    This thread will replace the constant barrage of threads small and large for Detailed Designs Auto Spa. We have been slammed with auto detailing, clear bra and paint protection film, paint correction, wheel-off details, CQuartz Finest jobs, Opti-Coat PRO, Opti-Guard Leather and Fabic coating, glass coatings, window tinting, interior detailing and more. Hopefully, this will offer a good solution and reference point for folks to view.

    First up a 2014 Stingray convertible in Torch Red.


    It had about 1500 miles on it when it arrived at the shop. The owner picked it up during the timeframe that the sucky weather engulfed the whole USA from Chicago and drove it back to Atlanta pretty much the whole way in ice and snow!

    We performed this project over 2 days. Due to the client`s schedule coming in from out of town we killed it to get it done. The weather`<u>sucked</u>`the whole time. It was bitter cold. We had to prep the car inside via ONR. Sorry for the dark shots.


    `


    This 2014 came over from Arkansas an exterior car detail, minor paint correction, CQuartz FINEST and clear bra / paint protection film installation on the full hood and full front fenders. There`was clear bra on the leading edge of the hood and fenders but the owner wasn`t happy with it. We found out the hood had razor blade cut marks on it in a few areas from the previous clear bra installer doing a poor job. Fortunately, they were on the edge and not towards the middle.

    The owner of this 2009 HHR SS LLLLOVES this car. He has a lot of cars, many much more expensive, but this one has his heart. This car sits more than it gets driven. It only has 1900 miles on it.


    `


    The guy that installed the clear bra had done many of his other cars. When we first met he showed me the clear bra job and said he wasn`t happy with it and the installer had more or less stopped returning his calls. Every single clear bra job looked bad. You have to understand that clear bra can`sometimes have working marks where a lot of stretching is required and no one works in a clean room. If you look hard enough you will find where a piece of dust could get trapped during an install. But I am not talking about that. These jobs looked really bad....and the guy who installed these jobs does a ton of work for some luxury car dealerships in town. I shutter to think what folks are paying dealerships a premium for.


    `


    When the hood piece was removed, there was a 6 inch cut that went through the clear bra and into the clear coat. It was improved but sadly, too deep to completely repair. We were able to cover it up with the clear bra so that it was masked.


    `


    His "car wash guy" has been destroying the paint(along with a lot of his other cars). In short, everyone touching his cars were harming them.


    `


    At any rate, we removed the clear bra, corrected the paint(the roof looked as good as the sides) and capped it all off with CQuartz Finest.

    2010 Corvette ZR1

    The existing clear bra had turned yellow and needed to be removed. The carbon fiber splitter, rocker panels, roof and b-pillars were in terrible condition. We corrected all of the carbon fiber and then wrapped it with clear bra. The front partial coverage was replaced with full hood, full front fender, mirrors and full front bumper. Being a car that is rarely ever driven, we capped it all off with a sealant.

    `

    There are issues with GM car`s emblems not being in the same place on every produced car for a certain model. We removed the fender emblems so that the full coverage would be without concern for the emblem relief being off. He shipped me new emblems to replace the originals(I wish he`d have let me keep the originals )

    `








    `


    The weather sucked the day we got started. Way colder than we prefer.


    `



















    `


    Removing some cursed debris that found its way into the hood piece during the install.


    `




    `


    Single wrap pieces like the roof and b-pillar(it wraps from the driver`s side to the passenger`s side) were beasts to install.


    `







    `


    Detailed and clear bra completely installed. Time for the emblem to go back on.


    `





    `


    Careful measurements meant it went back to the exact same spot it came from.


    `




    `


    I like to tape up the emblem per my measurements and then make an outline/box for the emblem to fit into. When the backing tape comes off you get one shot to get it right. Screwing it up means a new $70 emblem and/or a ton of clear bra and time/effort to replace it.


    `





    `


    Bam.
