"I brought my SQ8 in that had some obnoxious hard water stains really down in the paint. Ben and his team worked their magic and corrected my paint before applying the ceramic coating. The vehicle looked amazing inside and out. Ben's communication was excellent and he took the time to educate me on caring for the vehicle's ceramic coating afterwards. Top tier operation!!!"

"If you need any detail work done whether it be interior or exterior you should definitely come to photo finish detailing. My M3 was shipped to me from the dealership absolutely filthy, both interior and exterior had pet hair and dirt everywhere. Ben and his team took care of everything, from a detail clean on the exterior and interior, to ppf and ceramic coating. To finish everything off they were even able to hardwire my radar detector for me! They can truly do just about anything, and do it well which is most important! Next up for me is tints which I'm sure will come out just as great as everything else! Thanks again to Ben, Benny, and Carl! This will be the only shop to touch my car!"
