“The bitterness of low quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.”

Remember when you first got a glimpse of your car on the showroom floor? Everything was perfect, the gloss level was almost blinding, you could eat off the engine, there were no swirls in the paint, and all the crevices were perfect and clean. After a complete detail your car should look like it did that day, yet many amateur detailers fall short with poor polishing techniques and skills that just don’t measure up. Their packages may say “Complete”, yet they just don’t have the equipment or knowledge of chemicals to get it right, and perfection is the only way an auto detail should be done. At Showroom exceeding your expectations is our mission. Read more

Note:

All paintwork is inspected prior to detailing with a Paint Thickness Gauge to ensure a quality detail and to let me know what I'm working with. Many sections of a cars paintwork could have a respray without the clients knowledge, and this helps us evaluate which method to use or how aggresive we can get with a certain panel. On Paint Correction(Reconditioning) Details we always have a consultation with the client to see what the expectations are for your pride and joy. We then tape off a 1ft.x1ft. section and use many polishing processes to see which one is best suited for your particular car.

Mike's obsession with perfection and quality work has distinguished him as a Master Detailer that's considered to be one of the most thorough and respected in the industry. He has learned the "Art of Detailing" from some of the best in the world. Your car is always treated like one of his own, and he's a car crazy enthusiast also.

+  Express Detail (Allow 1 1/2-3 Hours)

This service is designed as part of a maintenance package on vehicles that have received paint correction or have had a Wash & Seal within the last 5 months. Minimum of 2 vehicles per stop for this package.
Frequent washing of your vehicle is essential in keeping your vehicles finish in perfect condition. The Express Detail is the ultimate in washing, employing techniques others just can’t match. This isn’t your local corner car wash where wheel wells and door jambs are often overlooked. The two-bucket method is always employed and blowing water out of all the crevices before handing you the keys is a given. The washing and drying stages are where most mistakes are made and swirls are induced in the paint. Drying with plush waffle weave microfiber towels ensures a scratch free finish.

+  Complete Detail (Allow 6-8 Hours)

This package was designed for vehicles in very good condition that want to stay that way. This package will condition your car to hold up to harsh driving conditions and daily use. Recommended 3-4 times per year. Note that a wax or sealant, aside from the myths and marketing strategies of product companies, cannot remove defects, swirls, etc. There sole purpose is to protect the vehicle from the elements. The wet, glossy look comes form the prep-work and polishing stages. I would never recommend applying a wax to a car that isn't in great condition or prepped properly, you would just be sealing in all the contaminants bonded to your car.

+  Premium Detail (Allow 8-12 Hours) Single Step Paint Correction Included

This package is truly a great way to see the difference paint correction can make to your paintwork. While it doesn't contain as many steps as the "Signature"or "Perfection"package, it is most likely above and beyond any standards you've ever experienced in auto detailing. This package was designed to be a great treatment in between multi-stage paint correction treatments or newer vehicles with swirling and micro-marring. A Single Stage Paintwork Correction is performed with this package. The paintwork is rid of minor blemishes, swirls, and light oxidation leaving a beautiful gloss and long lasting protection.. While this polishing session cannot remove any major defects, the level of gloss is amazing along with its capability to remove micro-marring and small scratches. In the final stage of the detail a very high grade carnauba wax is applied. You can also opt for layers of carnauba wax for more protection or a synthetic or polymer sealant topped with a carnauba wax for the ultimate protection and gloss.

+  The "Showroom" Detail (Allow 1-2 Days)

Our most popular package because of its ability to recondition paint without repainting. This package can save you $1000's.
The Stage one polishing session is our most popular package because of its ability to correct swirl marks(spiderwebbing) and holograms and buffer trails left by amateur detailers with a buffer. Depending on the condition of your paintwork, 1-4 paint correction steps may be used to often bring the car back to a better than new condition. After the dealer gets through with the vehicle is one of the best times to look for buffer trails, and most of the time they only show up in direct sunlight or under halogen lighting. A very high level of gloss can be achieved with this process. This is a great package for Daily Drivers that have lost their gloss, Show Cars and Classics, and the most discerning Exotic owners. All paintwork is highly inspected under the most scrutinizing lighting during the polishing process.

+  Concourse Detail (When only Perfection will suffice!)

The Concourse Detail is the ultimate and unmatched in the Detail Industry. Michal personally performs this ultimate reconditioning from top to bottom, side to side and invest up to and beyond 50 hours. Michael performs this detail on many luxury, exotic, and performance supercars, but it can make a daily driver turn heads like it did when you drove it off the Showroom floor. There is nothing overlooked down to the last bolt on a piece of plastic. This service is the one that can make a car in bad condition look new again. My clients are truly amazed at the correction capabilities of this service. Usually we use an intensive polish to rid the paint of swirls and micro-marring followed by a finishing micro-polish that levels and jewels the paint to perfection. While most would consider the paint perfect, we don't. We then do a process known in the industry as "Burnishing" to bring the paintwork to its fullest potential. The polishing steps alone can take up to ten hours or more. My clients have received a tremendous jump in resale value after having this service. All work is documented and video is taken. The documented pictures and video are all put on a disc for you to have for your records and to show off.
These are just a few of the steps taken to perform this reconditioning process.
  • Pre-rinse and or Foam Gun the entire vehicle to ensure new swirls are not induced to the paintwork.
  • Gentle hand wash with two bucket method and a pH neutral soap.
  • Spot free de-ionized rinse.
  • Air blown dry to remove water from cracks, crevices, mirrors, and badge

  • The vehicle is then taped off with 3M tape to prevent polishing dust from entering cracks, crevices, and badges.
  • Now the polishing begins. High speed polishing session with an intensive polish to remove tough swirls and marring, thus leveling the paintwork.
  • A finer finishing polish is used to burnish the paint and jewel it to a swirl-free, mirror shine. This step produces the wet look everybody wants.
  • Car is then re-washed to remove any polishing dust and prep the paint for sealant.
  • Door shuts, door jambs, trunk jambs are thoroughly cleaned with a citrus degreaser.

This is an example of how much Gloss can be achieved through different polishing applications I provide. The wax on this GS350 adds some warmth and wetness to the paintwork, but the polishing stages prior to the last step is where the look comes from.

All times and prices listed are approximates and can vary. Estimates are for cars that are in good condition and not heavily soiled or abused. Large trucks or SUV’s are usually on the high side of the estimate and sometimes can exceed the time. The vehicles size, paint hardness, and condition are all factored in the amount of time the detail will take. Any service can be customized to meet your needs. Final costs will be determined upon vehicle inspection. All clients have the choice of dropping off their vehicle or we will come to you.

Single Stage Paint on this SUV dulled and oxidized on the left. The right side is after two bucket wash, clay bar, rewash, multi-stage correction with washes in between, then topped with Wolfgang Fuzion Wax.


"The company truck". Just an example of how your vehicle is taped off to prevent polishes from going where there not supposed to go, and to reduce chance of buffer touching delicate plastic or rubber areas. This is where many amateur detailers go wrong and have to skip these steps to make a profit.
