Quick turnaround for this Q5. 4 years of busy college scheduling kept it less than ideal.

Mechanical, and chemical decontamination was necessary to remove all of the dirt, grime, embedded contaminants in the clear coat, etc. Following that we did a quick one step polish to remove a majority of the damage that had been done to the paint surface, followed by a spray sealant.

On the interior there was a lot of contamination on all of the panels, deep in the carpets, and even stains into the leather and plastics. A deep clean usually involves using not only chemicals, but also combinations of steam, agitation, and a few other tricks.

Unfortunately with it being a quick turnaround I wasn't able to get any shots in the sunlight as I typically do, but you can get a general idea of how clean the paint is now.

I post a lot of sports cars, exotic cars, project cars, and the like. And while those are a big part of my work, I really enjoy restorations, preservations, and daily driven vehicles.

Cheers all!

Let's talk about dust. Brake dust in particular.

First it's important to know what brake dust is. Brake dust is metal, carbon, and often other composites, left from normal braking. These particles are inherently "sticky" and adhere to your caliper and wheel surfaces.

So for a metal image, think about taking a metal file, and shaving off tiny metal particles onto your beautiful kitchen table. Now take a cloth and rub it all off.

Cringe right? Just thinking about those little particles scratching your table is ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Similar concept. Those particles need to be lifted off the surface, with a lubricant, so they are no longer in contact with the paint.

So soap right?

Not exactly. Soaps often have degreasers, and similar chemicals which act differently. Wheel cleaners, iron removers, etc sort of break the "stick" and leave a layer of lubricant between the dust, and surface. That's why there is a wait time, so the chemicals can do their work. Once the chemicals have done their initial job, gentle, no pressure agitation, releases the last few stragglers clinging onto your wheels for dear life.

Once this process is complete, a gentle rinse will wash away a majority of these contaminants. Depending on your car, one pass may not be sufficient, and even a clay bar may be necessary to get any stubborn, embedded particles out.

Below you can see a very dirty wheel. I'm only posting the before, and during photos to illustrate the chemical cleaning. Notice how the cleaner isn't sudsing? There are small bubbles from the reaction of the chemical with the particles. It's literally breaking them apart. Zoom in and you can see them!

It's also important to note that every wheel is different, and every wheel experiences different levels of heat depending on your braking, different amounts of particles that come not just from the brakes, but also from outside environmental contaminants.

Taking a little extra time to address cleaning your wheels the proper way, will ensure a longer lifespan for the finish on your wheels, and the paint on your calipers, keeping them looking great.

Sometimes it's good to take a break from the crazy, and work on your own ride. I've been badgering my buddy Patrick to detail his M3 for a year. He finally gave in. There are few things as rewarding as getting to spend the day with a good friend, and fellow detailing professional, dialing in a rare 90s legend like this. Patrick's dreamt of owning an E36 for years. Proud of you dude, and thanks for spending the day with me. It was fun.

Overall , his car was in pretty good shape. A quick one step turned into a spot correction/preservation detail. That kind of detail is something Patrick and I both subscribe to. Taking out small imperfections and scratches, and then gently massage polishing the entire surface revealed what other issues may be there. This way Patrick has a plan of attack for how to continue to fix things on the car going forward.

Take time out of work, to do things you love with people you care about. Hilariously, what I love is also work. ๐Ÿคช

Cheers to you all.

Back in the 90s, the Nissan 300ZXTT was often overlooked. Make no mistake, these were technological marvels, with sleek lines, and powerful V6 engines. A future classic that can never be replaced.

A preservation level detail, with 2 layers of ceramic coating, following an extensive orange peel/leveling process, clearing up the surface. Leather and vinyl moisturizer, protectant, glass coating, wheel coating, brake coating, seal reconditioning and protection, and rock chip repair. Dual layer top coat for its upcoming road trip, and it's ready to go.

Cleaned, issues attentively addressed, and preserved it's time for her closeup!

