2015 Ram with the Longhorn Edition leather interior. It was covered in sunblock smudges and received a steam clean interior detail.
2006 Lexus after a multi step paint correction and ceramic coating. The goal was correction, gloss and protection. The paint was cut, polished,refined and then jeweled with a ceramic primer polish left to cure for 24 hours. It was then treated to three layers of ceramic coatings. A hard base layer for protection, topped with a different formulation for high gloss.
Going home between rain storms we have been having in Houston lately.
‘06 LS430 backing out of the MM time machine shop after paint correction and 3 layers of ceramic coatings. Well cared for and even so we discovered previously unknown repainted panels. This 14 year old car looks better than brand new, and this service is available for your daily driver as well. If your car is looking tired and you are considering a new car, call your local professional detailer and you may be surprised to learn what is possible with the latest detailing techniques.
Ceramic coatings are amazing products but it’s all about the prep before the coatings go down. Decontamination wash, iron removal, clay bar, protecting trim, panel wipes, hours and days spent cutting and polishing the clear coat. In this case I also laid down a gloss enhancing primer polish 24 hours before applying two different coatings to the paint. This 14 year old Lexus looks like it just rolled out of the showroom, and to be honest it looks way better than that!
Caution for detail geeks only: Cutting setup is wool and rotary with ACA 500 compound. Pads are Buff & Shine Uro-Wool 3” and 5” and Uro-Fiber 1”, machines are the Flex PE14 5”, PE8 3”, and Rupes Nano 1.” The steps after this will be foam pads and dual action polishers.
2006 Lexus LS430 is here for paint correction and ceramic coating. The car is well cared for and immaculate, and the owner brought it to me looking freshly detailed. THAT is how to do it folks! I can focus my time and efforts on detailing vs. clean up. That’s better value for the owner and more time for me to polish and coat vs. spending a lot of time in prep. It did get a full decontamination wash and had moderate iron contamination.
So long Airstream. Happy trails.
The Airstream’s roof was covered in lichens and perhaps barnacles! Working from a scaffold I was able to carefully clean the rooftop layer by layer.
The detail started with a two day decontamination wash. The first step was a boat hull cleaner to remove the various life forms attached to the trailer. The cleaning continued step by step until the surfaces were clean and ready to polish.
And now for something a little different! 2007 Airstream Safari camping trailer. It has been stored near the beach for many years and needs quite a bit to bring it back to a decent state.
Minivan wheels ready to roll, sealed with Carpro Hydro2 for protection, looks, and ease of maintenance.
