Default Murdered Out Black

Against everyone's recommendation I purchased a black turbo. Loved the way it looked but when I got it home noticed all the swirl marks and keeping it clean was impossible - drove me bat sh@*t crazy!! I spent a few months researching my options, talking to different exotic car dealers and car enthusiasts and after a long search found the Dynamic Duo of Paint Correction and Protection. Below are pictures of my car before and after - its like day and night! I used Eddy Fiuza for paint correction and Pepi Feliu (AutoSuperShiled) for Paint Protection. They are miracle workers!! If you are seeking help for your car go to these guys - they are based in Boca Raton. They do amazing work and I have never seen a more impressive resume of cars (LaFerrari, FXX, McLaren, Lamborghini

Nice job!

I think though there is nothing to beat the look of a fully cleaned and polished black car, it's a bear to get and keep it there!

I'm curious:

how many miles on the car when you handed it in for the treatment?

exactly what Black is this, metallic? non-metallic?

what PPF did they use, XPEL?

how long did the whole job take?

thanks!

I have had the car for 9 months and have 5k miles on it but its garaged and never left outside
Regular black
Whole job took 5 days (3 paint correction and 2 paint protection)
If you own a black car and want that mirrored look in the paint this is the only way to get it...
PS: not only do they do good work but they are both super nice guys!

i've been reading about the pros and cons of getting correction and protection done as part of a european delivery (thinking TTS in Metallic Black); your 5 days--which seems about right when one looks at the work required--makes one wonder about the one-day turnaround at some of the PPF shops discussed in the ED forums

Eddy is amazing pepi does good work but he is MUCH more expensive than even others in the area that do at LEAST as good a job as he does. Usually u pay for what u get works...but thankfully down here in south Florida we have MANY people that I can think of that do superior or at least as good a job for 20% less and thats a LOT of money
glad they worked it out for you
BTW my 19 TTS cab in incoming and I know who will be doing my work
anyone interested inbox me

I had a black Audi at one time. The only way I would ever have another black car would be to get a full correction and then get it completely covered in PPF. I hate chips and I hate swirls and halos. My car now is metallic white and I just had the entire car covered in paint protection film. Even my last car which was dark blue, I have covered completely.

Great job the car looks fantastic.

Thanks everyone, super happy with the result and the splattered bug clean from the nose of the car is much easier now...
