Solid Detailing

A 2023 Toyota 4Runner came in after the customer bought it used recently and wasn't happy with the state of the paint with fine scratches throughout plus deep isolated scratches here and there. We cleaned up the exterior, decontaminated the paint, did our level 2 minor paint correction with special attention to the deep scratches where we sanded them down to hide them, and finally added a layer of protection to set the foundation for maintenance going forward.

A truck we worked on a few months ago. We detailed this truck last December and after 9 months, it was ready for another thorough exterior detail. Due to acid rain/hard water buildup, we gave it a wash, clayed it, used an acid to break down the water spots, then gave the paint a light polish to further clean the paint and remove any minor marring from the clay bar and acid steps. Now this truck is looking new just like the customer wanted.

2023 Chevy Silverado Black Widow came to us with general light scratching and a lot of water spots. The owner wanted to bring out the shine and had interest in a ceramic coating. Due to the truck living outside and getting hit with hard irrigation water we suggested a paint sealant instead. After a cleaning, decontamination, acid treatment to remove stubborn water spots, a paint enhancement, paint sealant, and glass polish & water repellent, this truck is like a mirror. Black really does look great when done right and protected.

We got this WRX dialed in with a detail, light polishing, and our standard level ceramic. The black is popping like it should.

Matte finishes do need special care. They really aren't any harder to maintain but they do require more maintenance and it's highly recommended to protect as soon as possible and not with traditional glossy/gloss-adding products. The reason is - you can't fix much on matte finishes if something does happen. Any scratches or staining can't simply be buffed out. It will require a whole repaint of the panel(s). Not exactly something 99.9% of owners would prefer to do.
