 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Ruddick's did an amazing job on our car (see photos).  It got the ICON treatment on paint surfaces, ceramic on non-painted surfaces, and PPF on bottom door sills.  The pictures are taken after a down-poor on I-95 and the water and grime slid right off.  Couldn't be more pleased by the service provided by Jake and his team of professionals.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. TLDR: Incredible service from a professional team that looks out for their customer's best interests. This is THE place to go for detailing. I'll be recommending Ruddick's to all my friends for any future detailing they need.

I only recently bought my first new vehicle and really wanted to get it the best protection I could. Many coworkers recommended Ruddick's with glowing reviews and I can see why.

From the first call, Jake Ruddick was incredibly helpful. He took the time to explain the different options I could choose and how they offer different levels of protection. I learned a lot and we ended up going with Icon Rocklear to coat my 2024 Ford Bronco.
I had done previous research on Rocklear and seen mixed reviews. Jake laid it all out and helped me get better context for the product and their commitment to quality.

Before delivering my vehicle for coating, I discovered a pea sized lump under the paint on my vehicle. After getting it checked out by the dealership, I learned I'd need to get that panel repainted. I already had my appointment with Ruddick's scheduled and Jake was super accommodating. They were able to coat the entire vehicle excluding the affected panel and were willing to have me come back just to get that one panel done.

Once I got the panel repainted, Ruddick's reached back out to make to schedule the follow up. I think that shows just how great a business they got going. I had already paid in full and yet they were reaching out to make sure I got the full service. I think that really speaks to the quality on the cars they detail and their business overall!

Super satisfied overall. My Bronco looks stellar and Jake has been super helpful giving me tips on keeping it clean and what products to use. Their Silica Soap and Spray is fantastic! Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was nervous about getting my car coated and spending what I considered a lot of money on Icon Rocklear.  Rik explained everything to me and did not pressure me at all.  He and the team were very professional and responsive.  My car looks great, and I have confidence that it will continue to look great for many years to come.  No buyers remorse here.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ruddick's Detail did an awesome job on my BMW 530I. They tinted the windows and added ICON Rocklear coating to the exterior of the car. The exceptional shine is unbelievable and the pictures do not do it justice. The best part of the experience was their customer service. They were extremely professional and answered all my questions. I never once felt like they were trying to pressure me in purchasing their products. I would recommend Ruddick's Detail to anyone looking for great customer services and long lasting protection for their vehicle.  Thanks again Ruddick's Detail!

Why Choose Ruddick’s Detail in Mims?

Life in Mims means long drives. A trip to work in Titusville or across to Sanford on SR 46 puts the sun on the same side of the car for a long stretch, and many homes have no garage or shade at all. Rural roads add dust and grit. Drivers here mostly search for car detailing and window tint, and those are a good place to start.

Window tint for trucks and SUVs

Florida allows darker film behind the driver on multipurpose vehicles than on cars, so a pickup or SUV can go as low as 6% on the rear side and back glass. We install SunTek window film, including SunTek Evolve ceramic tint, which cuts heat and glare and blocks UV without interfering with phone or GPS signals. See our window tinting page for the film options.

Protection for country miles

Gravel and grit from rural roads chip the front of a vehicle. Clear SunTek or PURE paint protection film on the bumper, hood and mirrors takes the damage instead of the paint. A Feynlab ceramic coating makes dust and dried rain spots rinse off far more easily, and paint correction removes the swirl marks that build up from quick washes at home.

Florida tint limits

Driver and front passenger windows: at least 28% light transmission, at most 25% reflective.
Windows behind the driver: at least 15% on cars and 6% on SUVs, vans and trucks, at most 35% reflective.
Windshield: a transparent strip above the AS-1 line only.

These figures come from Florida Statutes 316.2952 to 316.2954.

About Mims

Mims is an unincorporated community in north Brevard County, just north of Titusville along the Indian River Lagoon. US-1 and I-95 run through it, and SR 46 heads west toward Sanford and Orlando.

The area is mostly homes and open land, quieter than the cities to the south, and it is a short drive to Titusville’s riverfront, the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Canaveral National Seashore.

Common Questions from Mims Drivers

How long is the drive from Mims to the shop?

About 40 minutes (30 miles). Go south through Titusville on I-95 or US-1, then east on SR 520 to 535 E Merritt Island Causeway.

Can I tint my truck darker than my car?

Yes, behind the driver. Florida allows 6% on the rear side and back windows of SUVs, vans and trucks, against 15% on cars. The front side windows must let at least 28% of light through on every vehicle.

What protects paint from rural road gravel?

Paint protection film. It is a clear, tough layer over the bumper, hood and mirrors that takes chips before the paint does. A ceramic coating adds gloss and easier washing but does not stop chips.

How do I book?

Call (321) 607-1606, Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, or use our contact page.
