3M Paint Defender | possible solution for florida love bug

3M has designed a product called 3M Paint Defender. A spray on clear film designed to last up to a year. Giving our situation in Florida with the seasonal love bugs… I don’t believe a full year is accomplish able? (Cars commuting at low miles may get that one year of protection) We have been testing this film, and so far… we are happy with what we’re seeing.

Do you have a track car…. Are you getting ready for a long road trip…. or just trying to save your paint through the love bug season????

This could answer all the above! We will be adding this as a service very soon!

The application process including “full prep” is around 16 hrs (2 days)

I will be adding another post in a few short days to come. We will add the durability and effectiveness, once we run this car through it’s complete testing.

Till then… Feel free to contact me with any questions. (Serious inquiries only)

Mustang GT500 correction and 22ple treatment

Here was a detail from a while back….. a GT500 Mustang that came in for 22PLE Treatment. The car required a decent amount of correction to the paint before laying glass coating. The Stang was thoroughly washed and decontaminated, masked off, polished out and treated with a semi permanent coating…. “22PLE” to the paint, wheels, metal and trim.

Aston Martin Vantage

This detail took place in the West Palm Beach area of Florida. A 15 hr detail, covering as much as could be covered in one shot. This car received a full interior detail and about 90% correction to the paint was achieved. The paint was a bit finicky in some areas but still came out looking great. No cool after shots or sun shots of this one as it was super late when the car was finished.

Lotus Esprit Final Goodbys

Its always sad to see a vehicle that has been cared for for so long go.

After almost five years of tending to this Lotus Esprit’s good looks…. Its come time to be passed on. Like most exotics, they get passed on from one privileged owner to the next. As far as myself “The Detailer of this car” It saddens me. This one will be leaving the state and may be a long time before I see it again. Before walking away from it and after one last detail, I grabbed some final pics to share!

Carbon Black Edition, Aston Martin DBS Correction

Recently had the pleasure of correcting this rather newish Aston Martin DBS carbon black edition! This was an exterior detail to remove scratches and swirls and some of the factory D/A wet sand rids. Yes, only some… the entire bonnet and front bumper is covered with clear film and thought it would be best to get a little more life out of it before removing it. The clear film did however need a bit of correction on it as well. Swissvax Shield Wax was the choice of protection in this detail!!! A great choice of wax for a car that gets used regularly! And “I must say”… It looks Phenomenal!!! The DBS also got some great protection to the convertible top! Overall time on this car was around 12 hours.

We presented two teaser shots of this detail a few weeks ago…. Better late than never for a car that has been re-born again!!! This Ferrari 599 came out better than anyone could have anticipated!

The car was delivered to a location in Miami where I would have the car for a total of 5 days to getting looking its best!
