    Hi Guys, I am the lucky and happy customer from Hong Kong.
    My car was so sticky as I bought a garage queen in a humid climate.
    I had a full refinish of the car's sticky components (more than 20 pieces) and the quality of the service and the product is 1A.
    Now it's back to the garage and I hope the guys do a good job in reinstalling all the components without damage.
    Thanks for the good job Dave and let me know when you have a solution for that reverse button!!!

    Also, if someone can tell me how to remove the plastic luggage strips, Dave can do more work for me.

    Thank you, both - much appreciated :)


    So here is a video we did to help illustrate the different types of soft touch coatings being used.

    In the video we talk about the white of our refinished parts being brighter than OEM cleaned parts. However, we did not capture that well, but in person, the difference can be seen.

    PS - sorry, I talk with my hands and should not do that in videos ;)

    Dave,

    I am currently looking at 599's and every single one has at least a few sticky buttons or the graphics are worn off. You should drive from dealer to dealer and fix them all. Get you out of Buffalo for awhile.

    Troy, we are refinishing 599's like they are coming out of the woodwork ;)

    We have several sets in house right now :)

    Hi Joe,

    Nothing yet - it's a very low priority for us so it's at a stand still at this time.

    How could 599 reverse buttons be a low priority? You mean there aren't enough in need to support your business? :)

    Just saw this thread again so I figured I'd ask.

    Joe, the first step was 3D modeling the button - that is done.

    The next step was getting a flex agent for our coating - that is done. The material used for the button does not provide good coating adhesion so a new material must be selected and tested. Once that is done, we need to made a mold and them mold parts, coat them and laser.

    We have a list of perhaps 10 owners in need. Even at $200 per button (guessing on a price), that's still $2000.00. The development far exceeds that need and we are so busy it's tough to do it all.

    Also, not all 599's have rubber buttons - many have hard plastic and we refinish those :)

    I was being facetious - totally understand the low priority. Hopefully it makes it into production one of these days.

    Thanks Dave,
    Joe