When customers trust you, regardless of how one does business, there is a part of you that wants to do even more for them. After 4 years of daily driving, more modifications, and maintenance, this ISF was ready to be refreshed. After removing everything from the surfaces, in and out, went to work on deeply cleaning everything. Stain removal on the white seats, de clogging all the pores, and moisturizing them prepped for leather repair later on. Then I decontaminated all the exterior, including the front ppf. Yes, ppf can get clogged. This was followed by chip repair, scratch removal, and a fresh polish where necessary. Once everything is leveled, it was freshly coated with 2 stage ceramic coating, and top coat on everything. Ready for whatever winter throws at it, remaining protected, and free for the owner to enjoy.

Excuse the photos, the normal camera wasn't wanting to function today. New ones on the way ๐Ÿ‘.

Any detailing person can clean leather seats. However, there are correct, and incorrect, ways of doing it. Knowing which chemicals are harsher than others is key when dealing with older, worn, leather.

Lexus perforated leather for instance, can be very brittle over time. Their treatment process is one of the (few) ways Lexus cut corners. After a few years it's gone. A few more years left untreated and the leather dries out SUPER fast. After that you're just slowing down the inevitable.

Lower pile microfiber, gentle cleanser, and a soft brush will help you retain the integrity of the seat, while cleaning it thoroughly.

Long post alert.

This one is special. My long time friend, Andrew, has owned this 2001 Acura Integra Type R since new. As meticulous, careful, and I say this with love, paranoia, as he is with it, everything eventually needs extra care.

Being the car is all original, and completely stock, we elected to go with, what I call, a preservation detail.

This is something I've carefully thought through for two decades, and spent countless hours studying, learning, and practicing to perfect.

Short list of tasks:

Chemical decontamination
Wax removal and clear coat mechanical decontamination (there's more to this than most think)
Paint measurement
Leveling
Paint correction
Paint stress crack repair (not the same as scratch repair)
Micro paint touch up (needlepoint fill and level)
Ceramic coating
Headlight refresh and seal
Weather seal moisturization
Plastic scuff repair and protection
Carpet shampoo
Alcantara/suede restoration, fluff, and protect
Red stitch cleaning and refreshment
Wheel decontamination, cleaning and coating (off car, note everything lined up)
And so on. OCD took over so he got freebies in there too.

I decided to post far more of the progress than I typically do. Detailing isn't always about cleaning something quickly so it "looks good". This is a car owned by an enthusiast, a car lover, a passionate owner who will keep it forever. To him it's important to not only protect his dream car, it's also about preserving history.

I've been begging to get my hands on it for over 10 years, and it finally was the right time Please enjoy the photos this round. Working on this car meant as much to me as the car does to Andrew. Cheers my friend. Enjoy it.

Contact us anytime for detailing, and preservation of your vehicle. Whether it's a later model beauty, or a classic (I've worked on vintage Porsche and Corvettes for the majority of my 30 years of experience), I got you covered.

Buying a new car for yourself is a big investment.

๐Ÿš—โœจ Protect it with a FULL paint correction & ceramic coating. This stunning Lexus GSF had some serious issues from the previous detail. Fixing those issues now becomes extra important โœจ๐Ÿš—

A paint correction not only restores the paint finish but removes imperfections, swirl marks, and scratches, giving your vehicle a fresh, like-new look. When paired with a premium ceramic coating, you're adding layers of protection that repels dirt, water, and contaminants, keeping your car looking pristine while also making cleaning a breeze.

Investing in your car's appearance today ensures it stays in top condition for years to come. Donโ€™t just drive itโ€”protect it! ๐Ÿ’Ž

"My car was already detailed and ceramic coated"

Missed a spot my guy.

Forgot to touch up the paint too. Tsk tsk.

It's not the shop. It's not the product. It's the person doing the work. It's their knowledge base. It's their attention to detail. It's their experience. That's what you're paying for.

I will absolutely inspect anyone freshly detailed car for things just like this, and offer to fix them. This is just not to my standards so it needs to be corrected.
