Ceramic Coating
in Novi, MI
Ceramic coating for Novi, about 15 minutes down I-275. Hand-applied nano-ceramic protection against road salt, UV and everything the freeway throws at your paint.
Winter-proof the finish.
A Novi winter means months of salt spray off I-96 and Grand River, and a white crust on every panel by the time you get home. On bare clear coat that film sits and works on the paint. On a coated car it has much less to grip, so most of it comes off with a rinse and the finish underneath stays sealed. Summer is the other half: a coating blocks UV fade and makes bug splatter from a highway run wipe away instead of etching in. If you also want rock chip protection, coating pairs well with paint protection film on the front end, and we do both under one roof.

Prep first, then the coating.
Ceramic coating is a liquid nano-ceramic that bonds to your clear coat and cures into a hard, slick, glass-like layer. Water and grime bead up and sheet off, washing takes a fraction of the effort, and the paint keeps a deep gloss while being shielded from UV fade, bird droppings, tree sap and road salt. We start with a decontamination wash and clay bar, do a light paint correction where the paint needs it, then apply the coating by hand, panel by panel, and let it cure indoors. It is protection measured in years, not the weeks you get from wax.
Ceramic Coating FAQ.
Do I still have to wash the car?
Yes, but it gets a lot easier. Dirt has a hard time sticking to a coated surface, so most of it rinses off and the rest comes away with a gentle hand wash. You can skip waxing altogether.
Does the paint need correcting first?
A coating locks in whatever is under it, so prep matters more than the product. Every car gets a decontamination wash and clay bar, and we do a light paint correction where the paint needs it before any coating goes on.
Will road salt hurt the coating?
Road salt is one of the reasons to get one. A coated car resists salt and brine far better than bare clear coat, and winter grime rinses off instead of baking on. Rinsing the car regularly through winter still helps.
