Ferrari FF & CQuartz Finest

Here at the shop we all have different taste in what we enjoy most in terms of automobiles. From French classics to Japanese metal we all have our niche but there is one thing we can all agree on, the Ferrari FF is a truly impressive vehicle. It breaks with what some may see as a "traditional" Ferrari with its front engine, all-wheel drive layout (the first production four-wheel drive model for Ferrari) and goes even further with its gorgeous grand touring design by Pininfarina in collaboration with the Ferrari Style Centre. With elegant lines and a stunning, rich interior it very much so is a sight to behold. When we were tasked with giving this Nero 2012 model a renewed, rejuvenated appearance, along with some serious protection to keep it that way, we were thrilled to begin.

BMW X6 & CQuartz Coatings

The current generation BMW X6 is quite striking. There are many that hold strong opinions about this car as it represents a changing BMW line-up that is continually catering to a wider audience. Despite its crossover nature the X6 is a very attractive and well heeled CUV. This example came to us in dire need to intensive care and only a year old. Months of tunnel washes along with a trip to the dealership that left some unsightly paint touch-up work had this one looking older than its age. We set out to revive it inside and out with an intensive 2 step correction, two coats of CQuartz Classic on the body and wheel faces, along with serious interior care.

Audi S6: CQuartz Finest, Leather, & Fabric

The Audi S6 is truly an amazing automobile. With the most recent update, the C7 platform is powered by a 4-liter V8 engine force fed by two turbos in a "hot-v" configuration. Not only is it powerful but its unassuming exterior gives way to a truly luxurious cabin covered in leather. This particular example has been improved by the additions from Roc-Euro that include a complete Milltek exhaust system, an APR tune that truly brings the vehicle to the next level, and more! Naturally, we were excited when the owner came to us seeking robust interior and exterior protection to help protect his investment from the wear and tear of everyday life. 

This vehicle is intended to be a daily driver, subjected to all that the elements can throw at it, so our natural choice was our Level 1 Cquartz Finest package for the exterior, including a single step paint correction, along with our Level 3 Cquartz Leather and Fabric package which offers total protection for the interior.

Volvo 240DL & CQuartz UK

We are completely dedicated to creating the best possible results for any given vehicle. Some present unique challenges; like this Volvo 240. To bring back this paint surface we needed to focus on a few core tenants of what we do, preservation and preparation. This 1988 example in Medium Blue, a single stage paint color, was incredibly oxidized from over a decade of neglect. Single stage paint can be a serious challenge but we were up to the task of carefully restoring the clarity, depth, and gloss on this one.
