 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!

Car Care for West Melbourne Commuters

Built for I-95 miles

A lot of West Melbourne drivers are on I-95 every day, and the interstate is where most rock chips happen. A front-end package of paint protection film covers the bumper, hood and mirrors with clear SunTek or PURE film that takes the hit instead of the paint. Light marks in the film’s top coat fade with heat.

Parking in the sun

Office parks, the shopping centers along New Haven Avenue and Minton Road, and driveways with no shade all mean hours of direct sun. A Feynlab ceramic coating gives the paint a slick, glossy layer that helps it resist UV fading and makes bird droppings and tree sap easier to remove before they etch. Window tint handles the inside: SunTek film cuts heat and blocks the UV that fades and cracks dashboards and seats.

Paint that needs a refresh

If automatic car washes have left swirl marks, paint correction polishes them out of the clear coat. We do it before any coating or film, so the protection seals in a clean finish. If the car is leased, or you plan to sell it in a few years, film and a coating also help it go back with fewer chips and less fading.

The drive to our shop

We are at 535 E Merritt Island Causeway, about 40 minutes (27 miles) from West Melbourne. Take US-192 to I-95 north, leave at Fiske Boulevard (SR 519) and head east on SR 520 across the Indian River.

Tint limits in Florida

Rear side and back windows can be 15% on a car or 6% on an SUV, van or pickup, with up to 35% reflectance.

Protect Your West Melbourne Car From I-95 Rock Chips

About West Melbourne

West Melbourne is a city in southern Brevard County, just west of Melbourne, where US-192 (New Haven Avenue) meets I-95. Neighborhoods, shopping centers and business parks line New Haven Avenue and Minton Road, and City Hall sits on Minton Road.

For drivers here, the interstate is never far away, and neither are the rock chips and the hours of sun that come with it. That is why protection for the front end and the paint makes so much sense in West Melbourne.

West Melbourne Questions

How long is the drive from West Melbourne?

About 40 minutes and 27 miles. Take US-192 to I-95 north, then Fiske Boulevard and SR 520 east to 535 E Merritt Island Causeway.

Can paint protection film stop rock chips from I-95?

That is what it is for. The film is a clear urethane layer that absorbs small stones and road debris on the areas it covers. It does not make a car indestructible, and a large rock can still damage film and paint, but it prevents most of the small chips that pepper a bumper and hood.

How dark can my window tint be in Florida?

Front side windows: 28% or lighter. Behind the driver: 15% on cars, 6% on SUVs, vans and trucks. Windshield: a transparent strip above the AS-1 line only (Florida Statutes 316.2952 to 316.2954).
