2025 Mustang GT — Track Pack Protection 🏁

This 2025 Mustang GT came to us as an ex-demo vehicle, so thorough surface preparation was essential before protection.

We carried out a full decontamination and paint preparation before installing XPEL Paint Protection Film, including our Track Pack coverage to protect the areas most exposed to stone chips and road wear.

To finish, the painted surfaces received an enhancement polish to restore gloss and clarity, followed by a ceramic coating for added protection and easier maintenance.

Protected, refined and ready to be driven.

Haines Hunter 545 — Ready for Summer ☀️🌊

This Haines Hunter 545 had started to show heavy oxidation, leaving the finish looking dull and lacking depth.

We worked through the oxidation to restore the depth, clarity and gloss, bringing the finish back to life and getting it ready for plenty of time on the water this summer.

Because summer is coming — time to get the boat looking the part. 🚤

1967 Mustang Fastback – Enhancement Detail

With older and previously repainted vehicles, knowing the paint you’re working with is critical. Thin edges, previous repairs and touch-ups all require a different approach to ensure defects are reduced without compromising the finish.

We carried out an enhancement machine polish to reduce light-to-moderate swirls and scratches whilst being cautious not to chase and compromise the finish.

We also removed the wheels and hand polished to complete the presentation.

Finished and ready for the car show this weekend. ✨

Subaru WRX – Paint Enhancement & Ceramic Coating

This WRX came in with moderate swirls and light scratches taking away from the finish.

We carried out an enhancement machine polish to significantly improve the paintwork, restoring clarity and gloss before finishing with a ceramic coating.

The result is a deeper, glossier finish with added protection and much easier maintenance washing.

Mustang Dark Horse – Track Pack Protection

We’ve had a fair few of these Mustang Dark Horses through the studio, and each one is a great example of how much can be done to protect a new vehicle from day one.

This one received our Track Pack, including a full roof wrap in PPF to protect the gloss black finish, along with a full vehicle ceramic coating and wheels-off ceramic coating for added protection and easier maintenance.

A combination designed to keep the Dark Horse looking sharp, while protecting the areas that take the most abuse.

1980 Range Rover – Preservation Detail

Not every detail is about chasing perfection. Sometimes it’s about preserving history.

This 1980 Range Rover came to us with aged paint, oxidation, flaking in places, and previous paint repairs. Our goal wasn’t to create a flawless finish, but to carefully revive the paintwork, restore as much colour and gloss as possible, and preserve its character for years to come.

With a careful approach to polishing, we reduced oxidation, enhanced the finish and helped protect the remaining paint without compromising its originality.

Every classic tells a story. Our job is to help preserve it.

Mustang GT – Paint Restoration & Ceramic Coating

Black paint has a way of showing every imperfection, and this Mustang GT was no exception. Time spent under a car cover had left the paintwork covered in light surface scratches and hazing, giving the finish a dull, white-washed appearance.

After a thorough wash and decontamination, we carried out multiple stages of machine polishing to remove the defects, refine the finish and restore the depth, clarity and gloss that black paint is known for.

To complete the transformation, the paintwork was protected with a ceramic coating, helping preserve the finish while making future maintenance washes safer and easier.

2026 Toyota Hilux – Built to Be Used. Protected to Stay Looking New.

This brand-new 2026 Toyota Hilux was protected with Paint Protection Film across the entire vehicle, excluding the bonnet and roof, giving the owner confidence to use it as intended without worrying about bush scratches and everyday wear.

To complete the package, we applied a ceramic coating, making ongoing maintenance quicker and easier while keeping the finish looking its best.

Whether it’s for work, weekends or the backcountry, protecting your vehicle from day one is one of the best investments you can make.
