The resort coast runs on vehicles that live outdoors in sun and salt spray. Ceramic IR tint, paint protection film, coatings and fleet work from our Holualoa shop.
The Kohala Coast is the island's resort corridor — Waikoloa Beach, Mauna Lani and Mauna Kea strung along the shoreline, all of it built across old lava flows. It is spectacular and it is about as hard on a vehicle as anywhere on the island: full sun with essentially no natural shade, salt spray off the water, and the Queen K running the length of it.
Vehicles here fall into two groups and both have the same problem. Residents and resort staff park outdoors all day in an environment that combines extreme UV with coastal salt air. Resort and activity fleets — shuttles, tour vans, rental vehicles — do the same thing but with far higher turnover and a customer sitting in the back. For a guest vehicle, a cabin that is not painfully hot at pickup is not a luxury, it is the product.
Ceramic window film does the most work here for the least money: it keeps interiors from being UV-cooked, which is what makes a three-year-old vehicle look five, and it makes the vehicle usable in the middle of the day. Beyond that, front-end paint protection film handles the Queen K, and a ceramic coating makes salt and vog film wash off without marking the paint. We handle single vehicles and fleets — for fleets we batch the work around your rotation so you are never short more vehicles than you can absorb.
