Shop Highlight: A Buff and Beyond Automotive Solutions

Buff and beyond (180)

A Buff and Beyond is not your average car detailer. We came across this shop while looking for some added protection for the freshly painted 650i show car. The 650i was re painted after a mishap back in February, We brought it to Chris Turner (owner of A Buff And Beyond) even on new paint, it didn’t look like it needed any extra work, but Chris passionately insisted “I can really make this thing shine, even new paint doesn’t show to it’s full potential.” He started to go into technical detail about his processes, that’s when we know we were dealing with a pro, not just a guy who will wash and wax your car. New paint requires 30 days to cure before you can do anything to it, so on day 31 after the new paint, the 650i was dropped back to his shop for the full Buff and Beyond treatment and installation of CQuarts Finest ceramic Paint protection. Chris is one of only about 100 certified installers of CQuartz Finest and other CQuartz Products. Check out our test and review on CQuartz Finest ceramic paint protection.
