Ceramic Coating in Johns Creek

The subdivisions off Medlock Bridge, State Bridge and McGinnis Ferry roads sit on large, wooded lots. Plenty of households run more cars than the garage holds, so at least one lives in the driveway under the trees. That car takes sap, pollen and bird droppings on the roof, hood and trunk lid continuously.

Those contaminants are acidic, and on a warm panel they start etching the clear coat within hours. This is the job chemical resistance is for. A coated panel gives you time to rinse the mess off before it bites, and the slick surface means much of it never bonds in the first place.

For a car that sleeps outside under canopy, we usually recommend the 5-year coating, because it is rated for stronger chemical resistance. A car that is garaged and only occasionally parked under trees can do well on the 18-month coating.

Georgia pollen season is heavy, and in Johns Creek the yellow layer arrives daily for weeks. Pollen is mildly abrasive and turns acidic once wet, so wiping it off a dry panel is the most common way owners swirl their own paint in March. A coated car rinses clean with water, which removes the temptation.

Johns Creek is the simplest drive we have: down 141, onto Peachtree Industrial and into the studio, about twenty minutes with no interstate. Most owners drive in and drop off. The coating cures indoors before handover, and the return date is confirmed at inspection.
