    SpeedFreak Detailed: HAMMERED Lotus Elise correction

    This little Lotus was a referral from a previous client, and was in BAD need of some serious attention. I'm not sure exactly what model year the car is, though I want to say 2006? The beautiful orange/red metallic gloss had morphed into a dull, lifeless, swirled and scratched up nightmare. The...

    SpeedFreak Detailed: 3k mi Z06 + Opti Coating

    Left my camera at home during this detail so no during shots, but wouldn't have been able to see much.

    Here's a quick detail from today at Designo Motoring in Sterling, VA. I was called in to do a quick micro polish just to punch up the gloss and minimize defects. Luckily Aston/Jaguar paint is pretty soft so I was able to get some pretty decent correction as well. The car has been detailed...

    This car had it all. Acid rain etchings, swirl marks, RIDS, overspray, sanding marks, pigtails you name it. For a car that is barely 4 years old, it was pretty bad. The car was just bought by David, owner of Pro Shield out of Sterling, Va who is a personal friend of mine. The correction was done...
