straight answers, no marketing fluff.

Different jobs. Tunnel washes remove dirt — that's it. Even the Platinum tier at Sgt. Clean ($53/mo with graphene) is a 2-week sealant sprayed during a 3-minute pass. It can't touch swirl marks, water spots, oxidation, or the dull haze that builds up after years of tunnel washing. A paint polish is a 3–5 hour hand process that mechanically removes the damaged layer of clearcoat and restores the paint underneath. Keep your tunnel membership for weekly maintenance — book a polish once or twice a year to undo the wear.
Single-stage polish removes about 0.5–1 micron of clearcoat. Factory clearcoat on most modern cars is 40–60 microns, so you can polish 20+ times in the car's lifetime before you'd run thin. I never over-polish — I only correct what's there. If a scratch is too deep and the only way to remove it would be cutting through clearcoat, I stop and tell you straight: this one needs paintwork, not polish. I won't risk burning through your finish to chase a single scratch.
Essentials Polish: 3–6 months of hydrophobic protection from Cerakote® Platinum Rapid sealant. Pro Coating: 1–2 years of real-world hydrophobic protection. After that, the finish stays smooth — you'd just lose the water-beading. One thing kills polish faster than anything: tunnel washes with brushes. Spinning brushes put swirl marks right back into freshly polished paint, sometimes after a single visit. Stick to touchless washes (jets + soap, no brushes) and the finish holds easily 6–12 months.
Send a photo. If single-stage polish won't fix it, I'll quote wet sand + compound for $200–300 extra. I'll only suggest it if it's actually needed.
Yes. Run your car through a drive-through touchless wash within 24 hours before our appointment. I only polish paint — washing isn't part of the service, the car needs to come clean so the polish works properly.
I check the forecast 24 hours ahead and reach out. We can reschedule. If you have garage space (full car length plus about 3 ft around it for me to move with the polisher), we can polish indoors regardless of weather — just let me know when you book.
Honest answer: depends on how you use the car. If you wash often and want easier maintenance for a year+, yes. If your car sits in a garage and you don't care about water beading, skip it. The polish itself is what brings the finish back.
Honest answer: no, and here's why. Ceramic bonds to a clean, corrected clearcoat. If we put it over swirls and micro-scratches, those defects get sealed under the coating for the next 1–2 years — you'd be locking in the bad finish. Even brand-new cars off the dealer lot need a light polish first: factory transport plus the dealer's pre-delivery wash leave micro-scratches that show up under direct sun. Polish first, ceramic second — that's the only way ceramic actually performs as advertised.
Yes, I work on Teslas. I know the soft clearcoat — I run lighter pads and finer polish on Tesla paint to avoid hazing. Not every detailer does.
