I had a Jerez Black E92 M3 he did for me and the finished product looked good until I noticed that the factory clear coat started peeling. Not only was the product shit so was his service and workmanship. Ruined my 3M, burnt the paint off the bottom of my door handles from running a polisher too close and too long on the handles. Looks like hes out of business now and still owes me a refund for the 3M replacement!
    ouch such kind words. Yes Shine Revolution is closed as we were having tremendous problems with restorkoat. Factory clear coat wont peel, what you are seeing is Restorkoat peeling. I recall we paid for a new cut polish on your M3 which costed $800+ to another detailer to have it removed? As for the 3M, we have been stating that we will replace it for you...I just never heard back. But if it's bothering you still, we will compensate you back for it.

    Restorkoat peeling does not happen to all vehicles. Restorkoat is just another brand for hand applied clear coat. There are ClearFX, Restor-FX and X-Kote.

    We may not had been the best back then but we took responsibility of the mistakes that we our staff had made.

    For those who are worried about the peeling. well one thing for sure its RR and not your factory clear that's peeling. Wetsanding with 2000grit and then polish will fix the problem. The more severe ones will require you to do 1500grit, 2000grit then 3000grit. Finishing off with a 3000grit just helps so it's easier to polish off the sand marks. What cause the peeling, we don't know. I have gotten all kinds of answer from the manufacturer so I won't comment there.

    Is there a chance the clearcoat will bend?

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    A Ferrari is a high maintenance chick, you spend money regardless of what you do with her. You can baby the C63, or slap on all seasons, and you won't be spending anything but yearly maintenance. Of course that's like dating a stripper and refusing to fuck her, which would make you gay.
