03 / CASE STUDY
Single Project View

Rosso Imola 296 GTB — a study in correction.

Eighty hours of measured polishing.

A 2024 Ferrari 296 GTB in Rosso Imola arrived with the kind of swirls and water-spot etching that only collectors notice — and only the right shop can correct. We measured paint thickness at sixty-eight points before starting. Eighty hours of multi-stage correction with the lightest possible cut. Two layers of Modesta BC-04 applied in our climate-controlled coating bay over five days. The finish reads ten years younger than the calendar.

04 / THE PROCESS
From Intake to Delivery

Five stages. Measured at every step.

Paint correction isn't a service — it's a measurement discipline. Every stage documented with paint-thickness readings, before/after macro photography, and written notes.

The Materials

Four coatings. The only four worth applying.

We won't apply consumer-grade ceramics. These are the four professional-only systems we're certified to install — chosen for measurable performance, not marketing.

06 / THE ATELIER
Inside The Studio

Two bays. Climate controlled. Filtered air.

Our 4,800 square-foot atelier in Toronto's east end has two dedicated bays — a correction bay with raking LED light arrays for defect inspection, and a coating bay with filtered air, controlled humidity, and dust-free conditions. We don't share bays with mechanical work. We don't share bays with body work. The car you bring in lives in our atelier from intake to delivery.

08 / PRESS & CLIENTS
In The Press

The shop other shops send their cars to.

"I have owned forty-some performance cars across thirty years. Solis & Aurum is the only detailer I let near any of them. Marcus is the kind of obsessive that makes you sleep better at night."

Andrew ChenCollector · Toronto

"The 296 came back from Solis & Aurum looking like it had appreciated 20%. The coating reads beyond honest. I'd send any Ferrari I owned there sight unseen."

David HollowayFerrari 296 GTB Owner
