Paint Correction: Its Meaning And Reasons Why It Is Needed: Paint correction is the mechanical leveling of clear coat or paint (clear coat is unpigmented paint, clear) to a point where all the paint is free of swirl marks and light scratches. Swirl marks are essentially a “V” cut/slice in the paint where light bounces around in the valley of the scratch and exits. This is how you see the swirl marks. If the paint was flat, with no valley, you wouldn’t have anywhere for the light to bounce around...that is where paint correction shines the best. As the polishing steps are carried out, there are various degrees of aggressiveness which are used for different levels of desired end results. For example, not everyone needs or should have “perfect paint,” some are simply ok with much better, not perfect. Not everyone looks at their paint with a flashlight. This can be a straightforward and simple process, or a very labor intensive process where experience and knowledge are of the utmost importance depending on the car owner’s expectations. We take the time to figure out the proper steps and use the correct products to achieve the desired results in a timely fashion. We don't cut corners by “filling” in defects by using oils and glazes to make it “look” like things were done, only to find out after two washes all the oils are removed and your paint looks the same as before. We have designed our packages in the paint correction category based on the last 14 years of experience in this field. Our gloss enhancement is designed for those looking for more gloss with a bit of swirl mark removal. The clarity package is designed for those looking for a good amount of correction (removal of swirls and light scratches) and a lot more gloss. This is our most popular package. Then there comes the reset package. This includes a heavy compound step, a medium polish step, and fine final polish step. The reset is for those looking to really turn their car’s paint around and get back to square one with about 90% to 95% correction. How Long Should Paint Correction Take? This is a varying answer and there are many reasons why it can range from 5 hours for a simple one step, or 30 hours for a much more involved multi-step process. We have over 90 combinations of products, pads, and machines to get the job done right the first time. We will perform a couple test spots in order to make sure we get the results we are after before going around the whole car only to find out we missed the mark. Proper Paint Correction is not a fast or simple procedure to do correctly, we understand that and have implemented a process to deliver results every time. When you step up to our flat out package, we begin with wet sanding the paint and then carry out a full reset package. This is the best your car will ever look as it will have the flattest paint and the more mirror like shine

What is a Ceramic Coating? Ceramic coatings, also known as nano coatings, glass coatings and quartz coatings, are semi-permanent coatings applied on different surfaces to protect them against environmental damage and make them easier to clean & maintain. Ceramic coating for vehicles is a sacrificial layer that is applied on the car’s exterior paint (& other surfaces such as wheels, calipers, glass and interior) in order to protect it from environmental debris, UV rays, dirt, and minor swirls and scratches. The science behind ceramic coatings Ceramic coatings are a liquid polymer. It mainly consists of a Resin (which provides the hard, hydrophobic & gloss characteristics) and a solvent. The most commonly used resin in a ceramic coating is Silicon Dioxide (SiO2). Silicon dioxide: SiO2 is a main component used in the production of Glass. Therefore, ceramic coatings are also known as liquid glass or glass coating. The Silicon Dioxide is melted and bought into a liquid form, which is then inserted into the solvent. So, when you buy ceramic coating, you get a bottle that is a mixture of Silicon Dioxide and solvent. Purpose of solvent: the purpose of solvent is to ensure that the Silicon Dioxide remains in the liquid state. Without a liquid state, it would not be possible to apply the coating on the car. Why is it also called a Nano Coating – The process of crystallization Ceramic coatings are based on Nanotechnology. All the ceramic solvent products are made using nano modules and particles (nano is smaller in size than micro). Hence, it is also known as nano-ceramic. Nanotechnology has been used in many products, ceramic being one. Nanotechnology is used for a very specific purpose in ceramic coatings. The car’s paint has micropores. When nano-based ceramic coatings are applied over the surface, the nanoparticles go inside these pores. As the solvent, which keeps SiO2 in a liquid state evaporates, the liquid glass starts to harden. This process is called crystallization. Thus, after some time, the ceramic coating creates this layer of glass on the vehicle’s clear coat. Since it mechanically locks in (not chemically) with the clear coat, it provides semi-permanent protection, chemical resistance from 2-12 pH, and hydrophobicity which is actually an outcome of the coating being based on nanotechnology. What does ceramic coating do? Ceramic coating is an additional protection layer to your car’s exterior, and help’s it look brand new with minimal maintenance. The science behind coating is nanotechnology, and due to that, it makes your vehicle more resilient and easier to clean. Here are some other benefits that coating offers: Protection from UV damage Protection from chemical stains and etching Enhanced gloss Long-term paint protection for your car Hydrophobicity i.e. water repellence

The Importance of Engine Detailing Regular cleaning can help to prevent rust and corrosion, as well as improve the overall efficiency of your engine. Additionally, a clean engine bay can make it easier to spot any potential issues, such as leaks or worn parts, allowing you to address them before they become major problems.

Helmet and gear detailing

Maintaining your helmet is as important as choosing the right one. We offer a range of packages designed to keep your helmet and gear in top condition. Using the right cleaning and maintenance products and processes can extend the life of your helmet and gear and ensure it provides maximum protection. Additionally, storing your helmet correctly is crucial. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and use a proper helmet bag for storage. Regular checks for any signs of wear or damage are also essential. Remember, a well-maintained helmet is an effective helmet. Caring for your motorcycle helmet is important for several reasons: Ensures Maximum Protection: The primary role of a helmet is to protect the rider’s head during a crash. Regular care and maintenance ensure that the helmet retains its protective properties. A well-maintained helmet is more likely to function effectively in the event of an impact. Maintains Structural Integrity: Regular inspection for signs of wear and tear, such as cracks or dents, is crucial. A damaged helmet might not provide adequate protection in a crash. Detecting and addressing these issues early can be life-saving. Longevity of the Helmet: Proper cleaning and storage extend the helmet’s lifespan. Storing the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources helps prevent material degradation. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of dirt and grime, which can otherwise lead to the deterioration of helmet materials. Visibility: Cleaning the helmet, especially the lens or visor, is essential for clear visibility. Dirt, bugs, and other debris can obscure vision, which is dangerous while riding. Products like OC Lens Cleaner, OC1 Anti-Fog or Oc1 Universal Cleaner not only clean the visor but also leave a protective film that repels water and reduces fogging, enhancing safety in various riding conditions. Comfort: Cleaning the interior of the helmet, as with Helmet’In, ensures a more comfortable ride. It removes sweat, dirt, and odors, making the helmet more pleasant to wear, especially for longer rides. Hygiene: Regular cleaning of both the exterior and interior of the helmet is important for hygiene. Helmets can harbor bacteria and odors, especially from sweat, so keeping it clean ensures better hygiene and health.
