CONSUMER ALERT: Why You Can’t Trust “Top Rated” PPF & Ceramic Coating Lists in Allentown

Is that “Top Rated” list real? Probably not.

If you are searching for Ceramic Coating in Allentown or PPF in Lehigh Valley, you have likely seen a new set of “Top Rated” lists ranking local shops.

STOP. These lists are a trap.

We established Immaculate Paint Protection in 2018. Over the years, we have come to know the other real, hardworking detailers in the Lehigh Valley. We know them by name. But when we read these new lists, we noticed something alarming: The “shops” they listed don’t exist.

We believe in transparency, so we fact-checked the “Top Rated” lists currently circulating in Allentown. What we found was a network of ghost shops, fake names, and errors so bad they are almost funny.

1. The “Australia” Error: The Smoking Gun

The most obvious proof that these lists are fake comes from the “Top Rated Ceramic Coating Services” article currently ranking on Google.

It lists GlossPro Detailing as a “Top Lehigh Valley” shop.

The Problem? The address listed for this shop is 32/25 Trafalgar Road, Epping, Victoria 3076.
That is in Australia.

Unless you plan to ship your car across the Pacific Ocean for a ceramic coating, this suggestion is useless. It proves this “article” was likely written by a bot or scraped from the internet with zero human review.

2. The PPF List: A Directory of “Ghost” Shops

If the Australian listing wasn’t bad enough, the “Top PPF Installers” list is even worse. It is filled with businesses that simply do not exist.

It is easy to be “Number 1” when your competition is imaginary. To help you protect your wallet, we audited the specific names listed on these blogs against the Pennsylvania State Business Entity Search and Google Maps.

Here is what we found:

Business Name on List	Claimed Status	The Reality (Verified by Us)
Detail Masters of Lehigh Valley	Ranked “Top Shop”	❌ FAKE. No Google Maps listing. No website. No record in the PA State Business Database.
Lehigh Valley Wraps	Ranked “Top Shop”	❌ FAKE. Does not exist. Likely a made-up name to fill space on the list.
Elite Auto Detailers	Ranked “Top Shop”	❌ DEAD LINK. The link provided goes to a 404 error page. No shop exists at the claimed location.
AutoGuard PPF	Ranked “Top Shop”	⚠️ MISLEADING. There is no shop by this name. It appears to be a “sound-alike” name designed to confuse customers looking for real local shops.
Immaculate Paint Protection	Listed as 4.8 Stars	✅ REAL. (But they got our rating wrong. We are 5.0 Stars across hundreds of reviews.)

We fact-checked the “Top 10” list. Most of these businesses do not exist.

Why Are They Doing This?

Why would a “review site” invent fake shops?

Because the site isn’t a neutral reviewer. It is a marketing page owned by a competitor. By filling the “Top 10” list with fake companies and listing verified local shops (like us) with lowered ratings, they attempt to make themselves look like the only logical choice.

The Bottom Line

Don’t trust a blog post—even ours—without verifying it.

• Click the Map Pin: Does the shop actually exist on Google Maps?
• Check the Address: Is it a real shop, or is it a gas station, an empty lot… or in Australia?
• Look for the License: Real businesses are registered with the PA Department of State.

At Immaculate Paint Protection, we don’t need to invent fake lists to look good. We let our work—and our real, verified 5-star reviews—do the talking.
