The difference in a Proper Interior Detail

Steam Cloth Before

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.

Before: Driver Mat stained  

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!

 

First Ferrari 488 GTB Detailed on the East Coast!

We had the extraordinary opportunity to be a part of detailing the first Ferrari 488 GTB delivered on the east coast. We performed a multi-stage paint correction alongside our friends over at Distinct Detailing in Flemington, New Jersey.

Holograms in clear-coat can be seen in direct sun. Notice the "spiderweb" 3D holographic effect to the paint due to improper buffing procedures from the factory.

After paint correction, a hazeless, perfect sun can be seen in the reflection of the rear fender

Removing all imperfections prior to the Ceramic Pro Silver package application, this pony was jeweled to a smooth, glass-like finish and topped with Ceramic Pro 9H and Light for up to 5 years of durable protection. It will no longer need to be waxed or require any sort of protection.

Ceramic Coatings are an artificial clear coat that forms a molecular bond to your vehicle's finish, adding a sacrificial barrier that is a harder, more durable layer that adds scratch resistant and anti-graffiti properties against ink, tar, bugs and road paint. In addition to its anti-stick and anti-static properties, ceramic coatings will also allow your vehicle to clean up much easier!

Our paint correction process removes imperfections such as: water spots, scratches, sand-marks and holograms that were not properly removed from the factory, as well as environmental fallout.

We are Detail BOSS, Scottsdale's Premier Auto Detailing Company. We are located in sunny Scottsdale Arizona. We service Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Chandler and everywhere in between!

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!
