How we protect your vehicle

Detailing and Protection Services for Rockledge

Ceramic Coating Rockledge:

Feynlab ceramic coating for vehicle paint, applied at our Merritt Island shop, a short drive from Rockledge. It adds a glossy protective layer that helps paint resist UV fading and makes washing quicker.

Paint Correction Rockledge:

Paint correction for Rockledge cars removes swirl marks, water spots and light scratches by machine polishing the clear coat. It is the best start before a coating.

Window Tint Rockledge:

Window tint for Rockledge drivers: SunTek film that blocks UV, reduces heat build-up while the car sits in the sun and cuts glare on US-1 along the river.

Paint Protection Film Rockledge:

Paint protection film is a clear film over the paint that takes chips, scratches and bug splatter before the paint does. We install SunTek and PURE film for Rockledge customers, from partial front coverage to the whole car.

Windshield Protection Film Rockledge:

Windshield protection film for Rockledge drivers: a clear outer layer that takes stone chips from US-1 and I-95 before they reach the glass.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Car Care Close to Home for Rockledge

Close enough for an easy drop-off

From the middle of Rockledge it is about 11 minutes (5 miles) to our shop: north on US-1 along the river, then east on SR 520 over the causeway. That makes it easy to leave a car with us for a longer job like paint protection film or a full paint correction and coating. If you work in Cocoa or on Merritt Island, dropping the car off on the way in is often the simplest option.

Paint correction and ceramic coating

Many Rockledge cars sit under oak trees and in open driveways, collecting sap, pollen and water spots. Over time the clear coat picks up swirl marks and haze. Paint correction removes them by machine polishing in stages, and a Feynlab ceramic coating then locks in the gloss and makes the next wash easier. It is the combination most people are after when they want car detailing that lasts longer than a weekend.

PPF for the front end

US-1 and I-95 both run through Rockledge, and both throw up stones. Clear SunTek or PURE paint protection film on the bumper, hood and mirrors absorbs those chips. It is the right choice if the car is new or freshly painted and you want it to stay that way. If you mainly want gloss and easier washing, a coating on its own may be enough.

Tint and the law

SunTek window tint keeps the cabin cooler on summer afternoons. In Florida, front side windows have to let through at least 28% of visible light, with reflectance of 25% or less. Windows behind the driver can go to 15% on a car or 6% on an SUV, van or truck, with reflectance of 35% or less, and the windshield may only have a transparent strip above the AS-1 line (Florida Statutes 316.2952 to 316.2954). Contact us to talk through shades.

Serving Rockledge and Surrounding Areas

Ruddick’s Detail is based at 535 E Merritt Island Causeway, Merritt Island. From Rockledge, head north on US-1 or Fiske Boulevard into Cocoa and east over the Merritt Island Causeway (SR 520).

Rockledge sits on the Indian River, so cars get river humidity, sun and pollen most of the year. We offer paint correction, ceramic coating, paint protection film, color PPF, window tint and windshield protection film. Call (321) 607-1606 to book.

About Rockledge

Rockledge is one of the oldest cities in Brevard County, on the mainland along the Indian River just south of Cocoa. Rockledge Drive follows the river under old oak trees, and the city stretches west to I-95 and the edge of Viera.

US-1 and Fiske Boulevard are the main roads north toward Cocoa and the SR 520 causeway, which is the quickest way over to our shop on Merritt Island.

Rockledge Questions

About 11 minutes and 5 miles: north on US-1, then east on SR 520 to 535 E Merritt Island Causeway.

Usually, yes. A coating seals in whatever is under it, so swirls and light scratches are best polished out first. If the paint is new and clean, it may only need a light polish.

If you drive US-1 and I-95 often, or the car is new, film on the front end is worth considering. For mostly short local trips, a ceramic coating on its own may be enough.

Call (321) 607-1606, Monday to Friday 8 am to 6 pm, or message us through the contact page.
