Default Just had a full detail/paint correction on my Cayman R

[Cross posted from the Concourse and Car Care forum]

I just had a full paint correction/detail and clear bra install at Auto Concierge in Fremont, CA and I'm blown away by the results. Robert Willis is an absolute genius at paint correction and a complete perfectionist. It's no wonder that he's got a long line of high-end car owners lining up to get access to his services. Looking forward to getting my 993 in there for the spa treatment too! No affiliation with the shop other than a very satisfied customer.

Thanks to Rennlister bk_911 for turning me onto Robert.

A few pics...

Wow - that is nice! Any before shots and what stage correction did you do?

Curious as to how much does something like this set you back and also what type of clear protection did you put on it?

I'll post some 'before' shots shortly. I believe he used three stages of correction.

The paint protection film was done by Evan Renka of Pacific Auto Films using Suntek film. Evan partners with Auto Concierge and is in the Bay Area often to work on cars. I went for the 'race' kit which covers the entire front of the car, mirrors and rear fenders. I also had him do the rear wing, door cups and lower section of the doors to protect the 'Porsche' decal. I'll PM you the breakdown of the cost for the paint correction and clear film install.

That looks stunning!! The surface looks like glass! I wonder how often you would need to go through this process. With regular self-washing and detailing, you will pick up swirl marks and other blemishes gradually. And doesn't paint correction diminish the paint thickness? Though the result is spectacular, how frequently we could do this and what would be the long term effects?

He's the best in the area. Did you get a sealant or coating put on? Wax?

How long was your lead time to get an appointment?

Yes, a sealant was applied as well.

I waited about a month for an appointment.

Looks like I can't send you a PM, probably due to lack of posts.

PMs sent.

It took about a month to get my car in and it took about a week to complete the detail/film install.
