Plymouth winters and your paint
Plymouth hosts its ice carving festival every January, which says a lot about the season. Months of cold, salt and slush are hard on a car's finish. Salt film dulls the paint, grit gets sprayed up the sides, and rock chips on the front end get worse as the winter road surface breaks up.
Two services help most here:
- Paint protection film on the front end, or the whole car, stops chips and keeps salt and grit off the paint.
- Ceramic coating makes salt film and road grime easier to rinse off between storms.
Summer parking downtown
Downtown Plymouth means street parking and open lots around Kellogg Park, Main Street and the summer events. Cars sit in the sun for hours. Ceramic window tint on the rear glass and a legal top strip on the front keeps the cabin cooler and protects the dashboard and seats from UV.
Commuting on M-14 and Ann Arbor Road
Plymouth sits along M-14, the route between Ann Arbor and Detroit's western suburbs, and Ann Arbor Road runs east to west across the area. Highway miles are where most rock chips happen. If your daily drive includes M-14 or I-275, full front PPF is worth a look.
