Hello, Kansas City. Welcome back to Bespoke Automotive Refinement Podcast, your number one go-to for all Kansas City car detailing services and all Kansas City car detailing packages. We have a wide variety of things that we do.
Thomas, you did something kind of interesting yesterday. It’s something that you’ve actually solved this problem that any detail you’ve ever talked to has ever figured out. Any dealership you’ve ever talked to has not figured it out.
Any exotic car owner has not figured it out, but somehow you have been experimenting over the years and have come out with a way to fix this problem. What problem have you recently fixed? I’ve solved the sticky button issue on Ferraris and Maseratis and some foreign cars that have the stupid soft touch option on the buttons that make your interior sticky. Is there any other solution? Is there like, hey your buttons kind of start deteriorating? There’s two solutions and each one of them cost about anywhere from four to twenty thousand dollars.
Typically the long-term solution is you take the interior completely apart and you take all these buttons out that have the sticky or the soft touch buttons and you sand out all of the buttons. You repaint them and then you reapply the stickers. That’s the permanent solution.
Very few people in the country actually do that. You know it’s a risk taking a 15-20 year old Ferrari interior apart. You know plastic’s brittle and it breaks.
So I’ve been experimenting with different solutions and cleaning products, detail products, mixing them together trying to find a solution to removing the sticky substance on the buttons. So getting rid of all the goo and also preserving the buttons and not rubbing the finish completely off. Now it’s not a permanent solution but it’s great for someone who has a Maserati or a Ferrari that you know maybe they’re wanting to sell.
Like hey I want my car, I don’t want my car to have sticky gooey buttons, sticky gooey center console. I mean the Maserati that I worked on yesterday all of this was like covered in goo. Oh wow.
So you know every time they put their cup in the cup holder they’d miss there were like marks all over it. And it would get on your hands. It’d get all over your hands.
So it took me about a day to work on the one that I did yesterday. I did a Maserati Gran Turismo MC Sport Spyder for Aristocrat Motors. It’s a Maserati dealership here in Kansas City and that was there’s there’s two Maseratis that they want me to do.
And it’s you know if you have a a $400,000 Ferrari like the one that we had in our driveway last week that car was had had the fix done. It had the $20,000 repair done so no parts of that interior sticky. But you’re also talking about a car that costs $400,000 you know if you have a car that much $20,000 to fix that problem really isn’t that big of a deal.
But the Maserati that I worked on yesterday is like a $38,000 car used. So if you’re really gonna spend $20,000 on a $38,000 car and you’re not it’s not gonna make it worth much more. So this fix um charge $500 to do it and it’s there’s there’s no guarantee that we’ll be able to save the button stickers.
So like you know these things here that have the writing on them there’s no guarantee that we can save the button stickers. Um try obviously there were there were about three stickers yesterday they were just so gooed up that touching them was removing the sticker finish. But wow we’re able to remove it and um Aristocrat’s very happy.
Bespoke Refinement is actually the first detailing company to ever remove the sticky button problem on these Maseratis. Wow so you have something fun coming up. Yes.
In just a couple weeks. Yes. Um what is it that we are sponsoring going to and doing? We are sponsoring the largest Ferrari rally in North America.
So um every year they have this rally it’s called the Cavalino Corsa rally and it goes through loops some of the best roads in the Midwestern United States. Um this year it’s going to start in Branson we’re going to go all the way to Queen Queen Wilhelmina back up to Branson. Um so we’re going to basically loop the entire state of Missouri.
Wow. Um it’s gonna be a lot of fun. Now what kind of cars are we excited to see about at the rally? It’s really cool because every year there’s there’s unique stuff.
I mean last year there was a there was a LaFerrari there um I was going through the photos from seven years ago and there’s a guy who has a Ferrari it’s called an SP1. It is a one it is a one of one. So it’s literally Ferrari this this this guy had such a status with Ferrari that he said I want you to build me a car that only I will have.
Like it’s it’s the only one like it and and it actually was on the rally about five years ago. Wow. So um he might be going this year this is gonna this is a 25 million dollar car.
Oh my gosh. So um this guy drives it uh he ships it in from the UK to do the rally and like I said you know he did it five years ago and um the guy who who owns the rally who who puts the rally on um as a client a good friend of ours and he was telling me that this guy’s trying to arrange to get the car shipped in and you know obviously when you ship a car in the United States it spends time sitting in customs so you can’t just fly a car in and then get in and drive it. Yeah.
Has to go through a long long long wait period but he’s gonna try to get it in to go on the rally. Um you know there’s there’s guys that have gone on the rally that have brought stuff like LaFerrari’s I saw LaFerrari last year um a lot of 812 GTS’s um a lot of 812 Competizones which are like two and a half million dollar cars um there’s a uh there’s gonna be a couple SF90s those are really really really cool cars to see you know those were a million dollar car new that was um Patrick Bet-David has an SF90 sitting in his office. Okay.
I’m sure you’ve you’ve been to his office before so you’ve seen that car. Got 1.2 million dollar car it’s a it’s a Ferrari that you have to have status with Ferrari just to be able to be at you have to be asked to buy one. Wow.
That’s the only way you can get an SF90 and uh last year there was one on the rally um I believe this year there’s gonna be two of them um so it’s gonna be really cool to see these cars that even someone who owns a Ferrari may not have the opportunity to buy one of these cars and we’re gonna be able to see and touch and touch and work on definitely one possibly two of them so really exciting. So what’s really cool is you work with exotic cars that are $500 million and plus but anybody that has a car you are willing to work on and you you perform the exact same level of detail on a $1 million car as you do a $10,000 car. True we will do the exact same level of detail work on a million dollar car that we’ll do on a $5,000 car I mean our goal is is to make your car look as clean as new and feel as fresh as possible.
