A couple of weeks ago, I had a client that came in with his gorgeous 2013 Mustang Boss 302 in Race Red that he had recently purchased just the previous month. The vehicle looked great and luckily the customer had requested to not have the dealership prep it for delivery. So this car had no holograms, wax residue or other commonly found problems from a poorly rushed detail. The customer
From time to time, I get a BMW in for paint correction in a color other than black. This 2001 BMW Z3 Roadster was painted in Oxfordgrunden Metallic. The client brought in this car to see what I could do in terms of an overall detail for a BMW car show that was coming up. The vehicle had shown signs of oxidation and there were random deep scratches and swirls.
A new client of mine recently took ownership of this 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo Cab, he soon contacted me about doing a paint correction detail on his new purchase. At first glance, the 911 seemed to be in good shape but with my trusty Brinkmann I was able to see that the car needed a lot of work. Some dealerships have inexperienced personnel that prep cars for delivery and in
Last June I had a 2004 Bentley Continental GT in Diamond Black for a full detail including paint correction. Bentley clearcoat is definitely one of the hardest clearcoat finishes around. It takes the right combination to get it corrected and once this vehicle was corrected, the owner did a great job of maintaining it to avoid scratches and swirls. He brought in to me recently to do a maintenance detail to
I’ve recently detailed a Honda Civic Si for a client who has kept this vehicle meticulously detailed and for a 2009, it was in excellent condition. The paint was maintained by a another detail shop and although the car had a shiny clean look to it, I noticed that there were traces of light scratches and swirls all over. The color should of made it easy to see them, but the scratches
One of my clients called me up to have her beloved Audi RS4 in for a detail consisting of Paint Correction, Engine and Interior. For an Audi that gets to stretch its legs out on the race track during the season, its been meticulously cared for by its owner. The RS4 painted in GraphiteGrau, has a deep metallic finish and needed just that extra touch to make it stand out
I while back I had the pleasure of doing an engine detail on this gorgeous 2001 BMW M3 in PhoenixGelb Metallic. The owner had called up a few weeks ago to schedule some paint correction on his M3 to get it ready for the car show season. This BMW M3 is a definite head-turner, and correction on the paint would make it even more spectacular. BMW is known throughout the detailing world for having one
Motorcycles are everywhere with the return of spring, and this Harley-Davidson Road King was brought in for a detail just in time for the riding season. This Harley had definitely shown some signs of being on some great road trips last season. The Road King went through thorough cleaning, metal polishing and paint correction to transform it to superb condition. This is one motorcycle that is sure to stand out on the
We pride ourselves in being able to provide the highest level of detailing to vehicles both locally and nationally. One of the most requested services is paint correction. Not your typical “buff and wax” job, true paint correction is done with a meticulous approach. We first use a polishing process to eliminate scratches and swirls on the paint surfaces. We then polish or “jewel” the paint to an intense gloss
The SweetCars approach to engine detailing is to make an engine look the way it did when it left the factory. That is to say that we don’t believe in “overly dressed” engine detailing. The type of detailing where every part you touch leaves a greasy feeling. The car was never intended to look that way from the factory and I for one, stand on the side of preservation and
I had the opportunity to detail something a little different from the usual, a 2007 Harley-Davidson FLHX Streetglide. Normally our shop is known for detailing automobiles, but on occasion I get called to do something different. Whether I’m detailing Marine, Aviation or Motorcycles, each of them require different techniques and must be approached differently. In the case of this Harley-Davidson, I had to change gears from my approach to detailing
Detailing Ferraris is one of our many specialities here at SweetCars, and as a life long Ferrari enthusiast I am always passionate about working with them. This particular Ferrari is one of the most complete 360s I’ve ever seen, it has every available option for the 360 including matching luggage and a removable sunroof. This car had been well cared for and needed very little, but did need a bit
Since we’ve opened back in December of 2010, we’ve had some fantastic automobiles come through our shop for detailing and for service. Here are some pictures of just some of the vehicles that have been to SweetCars. We want to especially thank all of our clients for choosing us at SweetCars to maintain and detail their great automobiles. Enjoy the pics!
Michael put the last of the finishing touches on the 911 Targa and he took it outside to get some cool pics of the finished vehicle. This car did have some slight oxidation and being of a darker color, it affected the gloss factor of the paint dramatically. You will notice a rich, deep gloss in the paint and the reflections he pulled out of the paint are extraordinary. The
We had this 1983 Porsche 911 Targa in our shop to be detailed. The paint needed correction and the vehicle had been repainted at some point during its life. Enter Michael Barney, Detail Specialist here at SweetCars. An experienced detailer and certainly no stranger to paint correcting Porsches, Michael had his work cut out for him on this Porsche, but he transformed this old Targa into a show winning piece.
