July was an excellent month for car shows in the greater Rochester area. The local weather was merciful with nearly no rain on show days and plenty of sun. We were involved in two fantastic annual local Rochester shows; ZCCR's Motorfest and the Joel Ajavon Memorial Car Show. Proceeds from both went to charity and had amazing turn-outs with a plethora of wonderful cars. We thank everyone who attended and helped to organize both of these events. It was a true privilege to be a sponsor and we met a lot of new friends along the way!

We've had an excellent summer thus far and we hope you have too! Our open house last month was a rousing success and we extend our thanks to all who attended. This month we're involved in a whole lot of events and we're running a special on our Basic Detail! On any size vehicle save 10% this month only! Any appointments booked in the month of July will also be honored for the discount. Our Basic Detail is really the ideal mid-summer clean up to get your vehicle looking great in no time. We're also sponsoring some amazing events this month.

We truly live in a golden age of horse power. Vehicles like the Dodge Challenger Hellcat, with its mind-bending 707hp, represent the new school of American muscle. The amount of from-factory power cars like this are delivering has never before been seen at such an attainable price point. Even average commuter vehicles are coming with significant power that would be unheard of even 10 years ago. Among the cars really pushing the limits  the Hellcat is special. Its incredibly high output has caused ripples among American OEMs who are now all cooking up their answers to this certifiably insane mopar machine. It will certainly be remembered favorably by history.

   This lovely 2015 Lexus RC 350 F-Sport came to us with only 19 miles on the clock. The owner wanted the infrared paint finish, which by itself is an exceptionally beautiful color, perfected and protected right off of the showroom floor. The vehicle itself is a new vision for a Lexus performance coupe that offers truly aggressive styling, excellent design, and a return to rear wheel drive.

   Our wash and wax special from April was such a huge success we decided to keep it on as a regular service! For just an additional $35 you can turn any hand wash (even if the hand wash is a complimentary part of the service) into a wash and wax special! The upgrade includes a chemical decontamination along with a durable silica-based sealant for shine and protection!

Enjoy all the 'after' shots of our pain-staking detail and coating installation on this lovely P85D. As a shop we constantly work to improve not only our process but our product offerings. We will never stop working to bring Rochester and the rest of western New York the absolute best in auto detailing products. Thanks for reading!

Here at the shop we are always working to continually improve our process and our products in order to consistently deliver the finest auto detailing experience western New York has to offer. To that end we are proud to announce that we will now carry Cquartz UK as our entry level paint coating. We already have brought excellent CarPro products to the Rochester area with other CQuartz offerings like Finest and after working with CQuartz UK we have been extremely pleased with results.

We are finally starting to settle into the swing of things at our new shop, located at 160 South Union Street. We have so much more capacity now and there are some awesome projects this month and in the coming months! Stop in to say hello and we'd be happy to give you a tour. 

This BMW traveled over three hours to come see us and we were truly humbled by that fact. Arete has really begun to develop a reputation even outside of our hometown of Rochester, NY. We are so honored to care for these out of town vehicles and its such a treat when they're as special as this M3 is to its owner. This particular example came to use for a single step of paint correction followed by installation of Car Pro's CQuartz Finest paint coating.

Spring is finally just around the corner and after this past February our cars have taken a beating. Now that we're all settled into our new shop at 160 S. Union Street we're ready to get back into the swing of things! We have so much more room than we used to and we cannot wait to fill it with cars and continue to bring the high quality car detailing and auto care you expect from us. We have some exciting stuff coming this week and beyond. Get ready for a fresh write-up of an awesome German machine next week as well!
