Brand New Porsche GT3 Needed Some TLC!

Ever wonder why you see so many new cars at detail shops? Sure, they may be getting window tint, clear bra (paint protection film) or a Ceramic Coating, but more times than not, they actually need paint correction! Yes, paint correction when the car only has 30 miles on it!

What causes this?

Many times, vehicles come from the factory with paint imperfections; on Porsches we mainly see what are called ‘pigtails’ or sandmarks from after the car was painted and sanded. The marks left in the paint are from improper machine buffing techniques which did not remove them effectively.

Other flaws like swirl or spider web scratches are often times caused by the way the car is handled from the factory - to the dealership - to the owner. The vehicle may arrive to the dealership, only to be stripped of its plastic and ‘detailed’, which often leads to swirls/scratches being instilled in the finish due to their improper techniques.

After receiving our stage 2 paint correction, the gentian blue finish on this GT3 was absolutely GLOWING!

McCall's Motorworks Revival Event + The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering

The pinnacle of all things automobile, Monterrey Car Week has so many events for car enthusiasts it will make even the craziest car fanatic's head spin. Our mission during this week was to prepare and shine up all the rare, exotic and classic cars alike for the notorious McCall Motorworks Revival Event at the Monterrey Jet Center, and at The Quail. For Gordon McCall's event, we performed a little bit of everything with our team; from basic wipe and prep, to paint corrections, sealants and even coatings, these extraordinary vehicles looked spectacular for the main event in the evening. Aside from cars from Ferrari (both old and new), the new Ford GT, hypercars like the Koenigsegg and Porsche 918, there were also several aircraft that were flown in for the party. Gordon McCall puts on one hell of a show, and we along with the entire Gordon McCall Detailing Team would like to thank you Gordon for inviting us and being an awesome host!

After a night full of good food, cocktails, and rubbing shoulders with VIP's like John Hennessey and Camilo Pardo (the designer of the Ford GT), our next stop for the week was The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering.

Staged on the Quail Lodge fields, this show is the elite of the elite of high-end automobiles. Koenigseggs, Bugatti (both the Chiron and Veyrons were present), Concept One, Karma, Audi, Lamborghini, Ferrari, only begin to scratch the surface of the rare and phenomenal brands of eye-candy represented at this event.
