hen Jeff Lagasse gets done working on your car, it will look better than new. Guaranteed. Lagasse and his wife, Amy Sutton (who is a Realtor at SellState Realty), have owned Gen One Customs for four years. Gen One specializes in “paint correction” using ceramic coating from a company called System X Ceramic Protection. And Lagasse proudly points out that the quality of Gen One’s work is reflected in the final product, literally, with a shine so brilliant you can see yourself in it clearly and vividly. “The vehicle will speak for itself,” he said. “And it will bring friends of the owner through the door — we book 90 percent customer referrals.” When applied to a vehicle’s surface, whether it is a car, an SUV, a boat, a plane

or a motorcycle, System X creates a veritable layer of glass coating that not only makes it glisten, but also protects is from bugs, tree sap and bird waste, and also makes water roll right off. It is also UV-resistant, so the paint will not fade in the blazing Florida sun. Moreover, if the ceramic coating gets a scratch, it is easily repaired at Gen One. “This is a functional new surface on your vehicle,” Lagasse said. “This creates a gloss that you cannot create with any wax or polishing. The reflection is from real ceramic glass, which makes the surface appear more vivid and clear than the actual clear coat does, while at the same time fending off the elements.” When a customer takes a vehicle to Gen One, there is more involved in the paint correction process than just putting a new shine on it. The Gen One team removes all dents and
dings with their exclusive paintless dent removal company, New Image PDR (owned by Cody Claxton). Also, wheels are cleaned and ceramic coated, the interior — including all
