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.

  1. A deck lid photographed after multi-stage correction 4 days · 4.2 µm removed
    Corrected paint returning a sharp reflection of a building 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.

    ThenCeramic Coating — 9 Year

    Duration4 days

    Removed4.2 µm

    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.

  2. A gloved hand brushing the face of a wheel 3 days · 2 rock chips
    A detailer machine-polishing a door panel with a dual-action polisher 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.

    ServiceTwo-Step Paint Correction

    ThenPPF — Full Front

    Duration3 days

    What stayed

    Soft paint. It will mar again on a bad wash — the coating slows that down, it does not stop it.

  3. A roof and a rocker photographed after decontamination 3 days · 140k miles
    Macro of clear coat carrying fine scratching and etch marks 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.

  4. A front end wrapped in protection film 3 days · 9-year coating
    Gloved hand levelling coating across a panel with an applicator pad 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.

  5. A load bed and wheels photographed after ceramic work 2 days · hail out of scope
    Water beading across a coated door and mirror in daylight Finished · Glass + Trim Coating

    Declared out of scope in writing

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.
