The Z4 is finally done.  This one needed a very heavy paint correction.  We spent all day Saturday making sure the paint was flawless, and swirl free, and also doing the little details that really make a difference in the end.  We coated her with Vintage, and the car has an amazing look to it.  Rejex'd the wheels also.  This was a full day's work for two people.  The Venture Shield is also complete.  We installed a full hood on this one, with the standard bumper, and fenders, wrapped the rocker panels, and also slapped on a top of the rear bumper.  She's ready for summer.

Here is the twin of yesterday's exterior detail.  This one is however protected with Matrix Micro Coatings, and the paint looked great.  This one also has a complete front Venture Shield wrap, so we polished the film to a beautiful shine, and applied a coat of the new Matrix Micro Coatings clear bra sealer.  Looks great.

This customer came to us because he wanted to preserve his beautiful Mercedes S550.  Despite being a year old or so, it still had scratches and swirls in it.  We already put a Venture Shield clear mask on this car about a year ago.  We installed Matrix Micro Coatings on the paint after polishing out the scratches and swirls, and the finish is incredible.  We also installed the Matrix Micro Coatings clear bra sealant, and it really does a nice job on the Venture Shield.

Black paint seems all we ever work on here at Metropolitan Detail.  This Lexus RX came into our shop with some serious swirl marks and scratches.  This car also has factory single stage paint.  We removed the scratches and swirls, and applied a coat of carnauba wax.  Car looks great.

The Prelude was in for some overspray removal.  This was not too difficult of a task since we saw this car recently, and it had a fresh coat of Concours on it.  We did claybar, HD Cleanse, and reapplied the wax, and it's as good as new.

Friday June 26th.  The first car on our books was a  black Honda Civic.  This one got a Metropolitan Premier Detail with a two stage machine polish, and a window tint removal.  You can see Carlos here removing the window film using a steamer.  This allows us to remove the film without leaving a lot of adhesive behind on the windows.  Unfortunately I don't have a completed picture of the Honda.  It turned out beautifully though.

This beautiful BMW Z4 came into our shop with some serious paint issues.  Swirl marks, and holograms all over.  I started the day by correcting the entire front end of the vehicle, to get rid of all the scratches and swirl marks.  This consisted of a three stage machine polish.  Benjamin then installed Venture Shield on the entire hood, the bumper, the headlights, the fenders, rockers, and top of rear bumper.  I will finish the polish tomorrow and post pictures as soon as they become available.  This car will be quite a transformation.

Cobalt blue 997 Twin Turbo.  It doesn't get any better looking than this.  We performed a two stage machine polish on this one, polished out the Venture Shield clear mask, and topped it off with a rich coat of our Porsche specific Glasur wax.

Here is a Mercedes ML that came in for a maintenance detail.  Since we have previously corrected the paint work on this one, all that was needed was our mini-detail.  This includes a full interior detail, plus a clay bar on the outside with hand wax.  It looks great.

Wednesday June 24th.  We started the day off with a Metropolitan Wash on the E36 supercharged M3.  A Metropolitan Premier Detail was performed on the blue Honda Civic to get rid of all the swirls and holograms all over.  The last was an Audi A4 Avant, and we performed a Metropolitan Premier Detail with a multi-stage polish, and hand applied our polymer paint sealant.  The Premier Detail also includes a complete interior detail, shampooing all the carpets and floor mats, removing stains and spills, cleaning all the heater vents and such.  The Premier Detail also includes an engine clean.  Needless to say, our customer with the Audi was speechless when she picked up her baby.

Another frequent customer of ours brought in his new to him Porsche Boxster S.  We performed a Venture Shield installation with a full hood wrap, a two stage exterior polish to eliminate all the swirl marks left behind by the dealership, and topped it off with a coat of our Glasurit paint specific wax.

It's Tuesday June 23rd. and one of our good customers brought his 997 C4S for a Metropolitan Express wax with our Glasurit paint specific wax.  This car is an excellent example of how a properly cared for vehicle will look great day after day with little effort.

This Durango also came in needing some serious paint correction.  We performed a 3 stage polish on this one, and topped it off with a polymer paint sealant.  It looks great for a ten year old truck.

A major two step paint correction was also done on our good customer Jerry's boat.  This was topped off with our Vintage wax for a beautiful deep wet look.

The first car we saw this morning was an Acura NSX in dire need of some attention.  This car was not only extremely dirty, but also the paint was heavily marred and swirled up.

NSX

As you can see, this car came in very dirty, but after a good prep.  (i.e. cleaning the wheels, engine, door jambs, washing the car, we were off to a clean slate.  We did use a clay bar to remove any imbedded dirt and grime from the paint.  Performed a two stage machine polish, applied a polymer paint sealant, and topped off with our Titanium wax.  As you can see, the finish is now perfect.
