Twelve hours.
Forty steps.
Zero shortcuts.
Walk through the studio with us. Every car, regardless of value, follows the same forty-step protocol — because the only way to be consistent is to refuse to skip steps for anyone.
Intake & paint mapping
On arrival the car is parked in our intake bay under 6500K LED. We measure clearcoat thickness on every panel using a Defelsko PosiTest gauge, photograph every existing defect, and walk the car with you so nothing is missed and nothing is added later without consent.
- +Defelsko PosiTest gauge · 0.1µm res
- +Sun-gun + 6500K bar
- +Pre-job photo brief — every panel
- +Owner walkaround signed off
Decontamination
Two-bucket pre-rinse with citrus pre-soak, contact wash with pH-neutral soap and plush microfibre, iron-fallout dissolution, tar removal with citrus solvents, mechanical clay decon under flowing soap to lift bonded contaminants without inducing marring.
- +Koch-Chemie Reactive Iron-X
- +Bilt Hamber Auto-Clay Soft
- +Foam pre-soak · 3 cycles
- +Wheels & arches separated tools
Paint correction
Multi-stage compounding with random-orbital and forced-rotation polishers under metered light. Cuts are sectioned to 30cm² and PTG-checked between passes. We will never run a stage thinner than your remaining clearcoat allows — preservation always beats perfection.
- +Rupes Mille / LHR21
- +Menzerna 400 → 2500 → 3800
- +PTG re-check every section
- +IPA + Eraser wipedown between stages
Application
For PPF: bench-templated panels heat-set to fitment, knife-cut only where templating cannot reach, edges tucked behind trim where geometry permits. For coatings: panel-by-panel application with cross-hatch, levelled, flashed, and topped per chemistry spec.
- +ISO 8 filtered air
- +21°C ± 1, 45% RH
- +Bench plotter pre-cuts
- +Two-tech application
Cure & QC
Coatings flash and cure in our climate-controlled bay — no ambient dust, no temperature swings. Final QC under sun gun, 6500K bar, and natural light. Any defect we find, we fix before you see the car.
- +Climate-controlled cure bay
- +Three-light QC protocol
- +Studio dust-count < 50/ft³
- +Re-inspection 24h after cure
