Everything is important. Excellence isn’t loud. It whispers from the corners, the edges, and the details most people don’t see. These tenets of how I view my work and my business are proudly seen on every car I do. Some more than others. But no car I have ever done is more exemplary of these philosophies than this one, the Ferrari 599 GTO. While a lot of my work revolves around restorative cleaning and refinishing, sometimes I get an opportunity to take a clean car to a whole other level. With an ownership history consisting of racing royalty, this car has a history far beyond garage time and Cars and Coffee. My customer wanted a full cleaning and refresh of every surface, so no stone was left unturned. Every underbody surface was protected with Modesta BC-06, including the suspension, brake calipers, hubs, brake shields, exhaust parts, and wheels themselves. BC-06 was also used to coat and protect everything under the hood, leaving a factory looking finish that will easy to clean for years of ownership. For this post, I wanted to show the fine details more than just the car. Everything was clean, everything was impressive, but the small touches and details really defined what made this particular job special. - - - - - - - - - * Dry Ice Cleaning * Undercarriage Restoration * Alcantara Restoration - - - - - - - - - DM or Call for an Appointment 📱 972-971-2208 📧 jonathan@subzerodetail.com #ferrari #599GTO #dryicecleaning #modesta #subzerodetail taken in Rockwall, Texas by @subzerodetail

I was a Valet in College in Santa Barbara when I drove my first Porsche. It was a questionably maintained G-Body Carerra, and between the floor mounted clutch that I wasn’t accustomed to, and the rough idle, it was a challenge. Considering the reputation of these cars, it didn’t live up to the image I had in my head. Then I drove a brand new 997 Turbo. It had just come out, and it was light years different than the air-cooled car I had driven before. The clutch, the shifter feel, the steering; it didn’t take a whole lot to see this was something special. Since that day, more than 20 years ago, the 997 has been my favorite 911. This Signal Orange 997 Turbo came to me courtesy of @porsche_plano. While Paint To Sample cars are pretty common in the Porsche scene today, in the days of the 997 it was rare. Really rare. Given the mileage and the fantastic condition of this car, I knew I was in for something spectacular. This was a really special project. It really did look like a zero mile car. I think the pictures speak for themselves. Thanks again to @porsche_plano for the opportunity to work on something this special, and with this much potential. - - - - - - - - - * Dry Ice Cleaning * Undercarriage Restoration * Alcantara Restoration - - - - - - - - - DM or Call for an Appointment 📱 972-971-2208 📧 jonathan@subzerodetail.com #porsche997 #997turbo #dryicecleaning #signalorange #luftgekuhlt taken in Rockwall, Texas by @subzerodetail

I have a lot of high end detailers as followers, so I am interested on everyone’s take on this. Ultra Nerdy Detail Theory: What is the most important trait necessary for a truly high end detail? What separates a good from great? Not cleanliness. Not gloss or shine. It’s not the products you use, what finishes or protection, what brands of cleaners or dressing or towels. Those things help, but what separates the end product of a truly high end detailer from the rest is consistency. Consistency controls what everyone looks at, it determines what they see. Our eyes are great at finding flaws. Spots and smudges and lines and scratches all stand out; not because they are flaws in themselves but because they disrupt the consistency of the finish. Going further, some finishes feel more natural and correct than others. If things like interior surfaces or tires are too glossy, our eyes are attracted to them, but for the wrong reason. Something is off. So here, that consistency doesn’t just mean flawless, it also means that it matches or meets your mental expectations. With an all aluminum chassis and aluminum suspension covered with an all carbon body, this 1 of 3 Shelby Series 1 offered some unique challenges. While dry ice is great for removing oil and dirt and other contaminants, what was holding this car back was tarnished and uneven finishes. It was a lack of consistency. This one took a different skill set than most of what I normally work on. I think that is why I enjoyed it so much. - - - - - - - - - * Dry Ice Cleaning * Undercarriage Restoration * Alcantara Restoration - - - - - - - - - DM or Call for an Appointment 📱 972-971-2208 📧 jonathan@subzerodetail.com #Shelby #shelbyseries1 #dryicecleaning #undercarriagerestoration #dryice taken in Rockwall, Texas by @subzerodetail

