"Trusted Detailing's ability along with their knowledge of high speed buffers was a major reason I selected them to be involved with detailing Air Force One. They are some of the most skilled detailers I have worked with and their commitment to providing top notch work was a chief reason they took part in this project"

"I drive a 1967 Camaro and 2005 Audi S4, so when it comes to detailing, I don't want harsh chemicals anywhere near my car. Trusted Detailing made my cars look better than ever, and didn't leave a toxic smell behind. The 'green' approach is definitely best for my car, as well as the environment."

As a member of the Spokane Model T Club as well as the INCC, I tried a new business called Trusted Detailing. They worked on my 1953 Chevy just prior to the Downtown Car Show. It never looked better "!
Suzie and I want to thank them for their work.

"These guys are the Best with great pricing"
They've done 4 of my vehicles and I would never go anywhere else. All the services I've received have been flawless. I had all 4 vehicles detailed and two of them tinted. They don't need any excuses that time will make the wrinkles or air bubbles go away because there never are any. They get it done right the first time and at a great price and this spring I'm having them detail all 4 of my cars again.

"I bought a brand new 2009 Civic LX-S recently. As I was really concerned about privacy and security in and out of my car, I carefully narrowed down which company I should take my baby for window tinting. Before I used their services, I looked up the pics that they have done for other customers' car and I question to myself, is it real? Are they doing that perfectly? Now, I can definitely say YES. They can help you get what you want and what you expect and even some addition you may not think of. If you got questions, don't be afraid to ask! They will do the best to help you and solve your problems. Trusted Detailing - It's a place that YOU can trust!"

I can't believe this !
I have a 1959 Chevy Corvair ($30,000 just on paint) and I heard about Trusted Detailing from other people who also have classic cars. I don't let anyone touch my cars (I have 19 classic cars) and I kept hearing about Trusted and how good they were. I took the chance and had them buff our $30,000 paint job and wow !"

This kind of work should only be undertaken by a very experienced enthusiast or a professional detailer; experienced in colour-sanding (wet-sanding), as this is more a paint renovation technique that has to be perfected.
BEFORE
AFTER
The paint sections / panels that are difficult and involve risk are usually those that are close to the edges of a panel (as this is where the paint is usually thinnest) or highly contoured areas. Flat areas like the trunk, hood or roof involve minimal risk.
Wet-sanding levels the paint (and removes orange peel, harsh acidic or alkaline marks, etc) it removes approximately 0.025- 0.003 Mils (a Mil is 1/1000th of an inch) of paint from the vehicle using 2000 -grit finishing paper, Bear in mind that a clear coat has a thickness of 1.5 – 2.0 Mils, removing more that 0.3 – 0.5 Mils of clear coat may cause premature paint film failure. As a point of reference a sheet of Saran wrap measures 0.95 Mils
A digital paint thickness gauge will allow you to measure the film thickness of the paint system which includes the e-coat, primer, base coat (colour) and clear coat, total thickness is usually 4.0 – 6.0 Mils. Check the paint system both before and after wet sanding and this will tell you how much paint has been removed.
For these reasons all car manufacturers now specify that the paint thickness be measured in 0.1mil, or 1/1000th of an inch before and after any wet sanding or buffing. The following are the maximum allowable clear coat reductions the major USA car manufacturers will allow; Chrysler- 0.5 mils, Ford – 0.3 mils,
GM – 0.5 mils.
The Phase II PTG- 3500 digital electronic paint thickness gage is one of the leaders in coating measuring devices. Don`t let the size and simplicity fool you! This is one of the BEST paint measuring devices you will ever see, and its hundreds of dollars cheaper than other leading paint thickness measuring tools.
This gage offers extreme accuracy with an instant readout and high resolution. The digital display eliminates guesswork of other devices and its precision is second to none. The PTG-3500 is made of a durable lightweight ABS plastic housing assuring long term durability and maintenance free performance for many years.
Here is why this tool is so good:
The PTG-3500 will measure in both MILS and MICRONS. This is something that many other gages will not do at all, and if they do, you can`t touch them for this price.
The PTG-3500 is pre- calibrated at the factory, as well as being able to re-calibrate with just the touch of a button.
The PTG-3500 will measure both a ferrous (steel) and non ferrous (aluminum) surface. Many of the other devices in this category will ONLY measure a ferrous (steel) surface. Not only will it measure BOTH surfaces, it will do it without doing anything to the tool. The tool will tell you what the surface is made of!
Large measuring range. Up to 1000 MICRONS or 40 MILS
Extreme accuracy- accurate to a tenth (.1) of a MIL or 2 MICRONS
Portable and lightweight- This tool fits in your pocket and measures only 5 inches high, 2.6 inches wide, and 1.1 inches thick. It weighs only 5 ounces!
Operates on regular AAA batteries which are included and installed
There is no better gage available no matter what the price and there is no better value out there for a tool that does all this. This is the tool Trusted Detailing, LLC uses before detailing any car or vehicle.
Before quoting any price for wet sanding we'll measure your vehicles clear coat in 30 different places to determine how much sanding it requires to give it a mirror finish.
