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. Not familiar with the process of paint correction? Visit our easy to understand guide by clicking or tapping here.

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. We offer what we feel is the best not only in products we use, but tools, techniques and customer service to our clientele. With 14+ years of combined experience, training, continued educational programs, seminars, webinars, and events we attend, feel confident & comfortable that you are choosing an industry-leading brand.

Wheel and Caliper protection while enhancing finish

November 13, 2016

Everyone who has the slightest interest in cars understands that the wheel style can make or break the entire appearance of a vehicle. Why not enhance your wheels while adding superior protection?

We at Detail Boss believe and stress the importance of preventive maintenance. The application of Ceramic Pro, a protective coating that lasts much longer than traditional waxes and much more resistant to heat, can be beneficial when installed on wheels and calipers. The pros? Decreased brake-dust build up (yes, for you BMW and Mercedes peeps, this is a must), anti corrosive, and much easier to clean when they are looking a little dull! Aside from the protective factor, Ceramic Pro or ceramic/glass coatings in general enhance the look and finish of your wheels and calipers.

The difference in a Proper Interior Detail

October 24, 2016

Steam Cloth After: Dirt/Soil and Stains are heat transferred away from carpet

A proper interior detail is necessary if you're looking for a disinfected or sanitized vehicle interior. We achieve this through using various methods, one of which is the use of steam. Unlike conventional methods like "shampoo" which most detailing companies like to use, we use steam. The difference between using shampoo and steam is that shampoo injects a lot of water and moisture deep into your vehicle's carpet and seat padding. This exposes the risk of your vehicle developing mold or bacteria if the moisture is not extracted properly. The method of shampooing also stirs the dirt/debris in carpets and does not always remove the particles from the surface, but rather imbedds them.

After: Majority of Stains removed using steam to lift dirt from surface, leaving mat virtually dry to the touch after minutes of cleaning

Steam, on the contrary, kills bacteria due to high temperatures while lifting dirt and stains by the use of heat transfer onto a towel/cloth.

The Verdict?

Both steam and shampooing are methods to clean interiors. Shampoo runs the risk of excess moisture in your vehicle which can cause mold/mildew and odor development. This method also does not disinfect the surfaces like steam does. Steaming leaves the interior much more dry, lifts dirt and leaves a fresh neutral scent throughout the vehicle.

Until next time, happy detailing!
