Defend your vehicle against Lake County salt spray and highway grit with studio-grade XPEL, installed by certified experts near Mentor
If you’re in Mentor and want your paint to stay sharp through Lake County winters, a controlled install makes the difference. Our ceramic coating work is completed in our Cleveland studio—clean, bright, and set up for precise prep and consistent results. You’ll get a finish that’s easier to wash after salt, slush, and daily highway miles—without the “parking-lot install” variables.
Shields paint from sun oxidation and fading
Water beads and sheets off effortlessly
Resists staining from salt, bugs, and sap
Deep, mirror-like shine that lasts
Contaminants release with minimal effort
Years of protection from a single application
Between lake-effect salt, frequent freeze-thaw grime, and the OH-2/I-90 corridor, Mentor vehicles get dirty fast—and the paint pays for it. A properly installed ceramic coating adds a slick, hydrophobic top layer that reduces bonding, keeps gloss looking tighter between washes, and makes safe maintenance simpler. It’s not a rock-chip shield (that’s PPF), but it is a major upgrade for staying cleaner and protecting the finish you already have.
Outcomes to highlight (bullets):
Rock chips on I-90/OH-2? Consider PPF: Mentor PPF • Heat & glare control: Mentor Window Tint
Thorough inspection for defects and contamination.
Most Mentor clients run OH-2 or I-90 west to I-271 south, then connect toward Miles Rd; I-480 can be a useful connector depending on traffic and your starting point. We’re appointment-only so your vehicle has dedicated bay time for surface prep, coating installation, and controlled curing.

Yes. Ceramic makes the surface slicker so salt film and fine grit rinse off more easily, which helps reduce aggressive scrubbing that can add wash marring. You still want regular rinses in winter and after beach days.
XPEL Fusion Plus is our 5-year ceramic system; Fusion Plus Premium is our 8-year option. Longevity depends on maintenance habits, storage, and mileage—but both are designed for long-term protection beyond wax or sealants.
We start with thorough wash/decon and surface prep, then a paint prep and enhancement polish to refine the finish before coating. If you want deeper defect removal, optional multi-step correction available as an upgrade after inspection.
Use regular rinses and a proper hand wash with pH-neutral soap, prioritizing lower panels, wheel faces, and behind wheels. The coating helps grime release, but winter brine still needs routine removal to keep the finish looking sharp.
