New car prep

New car? Perfect shine… Flawless condition… New car smell and feel.

Some may think the perk of buying a newer model allows you to skip the process of detailing a new car because it doesn’t seem necessary. That’s what every car salesperson will tell you when buying a new car. We’re sorry to burst your bubble, but every new car has flaws regardless of how expensive the brand is. If you’re wondering, “Should I detail a new car?” Check out the pictures below.

Paint Correction

What is paint correction? Isn’t that same as quick buff? 

Removing paint imperfections using polish machines is the norm. Different polishing machines and techniques are used to bring out the color’s true shine and gloss. While customers frequently assume that the polishing technique is routine, each car is different and requires individualized attention. We have vast experience with a wide range of brands and an impressive portfolio of cars demonstrating the resulting perfection.

How many steps of paint correction will you do?

Our principle is “Less is More.” Contrast that with the marketing-driven message that “More is Better.” We operate differently and document your car’s journey in the shop. This is the best testimonial we can offer to our clients to prove that we are achieving the intended result within the established budget.

Paint Protection Film

Custom Installation with proper strategic disassemble procedure for cleaner and “less-seam” result

The work we’ve done on this particular GT3RS is different than others. Since this was a full car PPF project, we’ve taken the time to take things apart in order to have cleaner installs and to ensure wherever possible that the actual film is not even seen. Having said that, the headlights were out, all the aero components on the F bumper also came off and the Hood scoop came off. Now this would be the easy ones, but in order to get clean installs on the doors, we took the window moldings off, the mirrors and the door handles. Every screw was documented and we knew where everything went to be able to get everything back on the car, once the film installation was done.

 

Not every projects needs to be disassembled and we understand 

Now one might ask, was it worth it? Without a shadow of doubt, YES! Why? Because we always want to improve and be better at what we’re doing and this GT3RS is a testament that we will never stop improving and that chasing perfection is part of our DNA.

Question about the Factory Side Decal and the Rear Bumper Decal

We have questions all the time  about how the factory decal and factory stone guard will look like with PPF over it. We believe the pictures will do a much better job to explain.

Exquisite Service

The Porsche Rubber / Plastic Trim treatment

The rubber trim has always been a sore spot for a lot of Porsche owners and we have applied another Kamikaze Collection blend to protect it for the years to come. The light tunnel came in handy and has shone the way (pun intended) for us to get all the rubber and plastic trims taken care of.
