Scottsdale AZ: Ferrari 458 brought to a deep, mirror, show car finish after paint polish and ceramic paint protection coating

May 5, 2017

Now and then a vehicle arrives to us that completely blows our minds when its complete. This is what drives us in our pursuit of high quality and unmatched results. This Ferrari 458 came to us with heavy scratches, swirls, and imperfections from improper care. While not perfect, we achieved approximately 90% perfection with our Stage 2 paint correction.

This Italian stallion also received a full front paint protection film to protect against rock chips from highway and daily driving. We offer XPEL Ultimate as well as Suntek Ultra, both which carry a 10 year warranty against cracking and yellowing. I want paint protection film, take me there now!

Furthermore, the 458 Italia also received our 5 Year Warranted ceramic coating by Ceramic Pro. This offers a 2 layer system in which the first layer applied adds chemical and scratch resistance. The top layer provides a super slick, high-gloss, hydrophobic shield that adds UV protection, not to mention makes cleaning a breeze. Not only are these properties beneficial for ease of cleaning and low maintenance, but even sweeter, having a ceramic coating applied to your vehicle eliminates the need to ever wax it again!

Paint correction specialists and ceramic coatings are not all equal. It is dependent upon detailers' individual skill level, expertise, and attention to detail which determines the final outcome of the results, along with the products they choose to offer. We at Detail Boss are known for our expertise in paint correction and extensive experience with clear coat and installing ceramic coatings.

2011 Porsche GT3 Ceramic Pro Treatment AZ

November 14, 2014

A 2011 Porsche GT3 with 7,700 miles doesn't sound like it needs much. Upon our initial assessment, it needed paint correction. Speaking with the client when he brought it in for its makeover, he decided he wanted the car not only completely transformed after we corrected it; he wanted it protected and to have a reflection like no one's ever seen on white paint before.

First we washed, clayed, and prepped the surface prior to compounding and polishing the paint. We masked off all trim and rubber with low-tack painters' tape to ensure no damage was done to these delicate areas. We then proceeded to compound and polish the paint with our Deluxe Stage II package, yielding around 90+% perfection on this car.

After the first heavy compounding step of correction, already almost blemish-free!

We also applied our 6+ month permanent tire shine (coating) that keeps tires looking clean and shiny no matter what you drive through. After you wash the vehicle, the tires are still as if it just left our shop. What's the best part besides your tires always looking great? NO SLING!

Permanent-tire shine that lasts 6+ months. No sling. Beautiful shine

The wheels were coated as well. This drastically cuts down on brake dust and dirt that adheres to wheels, especially when a car like Porsche has soft brake pads and dust very quickly. This not only keeps wheels cleaner, longer and protects them from corrosion; it makes clean-up as easy as rinsing your wheels off with water.

Finally, our 3-5 year glass coating by Ceramic Pro was applied to all painted surfaces. This adds extreme slickness, as well as a deep reflective shine to the paint. Aside from the cosmetic benefits; this coating has 100% UV protection, makes the surface extremely hydrophobic and adds scratch resistant properties. Bugs, tar, mud, gum, and sap can be wiped off with ease if they latch on the surface.

We finished up this gorgeous GT3 with our express interior just to spruce up the inside a bit.

The client literally came to pick his car up and said, "wow, my car doesn't even look real anymore". He could not believe his white Porsche could have a shine and reflection better than most people's dark colored cars.
