Detail BOSS owners Christian and Chris continue education with Jason Killmer of KXK Dynamics AKA “The SandMan”

Sanding paint isn’t for the faint of heart. One wrong stroke and you could go through the vehicle’s clearcoat, ruining it and compromising its originality if it needs to be resprayed. 

We attended Jason’s Killmer’s sanding course at Renny Doyle’s Detailing Success HQ, located in Big Bear, CA. Jason is known world-wide for his incredible sanding skills on world class automobiles; despite having cerebral palsy, Jason has mastered his craft and trains people across the country. During the course we learned the proper techniques to assess paint texture, what tools and skills are required to tackle tricky corners and seams, and of course the art of hand sanding to minimize paint texture for that perfect mirror finish we all know and love! 

We attend a number of continued education courses, seminars and webinars throughout each year. This allows us to continue to be industry leaders within the art of paint correction and other services we offer to our clientele. Until next time, happy detailing!

2004 Ferrari Challenge Stradale Signature Paint Correction High-End Detail

The Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale derives directly from the Ferrari 360 Modena with one thing in mind; the track. Ferrari gave the CS a hefty weight reduction of 110kg by removing anything that wasn't needed for functionality. With upgraded brakes, F1 gearbox and tweaked aerodynamics to increase down-force by 50%, is it any wonder these automobiles are not just beautiful, but a well sought-after, rare Italian machine. More photos and info on this exact car can be found here.

Our job was simple: bring the paint back to as close-to-new condition as possible. With 4 stages of paint correction, up to 90+% of all surface scratches were removed. The paint did contain a defect known as solvent-pop. This is the condition in which solvents from the preparation in the factory evaporate through the finished paint and cause tiny little pore impressions to form in the finish. This is common on older vehicles, especially early 2000 Porsches.

Post paint-correction, we rinsed the Stradale to rid the surface and nooks of any compounding or polishing dust that made its way into the can't-reach areas including jambs and engine compartment. After blowing-dry to minimize risk of scratching, we applied our 3 month sealant to enhance the gloss and color of the elegant Blu Tour de France, and really make the metallic flake pop!

Ceramic Pro 9H Glass Protective Coating Explained

Ceramic Pro is the trusted name in Ceramic Coatings. It's not just a glass coating, it's a ceramic coating with permanent bonding. Ceramic Pro 9H has above 9H scratch resistance, stands up to 2192 degrees Fahrenheit, is chemical resistant and super hydrophobic. It also adds extreme gloss and color enhancement and anti-graffiti properties. These claims and properties are all verified by SGS.

It has scratch resistance of 9H on pencil test. That doesn't mean that it the coating can't be scratched however that it has the hardness of 9H and even above 9H. The coating is a sacrificial layer to protect the paint so the paint isn't as susceptible to getting scratched as easily. It is multi layer-able so more layers can be added to build a thicker barrier and get even better protection. This is the hardest coating on the market today and if you get a scratch it will most likely be in the coating instead of destroying your paint.
