    As always... Roy's cars received the royal treatment!

    I was fortunate enough to drive the SVR back to the shop from Roy's... in the pouring rain. WOW!

    They do amazing work. And the feel of the paint when they're done. "Silky Smooth" :)

    PS: The Club's Dyno Day is coming up on Saturday March 8th and we would love to see you bring out one of your toys (Diablo GTR??)! Your SVR's dyno run last year sure was a crowd PLEASER.

    It's going to take place at Carb Connection in Kirkland and they have a brand new ALL WHEEL DRIVE dyno.

    Although, the drive from Portland to Seattle in the GTR was the most fun I've had alone since I got my first computer and internet! LOL I think my kidneys have finally recovered from that journey but that was AWESOME! I can say that the SVR is more comfortable than the GTR...especially on the freeway. And of course, putting fuel in the GTR takes some tricks learned at Cirque Du Solilei (sp) LMAO.

    Both cars are a BLAST to drive...that GTR at over 100 is enough to make you wet yourself...would LOVE to drive that one on a track one day...maybe PIR track day when the weather clears!!! WOOO HOOO.

    I'd be more than happy to drive either of them to the dyno for you. :)

    Wow, that looks great Roy. Did you have any of them Matrix coated when they did the detail?

    Don't let marketing gimmicks fool you. There is no such thing as a permanent sealant matrix-coating/Hyperseal/micro-coating/etc.

    It's no gimmick at all, actually quite amazing. I have had on several of my cars, some for two years, and it still beads water better than any wax or paint sealant, and I still haven't had to polish it. I'll let you know in another five, but I don't see it going anywhere. Have it done to your car kimcheebowl and I'm sure you'll be a believer too.

    Washing a car incudes scratches. No matter how careful anyone is. And the only way to truly remove paint imperfections (swirls/marring/scratches) is by polishing paint.

    The ultimate shine from paint is not just from a few applications of wax or sealant, it's from flawless paint. You must have both for the ultimate shine. I'd like to know more about this particular product. Do you have any other information on it? How much UV does it block? Does it protect against oxidation and fall-out/debris adhereing to the paint?

    Cheers,
    Jin

    PS: I'm a professional detailer.

    Well Jin, it dramatically hardens the varnish, not allowing minor wash scratches. It is a nanotechnology product that makes a molecular bond to the paint and forms a matrix, which is a very tight wound bond of a ceramic/silica like material. Waxes and paint sealants do not "bond" to the paint at all, therefore they are not permanent. This is just the information I got from my installer, but you can call Matrix and talk to John, he can explain it all to you. It's really a very different, yet innovative product. Their number is (800)773-3949

    I believe metropolitan detail in lynnwood offers this service, or at least did. I know Atomic 80 had his 997TT done there maybe he will chime in with his thoughts.

    Thanks Aaron for pointing this thread out. I do have the matrix nanocoating on mine and yes, I do believe that it works well. I admit that I was somewhat of a skeptic at first but after allowing them to work on mine, I'm a definite convert:

    Check out these pictures from the application process:

    http://jasontang.virtuality.org/997detail

    If you look at the last few pictures, you can see how "wet" the paint looks. This is how my car looks after every wash. I haven't had to apply any wax/polish since. I encourage anyone to give these products a try.

    Hey Atomic80, gorgeous car, I saw your car in Metropolitan Detail as it was being worked on. I love the wheels on there, they look great. I think they were installing Venture Shield?
