Porsche GT3 in for extensive Detail, PPF, Paint Correction, Paint Protection by Ceramic Pro

July 29, 2016

It is always fascinating to see the transformation on a vehicle that is an icon. This 2010 Porsche GT3 received our Signature Paint Correction. This is the process in which we perform multiple stages of compounding and polishing to reflow and remove imperfections in the clear-coat to yield as close to an imperfection-free finish as possible. For more information on paint correction, click here.

We also performed a wheel-off detail where we removed the wheels, steam cleaned the suspension and brake system, as well as the wheels and wheel barrels. Upon completion of the deep cleanse, we protected the wheels and calipers with Ceramic Pro, a durable coating that repels brake dust and prevents corrosion, as well as aids in easy-cleaning. This is also available for your vehicle's paint which we also applied to this beautiful Porsche. For more info on our paint coating packages, click here.

Once paint corrected, we wrapped the entire exterior in XPEL Ultimate Self-Healing Film. This will provide a sacrificial barrier over the paint from any environmental variables. Custom plotted and fitted special for this vehicle, side markers, tail and headlights, as well as the inner linings of the fender wells were removed to ensure as seamless and clean of an install as possible. Included is a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing and any film defects! Visit our paint protection film page for more information on XPEL and Suntek film solutions that we offer.

Once the film installation was complete, we provided 2 layers of Ceramic Pro on top of the film. We offer this as an option so that your paint protection film has a UV protective, hydrophobic (water-fearing, or in other words, LOTS of water beads that aid in self-cleaning!) surface that allows clear bra/PPF to behave and act more like paint. No more static-cling! Dust, tar and bugs wash off with much more ease than without a coating. We also protected the leather and carpets with Ceramic Pro. It's important to protect your vehicle's interior as UV rays can damage and fade your leather and plastics.

Overall, the end result of this GT3 was simply stunning. Near total perfection (nothing in this world is perfect), we've never seen a race car look so dang pretty!

Happy Detailing!

2004 Ferrari Challenge Stradale Signature Paint Correction High-End Detail

June 28, 2016

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!

We are Arizona's premier detailing company. We specialize in paint correction and paint protective coatings by Ceramic Pro. We cater to the luxurious, exotic, high-end, and economy class of vehicles. For all your detailing, window tint, or paint protection film (clear bra) needs, it has to be Detail BOSS.

2012 Ferrari California protected with XPEL Ultimate Film and Ceramic Pro

April 20, 2016

Our client came to us and expressed his fastidiousness towards his car collection. Right off the bat we knew he was a car guy; we thought, 'who better to detail your vehicle than fastidious car guys like ourselves, right?'

The car receiving the love? A beautiful 2012 Ferrari California in Bianco Avus (White). There were a few areas where there was paint protection film applied, namely on the rear portion rocker panels near the air ducts, and along the trailing edges of each fender to aid against rock chips. Tarnished and yellowed from age, we removed them using heat. Any residue left behind was cleaned off using adhesive remover.

Once all the old film was removed, we proceeded to perform our signature paint correction. This process involves multiple stages of compounding and polishing to remove scratches by re-leveling the clear-coat. This yields 90+% imperfection removal, leaving a high-gloss, near flawless finish. For more information on what paint correction is, visit our paint correction page here.

Before: Scratches and imperfections caused from improper washing and care.

After paint correction: no scratches or swirl marks

Much of the grime and scuffs that occurred from daily driving were removed using spot sanding and polishing in the rocker panels.

Before: Visible scratches which hinder reflection

XPEL Ultimate Self Healing Film was installed on the entire front nose of the vehicle, including the hood, front bumper, headlights, front fenders and mirrors. Also protected were the rocker panels and rear boot lid where the convertible hard top rests against when in the closed position. XPEL was also custom-cut and fit for the entire rear bumper. Unlike many companies and dealerships, we custom plot our film to tuck and roll edgesto have as seamless of an install possible. This way dirt and other variables have less chance of creating that 'dirt line' we all have seen form on PPF seams overtime. Paint protection film is the ultimate form of protection against rock chips and other variables your vehicle is exposed to on a daily basis that can damage its finish.

Upon installation of XPEL, the entire exterior was protected with Ceramic Pro. The painted areas received 9H and Light, and the film-covered areas were protected with two layers of Light. Having paint protection film coated with Ceramic Pro takes away the tacky-feeling that film possesses, providing the film with more paint-like properties. This aids tremendously when cleaning up the vehicle. Bugs, tar, bird droppings wash off with ease.

At last, once the client came to take delivery of his now-mint Ferrari California, he didn't want to drive it! Corrected and protected, this 4 year old Ferrari looks better than the day it rolled off the show-room floor. We'd like to thank our client as well as the rest of our clients and friends who support us! We strive daily to deliver the best quality and customer satisfaction the Detail BOSS brand is known for.

Enjoy a few after shots in the sun as well as the epic film production below. Until next time, happy detailing!