Being in Dallas, I am incredibly fortunate to work on an incredibly diverse array of cars. The exposure to diverse machinery has made me really well rounded on projects like this, which require a delicate touch. An incredibly original car, this 1971 Pontiac GTO 455 HO needed a balanced and researched approach to yield the correct result. This customer wanted a full dry ice cleaning, and updated finishes on the underbody, so the car was more durably and consistently protected; doing this right means the car doesn’t look unoriginal or over restored. It’s a fine line to walk, but I think we nailed it here. With a specific eye on a chassis and suspension rejuvenation in the spirit of the OEM finishes, the full chassis, drivetrain, and suspension was dry ice cleaned before the frame, suspension, rear axle, and front subframe were repainted with chassis paint. Since these parts and surfaces were originally only coated in a temporary undercoating from the factory, the chassis paint mimicked the original finish in texture and sheen, while offering a considerably more durable and maintenance friendly finish. All the factory paint markings and notations were retained from the original chassis, leaving it looking like an assembly line fresh example. - - - - - - - - - * Dry Ice Cleaning * Undercarriage Restoration * Alcantara Restoration - - - - - - - - - DM or Call for an Appointment 📱 972-971-2208 📧 jonathan@subzerodetail.com taken in Rockwall, Texas by @subzerodetail

Admittedly, I do a lot of Jeeps. With @thedenniscollins as a valued customer, it obviously comes with the territory. However, none of my previous Jeep experience prepared me for what I had in store here. This Jeep was something entirely different. With exceptional performance minded attention to detail, this Jeep Trackhawk featured billet and forged everything along with copious amounts of boost to make a “conservative” 1400hp. On low boost. It had no exhaust at all. It shook everything in my shop. It was awesome. It was clear this beast had been used properly, brake dust and dirt were everywhere. But the owner of this monster wanted that mechanical attention to detail to extend to everything else, so a true undercarriage cleaning was in order. This was much more of a cleaning and detail than a restoration, but with something of this age that’s to be expected. Still, a fantastic result that left every inch of this thing looking as awesome as it sounded. - - - - - - - - - * Dry Ice Cleaning * Undercarriage Restoration * Alcantara Restoration - - - - - - - - - DM or Call for an Appointment 📱 972-971-2208 📧 jonathan@subzerodetail.com #dryicecleaning #undercarriagerestoration #jeeptrackhawk #dryicecleaningdallas #subzerodetail taken in Rockwall, Texas by @subzerodetail

Some projects have an unforeseen destiny. For this customer, the pictures and video I sent them are all they have left. Pictures on the screen and unfulfilled dreams in their heart, of a car they never got to enjoy. The car shipped out after a week with me and a week with Kody at @iconautomotive_grapevine to Florida for this customer. It went to a shop for a fluid change before final delivery, and the shop burned to the ground with his car inside. He never saw it. He never drove it. I tell a lot of people that you have to really see a finished car in person to take it all in, pictures don’t do it justice. I want my work to be admired and enjoyed. Not just initially, but every time a customer looks a little deeper. Knowing that pictures are all this guy got just breaks my heart. His gorgeous 997.2 Carerra GTS was impeccably clean. It received a complete disassembly cleaning, with removal of headlights, taillights, and bumpers, to get every possible nook and cranny cleaned and refreshed. All interior alcantara surfaces were cleaned and refreshed, including the steering wheel, seat inserts, door panels, and headliner. It got top to bottom ceramic protection on the full undercarriage from @Modesta, and fresh PPF from Kody @iconautomotive_grapevine. Then, it was unwillingly given a Viking Funeral by the Car Gods. RIP pretty girl. You went to the grave with no dirty secrets and no panels unclean. - - - - - - - - - * Dry Ice Cleaning * Undercarriage Restoration * Alcantara Restoration - - - - - - - - - DM or Call for an Appointment 📱 972-971-2208 📧 jonathan@subzerodetail.com #dryicecleaning #porsche #carerraGTS #porsche997 #MaverickPCA taken in Rockwall, Texas by @subzerodetail

The OEM Porsche Slant Nose Turbo is a pretty rare thing. There are lots of mimics out there, but few real ones. Of those real ones, few are low mileage and mega clean, so when you get one, you take notice. After a recent glass-out respray from @stuartspaintandbody , this fantastic example came to me to take its mid-life transformation all the way. When the first customer comment is “You clearly take pride in your work”, I think the job is done. Every inch of this was cleaned and freshened as much as possible. All the factory details like paint marks and original belly pan overspray were maintained, highlighting the amazing condition of this special car. Things are only original once, so knowing your car and history, understanding what makes that originality matter, and carefully executing what’s necessary on a special car like this, separates good from great. Everything is Important. Thanks to Tim at Red Car, this fantastic owner, and @stuartsingerofficial for giving me this fantastic opportunity and amazing head start on this special machine. Non-April Fools Update: Updates and posts may be few and far between, but I’m here and I’m busy every day. I am just not great at sharing. If you have a project you want more than clean, but brought back to its showroom fresh condition, I’m here. - - - - - - - - - * Dry Ice Cleaning * Undercarriage Restoration * Alcantara Restoration - - - - - - - - - DM or Call for an Appointment 📱 972-971-2208 📧 jonathan@subzerodetail.com #porsche #luftgekuhlt #930turbo #dryicecleaning #aircooled taken in Rockwall, Texas by @subzerodetail

