Detail Boss Interview with Auto Deets
Every year we have the opportunity to detail extraordinary creations made by Memory Lane Auto Brokers. This year for Scottsdale's Barrett Jackson was no exception. 9 Custom Classics and 2 Automobilia received anywhere from our Deluxe Stage 2 Paint Correction, to our finest Concours Detail. The list of cars are as follows:
1967 Ford Mustang Trailer 1974 Volkswagen Thing 1956 Cadillac Hearse 1968 Dodge Charger 1973 Volkswagen Thing 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Blown 1956 Ford F-100 Pick-up 1952 Cadillac Roadster 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback "Eleanor" 1962 Lincoln Continental 1959 Cadillac Couch
We ensured every blemish from the time each vehicle was painted and built were removed before they were delivered to the auction. Since most of the vehicles were black, much attention was needed to make each and every one of these pieces look like a million bucks.
Paint correction was key, but it was the fine details under the hoods and in each interior that tied the vehicle's appearance together at the end.
We also had fellow members of the Detail Mafia and Detailer's Network intern with us for part of the duration of this detail-extravaganza. Both traveling from Washington state, Bill The Buffman's Shae Morissey and Clean Planet Auto Detailing's manager Gabriel spent a couple days jeweling out the '52 Cadillac roadster with us. Ken Crone of Shiner's Auto Detailing from Monterray, CA spent most of the time with us on several of the cars.
We want to thank everyone who made this project possible. The detailer's who pitched in and worked as a team with us truly made this auction one of the best ones yet! You all are like family. Thank you to the guys at Memory Lane Auto Brokers for your continued business, loyalty, and friendship! Until next time. Enjoy the gallery!
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. For more on coatings, visit our coating education page: http://scottsdalecardetailing.com/glass-crystal-coatings/

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.
