Ceramic Coating
in Westland, MI
Ceramic coating for Westland, about 12 minutes away in Plymouth. A slick, glass-like layer that sheds water and grime and protects paint from salt and sun.
Easy to wash, hard to dull.
A coating earns its keep on the cars that work hardest. For a Westland daily driver that means a commute in all weather, a winter of salt on Ford Road and Wayne Road, and not much time to wash it. Coated paint sheds most of that grime with a rinse and does not need wax to keep its shine. It also resists the bug acid, bird droppings and hard water spots that slowly dull an unprotected finish. Trucks and SUVs benefit as much as anything, because there is more paint to keep clean. Every job starts with a decontamination wash and clay bar so the coating bonds to bare, clean clear coat.

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.
Does ceramic coating stop rock chips?
No, and anyone who says it does is overselling. A coating protects against UV, chemicals, water spotting and grime, and it makes the paint far easier to keep clean. Stopping chips is a job for paint protection film, and the two work well together.
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.
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.
