Street Scene has truly become one of the premier import events in the western half of New York state. We are proud to be a part of it every year! It always gets bigger and better with each passing iteration but we still see plenty of familiar faces every time.
 

We appreciate motorsports in all forms, and that definitely includes those on two wheels! We were thrilled when the owner of this Suzuki SV650 approached us about protecting it. We couldn't wait to dig it and coat it from head to toe in layers of CQuartz coatings.

It's been an incredible summer thus far jam packed with events. The WNY and CNY regions have a truly under-appreciated car culture across the board. A huge thank you to all of those who take time away from their lives to coordinate all of the events we have been privileged enough to attend. We hope you enjoy our selection of the best of the best from July's events.

We have had the privilege of working with many of the F80 generation of BMW's M3. The owner has put his touch on this particular car and it shows from all angles. The natural choice to assure this vehicle looked its best for years to come was CQuartz Finest Reserve!

We had such a great time at this year's Guilded event! Thanks again to all who came out and raised money for Wilmot Cancer Center. Here is a sampling of the awesome rides we spent the day with. Until next year! As always, all images expand to full res when clicked.

Stay tuned for more show coverage this summer!

Introduced in 1992 and carrying a storied reputation for its visceral driving experience, this year the sun will set on a legendary name. At Arete we are deeply passionate about the weird and wonderful corners of the automotive universe so naturally, we were excited to care for a last-year-of-production Viper GTS in Venom Black.For this vehicle the owner chose to cut no corners and go straight for the top shelf; CQuartz Finest Reserve.

The S-class has long been a representation of the latest the technology the market has to offer, introducing features that eventually trickle down into every day vehicles as the pace of innovation brings them into wider adoption. On the other hand, AMG has been creating absolutely insane machines that push the limits of performance possibilites. We were thrilled to take care of this example, and the owner pulled no punches in getting it setup for its life with him via a very extensive CQuartz Finest service

With as much misinformation out there about what ceramic/glass/nano coatings can and can’t do, it’s time to clear the air. Here at Areté  we are absolutely dedicated to ensuring our clients are not only educated about the specific products we use, but also product classifications as a whole. In the spirit of spreading knowledge we are here to help you understand what to expect out of a protective paint coating system. We’ll dispel some myths and teach you about the realities of what these amazing products can truly accomplish. While they are the real deal when it comes to surface protection, they aren’t a miracle cure-all and there are things that some companies will claim that just simply aren’t true.

All Paint Enhancement Detail services are 25% this month! Along with news about Guilded 2017 and the upcoming Arete Performance & Styling options. 

We have a deep appreciation for automotive design, and any opportunity we can get to indulge we are happy to take! This 981 Cayman GTS was no exception. Porsche created a curvaceous masterpiece, with each panel possessing truly tantalizing lines that flow together to create something greater than the sum of its parts. At Arete we are unabashed Porsche fans but this is one of the more beautiful modern pieces by a brand that has historically made some incredibly striking machines. When the owner of this particular Guards Red example contacted us for a very extensive protection and preservation service we were thrilled to take on the challenge!
