Home / St. Paul
St. Paul drivers deal with everything Minnesota can throw at a car: brine-soaked winters on I-94 and I-35E, tight street parking on Grand and Summit, and tree-lined neighborhoods that drop sap and pollen all summer. QMD Detailing's indoor studio in New Brighton is a quick drive up I-35W or Highway 280 from most of the city, with Gtechniq ceramic coating, paint correction and full detailing done right.
St. Paul, MN
From Highland Park and Mac-Groveland to Como, St. Anthony Park and the East Side, St. Paul has some of the oldest, most tree-covered neighborhoods in the metro. That's great for curb appeal and tough on paint. Street-parked cars collect sap, bird droppings and pollen in summer, then sit in plowed salt and slush for months every winter.
Our studio at 833 3rd St SW #6 in New Brighton is roughly 15–20 minutes from most St. Paul neighborhoods, depending on where you start. That short drive gets you a dust-controlled, properly lit space where coatings can bond and cure the way the manufacturer intends, which isn't possible in a parking lot or on a city street.
Gtechniq Certified
As a Gtechniq-certified installer, we offer two coatings: a 1-year Gtechniq EXO v5 coating from $549 and a 5-year Gtechniq CSL coating from $749, priced by vehicle size. Both include decontamination, a paint prep wipe-down and a light machine polish. For St. Paul drivers, a coating means road salt, sap and bird droppings rinse off instead of etching into the clear coat, and winter washes take a fraction of the time.
Swirl & Scratch Removal
Automatic car washes and years of quick wipe-downs leave dark St. Paul paint covered in swirl marks that show up in every streetlight. We offer 1-step and 2-step machine polishing to remove swirls, haze and light scratches under controlled studio lighting. It's the foundation for a ceramic coating, because a coating seals in whatever is underneath it.

Inside & Out
Our Full Detail is a complete reset inside and out: a deep interior clean of carpets, upholstery, leather, glass and console, plus a hand wash, decontamination and protection outside. You can bring the vehicle to the New Brighton studio, or ask about mobile service at your St. Paul home or office. Mobile availability depends on your address and the schedule, so call or book online to confirm.

Yes. Street-parked cars take the most abuse from salt spray, plow slush, tree sap and bird droppings. A ceramic coating adds a hard, slick, chemical-resistant layer that makes these contaminants much easier to wash off before they damage the clear coat.
Ceramic coating and paint correction are studio-only services. They need a clean, dust-free, temperature-stable space with proper lighting to bond and cure correctly. Full detailing may be available as a mobile service, depending on your address.
