Trip to Revolve Automotive

[Stutopia]

Usually I like to get my hands dirty when it comes to keeping my car clean, but sometimes a job needs indoor space and professional skills, way beyond my own. I've known Paul at Revolve for a few years via a 350z club and a while back he struck out to follow his passion for detailing. I have been watching his work online ever since. After letting him practice on lesser marques like Maserati, Aston Martin and Ferrari, I've been looking forward to having the right job to send his way.

 

I wasn't expecting perfect paint when I purchased on a 6 year old black car, but one of my first visits to the petrol station revealed just how bad things were.

 

 

As well as correcting this horrorshow, I also booked in to have some protection applied and a "little" job that's been on my list for a while. I've never really liked the black badges, I know it's part of the whole GTS thing, so apologies if I offend anyone, but I personally think badges need a contrast. Black letters on other colours looks great, but on black, it doesn't work for me. So, I secured some genuine Porsche bits and then expertly gave them to Paul to sort out

 

First the easy bit.

 

 

Then the template.

 

 

All done.

 

 

I'm super pleased with the result. I know chrome is not for everyone, but it is literally the only non-black part of the whole car, so I think it's not too bling. The spacing and alignment are absolutely spot on.

 

 

Onto the paint. As you can see, he had his work cut out.

 

 

But he was more than match for the hard Porsche paint. Two stages of correction has given it a beautiful depth, removed all the minor marks and a lot of the big ones too. Where they've not been eliminated, they've been softened so much as to make them almost unnoticeable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also the wheels came off for some love and protection on them and the callipers too.

 

 

He even cleansed the leather and alcantara, leaving a layer of protection inside and a little signature.

 

 

He also stocked me up on the good stuff from Envy. I am a big fan of all the Envy products I have used to date, not tried Iron Awe yet so looking forward to that.

 

 

As well as the Envy gear, I left with some SC-MIST to keep the ceramic protection topped up. As well as making her look almost perfect, Paul's done his best to lock it in with a couple of layers of Envy Futureproof+. I'm impressed just by the gloss and I hope I'll be the same for many months to come, perhaps even years.

 

After all that, now for the glamour. She came up alright.

 

 

 

 

 

Looking ever better outside in the sunshine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Delighted doesn't come close to how please I am with the outcome. From following Revolve Automotive on Facebook for years, I had really high expectations but Paul's manage to surpass them with his skill. It's almost a different colour, much more like the 'Jet' black that Porsche call this shade. On top of doing amazing work on the car, the process of booking in, discussing what work was needed, talking through options for coatings, agreeing a price and even throwing in a lovable courtesy car - the whole service was superb and I'm really, really pleased. If you want to do something special for your pride & joy, and you're within a couple of hours of Chester, I can't think of many better ideas.

This is something my car is crying out for at the moment, but for me I think it's a job for the Spring.

That’s a stunning finish on a gorgeous machine 🤩

 

ive got mine booked in to a Detailer near me in March for a deep clean and detail, 3-stage correction and ceramic re-coat incl wheels, calipers, interior.  I’m hoping he can make my 11 year old paintwork ‘pop’ like yours does. 🤞
