Lightroom Shots from my Detailing Studio!

[macdude]

Hello everyone! Sorry that I've not been updating as we've been inundated with cars for quite some time. Been meaning to share updates but frankly juggling between that and family time has been a tad difficult. That's hopefully gonna change now that the schedule has relaxed a little!

Here's a hello from the "batcave" a nickname our clients gave us on account of the kind of cars hidden inside *hehe*

This is an inside peek at Project 360 Restore, a meticulous restoration and detailing project for a car collector here that begins from the inside out!

:wow: Awesome cars!

Wheels play a big part of what we consider to be the perfect detail. So we take our wheels detailing pretty seriously. Each bolt that locks the wheel hub are individually detailed to ensure that they match an equally well-detailed wheel.

We spend typically 1-2 days to get the wheels detailed to a showcar finish.

Perfection at it's peak!

What kind of steamer is that? Of course, I could ask a zillion questions, and you'd have no family time at all ha ha.

1-2 days on the wheels?!?!?

1-2 days on the wheels?!?!?

Yup 1-2 days on average for a set of moderately used condition wheels. I place as much importance on the inner barrel as the spokes on the outside. In some cases where the wheels have been neglected, more extreme measure are taken. I'll show you a set of wheels which took us 2 weeks to restore.

Here's a couple of shots of a bespoke set of Koenigg Specials on a Ferrari 575 Maranello used heavily for track days.

Even the inner wheel core has severe rust...

Brake-dust have bedded into the original chrome finish...

The photos are self-explanatory:

Watch how it transforms after two-weeks under a specialized detailing regiment:

Absolutely perfect!

Those are daylight-balanced fluorescent tubes with high-powered metal-halides to check for micro-marring and other imperfections

We've been pretty packed with detailing classic cars for an upcoming concours event at the end of the year. This includes a pair of Jaguar E-Type collectibles...

 

[Flash Gordon]

Unreal! I guess I should just quit now

Is that an old parking garage you've transformed into your studio

 

[mchess1]

I'm as flabbergasted as the rest of them, but I really, really envy your photography room. Makes for some amazing photos!

if i ever own a shop you are my idol on how i want my detail shop to look. what i find is insane is you get to touch cars that are under wraps to the general public.one day i will have a sweet shop and no longer will need to sweat/freeze my chaps off while doing something i love to do.
