Good to know in Houston

Houston’s sun, hard water and lovebugs are tough on paint. A coating makes bugs and water spots easier to remove. It does not stop rock chips or scratches, so it is not a replacement for paint protection film.

Coating warranties usually need a yearly inspection by a certified installer, and you should keep your install paperwork. No state license is needed for coating work.
