Hummer H2 Tender Loving Care

Tender Loving Care : The work of providing TREATMENT for or ATTENDING to someone or something.That's exactly what this big guy needed. the customer told me that he really never wax his hummer let alone polish the paint. i convinced him that a polish was long overdue on the paint to restore it back to factory finish. he upgrade from a traditional wash and wax to the high end signature detail. the following photos are the BEFORE pictures of the Hummer.

you cant really tell from this angle because of the shadow overcasting the hummer, but it had a thick layer of dirt.

the plastic grill and all the exterior trim was dull and looked very faded.

the paint was ok but definitely could be better. you can see the dullness of the exterior trim 

the tires were very dirty and caked up with dirt and so were the wheels.

After a long process i finally gave the hummer the tender loving care it deserved. the pictures that follow are the AFTER pictures. please feel free to comment!

picture of the interior fully cleaned and fully dressed to a superior shine.

from this angle you can see the front rubber trim fully restored. it was grey and faded  before but not anymore. 

With a combination of the right polishing and a layer of carnuba was the paint gives out an outstanding shine. just look at the reflection of the clouds on the paint!

as you can see all the exterior trim is now fully restored and the tires and wheels are nice and clean.

what a difference a good polishing and waxing will do to a vehicle.

it took a while to achieve but the owner has his hummer fully restored to a beautiful finish. 

whether your vehicle is small or big trust on high end detailing to give you the satisfaction of driving a clean beautiful car again!

Paint Overspray Contamination

Q. What's Paint Overspray anyway?

A. Simply put, overspray is little (or big) specks of something on your vehicle's paint. It happens when you've happened to park your vehicle near a building or house being painted, or nearby where someone is spraying or doing concrete work. You can drive through it. It can even come from heavy pollutants in the form of industrial fallout. You don't even have to be very close--overspray can be carried quite a distance by the wind. It can look like a fine mist all over the vehicle. This creates a barrier, sometimes clouds the finish, and must be removed before the vehicle can be polished and waxed. If the overspray happens to be the same color as your car, it may be first detected by feel--running your hand over the surface of the vehicle.

Q. How is it taken off my car?

A. Two unfortunate things about overspray is that it's time consuming and difficult to remove, and some kinds may damage your clearcoat. Often we can do a pre-test to determine this. However, all overspray removal must be done properly, with no harsh methods or solvents, to ensure no damage to the vehicle's paint. Over the years high end detailing services has developed a safe and sure method for overspray removal. We carefully remove it by hand, inch by inch, from the paint, chrome, moldings, windows, rubber--anywhere and everywhere it is. We use a product that causes no harm to the paint whatsoever. Afterwards, the vehicle is completely polished with a non-abrasive polish, and two coats of polymer sealer wax are applied by hand. We've often been told by happy customers that the overspray turned out to be a good thing--they never realized their car could look so wonderful!

Examples of paint Overspray:

recently a client brought his car to me with serious paint overspray issues. he had traveled outside of the country and left his car with a friend that owns a body paint shop. apparently his car was left un-attended and it accumulated all the of overspray from the shop.  as time passed by the oversray paint layered into his honda civic paint, making his car look dull and rough looking.

this is the left fender. i did a 50/50 comparison of a before and after effect    

 

from this angle you can see the damage on the hood where its serverly contaminated with paint overspray. look at the left fender..its a night and day difference,

Acura TSX

hello everyone, last week i was called to do an acura tsx that has a black hawk pearl paint job. its a very nice car. sadly the owner didn't know the proper way of washing his car. for the most part he would just take it to the gas station automatic car wash tunnel of death! that car wash might be cheap but the results are more expensive to fix in the long run.

here's how the car looked before:


this picture was taken after i'd done my two bucket hand wash. the proper way of washing your car.

 this is what most of the automatic car wash stations will do to your car's paint. instill swirls and holograms.

the paint  had never been polished or even waxed. 

I polished the paint to a shiny finish and to lock in that finish i topped it off with a layer of carnuba wax for a longer lasting wet, shiny look on the paint.

these were the results:

Black hawk pearl beauty!

 remember those swirls and nasty holograms? same panel, different results! all gone!

Another Car washed and polished correctly by:

Infinity G35 Black Severe Swirl Removal.

This was perhaps the most damage ive ever seen on a car's paint. the owner told me that he had it "wetsanded" by a "professional". that term can be used so much today. its hard to trust anyone that claims it. im not the one that judges others, but i could tell this "professional" did more harm than good to this g35.
here's the evidence:

 Severe Rotary Swirls were left all over this beautiful car.

the owner only wanted me to do the exterior on the car. we've established that a 3 step paint correction was going to be needed to fully remove those nasty swirl marks. i did say REMOVE, not hide those swirl marks, promised him that those swirl marks werent going to re-appear after a month. In order to do it correctly i needed to cut with compound, followed by a polishing step and finished with a good carnuba wax. these were the amazing results:

as you can see in this picture, all of the severe swirls are all gone!

Another Car Rescued by:

2003 Chevy Silverado Red Truck

hello everyone! I'm excited about this new year and the great things to come for my business. i would like to take this time to wish you all and your families happy new year!

before the year ended i was delighted to work on this great work hose truck..the chevy silverado! it was very dirty because the customer is a construction worker, but wanted to have his truck looking nice and mint for 2014.

this is how it looked when it drove up to my driveway

Red Paint shouldnt looked this dull and faded!

the wheels and tires were all caked up with dirt!

I knew exactly what this truck needed.. Tender Love and Care. so i did that by giving it a thorough vacum to the interior, dressing the interior, the wheels got washed and dressed as well. 

now to revive that Red paint! after hand washing it, i prepped it with a clay bar, than i proceed it to polish the paint.. after a good polish the customer and i discussed that it was a better option to go with a high quality paint sealant for longer protection and shine.

These were the Results:

Another Excellent Detailing job by :

2004 Sequoia Paint Correction and scratch removal by high end detailing

I had the pleasure on working on this king size suv! toyota sequoia.. i had my work cut out from the start.
this is how it looked after it was properly washed.

after giving it a full inspection, scratches and paint rubbed into the bumper were found.

I decided to cut the clear coat with cutting compound and a dual-action polisher. After that, i began to polish to the bring back the shine to this beautiful  suv. these were the great results after applying the last layer of wax.

the paint is all gone! looks brand new!

beautifully restored to its original shine.

here's a better look at that long scratch that i removed.. all gone

the wax gave it an wet paint finish!

the interior also got detailed. vacuumed, shampoo and the leather seats got cleaned. conditioner was applied to restore shine into the leather.

another great job by
