Star Platinum Auto Detailing San Diego operates a detailing studio in the Kensington section of Normal Heights, working from Meade Avenue in the 92116 ZIP. The service lineup covers multi-stage paint correction, ceramic coating application, and full interior restoration across sedans, SUVs, and trucks. Paint correction starts with a clay-bar decontamination pass that strips embedded contaminants from the clear coat, followed by machine polishing through cutting and finishing compound stages to remove swirl marks, buffer trails, and oxidation. Vehicles arriving after collision repair and fresh paint from Classic Collision go through the same multi-step correction sequence to level orange peel and restore optical clarity before any coating is applied. Ceramic coating packages layer SiO2-based formulas over the corrected surface, producing a hydrophobic shell rated to resist UV degradation, bird-drop etching, and water spotting for 12 to 36 months depending on product tier. Interior work includes hot-water extraction of cloth upholstery and carpet, leather conditioning with pH-neutral protectant, and plastic trim restoration using UV-blocking dressings. The Meade Avenue location sits one block south of Adams Avenue, the primary commercial corridor through Normal Heights. Engine bay cleaning uses a steam lance and citrus-based degreaser to strip oil film from valve covers, intake manifolds, and wire looms — a cosmetic finishing step that pairs with the mechanical service at Smitty's Service farther west on Adams Avenue. Wheel-face polishing and exhaust-tip restoration complete the full exterior program.
