Ceramic Coating for
Blaine Drivers

Salt air is relentless in Blaine. The marina, Drayton Harbor and the Semiahmoo shoreline put airborne chloride on every vehicle parked outdoors, and it does not need road salt or a storm to do damage — it settles continuously and draws moisture out of the air onto the paint surface. Chloride sitting on unprotected clear coat under constant humidity is how oxidation and corrosion actually start.

Border traffic adds the second layer. Idling queues at the Peace Arch and Pacific Highway crossings coat vehicles in exhaust film and brake dust, which bonds to paint and is exactly what clay bar decontamination exists to remove. Vehicles that sit in border lines several times a week accumulate contamination faster than any other driving pattern we see in the county.
