Ceramic coating in Shelby Township
What a coating is up against in Shelby Township.
A ceramic coating is a hard layer bonded to the clear coat. Whatever lands on the car lands on the coating first. Around here four things land on it, and each one comes off a coated panel more easily than off bare paint.
Salt on M-53, Hall Road and the mile roads
The county plows and salts state and primary roads first, and M-53 and Hall Road are both state highways. Subdivision streets come after. On bare clear coat that residue sits and works all winter. On a coated panel it is sitting on the coating, and it rinses off.
Sap under protected trees
Shelby Township is a Tree City USA community and regulates tree removal in its woodlands. Park under those trees and sap, pollen and bird droppings come down on the car. On a coated hood they are sitting on the coating, and they wipe off.
Freeway film from M-53 and M-59
M-53 is a freeway from 18 Mile Road north through the township, and M-59 is a freeway from Utica west to I-75. Miles at highway speed put bugs on the nose and a gray film down the doors. Coated paint lets go of both with a rinse and a gentle hand wash.
Trail dirt from Stony Creek and River Bends
Stony Creek has more than 14 miles of dirt mountain bike trail, and River Bends has natural surface trails with the Clinton River running through it. What the bikes, boots and dog pick up ends up down the sides of the car. On coated paint it rinses off. Wiping it off dry is how swirl marks start.
On the panel
Watch what water does.
On bare paint, water spreads out and sits. On coated paint it pulls into tight beads and rolls away, which is why a coated car stays cleaner between washes.
What you get
Three coating packages. One standard of work.
Every package includes paint correction before the coating, a written warranty, an aftercare guide and a free follow-up wash. The difference is how long the coating is built to last.
- The Refresh1 year
For leased vehicles, cars you will trade in soon, or a first coating.
- The Revival3 years
For the daily driver you plan to keep. The tier most Michigan owners land on.
- The Renewal5 years
For a new vehicle, a weekend car, or anything you intend to own for years.
- Glass, wheels and trim
Windshield, exterior glass, wheels and trim can be coated in the same visit.
Ceramic coating is quoted for your vehicle: its size, the condition of the paint and how much correction it needs all factor in.
From Shelby Township
The coating goes on at our shop. Three ways to get there.
Ceramic coating is applied indoors at 33115 Louise Ave in Clinton Township, where we control the lighting and the cure. That is about 13 miles from central Shelby Township. A simple route: Van Dyke Avenue south, Utica Road southeast to 14 Mile Road, then east on 14 Mile. The shop is on the north side, just east of Kelly Road.
Plan on the vehicle being with us for at least a full day, longer when the paint needs more correction. Drive it in yourself and your Uber is covered for the drop-off and the pickup. Or book pick-up and drop-off valet: we collect the vehicle from your home or work in Shelby Township and bring it back coated. Most coating customers who cannot spare the day go that way.

Refresh My Ride did a great job with my Yukon. After six years of regular car washes and me vacuuming it out, it was time for some extra attention and I now love my car again. They cleaned everything. I appreciate that they came to my house to pick up and return the car, so there was no real impact on my day. The ceramic coating looks great. Thank you!

I took my 2021 Ram 1500 to Refresh my ride for a complete detail including a 3 year ceramic coating. Josh and Ben did an amazing job. The truck looks like it did 5 years ago when I drove it off the lot. As the company name says, my ride is refreshed. …

Questions
Ceramic coating in Shelby Township: questions.
If yours is not here, call or text (586) 400-1303.
Can you apply a ceramic coating in my driveway in Shelby Township?
No. A coating has to go on in an enclosed bay, away from wind, dust and direct sun, and it cures in the shop before the vehicle goes back outside. Mobile visits are for detailing. For a coating, valet pickup brings the vehicle to the shop and back to your door.
How long will my vehicle be gone, and how do I get around?
At least a full day, and longer when the paint needs more correction. We give you an exact window when we quote your vehicle. On coating jobs your Uber is covered for the drop-off and the pickup. If you would rather not make the trip at all, ask for valet when you book.
Does a ceramic coating protect against road salt?
It keeps salt from sitting against bare clear coat, and it makes winter film much easier to rinse off the paint. Glass, wheels and trim can be coated in the same visit. It is not armor: it will not stop rock chips or a key scratch, and you still have to wash the car. Touchless washes are fine. Brush-style automatic washes put swirls in any finish.
What does ceramic coating cost?
We do not publish a price list for coatings, on purpose. The job is quoted per vehicle, because size, paint condition and how much correction it needs decide the work. Tell us what you drive and we will send a real number. Affirm and Klarna financing runs 3 to 24 months, as low as 0% interest, if you would rather spread it out.