I had a customer reach out recently who is looking to do a light underbody restoration on a Shelby GT500KR. It’s an all original, 2 owner car, and the new (2nd ever) owner wants to do a light refresh while maintaining the originality and integrity of the car. It reminded me of this ORIGINAL OWNER 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS I did a while back. While this car has had a repaint and light restoration, the underbody hadn’t been touched. It needed a good cleaning, and I refinished all the raw steel components like the front subframe, front suspension, cross members, rear suspension, and rear axle. With an eye on longevity, the refinishing was done with Dinitrol 445, a rock chip protection and undercoating that leaves a really great satin and smooth finish. Protecting these components in a similar fashion to the OEM dipped undercoating, which had long since failed, maintained that spirit of originality on the car, but refreshed it cosmetically while providing a significantly more advanced level of protection. With the mix of dry ice cleaning and restorative options, 90% of the look and effectiveness of a full restoration can be accomplished at a fraction of the cost, all while keeping the car fully assembled and maintaining that original and unrestored quality. Like, Tag, Share, Follow. Let me know if you have any questions on something similar. For owners of original, rare, classics, this is a fantastic option. - - - - - - - - - * Dry Ice Cleaning * Undercarriage Restoration * Alcantara Restoration * Underbody Ceramic Coating - - - - - - - - - DM or Call for an Appointment 📱 972-971-2208 📧 jonathan@subzerodetail.com #dryicecleaning #subzerodetail #coldjet #camaro #chevroletcamaro #camaroRS #undercarriagerestoration #dryiceblasting #dryicecleaningdallas taken in Rockwall, Texas by @subzerodetail

Everyone has seen these around and is familiar with them to some extent, but not many know the fine details of what makes these giant vehicles special. Built and designed primarily for Military purposes, the level of overkill on the frame and suspension and drivetrain setup is beyond anything else I have worked on. It was fun to clean and restore and highlight a lot of these unique components, especially because few people will get to see them in a detailed fashion, not caked in grease and mud and dirt. This was a real challenge. It’s hard to get on a lift. It’s hard to clean without losing a lot of original finishes. The striking red really made the end result here just spectacular. Definitely a fun project. Like. Share. Follow. Tell your friends.

It’s strange how the universe lumps things together. Cars come to me in waves, I’ve never been sure why. Whether it is square body trucks, Jeeps (duh), Shelbys, Corvettes, Supras, or Porsches, once one or two show up, more seem to materialize from the ether. This year, it has been about 930 Porsches. While Porsche is always a thing here, the 930 in particular has been of note lately; I think I have done 10 this year so far. 
Cherished for its originality, but not its lifetime accumulation of grease and dirt, the car came from Georgetown, TX to finish its metamorphosis. With fantastic original paint markings and factory overspray patterns, this car’s cherished history was evident once it was clean. Cars of this condition are fun to work on, because they are an opportunity to really chase how good they can be. Even at 40+ years old, Porsche quality simply stands out and holds up. With this car I lightly touched up the fender wells with the factory color as well as small blemishes on suspension parts, but otherwise it was all about cleaning every seam and surface to return it to as close of a factory fresh condition as possible. Thank You to everyone who shares my stuff and pushes my presence through the ether so it can find like minds, you guys keep things rolling through my doors and I’m grateful. Share this too. It helps.

In an effort to get caught up with the crazy backlog of posts I need to make, here’s something I don’t do as often as I thought I would: something newer. When I started this business, I figured a significant customer base would come from people that wanted a vehicle refresh. The concept I concept I came up with was “Assembly Line Clean.” Low mile, well kept enthusiast cars bought second hand can be made brand new again, as clean as they were off the assembly line. I don’t get to do it often, but I enjoy it when I do. Here’s a fantastic example from this last April. This Lexus RC-F was in an absolutely spellbinding color, INFRARED. It’s highly metallic and looked just incredible. The underbody of this car was dirty from 20k miles of normal driving, but the high quality Toyota finishes really held up. After a thorough cleaning, complete exhaust refresh and muffler refinishing, and aluminum cleaning and brightening, the car left in a better than new condition. Finished off with a full wheel and underbody ceramic coating, it was refreshed and protected for its new life with its new owner. - - - - - - - - - * Dry Ice Cleaning * Undercarriage Restoration * Alcantara Restoration * Underbody Ceramic Coating - - - - - - - - - DM or Call for an Appointment 📱 972-971-2208 📧 jonathan@subzerodetail.com #dryicecleaning #subzerodetail #coldjet #obsessedgarage #lexusRCF #undercarriagerestoration #dryiceblasting #dryicecleaningdallas taken in Rockwall, Texas by @subzerodetail
