Comprehensive Detail with SunTek PPF,  Full Array of Modesta Coatings, & Gtechniq G1 Clear Vision Smart Glass

Hey everyone! This week we wanted to feature a thorough, all-encompassing luxury detail that really gave this 2023 Mercedes Benz SL 6.3 Roadster a complete makeover. This specific model is where performance and luxury meet. With a handcrafted V8 engine and 577 horsepower, it goes from 0 to 60 in just 3.5 seconds—all while looking sleek and refined. Its elegant yet powerful design with top-down driving is perfect for those who want speed, style, and comfort in one package.


We love showing off projects like these because it gives you an accurate depiction of a true restorative detail from start to finish. No expense was spared! We delivered nothing short of our signature transformation, using industry-leading film and the best ceramic coating available on the market to provide full-spectrum protection, enhanced gloss, and long-term durability worthy of the car underneath.


Here's a full list of all services performed:




Preparation Wash – Decontamination from the Ground Up



A man is washing a car.


Even high-end vehicles arrive with unseen contaminants—especially after transport or a short time on the road. Our preparation wash for this coupe began by removing all four wheels off for a deep clean of the barrels, brake calipers, and suspension components. We also addressed the body with a thorough double-bucket hand wash and a clay bar treatment to remove stubborn, stuck-on grime. This foundational step is necessary before any auto ceramic coating or paint protection film can be installed so that leftover particles are not sealed in, ruining the texture and finish of the exterior.



LIGHT POLISH/PAINT CORRECTION


To unlock the full potential of the paintwork, we performed a light machine polish using a dual-action polisher paired with fine-cut compounds to carefully refine the surface. This process gently erased light swirls and imperfections, giving the finish a smooth, uniform gloss free of streaks and scratches.




Full-Body SUNTEK PPF Installation – Invisible Armor, Expertly Applied


As a trusted PPF installer, we custom-wrapped this SL 6.3 with SunTek Ultra Gloss Paint Protection Film - one of the industry’s most advanced paint protection films- across the entire vehicle. Not just the high-impact zones—everywhere. Our application is fully customized for the SL’s sculpted lines, ensuring seamless coverage. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all job—every area is meticulously cared for to ensure a clean, flawless result. At Superior Detailer, we understand that each individual car that rolls into our garage possesses unique lines, curves, and crevices; as such, we tailor our process according to the special shape of that vehicle.


SunTek’s high-gloss top coat enhances the already stunning finish of this Mercedes by providing a sacrificial layer against damage from rocks, bug etching, minor abrasions, and harsh environmental contaminants. This level of protection keeps your paintwork looking showroom-fresh for years to come and provides practical defense against everyday damage.




ADVANCED MODESTA COATINGS


For this next step we used a carefully selected trio of premium ceramic and glass coatings, each engineered to target different parts of the vehicle for maximum durability, protection, and aesthetic enhancement. This multi-layer approach reinforces your investment from every angle—targeting the paint, wheels, calipers, and more. For this car, we used:


1) Modesta BC-06 – High Heat-Resistant Hard Glass Coating  (Wheels & Calipers) - an  auto ceramic coating engineered for the most demanding surfaces on your vehicle. Applied wheels-off for full access and coverage, BC-06 delivers:


  • Heat resistance up to 1,300°C – perfect for high-performance braking systems
  • Hard glass structure that provides long-lasting durability and chemical resistance
  • Slick, low-friction surface that helps repel brake dust, road grime, and water
  • Improved wheel longevity, which reduces wear and tear


This product is the ideal solution for clients who want to keep their wheels cleaner for longer.


2) Modesta BC-06TC – Hydrophobic Top Coat for BC-06 - a hydrophobic top coat that enhances the BC-06 layered beneath. This top coat:


  • Transforms the surface from hydrophilic to hydrophobic so that water, dirt, and grime slide off effortlessly
  • Boosts chemical durability for extra resilience in harsh conditions
  • Gives a slippery, glossy finish
  • Is designed to have seamless compatibility with BC-06 and extends its performance


This two-part system is the kind of detail that sets Superior Detailer apart from typical PPF installers—we build coating combinations that work smarter and harder for every part of your vehicle. Check out the photos below to see the the curing process in action:

3) Modesta BC-05 – Advanced Water-Repellent Glass Coating (Full Body) - known as one of the best ceramic coating products on the global market, Modesta BC-05 is the first Modesta Coating product, made for vehicles that demand elite performance and visual depth. We applied BC-05 to the body of the vehicle to leave a finish that:


  • Creates an intense gloss unrivaled richness and color clarity
  • Offers extreme hydrophobicity so that rain, dust, and debris glide off easily
  • Guarantees 10+ year durability. It's one of the longest-lasting coatings we have available!
  • Resists chemical stains, UVA/UVB rays, and oxidation – preventing fading, etching, and environmental damage
  • Reduces static and helps prevent dust accumulation, which makes washing your car easier


Truly, nothing will get past this Roadster!



Glass Coating – Enhanced Visibility, Rain or Shine


With so much attention paid to the paint and metal components of the vehicle, we couldn't neglect the windshield. To finish out the exterior, we applied Gtechniq G1 Clear Vision Smart Glass to the front windshield. This coating repels rain, grime, and snow, significantly improving visibility during rainstorms and winter driving. With up to 2 years of durability, it’s a smart addition for both safety and daily convenience.



INTERIOR REFRESH


Even though the interior was in great shape, we still wanted to give the vehicle our finishing touch. We focused our detail efforts on the steering wheel—one of the most touched and visible areas. This step involved using steam, compressed air, and premium Nextzett and Aenso products to give the interior a deep clean.



THE FINAL RESULT


This detail was a pure labor of love and effectively highlights the lengths we go to provide top-notch quality for our clients. Projects like these take time and painstaking attention to detail - but the results are well worth it:
