For Highway 6 Commuters and Country Roads
From Waterdown and the rest of Flamborough, it is a straightforward drive to our Ancaster studio for window tint, wraps, ceramic coating, PPF and detailing. Reach us on a weekday to set an appointment, then drop the car off.
Flamborough mixes town streets in Waterdown with a lot of rural road. That mix is hard on paint in two different ways, and the right protection covers both.
Protection for Town and Country Driving
Paint Protection Film
Clear film against stones kicked up on Highway 6 and gravel shoulders.
Precision Detailing
Interior and exterior detailing for cars that see farm roads and mud season.
Paint Correction
Polishes out the fine scratches dust leaves when it is wiped off dry.
What Flamborough Driving Does to a Car
Highways 5 and 6
Dundas Street, the former Highway 5, runs east through Waterdown. Highway 6 runs north from Highway 403 to Clappison's Corners at Dundas Street and carries on toward Guelph. Both carry heavy traffic, and highway speed means chips on the bumper, hood and mirrors.
Rural roads
Much of Flamborough is countryside. Rural roads put more dust and grit on a car, and wiping that dust off dry is how a lot of fine scratches start.
Winter
Waterdown's town streets are maintained by the City of Hamilton. Highway 6 belongs to the province, and the Ministry of Transportation says it can spray anti-icing liquid on highways before a storm, on top of plowing, salting and sanding (ontario.ca).
Our road salt guide explains why the lower panels need the most attention.
Common Questions
Is Waterdown part of Hamilton?
Yes. Waterdown is in Flamborough, which became part of the City of Hamilton in the 2001 amalgamation.
I drive rural roads in Flamborough. What should I protect?
Rural roads throw up more dust, grit and the odd stone at lower speeds. Front-end paint protection film handles the stones, and a coating makes the dust easier to wash off.
Can fleet vehicles be picked up from Waterdown?
Pickup is offered for fleet accounts. Tell us where your vehicles are based when you request a fleet quote.
