Orlando's premium family-owned detailing studio. Ceramic coating, paint correction, PPF, window tint, vinyl wraps and full vehicle restoration — all under one roof, all done by the owners.
Apex Lab Autoworks was founded by two brothers in Maitland, Florida. We built this shop because we wanted to bring professional-grade results and honest communication to every single client — something the big shops rarely deliver.
When you book with us, you're talking directly with the owners. We inspect your vehicle ourselves, recommend only what you actually need, and deliver results that look as good in person as they do in photos.
We work on Porsche, Audi, trucks and daily drivers. Whatever you drive, it gets the same care.

Featured Case Study · 3-Month Restoration
1964 PORSCHE 356 SC
Full exterior restoration. From bare metal to factory-spec finish.
The car as it deserved to look.
Hand-buffed Slate Grey 6401 · Cromax by Axalta
A 1964 Porsche 356 SC arrived at our shop with failing original paint and bodywork carrying the scars of past accidents. The 356 SC was the last and most refined evolution of Porsche's first production sports car — an icon worth bringing back to its proper form.
Over three months we took the car down to bare metal, repaired every panel, and rebuilt the finish from the ground up — through an eleven-step process ending in a hand-buffed Slate Grey (Cromax by Axalta) finish color-matched to factory specification. Every dent, every flaw, every layer of compromised paint, gone.
What rolled out of the shop is the car as it deserved to look.

Come Meet Us
WE'D LOVE TO SEE YOUR VEHICLE
Stop by, call or send a message. You'll always talk directly with one of the owners — no front desk, no middlemen.
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your vehicle's paint, creating a durable protective layer that improves gloss, repels water and protects against UV damage. It can last 2 to 5 years or more depending on maintenance.
What is paint correction?
Paint correction is machine polishing to remove swirl marks, light scratches, haze and oxidation from your vehicle's paint. The result is restored clarity, depth and gloss — often done before applying ceramic coating.
