About Us

A FAMILY SHOP THAT TREATS YOUR CAR LIKE OUR OWN

Apex Lab Autoworks was founded by two brothers in Maitland, Florida. We built this shop because we wanted to bring professional-grade results and honest communication to every single client — something the big shops rarely deliver.

When you book with us, you're talking directly with the owners. We inspect your vehicle ourselves, recommend only what you actually need, and deliver results that look as good in person as they do in photos.

We work on Porsche, Audi, trucks and daily drivers. Whatever you drive, it gets the same care.

Service Details

WHAT EACH SERVICE INCLUDES

💎 Ceramic Coating

Our ceramic coating process starts with a thorough decontamination and paint correction stage to ensure the coating bonds to a perfect surface. We then apply a professional-grade nano-ceramic formula that creates a permanent hydrophobic layer on your paint.

What you get:

  • Decontamination wash & clay bar
  • Paint correction (swirl removal)
  • Multi-layer ceramic application
  • 2–5 year protection depending on product
  • Easier washing & maintenance

🛡️ PPF — Paint Protection Film

Paint Protection Film is the most complete physical protection available for your vehicle's paint. We use precision-cut templates for your specific vehicle model to ensure seamless coverage with no visible edges.

What you get:

  • Self-healing urethane film
  • Rock chip & scratch protection
  • Invisible coverage on painted surfaces
  • Preserves original factory paint
  • Full front, partial or custom coverage

🎨 Paint Correction

Paint correction removes the defects that dull your paint's appearance — swirl marks from improper washing, haze from UV exposure, water spot etching, and fine scratches from daily use. The result is a finish with real depth and gloss.

What you get:

  • Single or multi-stage machine polish
  • Swirl mark & haze removal
  • Water spot & oxidation treatment
  • Restored gloss and paint depth
  • Pre-coating preparation if needed

🌑 Window Tint

We install premium automotive window film using precision pre-cut kits tailored to your vehicle's exact specifications. The result is a clean, bubble-free installation that looks factory and performs at the highest level.

Featured Case Study · 3-Month Restoration

1964 PORSCHE 356 SC

Full exterior restoration. From bare metal to factory-spec finish.

1964 Porsche 356 SC — final result, hand-buffed Slate Grey 6401

The car as it deserved to look.

Hand-buffed Slate Grey 6401 · Cromax by Axalta

A 1964 Porsche 356 SC arrived at our shop with failing original paint and bodywork carrying the scars of past accidents. The 356 SC was the last and most refined evolution of Porsche's first production sports car — an icon worth bringing back to its proper form.

Over three months we took the car down to bare metal, repaired every panel, and rebuilt the finish from the ground up — through an eleven-step process ending in a hand-buffed Slate Grey (Cromax by Axalta) finish color-matched to factory specification. Every dent, every flaw, every layer of compromised paint, gone.

What rolled out of the shop is the car as it deserved to look.

FAQ

COMMON QUESTIONS

What is ceramic coating?

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your vehicle's paint, creating a durable protective layer that improves gloss, repels water and protects against UV damage. It can last 2 to 5 years or more depending on maintenance.

What is paint correction?

Paint correction is machine polishing to remove swirl marks, light scratches, haze and oxidation from your vehicle's paint. The result is restored clarity, depth and gloss — often done before applying ceramic coating.
