Vehicle: 2016 Ferrari 458 Speciale
Gyeon Quartz Certified Detailer: Detail Force, Inc Denver CO (www.DetailForce.com)
Project: Gyeon MOHS+ New Car Protection Package

So how bad can the finish on your brand new, $430k, custom ordered Ferrari 458 Speciale be when you finally take delivery?....well....very very bad.

An EXTENSIVE paint correction process was performed to repair all the damage done by an inexperienced high speed polisher user somewhere along the line. The defects in the paints finish were intense and robbing it completely of it's true color, depth, and gloss.

Once corrected, the Gyeon Quartz MOHS+ (Certified Detailers Only) Ceramic Coating system was installed for an incredible shine, long term protection, and the ability for the paint to shed water and contaminants very effectively to preserve the finish for years to come.

The Mohs+ system was then cured with our InfraRed curing lamps to achieve maximum gloss and hardness. What a huge turnaround on this very special project.

Along with the paint, Gyeon Quartz Rim was used to protect the wheels, Gyeon Quartz View on the Windshield and Glass, Gyeon Quartz Tire for the tires,and Gyeon Quartz LeatherCoat and Gyeon Quartz FabricCoat for the interior surfaces.

The Process:
1. A thorough wash using Gyeon Quartz Bathe
2. Medium Clay Bar Process to remove the Above Surface Bonded Contaminants from the finish with Gyeon Quartz Clay Lube and Medium Clay
3. A good soak in Gyeon Quartz Iron to remove the Below Surface Bonded Contaminants
4. Gyeon Quartz Iron is also used on the Wheels to remove all Iron Ferrous Particles and give them a deep clean
5. Tape all trim and possibly dangerous edges to protect them from polishes and machines during paint correction
6. Using the full range of Rupes Polishers we remove all swirls, holograms, buffer trials, and marring from the paints finish
7. Give the paint a thorough wipe down in Gyeon Quartz Prep to remove all polishing oils to ensure a pure surface for coating
8. MOHS+ Time!!! MOHS+ is only available through Gyeon Quartz Certified Detailers. To see a list of installers visit http://gyeonquartzusa.com/web/contact. MOHS+ utilizes a base coat and top coat system to provide incredible gloss and hardness, while creating the ability of the paints surface to SHEET water more than bead. This allows for increased protection from water spotting and chemical etching.
9. All Gyeon Certified Detailers use InfraRed Curing Lamps to get the most gloss and performance out of the system
10. While IR Curing is taking place we move on to the Wheels with Gyeon Quartz Rim
11. Gyeon Quartz View is installed on the windshield and glass to repel water very effectively during bad weather. Gyeon View is also a 2 part system where a bonding agent is applied to the glass prior to the actual SiO2 based coating. Very effective
12. Once the Wheels are done we move on to the interior with Gyeon Quartz LeatherCoat and Gyeon Quartz FabricCoat
