Been busy trying to survive 2014's weird summer heat and general flow of work for North Carolina. Very blessed for all the support from the NC Crowd. Start with some cool new paint coating work!

Show Car Subaru Imprezza White with a fresh paint job. Thankfully, paint was allowed to cure for 3 months, then was wetsanded. I refined the sanding marks and found the paint darn hard. Thanks to NXTi 2014 I simply used Meguiar's 205 & Megs MF Xtra Pads to eviscerate all the marks without a sweat. Some fun edging was done, and I was VERY lucky no deep defects remained. Sealed with a Ceramic Coating, checkout that metallic gloss!

Porsche 911 2014 S - Far easier to approach, IronX removed a fair amount of fallout.

Jet Black 135 - mainly quite a few issues from the dealership. Deep scratches in the trunk removed from some crazy person. Sides had quite some deep marring due to obvious touch car washes!

Client was referred by a friend who found our work online. At first, a bit scarred at how "pricey" our services could be, then we showed them before & afters. A detail shop had burnt through the front bumper.

OK Condition, but pictures can hide defects.

BMW 1988 M5 The definition of improvement - All original paint, I took some paint thickness readings and the stock single stage paint was THIN. We went with a two step approach, the biggest issues were paint residue from buffing a small area. I swear I washed 20 pads in 2 days trying to get a clean surface.
