From A Focused Vision of Vehicle Care to 3,421+ Protected Vehicles: 20 Years of Automotive Excellence

Since 2005, I’ve had the greatest job in the world: helping vehicle owners love, protect, and better their vehicles…

20 years later, my incredible team and I, live that shared vision. Everyday we transform our shared passion for automobiles into NJ’s premier destination for paint protection film (PPF/Clear Bra), ceramic coatings, and paint correction.

With over 400+ five-star reviews and 3,421+ protected vehicles we prove our commitment to vehicle owners: making you love your vehicle again—we guarantee it.

This is our story…

The Unique Passion & Determination That Became Your Vehicle’s Best Protector

I fell in love with cars as a kid—the design, the power, the steering, the sound the potential in every detail. I grew up working on and racing them, but noticed most owners treated their vehicles carelessly. Beautiful finishes dulled or got damaged, pride faded, and the fun of ownership eventually disappeared. Quality protective options were limited and hard to find.

I knew my fellow vehicle owners and I always felt that “new car” excitement, and I believed there had to be a better way to keep that feeling alive.

In 2005, Signature Detailing New Jersey was founded with one mission: to help vehicle owners protect AND love their cars. We invested thousands of hours in training—mastering paint protection film (PPF/Clear Bra), ceramic coatings (Opti-Coat Pro, CQuartz Professional &Finest™), and paint correction. We know how to safeguard everything from daily drivers to exotic sports cars.

Today, that passion is the expertise that protects your vehicle and preserves the fun and excitement of ownership. Our expert team of fellow enthusiasts shares one belief: your vehicle deserves to be beautiful, protected, and fun to own. Protecting your vehicle is personal—it’s our passion.

Let us put that childlike smile back on your face.

Q: What services does Signature Detailing New Jersey offer?

A: Signature Detailing focuses on three core protection services:

(1) **Paint Protection Film (PPF/Clear Bra)**—physical impact protection against rock chips, scratches, door dings, parking lots, kids, and pets with self-healing properties;

(2) **Ceramic Coatings**—chemical and UV protection measures in years with extreme gloss, hydrophobic properties repel dirt and water from the surface, making vehicles fast and easy to clean;

(3) **Paint Correction**—permanent removal of surface defects, swirls, and mild to medium scratches. Paint correction restores surface gloss, vibrant colors, and reflective surfaces often for a better than new finish.

Q: Why did Greg Gellas start Signature Detailing New Jersey?

A: Greg founded Signature Detailing New Jersey in 2005 after years as an automotive enthusiast and weekend Honda racer. Growing up, he spent countles days around cars, later competing in NJ racing events. When he couldn’t find a detailing shop that combined technical expertise with genuine passion for vehicles, he created Signature Detailing NJ to fill that gap to cater to vehicle lovers of all sorts.

Today, after 20+ years and 3,421+ vehicles protected, Greg and Signature Detailing NJ’s mission remains the same: to help vehicle owners fall further in love with their vehicles while protecting their investment.

Q: What’s the difference between a ceramic coating and paint protection film?

A: PPF (Paint Protection Film) and ceramic coating serve drastically different protection purposes.

**PPF** provides physical impact protection—it stops rock chips, scratches, road debris, and door dings with a thick, self-healing urethane film. It’s best for high-impact areas like the front bumper, hood, fenders, and mirrors. Clear bra is best for any vehicle surface that is sensitive, receives regular wear and tear, or may be damaged by strong force.

**Ceramic coatings** provides chemical and UV protection with a hard glass-like layer that adds extreme gloss, hydrophobic properties (water beading), and easier cleaning. Ceramic coatings cannot stop rock chips or physical impact damage on vehicle surfaces.

Many vehicle owners combine the advantages of both technologies and choose **both**: PPF for vulnerable areas for impacts (full front end, rocker panels) then add a ceramic coating to all vehicle surfaces for complete protection and maximum shine. This combination delivers impact protection where needed plus easy maintenance everywhere.
