About Prestige Protective Films
Birmingham, MI is one of the most prestigious communities in the county. Nearly 300 boutiques, galleries, and restaurants line the downtown streets. Drivers here own BMW, Porsche, Tesla, and Mercedes that deserve real paint care. Basic wax does not hold up on vehicles at this level.
Prestige Protective Films is a locally owned auto care shop in Waterford Township, a short drive from downtown. We take a project-based approach. That means fewer cars at a time and full attention on yours from the first inspection to the final handoff. Your car is never rushed through our shop.
Our certified team applies nano-ceramic treatment using a multi-layer process inside a dust-free facility. The result is deep gloss, strong UV defense, and a hydrophobic surface that keeps your car cleaner and easier to maintain for years. Over 150 five-star reviews confirm that standard.

Want better gloss and easier washing without a long commitment? The 1-year coating is a simple first step for Birmingham owners. It adds shine and a water-shedding finish that keeps upkeep quick.
Key benefits:
Our longest option fits owners who plan to keep their vehicle for years. The 5-year coating focuses on deep gloss, long-term water repellency and warranty-backed durability, with proper care.
Key benefits:
The 3-year coating suits owners who want a tougher, longer-lasting finish. It brings stronger water beading and added UV defense, which helps paint stay deep, clean and glossy through Michigan sun.
Key benefits:
Most ceramic coating shops offer a single-layer spray and call it a day. At Prestige Protective Films, we follow a strict multi-stage process that starts with decontamination and correction long before any formula touches your car. Nano-ceramic bonds at the molecular level and creates a hardened, hydrophobic barrier built for Michigan roads, winters, and UV exposure.
This is not a temporary shine. The molecular bond resists road salt, pollen, tree sap, and chemical contaminants season after season. Your car stays glossier, cleaner, and easier to maintain with far less effort between washes.
We examine each panel under professional lighting using a paint thickness gauge. This identifies scratches, water etching, and oxidation. We then plan the exact correction level your car needs before any treatment begins.
We wash, clay bar, and iron-decontaminate each surface to remove embedded grime from daily downtown and Maple Road commutes. Our technicians then polish out swirl marks and defects using dual-action and rotary tools. A flawless base is essential for a strong molecular bond.
We apply the coating panel by panel inside our dust-free shop. Each layer gets the correct flash time before the next goes on. This takes trained hands, proper conditions, and real patience. It is not a spray-and-wipe process.
Your car stays in our facility during the initial cure phase. Once hardened, we inspect each panel under professional lighting for coverage, clarity, and adhesion. You collect your car with written warranty paperwork and a complete aftercare guide.
Our installers hold full certification for nano-ceramic application. Each job is backed by written warranty documentation handed to you at pickup. You get specialist-level service from trained professionals who follow strict standards on each car.

Faqs
Cost depends on vehicle size, paint condition and the package you choose. Larger vehicles and paint with more swirls need more time and material. We do not post one price for every car, so request a free itemized quote with your make and model, and we will explain each line of the total clearly for you.
Yes, it helps. Salt season runs from November through March on roads like Woodward and Maple, and salt and grime can cling to bare paint. A coating adds a slick layer that makes it harder for salt to bond and easier to rinse off. Regular washing still matters for coated paint, especially in winter months.
Wax sits on the surface and washes off in a few weeks, while ceramic coating cures into a longer-lasting layer. Our packages offer one, three or five years of protection. Coating also adds stronger gloss and water beading. Wax costs less, but you must reapply it often throughout the year. Ask us which fits.
Yes, correction comes first. Coating seals in whatever is under it, so swirls and light defects would stay visible for years. We inspect paint thickness, wash, clay and decontaminate, then polish to reduce defects. The amount of correction depends on your package and the condition of your paint today.
Most jobs take one to three days, and many owners collect their car in one to two days. Prep and correction take the most time, and the coating needs a short initial cure in our shop. We confirm your pickup day when you book, so you can plan your week, any rides and your daily commute around the visit.
Our ceramic coating packages offer one, three or five years of protection, so the answer depends on the option you pick. Your driving, parking and washing habits also affect the result. The 5-year package is warranty-backed, and we explain your coverage before any work begins on your car. Ask us anything first.
Yes, it suits new and luxury vehicles because fresh paint can be protected from day one. Coating adds deep gloss, easier washing and defense against sun and road grime. Documented care can also help show a well-kept vehicle at trade-in. We recommend a package that fits your car and your budget today.

At Prestige Protective Films in Birmingham, MI, we offer top choices for keeping your car’s paint looking new: Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Ceramic Coating. Understanding the benefits of each can help you make the best choice for your vehicle.
Also known as clear bra, Paint Protection Film is a thick, durable film that covers your car’s surface. It’s a strong layer that keeps the paint safe from scratches, chips from rocks, and other damages from the road. PPF is perfect for covering high-impact areas like the front bumper and hood, keeping your car looking fresh and new for longer.
Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that bonds with your car’s paint to create a hard, protective layer. It’s great for defending against environmental elements like sun damage and bird droppings. This coating makes your car’s surface water-resistant, so dirt and grime just slide right off, making cleaning your car easy and quick.
