One craftsman. Concours standard. Every car.
I prepare paint the way show judges inspect it: measured, corrected where appropriate and protected with nothing hidden. Whether it is a new Porsche getting film or a classic headed for the lawn, the approach starts with the car.
Protection. Correction. Preparation.
A finish with purpose.

Concours & show preparation
Judging-aware preparation for classic, vintage and exotic cars, with originality guiding every decision.
Explore concours & show preparationIn 100-point deduction concours systems, judges start with a perfect score and deduct for departures from the standard. Incorrect, refinished or over-restored items can cost points. More polish is not always better.
That discipline makes preparation more thoughtful for every car: understand its paint, preserve what matters and choose only the work it needs. Brandon brings that approach to his show preparation.
Southern California offers different kinds of show stages, including La Jolla Concours d'Elegance, San Marino Motor Classic and Goodguys Del Mar Nationals. A judged concours and a craftsmanship-focused show do not ask the same things of a finish.
Often searched as “concourse detailing”, concours preparation starts with the judging rules, not a universal gloss target.

Before we begin
Your questions
Coating vs PPF: which do I need?
Coating helps with gloss and maintenance. PPF provides a physical barrier against rock chips and road wear. They can be combined, with film on exposed areas and a compatible coating where appropriate.
Can you coat a classic or show car?
A driven classic may suit a coating or film. On a restored show car, I check the event and marque-club rules first. Preservation-class originals receive conservation cleaning instead of coatings. Original single-stage lacquer and chrome require particular restraint; over-polishing or over-chroming can cost judging points.
How do I get a quote?
Book a paint evaluation through the contact page. Message @puredetailsd on Instagram with the car, year, color, paint condition, your goal and photos. Include the event date if you are preparing for a show. Work is quoted after a paint evaluation.
