Is a coating worth it on a car I just bought used?

It can be, once the paint has been corrected. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so a used car's swirls and light scratches are polished out first, and the coating then makes the corrected paint easier to wash.

Light scratches and swirls come out with correction. Deep scratches that go through to the primer or metal need a body shop, and at the assessment we tell you which kind your car has.

What happens to a used car's paint before the coating goes on?

It is assessed, washed, decontaminated and, if needed, corrected, in that order, and only then coated. The prep is most of the job, and it is the part a coating cannot make up for.

  1. Assessment: we inspect the paint and tell you whether it needs correction.
  2. Wash and decontamination: a hand wash, foam cannon treatment and clay bar lift brake dust, tar and industrial fallout.
  3. Correction, if needed: polishers remove swirls, scratches, water spots and oxidation in multiple stages.
  4. Coating: applied to the corrected paint.
  5. Final inspection under show lighting before you pick the car up.

How do I get from West Bloomfield to the shop?

Take Orchard Lake Road south to I-696, then I-696 east to I-75. Orchard Lake Road runs north–south through the middle of the township and meets I-696 at exit 5, in Farmington Hills.

Follow I-696 to exit 18, its interchange with I-75, and take I-75 north to exit 65, 14 Mile Road. Our shop is at 436 E 14 Mile Rd, Madison Heights, MI 48071. Use a map app for current ramps and the final turns.

How long will the car be away?

Correction and coating together can take 3 days or more, so plan a drop-off and a pickup. West Bloomfield is about 14 miles away, and the car stays inside our shop, which is climate-controlled (heated and cooled), insured, and gated with an alarm.

A car whose paint needs no correction is the short end of that range. We tell you which it is when we assess the paint.

What should I do after I pick the car up?

Do not wash it for 7 days, then wash it with pH-neutral car shampoo. Keep harsh chemicals and automatic car washes away from it.

  • Use a ceramic booster spray every 3 to 4 months to keep the coating performing.
  • Book an annual maintenance detail to extend the coating's life.
  • Condition leather every 3 to 6 months, since the paint coating does not cover the cabin.

What does a coating not do?

It does not stop physical damage. A coating does not stop rock chips or similar impacts, and paint protection film is what absorbs them.

Many customers use both, with the coating over the film. Our page on paint protection film in West Bloomfield covers the film side.
