01 / Work
The record, not the gallery.
5 jobs · 12 frames · 4.2 µm max removed
A gallery shows you the best photograph of the best angle of the best car. A record shows you the reading. Below are five jobs, what came in, what we removed, and what we could not remove.
02 / The record
Five jobs, with what stayed.
5 records · 5 carry a “what stayed” line
We photograph the work, not the car. Customer vehicles and plates stay off this site. The frames show the operation; the record beside them carries the vehicle, the paint and the reading.

Finished · Multi-Stage Correction
Guards Red
2019 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring
Dealer-installed swirls plus a 300mm buffer trail across the deck lid. Multi-stage correction, 4.2 microns removed at the worst panel, Crystal Serum Ultra.
What stayed
Two rock chips through to primer on the nose. Below the clear coat; correction cannot reach them, and we said so before we started.
-
3 days · 2 rock chips
During · Two-Step Paint Correction
Pearl White
2021 Tesla Model 3
Soft factory paint, wash marring across every horizontal panel, two rock chips on the hood. Two-step correction, full-front PPF, 3-year coating.
What stayed
Soft paint. It will mar again on a bad wash — the coating slows that down, it does not stop it.
-
3 days · 140k miles
Defect · Clear coat etch
Blizzard Pearl
2015 Land Cruiser
140k miles, oxidized clear on the roof, tar down both rockers, dog hair welded into the third row. Full decon, two-step, interior extraction, wheels off.
What stayed
Oxidation on the roof edge where the clear had already failed. We stopped rather than cut through.
-
3 days · 9-year coating
During · Ceramic Coating
Amplify Orange
2023 Corvette C8
New from the dealer with delivery marring. One-step, full-front PPF, 9-year coating.
What stayed
Nothing. Under three thousand miles, and the honest answer was a one-step.
-
2 days · hail out of scope
Finished · Glass + Trim Coating
Declared out of scope in writing
2018 Ford Raptor
Cedar pollen etching, hail dimples (left alone — declared out of scope in writing), bed liner restore, ceramic on wheels and glass.
What stayed
Trim fade on the rear arches. Restorable, not repairable — it comes back in about eighteen months.

04 / Before and after
Before and after.
1 frame · 2 halves · 0 sliders
The split-panel frames: one half corrected, one half untouched, in a single photograph. It is the comparison detailers actually shoot, it needs no matched pair, and the divide is real rather than a slider handle that could be hiding a different photograph on each side.
Frames are labelled During or Finished for what they actually show. A comparison slider needs the same frame twice, shot under the same lighting — until those pairs exist this is a gallery, not a before and after, and it says so.
