Matte has a reputation as hard to take care of — so why not let us do it for you? We were the first shop to ever offer matte detailing, after all. Our line of Dr. Beasley’s matte care products help us deliver a pristine clean with absolutely no change to the matte appearance. Leave it to the experts and let our technicians maintain your unique finish!
Simon’s founder James Lafeber and Dr. Beasley’s created the first products for matte finishes, engineered innovative nanotechnology protection, and revolutionized paintwork correction, taking the brand global and earning the recognition of OEMs like Audi, Rivian, Hyundai, Dodge, and others.
Now Simon’s uses exclusively Dr. Beasley’s detailing products and serves as their detailing studio.
I’ve been coming to Simon’s for a decade, religiously.
I’m very particular about many things in life and my vehicle, and once it looks that good it really makes my day. One of the joys of Simon’s is having known them so long, working with them for so long. I feel absolutely confident rolling in the car, dropping off the keys, being able to take off, and no fuss no muss. They’re fantastic, trust them implicitly, and they do a phenomenal job.
I feel like I have a relationship individually with everybody here.
So really friendly, family-like atmosphere. Very clean shop, very detailed, people are very kind, the area itself is very sterile. Couches are really comfortable, internet is great. So I just sit back and relax when they wash my car, and you know when I need a detail once or twice a year I pretty much drop the car off and it comes to me like it’s brand new.
With a whopping 15+ years under my belt here, I promise your car will be treated like family. After our Signature Detail, your ride will look even better than when it rolled off the showroom floor.

JOSE LUIS Detailing TechnicianThis is what people mean when they talk about “buffing out scratches”. Auto paint correction uses machines called polishers to level out scratches and other defects in the protective clear coat.
Depending on the severity of the defects and the softness of the paint, our paintwork technicians will use different combinations of buffing pads and correction products to address the defects to your satisfaction.
Thankfully no! Paint correction only levels out imperfections in the clear coat and does not require repainting. That being said, we do offer body shop services if a repainting is needed!
Not the way we correct paint! As Dr. Beasley’s detailing studio, we use the Nano Surface Primer system when correcting, which restores the clear coat with nanotechnology as defects are leveled out.
Adding a ceramic coating will lock in your newly perfect paint, add even more gloss to the finish, and will protect your paint for years to come.
Once the paint is corrected, an additional layer of durable protection should be applied to ensure the finish remains in the corrected condition. Ceramic coatings make the paint easier to clean, which reduces the amount of wash scratching introduced. Ceramic coatings also provide a sacrificial barrier against chemical etching from bird droppings and insects, as well as oxidation (color hazing) from the sun’s UV rays.
Absolutely — come to one of the Ales & Details workshops Dr. Beasley’s hosts at Simon’s and we’ll get you trained!
Absolutely — holograms and other defects caused by poor quality of work are unfortunately all to common, so we’re prepared to address any detailer’s mistakes.
Not necessarily! As long as you’re bringing the vehicle to a detailing center with matte care capabilities like Simon’s, things will be easy. And if you need to maintain the vehicle from home, we have all of the Dr. Beasley’s products we use in-house available in the waiting area — just ask the front desk staff for assistance.
Yes — matte vinyl is made of an entirely different material than matte clear coat. For this reason we use specific cleansers and protection products that are designed to work with vinyl and PPF. We use Dr. Beasley’s Film Cleanser for stain removal, which is glossy and matte compatible and is gentle enough not to harm the film or vinyl surface being addressed. For coating, we use Dr. Beasley’s Matte Film Coating, which is specifically designed to bond with vinyl material and adds additional UV protection to maximize the lifespan of the PPF.
Any detailing service or package we offer can be adapted for matte finishes! Special pricing will applied to account for the specialized products necessary to maintain the matte finish.

Our Matte Coating Maintenance service will make your coating perform like new again! This service will completely rejuvenate the coating and bring any water repellent properties back to 100%. We’ll use Dr. Beasley’s AdvanceCoat: Matte to reinforce high-impact areas, repair any weak spots in the coating, and completely bring the coating back to life.
Coatings require maintenance to stay durable and keep the Service Life Warranty valid — but that doesn’t mean it has to be hard. Become a Simon’s Member and automatically receive free coating maintenance visits (including washes) as part of your yearly subscription.
We apply Matte Paint Coating to the wheels, helping protect against impossible-to-remove brake dust and other road gunk.
Designed to bond with vinyl or paint protection film, Matte Film Coating has added UV protection to prevent the yellowing or fading often seen on wraps.
Have a bad stain on your matte finish? All is not lost. Our technicians have multiple methods for removing even the most stubborn spots.
For me, it’s either Simon’s detail or no detail.
