Think your car needs to be repainted? Think Again. Detailing to the Next Level

Does your paint look like this?

Clearcoat failure almost to the point of no return caused by improper washing techniques, lack of UV protection (lack of paint sealants/wax) and prolonged extreme exposure to the sun and heat.

Clearcoat failure almost to the point of no return caused by improper washing techniques, lack of UV protection (lack of paint sealants/wax) and prolonged extreme exposure to the sun and heat.

Sun damage is prevalent here in sunny Scottsdale Arizona; and exposure to the extreme heat and intensity of the sun can really damage your vehicle's paint if it isn't taken care of properly.

Although many times paint can be revived when it is in this state, just as many times it cannot. This Nissan Altima's hood was right on the cusp of needing to be repainted, we advised our client that we can get it looking 100% better, but there is a chance that the failure can come back within a couple of months due to the molecular damage that had already damaged the clear coat.

We took and compounded/polished the hood 4 steps to slough off the bulk of failed clearcoat, revealing the deep black shine that was underneath. Take a look below at the result.

Dirty, Filthy, Grimy, Brake Dusted Wheels: Clean Again!

Do you hate dirty wheels as much as we do? Wheels that are grimy from brake dust and road dirt can make even a clean vehicle look like a clunker. We decided to write up a short tutorial of our wheel and tire wash process to really deep clean the filthiest wheel so it turns out spotless. Below is a picture of the wheel of an Audi A4 that received a full exterior/interior detail from us.






Pretty nasty!



Here are the steps to our process:


1. Wet wheel/tire with water (We use triple deionized filtered water for a spot-free rinse).


2. Spray tire with tire cleaner (We prefer Westley's Bleach White).


3. Scrub tire ONLY with tire brush to loosen dirt and previous tire shine if applied.


4. Spray Wheel with wheel cleaner. In most cases we use Meguiar's Wheel Brightener diluted 4 parts water to 1 part product.

**NOTE** Meguiar's Wheel Brightener is safe on most factory and clear-coated wheels ONLY. Attempting to use this product on a bare aluminum/aluminum alloy wheel can result in marring to the point of permanent damage or where the wheels will have to be multistage polished back to their original state.

5. Use a boar's hair pastry brush to clean face of wheels (spokes/anything facing you, including the lip of the wheel).


6. We use SM Arnold's professional wheel brushes, both the large and small depending on the type of wheel to get in the wheel drum or split spoke wheels and also for caliper cleaning.


7. Rinse wheel and tire with water and dry wheel with a clean microfiber towel/compressed air.



Using these steps, the wheel in the picture prior turned out to be beautiful after all, minus a little curb rash!
