Paint Correction + Envious Detailing + Modesta BC04
This is the highlight reel, head over to the blog for more info and pictures

Previous client returned to us with his new Tesla Model X in a black metallic paintjob. This color really looks amazing on this car, without all the swirls and scratches all over it. Being just 1 month old, and having not really been driven, this one was a little rough when it came in. No worries, we got this!

After a total of about 20 hours of compounding and polishing, we finally had a finish ready to be coated with Modesta BC04 to lock in the glassy depth and wetness. Originally estimated about 10 hours of polishing, but without adjusting the compounds to something more aggressive (some spots wetsanded) we were not getting the results we , nor the client, wanted. So, we made the judgement call to get the car looking proper with 3 solid steps of correction for better looks in the end!

We spent a total of 20 hours on this new car, but the end results are well worth it!
This is how a new car should be delivered to the new owner!

we have a desire to put out the best end result we possibly can on every single job we do. This one is an example of that. We planned a moderate correction with just two steps of paint correction, but after getting started, we had to adjust our game plan on the fly and ended up doing a whole lot more for the client. Its just what we do!
