230 Don Park Road, Unit 3, Markham Off of Woodbine, between Steeles and Hwy 407. Complete directions on the website. They do tinting for the Lexus and Madza dealership by them. They only use Llumar tint. Great guys, very down to earth, and they do a great detailing job! I paid $200 cash, and it was as good as a BMW dealership would do. Tell them that Rocky with the white BMW 535 reccomended you! |

First, pictures.... 2001 BMW 540i 14-hour paint correction (finished at 11 pm, excuse the lack of sun shots) No official words yet from the client, but he loved the job. Said he was considering a repaint before he called me. https://i202.photobucket.com/albums/...04/540i003.jpg https://i202.photobucket.com/albums/...04/540i017.jpg ?...did an awesome job? Rick, 1971 Corvette Stingray https://i202.photobucket.com/albums/...01stingray.jpg "He spent a good day on the car and now its practically perfect!" John Creplinka, 2005 BMW 330ci ZHP https://i202.photobucket.com/albums/...M330ZHP017.jpg ?I was amazed at the work. The car looked better than it had in years.? Ami Jacobson, 2004 Mazda 3 https://i202.photobucket.com/albums/.../mazda3004.jpg 1) I perform all the work entirely myself. There are no $10/hr employees. This means you will only receive work that is of the highest order. 2) Your satisfaction is guaranteed. I have only had one unsatisfied client in the time I have been in business. Her car? A 1999 Ford Taurus. Yeah... 3) Apollo Detailing is a mobile detailing business. The work can be completed entirely at your home as long as you have a supply of electricity and a garage (a shaded area is acceptable, also). I can go on for hours about why you should choose us but this is a good reference: http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/aos/796476419.html I can be reached at 647.379.3706 |

This was totally a coincidence that two e39 M5s came in for a 2 stage polish + Opti Coat Pro. They had both booked on the same day so I ended up doing the write up on both cars at the same time which is a first and was quite interesting to do. I was very happy with the out come on both cars as were the owners so enjoy seeing the process and final pics!

A long time customer recently purchased this new 4 GTS from Pfaff and wanted to get the paint protected asap. Well after 1000km in it finally came.
I must say this is one of the most beautifulest 991s we have done this year and we had a great time working on it and admiring all the little details put together on this 4 GTS. Paint wasn't in bad shape so just a quick 1 stage polish and then protected with Opti Coat Pro. Enjoy!

This was a US 996 Turbo with very low mileage, to be honest I forget but I'm pretty sure it was around 30000km. Paint wasn't that bad but some of the swirls were a little deeper so a 2 stage polish was needed to correct the paint. As usual with most cars we do nowadays it was protected afterwards with Opti Coat Pro.
Hope you like the pics!

Now I am window shopping for a 996 Turbo S or 996 GT2 hahahaha. |

I love this e46 M3! Laguna Seca Blue on Laguna Seca Blue seats and navi! What more could you ask for.
The shine on this M3 was still great but the swirls in the sun was annoying the client and he wanted to get as much of the swirls out as possible. We ended up doing a 2 stage polish which brought the paint condition to about a 9 out of 10 minus the deeper scratches. Hope you enjoy the pics as much as we enjoyed polishing this one!

