Professional Clear Coatings in Ohio

Clear coatings, often referred to as clear coats or clear finishes, are transparent protective layers applied over the colored paint of your vehicle. They serve as a final layer of protection, enhancing the appearance and durability of the paintwork while providing additional resistance against environmental elements and physical damage. These coatings are typically composed of acrylic or polyurethane materials that cure to form a hard and glossy finish.

Our expertly applied clear coatings can help shield your vehicle’s underlying paint from UV radiation, oxidation, road debris, and other contaminants, thereby preventing premature fading, discoloration, and corrosion. They also contribute to your car's aesthetic appeal by imparting a deep, glossy shine and enhancing the color clarity of the paint. Overall, clear coatings play a crucial role in preserving and beautifying the exterior finish of your vehicle, ensuring it maintains its showroom-quality appearance for years to come.

Preserve and Enhance Your Vehicle's Paintwork

  • Protection

    Clear coatings offer robust protection against various environmental hazards, including UV radiation, oxidation, and contaminants like dirt and road debris. This protective layer helps prevent paint damage, fading, and corrosion, preserving your vehicle's aesthetic appeal and resale value.

  • Enhanced Gloss

    Professionally-applied clear coatings impart a deep, glossy shine to the vehicle's paintwork, enhancing its appearance and bringing out the vibrancy of the color. This glossy finish adds a luxurious touch to the car's exterior, giving it a showroom-quality look.

  • Durability

    These coatings are formulated to be highly durable, providing long-lasting protection for the paintwork. They create a tough, resilient barrier that can withstand everyday wear and tear, including scratches, scuffs, and abrasions, ensuring that the paint remains pristine over time.

  • Easy Maintenance

    Our clear coatings make maintenance and cleaning easier by repelling water, dirt, and other contaminants. Their smooth, hydrophobic surface allows dirt and grime to slide off more easily during washing, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and making it easier to maintain the vehicle's appearance.

Common Clear Coating Questions

  • How long does a clear coating last?

    A high-quality clear coating can last anywhere from one to five years or more with proper care. However, the lifespan of a clear coating varies depending on factors such as the quality of the coating, environmental conditions, and maintenance practices.
  • Can a clear coating be applied to any type of paint?

    Most clear coatings are compatible with factory paints and automotive finishes. However, it's essential to consult with a professional or check the product specifications to ensure compatibility with the specific type of paint on your vehicle. Certain specialty paints or finishes may require specific types of clear coatings for optimal results.
  • Does applying a clear coating require special preparation of the vehicle's paint surface?

    Yes, proper preparation of the vehicle's paint surface is crucial before applying a clear coating. This typically involves thorough cleaning, paint decontamination, and sometimes minor paint correction to ensure a smooth and blemish-free surface. Professional installers will often perform these preparation steps to ensure the best adhesion and finish of the clear coating.
  • Can a clear coating be removed or reapplied?

    Yes, clear coatings can be removed using specialized products or techniques if necessary. However, the process can be labor-intensive and may require professional assistance to avoid damaging the underlying paint. Once removed, a new clear coating can be reapplied to the vehicle's paint surface to restore protection and enhance its appearance.

I’ve had multiple vehicles serviced by Pickups Plus over the years and most recently had under coating protection applied to a new vehicle. They worked me in quickly and did an excellent job. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely be back!

Came in from out of town - offered a price matched on a tonneau cover, brought in a tech to do a last minute Saturday install, reviewed other products and pricing online during the install. Joey very attentive with great follow-up. I am watching a leak (a little more than normal) and hope that it slows down as the cover gets in the heat and settles. I will contact Joey as needed.

Pickups Plus Cars truly went above and beyond! From the flawless installation of new wheels on my Yukon to their quick thinking in providing black lug nuts when I forgot to get them, every aspect of my experience with them was exceptional. Their team's communication was outstanding, keeping me informed at every step and willing to accommodate my needs. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of automotive upgrades. Thank you, Pickups Plus Cars, for your professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction!
