At Flatirons Detailing, we understand that exotic cars, supercars, and hypercars are not just vehicles; they’re masterpieces of engineering and design. Detailing these automotive marvels requires a level of precision, expertise, and passion that goes beyond ordinary car care. The distinctive blend of our background in chemistry paired with our enthusiasm for automotive culture allows us to redefine the standards of mobile detailing. In this article, we’ll delve into the intricacies of detailing these high-performance machines, the specialized tools and techniques we employ, and our unwavering commitment to treating each vehicle with the utmost respect and care.
Understanding the Difference: Exotics, Supercars, Hypercars
Exotic cars, supercars, and hypercars represent the pinnacle of automotive excellence, boasting unparalleled performance, advanced technology, and stunning aesthetics. While the distinctions between these categories can be subtle, they each have unique characteristics that set them apart:
Exotic Cars: Exotic cars are known for their rarity, exclusivity, and exceptional craftsmanship. They often feature cutting-edge design elements, luxurious leather-abundant interior, and high-performance engines. We consider most GT vehicles from manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls Royce, and Maserati to be exotic vehicles. (150k-450k)
Supercars: Supercars are characterized by their extreme speed abilities, agility, and aerodynamic styling. These vehicles push the boundaries of automotive engineering and are designed to deliver an exhilarating experience. We consider vehicles from manufacturers such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren to be supercars, with the exception of the plethora of Super-SUVs that are currently on the market. (200k-550k)
Hypercars: Hypercars represent the pinnacle of automotive performance and innovation. They combine advanced engineering, lightweight materials, and groundbreaking technology to achieve unparalleled levels of speed and performance. We consider vehicles from manufacturers such as Bugatti, Koenigsegg, and Pagani to be hypercars, with some brands such as Ferrari boasting vehicles such as the LaFerrari. (750k-5m)
The Flatirons Approach: Precision, Passion, Respect
At Flatirons, we are enthusiasts ourselves, and we understand the deep connection between owners and their exotic vehicles. That’s why we approach each detailing project with the same level of precision, passion, and respect that we would if the vehicle were our own. Detailing an exotic car requires specialized tools, products, and techniques to ensure every surface is treated with the care it deserves. We utilize the latest advancements in detailing technology including compressed air, water-based chemicals, dry-steam, and foaming interior cleaners. We utilize the two-bucket method for every contact wash, or hand-wash, to ensure contaminants that are dense and abrasive will sink into the grit-guards and out of our plush microfiber mitts. When cleaning emblems, badges, and other intricate details, we use the softest and most delicate tools to ensure that no harm comes to these delicate features.
Race-Day Detailing: Preserving Performance and Aesthetics
After a day of high-speed driving on the track, exotic cars often accumulate a buildup of rubber, brake dust, and other contaminants. These vehicles have low ground clearance and aerodynamic bodywork, making them more susceptible to debris adhesion, which can cause damage if left unaddressed. We can meet you at the track or at your home, to ensure that your prized supercars are promptly cleaned and kept pristine. These services are essential for exotic vehicles to protect their paint & finish, maintain performance & efficiency, and prevent overall degradation. At Flatirons, we aim to minimize potential damage through preventative maintenance detailing, preserving the vehicle’s beauty for years to come.
