Paint correction & ceramic coating for Shelby Township drivers

Our shop in Macomb is next door, about 10–20 minutes from most of Shelby Township. Swirl marks, water spots and dull paint, polished out by machine.

Shelby Township · Macomb County

Night watering, herons and freeway stones

Three local things that dull or mark paint, one a polish can’t fix, and a real Shelby Township fender.

  • Summer watering at night

    Shelby Township’s watering ordinance runs from May through October and pushes sprinklers on township water into the overnight hours. Cars parked near a lawn take the drift, and in the sun those drops leave hard rings. A wash takes off new rings; ones baked in all summer etch the clear coat, and that’s polish work.

  • Herons over Holland Ponds

    Holland Ponds, off Ryan Road, is known for its great blue heron rookery. A dropping left on the hood for a few days can leave a dull, etched outline in the clear coat. Shallow outlines polish out; deep ones may only fade, and the test spot shows which you have.

  • Unlimited wash clubs

    An unlimited wash membership makes a weekly trip through an automatic wash cheap. Each pass through worn cloth or reused rinse water can add fine scratches, and after a year they look like spider webs under a streetlight. That swirling sits in the top of the clear coat, where a one-step polish levels it.

  • Freeway rock chips

    Highway miles on the M-53 freeway throw up stones. A chip that goes through the paint can’t be polished out, and a ceramic coating won’t stop the next one. At the paint check, we’ll show you which marks will polish out and which won’t.

Two levels. With or without a coating.

Pick a level now or wait for the test spot. One-step suits light swirls and dull paint, two-step deeper swirls and scratches, and either can finish with a ceramic coating rated for about two years (a rating, not a warranty).

Getting to the shop

From Shelby Township to Macomb, MI

Shelby Township borders Macomb Township, so for most of the township the shop is about 10 to 20 minutes away. You’ll get the address in your booking confirmation.

Bring the car over and leave it with us. A one-step is a one-day job; a two-step correction takes one to two days, and longer with a coating, because a fresh coating needs time to cure.

FAQ

Shelby Township paint correction questions

Something else on your mind? Text us — Austin answers his own phone.

How close is the shop to Shelby Township?

Very close: Shelby Township borders Macomb Township, and the shop is about 10 to 20 minutes from most of the township.

Can you remove etching from bird droppings?

Light etching, yes: it sits in the top of the clear coat, and polishing levels it. Deep etching may only fade. We test a small area first, so you know what to expect before we do the whole car.

Will paint correction fix rock chips?

No. A rock chip takes paint off, and polishing can’t put it back. Chips need touch-up paint or a body shop. Correction is for the finish around them: swirls, light scratches, haze and water spots.