Very good client contacted me regarding a 2 stage polish + Opti Coat Pro on his recently purchased Lp640.
We had tried to schedule an appointment prior to this one but due to rainy weather we had to reschedule and he mentioned that maybe he was considering postponing the detail until the springtime, which is understandable. Luckily :D... he had a change of heart and we were able to schedule a date where the weather worked in our favour! So in to the shop it came! As usual, the arrival pic Attachment 153064 After cleaning the wheels, 2 Bucket Method wash, and clay bar, we masked the rubber trim Attachment 153066 Next up was to take measurements of the paint with our special paint depth gauge which measures via ultrasound due to a few panels not being made of steel or aluminium. This gauge is not cheap at all and costed us $3000 Attachment 153068 These are the results of the 1st stage of polishing Before Attachment 153070 After(did I mention that solid black is a pain in the a**?!) Attachment 153072 Headlights & Taillights were polished as well Before Attachment 153074 After Attachment 153075 2nd stage of polishing was completed and then an alcohol wipe down to remove the polishing oils. Finally Opti Coat Primer applied to prepare for the Opti Coat Pro application Attachment 153077 Tape removed and little details such as removing polish with a tooth pick from the edge of the stone guard was performed Attachment 153079 And finally the star of the show, Opti Coat Pro Attachment 153081 A shot in the sun to show no more swirls in the paint Attachment 153083 All in all minus some deeper scratches which I suspect may have been from people leaning on the car for pics and the fact that it is solid black, I would say we got the paint condition to about an 8.5/9 out of 10. Here are the results Attachment 153085 I love reflection pics Attachment 153086 Attachment 153087 The lens flare pointing at the car is pretty cool Attachment 153088 And the last pic to finish the walk around Attachment 153089 Hope you enjoyed the pics!!! |

We had spoken to this client while we were polishing the 991 GT3 in Vancouver. He had a few vehicles he was taking delivery of and wanted to protect them all with Opti Coat Pro.
This was the Golf R that literally came directly from the dealership. It had very light swirling and a 1 stage polish was all that was needed to clean it up.

We had spoken to this client a few weeks prior to this detail and he had actually referred a Bentley to us earlier in the spring.
The car was fairly new and well taken care of so the paint was not in bad shape at all. A 1 stage polish was all that was needed to clean up the light swirls which then was protected with Opti Coat Pro afterwards.

This GT-R came in for a promotion we were having in January. I spoke briefly to the client about a few areas of concern over the phone and then we both agreed that weather permitting it would come in for a 2 stage polish + Opti Gloss Coat. Luckily everything worked out and surprisingly the client didn't live to far away from the shop.

Had a chance to asses this S5 last year but due to scheduling on both our ends things didn't pan out. But this year the client wanted to get it done before our busy season hit so in it came for March and received our 2 stage polish with Opti Gloss Coat as protection.
Arrival Attachment 152470 Cleaning the wheels while we had a chance to chat with the customer while he waited for his ride Attachment 152472 Claybarring the paint http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps88ff5set.jpg Masking off the rubber trim Attachment 152473 Measuring the paint and found no panels that were repainted Attachment 152474 The paint was in pretty rough shape so we had to hit it with a compound for the 1st stage before Attachment 152475 after (as you can see the compound removed the swirls but left a haze behind due to it's aggressiveness) Attachment 152476 After the 1st stage we refined the paint with a lighter cutting polish on the 2nd stage to remove the haze as well as leave a deep gloss before Attachment 152476 after Attachment 152478 After all the polishing was completed we began the finishing prep Removing the masking tape Attachment 152479 And cleaning polish that had gotten in the parking sensors with a tooth pick Attachment 152480 Then protected the new finish with Opti Gloss Coat which lasts for 2 years Attachment 152481 And here are the final shots.

One of the first M2's delivered in the GTA we had done this back in the early spring.
Client informed us that he was expecting delivery and was interested in protecting it right away with Opti Coat Pro. We advised that the dealer not wash the car but remove the plastic to insure no damage underneath. Day of delivery in it came straight from the dealer. Paint wasn't bad at all just some very light swirls that we polished out with a 1 stage polish.

In it finally came last week for 3 layers of Opti Coat Pro+ but, the paint had a little bit of issues and required a 2 stage polish especially for the lower parts of the doors.

Long time client brought in his e30 M3 Evo Sport. It had been imported earlier this year but sat in storage for a few months before it made it's way over to us, hence it looking quite dusty in the first pic.
Once brought over client said "give it whatever it needs". After the initial wash we came to the realization that it had already been paint corrected and coated most likely by the previous owner. So we decided to just give it a Basic In & Out detail. Hope you enjoy the pics on this rare classic!
