Summer 2023 is in full swing and what better way to kick it off than with a new Racing Yellow Turbo S that's now shining as bright as the Florida sun!? I'm excited to bring you this Detail of the Month! It's been some time since I've written up a full post for you guys, and I know you enjoy seeing the full progress of our work.
If you've been to the recent Supercar Social event, then you've seen this car. We're pleased to protect this car for a repeat client who came to us for our PPF expertise and Modesta coatings. Check out the details below.
This particular vehicle will be driven hard. The client's concern is to PROTECT THE INVESTMENT. Our client comes to SD for our meticulous polishing techniques prior to protection, detailed PPF installations, and premium Modesta coatings. Like many vehicles we protect, this Turbo S came straight from the dealership to our shop for fully body protection. We work with the client to determine best level of protection that includes PPF and Modesta Coatings. Here is what we did:
We choose SunTek Reaction Paint Protection film for this vehicle because of its clarity, gloss, and durability. Our tests prove that this film is superior in terms of it's durability matched with glossiness.
We choose Modesta BC-X because it is an easy maintenance coating that works well over paint and PPF alike. It's designed for daily drivers and can be "put to work" right away, as we like to say. Knowing that this vehicle is going straight to the roads after leaving our shop is an important factor in our coating choice.
Our protection process always starts with a full preparation decontamination wash. We then fully polish the vehicle for the "SD Shine" that our clients know and love so much. This is a step often skipped by many wrap shops. We truly correct any swirls and marring for a near-perfect finish. This polish and correction work creates the perfect foundation for PPF and Modesta coatings.
Paint Protection Film does have limitations, but we aim for the most seamless, invisible job possible. Doing that requires some disassembly. We remove the hood emblem and rear badges for a seamless installation on the hood and rear bumper. We remove the wheels and the headlights for a clean fender installation. We remove the mirrors for a seamless door installation.
The owner requested Modesta BC-06 for the wheels and calipers.
WHY? Modesta BC-06 is a high heat-resistant coating able to withstand temperatures up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit. The coating prevents burning-hot brake dust from damaging the wheels and calipers. It also makes the wheels incredibly easy to clean.
The Results are Superior! The paint is protected and the PPF is coated, which provides years of hassle-free PPF maintenance. Here are some other benefits of this work:
The new GT3RS joined the party and Karim has to have a little fun with it. How does he get so high?
Thanks for checking out our work, guys. We truly appreciate your trust and can't wait to protect YOUR next ride!

The environment in which we work has a huge affect on the quality of work produced. For us, this means having two separate climate-controlled spaces to accommodate for spikes in heat and humidity. It means separating our high-end detailing services to prevent contamination in film and coating applications. Our Downtown Orlando studio is 5,600 sq. ft. of air conditioned space with 2,500 sq. ft. dedicated to clean PPF and coating applications.
We have an indoor wash bay with warm and deionized water. We utilize Rupes machines, LED overhead lighting, and Scangrip/LED portable lighting. We have a 4-post lift, scissor lift, and QuickJacks portable car lifts. Our spaces are separately outfitted with right LED lighting for the specific work being performed. We have CCTV security cameras inside and out, with 24-hr armed on-property security monitoring.
Come see why we are Superior!
