Cquartz Finest Paint Coating: Corvette Stingray

Once again Reflections detailing of Utah was given a sweet ride to perfect.   This gem was a New car prep with adding a coating to help protect for years to come.  The coating of choice on this job was Cquartz Finest, which was an excellent choice for its ideal protection and gloss.  When ever a new car comes in to the shop, we need to decon the paint very well.  This entails claying the paint to remove any environmental particles bonded to the paint in the shipping process, stripping any "waxes" that are on the surface, and an inspection to see the condition of the paint before proceeding....

Vintage 1963 250GT Ferrari: Boranni Wheel cleaning

Ferrari Detailing in Utah

Over the course of my detailing experiences I have come across many different kinds of “issues” my clients vehicles have had, and they trust in my experiences to keep their vehicles safe.  If I ever want a second option on something, I can call any of the large network of pros I know for their experience or take on the issue I’m detailing with. Having some of the top detailers in the world working together makes for a tag team detailing enterprise like no other.  It’s when you get so good at your trade that you feel you “know it all”, and that is when you fall far from your perch...

2011 Lambo Performante Paint Correction

Well ladies and gentlemen I was lucky enough to get the honor at a new Lambo a 2011 Performante (LP 570-4) Spyder.  This is only 1 of 3 white ones in the USA and while I’m not a white color fan, this really got to me after the many hours I worked on her.  In my opinion the Lambos are really hitting their stride right now, amazing engine sounds, great drivers, and styling looks are really giving the long held Ferrari’s a run for the money. This car from a distance is a stunner, even up close you have to have a discerning eye for the details that needed to be addressed.  My client is such...

BMW 2013 550i: New car prep and Opti coat paint and wheels

new car prep and opti coat Pro Utah

Here at Reflections Detailing of Utah I had a mid winter new car prep sent to us.  This car was transported by the dealership in Nebraska, almost 1000 miles, to me here in Utah.  The client is located here in Utah also, but about 120 miles away.  I thank the client for the trust in sending his car to me, without ever stepping foot in my shop before.  I value trust and work very hard to exceed the level they gave me. The client ordered the car back in early December and I was contacted by them about options for its care once it hit the dealership from Europe.  We spoke at length about these...

Vintage 1963 250 GT Ferrari: part 2 paint correction

Ferrari Detailing in Utah

Part 2, After the wheels were perfected and more importantly preserved for the cash and historical value,  it was time to turn the attention to the paint work.  The paint was a newer repaint done in Italy, and while not original the cost of a repaint done by Ferrari is not cheap.  I was to preserve this paint more for its cash value than anything else.  The shape of the paint was rough by any normal standard, but for a vintage Ferrari this was flogged on a pole by previous owners (who likely didn’t know the details of detailing).  I would venture to say Detailed Image readers are much...
