Guys,

I recently purchased a used 2015 Z06 and would like to get a paint correction, clear bra and ceramic coating on the car. The car has less than 20k miles and has overall pretty good paint condition. It probably has a couple nicks that might go through the clear coat but is otherwise pretty good. I would like some thoughts and opinions regarding this and am looking for a quality shop to do the work. I am located roughly 100 miles South of Pittsburgh and don't mind travelling a little further to make sure it's done properly. Any thoughts regarding the matter?

Thanks

Esoteric is likely one of the best paint correction / protective film application shops in the country. It is in New Albany, Ohio - down by Columbus if that is not too far for you.

Esoteric has a ton of great videos too. If you can use them you should.

I'd grab some touch up paint as well so any detail shop can make the effort to clean up a few easy stone chips before applying the protective film.

I have first hand experience with Esoteric Fine Auto Detailing in New Albany, Ohio. They did stage 1 paint correction, Suntek film over the entire front end, rockers, side mirrors, and rear end followed by two coats of Kamikaze Miyabi SIO2 coating on my Camaro Zl1.

I second the comments of motodavid2000. The Esoteric shop is top notch. These guys really know what they're doing. They treated my car with the up most care the two times it spent more than a week in their shop.

If you can work out the logistics, It will be worth your while to take your car over to New Albany, Ohio.

Here's some photos of my car and their work.

I am leaning this direction too. Just picked up a 2016 Z with 30K miles. Weekend fun toy, mostly drive in the country. That is how I used my C6.

Anybody know of anyone in the Houston area that does this type of work

Thanks for all of the replies guys! I will definitely be in touch with Esoteric. I do really want the paint protected and ceramic coated to get that really good deep shine.

Hawk02, I really like that ZL1, it looks really good!

Rose Detailing in Carlisle,PA does excellent work with the XPEL coverings. I had my 2008 Z06 partially wrapped there and was happy with the work they did on my car. Some of my friends have had their cars done there also with great results. The phone number is 717-258-4000.
As far as getting a car with some miles on it wrapped is a personal decision. If it makes the owner feel more comfortable in protecting the paint on his car I would consider doing it.
