Arguably one of the most widely recognizable lineages in the automotive world, the Nissan Skyline GT-R will always hold a special place for enthusiasts and collectors alike! We cared for this example with a Paint Correction & CQUARTZ application!

Before we even think about applying a ceramic coating or paint protection film, surfaces have to be properly washed, decontaminated and refined. This may seem like an obvious statement in the field of automotive detailing, but it deserves reiteration! Not every vehicle (or client!) needs a ceramic coating, and some paint surfaces are past the benefit of PPF- it’s our duty to recommend a service that will enhance & protect within reason. With the AMG GT in the video above, we stuck to a 2-Step Paint Correction and Paint Chip Repair, with multiple layers of sealant to deliver a slick and glossy finish!

PPF and ceramic coatings are sometimes sold as silver bullets, cure-alls or miracle technology that will stop an asteroid. As much as we would like them to be, they aren’t, but when shown what they can do we’re continually impressed by their strength and resiliency.

Come join us at our new location on July 30th from 11 AM to 2 PM! We are excited to show you our new facility and the services we provide! Our retail showroom will be open for purchases! Burgers & Hot Dogs will be available fresh off the grill as well.
