Every once in awhile we're pleasantly surprised by a level of excellence that is all too seldom seen.  Your workmanship and expertise in applying the clear bra was far beyond my expectations.  Not only was the job perfect but done in a timely manner.  I drove the car at a Porsche track event this weekend for over 300 miles without a nick on the car.  Several of the cars went off the track spraying rocks across the track.  The Carrera GT didn't get a scratch on it and I have you to thank.  We had a crowd around the car most of the weekend and everyone remarked on what a great job you did.  Thanks again for such an excellent service can't wait to get the Ford GT done.

Sean,
Just had to let you know how pleased we are with the job you did installing the Xpel clear bra on our new X5!  Being somewhat familiar with the product and process having it done to my 330i last year (by someone less capable than yourself!), I was desperate to find someone with the skill to do an install to my high standards.  After finding out about you using the Xpel dealer search, visiting your website and then talking to you about the job, I was convinced that you were that someone.  After spending about three careful hours on it, the results were just awesome!  The Xpel patterns use fewer relief cuts than others which makes for a cleaner finished product, but also increases the installation difficulty.  The alignment of these complex patterns, with multiple compound curves is just perfect.

It's refreshing to find someone who takes this level of pride in their workmanship, will stand behind their work and who is so pleasant to deal with to boot.

Thanks again for having such high standards.  I would gladly and highly recommend you to the most discriminating of customers. 

Much continued success,
Ron Hipwell

Thanks again for the beautiful install today.  It's a joy to see someone take as much pride in their work as I try to achieve!  I will highly-recommend you to anyone who asks, and perhaps some of those who don't.   ;)   I'm very happy with how everything turned out, and now I can drive my Z with less worry about damage to the nose, etc.  I will not hesitate to call you in the future for more work.  I'm likin' the idea of that wood treatment on the interior trim bits.

 Sean - I just wanted to send a quick note of thanks for your effort and workmanship.
First - the effort you put forth in accommodating my schedule and getting the car done so quickly. Considering the late notice, I was thrilled when   48 hours later we had a custom kit installed to perfection. Your weekend double shift (with a broken arm and 1 month old baby at home) was well appreciated by your newest customer.
Lastly - the workmanship was flawless. I was a bit apprehensive about the film being applied to a white car. I must say it is as close to invisible as I could have hoped for. I literally could not locate any bubbles or imperfections in the installation. The extra touches were also very much appreciated. It is obvious that you are as much "into cars" as I am and I will certainly come back to you for future work.
As the owner of a service business, I fully understand the value in going the extra mile for the customer. It is also nice to have a one stop car shop that can handle just about any service a car fanatic would desire. All I can say is that your website is officially "bookmarked" for future reference.
Thank you,
J. Todd James 

My experience with Sean and his business, Ultimate Auto Care, was nothing but 5 star.  I felt that I was dealing with someone honest and customer-oriented from the minute I walked into the shop.  Coming from someone who is a perfectionist, you will get A+ work at a great price.  The 3m paint protection is amazing!  I also enjoyed snacks and movies while I was there.  What a deal!  I will most definitely be returning for any auto care I may need and will recommend all family and friends.  Thanks again, Sean!

I would highly recommend Sean of ultimate auto for the outstanding job he did on my new 2005 corvette.I had the invisable bra installed on the front end and it looks great! The workmanship can't be beat.I watched Sean work a solid  5  hours on my car until it was perfect. I was amazed at how he matched and fitted every piece together.Looking at the front of the car you would never know anything was on it due to a good 3m product, and the key is the installer!Sean is the man to see if you are looking or even considering the invisible bra.
Sincerely,

Hi Sean,
I'm extremely happy with your flawless installation of 3M paint protection film on my brand new 545i. Like many of car enthusiasts, I demand perfection on any  work done to my cars. You met my high expectation.
I'm glad that I chose you for the 3M clear bra installation and not  just any installer with cheaper price.
You treated your customers' cars with greatest care.
Regards,
James

Outstanding workmanship!!!! Shows a real pride in his work and my customers really appreciate it. He makes the application of the Vinyl Stoneguard look easy (and I know it is not - been there, tried that!).

  I would like to take the time to truly thank Ultimate Auto Care for another great "Clear Bra" install on my brand new Porsche 996.  It turned out flawless.  Thanks again for taking the time to do it right and for being just as much a perfectionist as I am.   Also I was quite impressed with all the custom wheel well and door handle protection you were able to apply.  Now I finally get to drive this car as I was waiting anxiously for our appointment (I appreciate you fitting me in before my trip).  I look forward to seeing you next weekend to take care of the Escalade clear bra and as soon as you can get the Rover's front end repainted we'll do that as well.

     For anyone else looking into this protection it is a must have.  I will never own another car without it.  Just as important as the product itself is the professional installation.  I will never have another clear bra installed by anyone besides Ultimate Auto Care and here is why:

     I own 12 cars and am very particular on how they look.  Cadillac, Porsche, Land Rover, Bentley, GMC dually,  restored classics ETC.   Ultimate has been the only ones to truly satisfy me with their immaculate detailing services.  About 4 years ago Sean introduced the invisible auto bra protection to me and did several of my vehicles.   It was a blessing because I have a place in Texas, Utah and Orange County Ca.  so I am always putting lots of mileage on my cars.  I was hooked ever since but I have had a couple bad experiences with the film.  I made the mistake of having the protection installed on my pick-up by the dealership in Texas.  I figured I liked the product and it didn't matter who did it.  Needless to say I was very disappointed with the work.  The film looked hazy and there were many stretch marks and air bubbles.  It even began to peel up on a few spots.  I had them redo it with much the same poor results.  At first I was under the impression that it was just the bozo who put it on (which it was) but made the same mistake again(different car and different dealership).  This time I even found razor blade cuts in my paint!!!

I have since learned my lesson and will only be using Ultimate Auto Care for all my Paint Protection needs.  They are prompt, professional, and fairly priced, but above all they provide good old fashioned customer service.  They take the time to explain all the options and answer all the questions that you can throw at them.  That is hard to find in many service businesses these days.  I highly recommend them to protect your prized vehicle.

I recently had my Laguna Blue S done recently in Orange CA (Ultimate Autocare) and Sean did an excellent job. This is truly a labor intensive process for a good job and as posted above the bumper/spoiler on our cars is not easy. I think Xpel rates the bumper at its highest difficulty rating. He really had to mold and shape the material quite a bit on the bumper but it came a great!

I have had my last three cars done (04 Acura TL, 04 350Z and now my S) and I wouldn't be without it. My drive to work is filled with gravel trucks and although my winshield is quite pitted on the TL, my paint is still perfect.

I went with the 3M material on my S. It has a more glossy finish, but with a little more "orange peel" look. Overall it looked best out the three materials he offers. I think you can choose from 3M, Venture or Dennison, all with their own positives and negatives.

If you are in or near the Orange County area, I would definately look this guy up. The collection of pictures from his work is mind blowing. He has done a large number of unbeleivable exotics and he appears to have many repeat customers.

 Sean at ultimate auto care is Pro!. The Protection works perfect, he's installed it on both my car and my truck.  I will be calling him from now on on all my new vehicles. I recommend Ultimate's Auto protection to everyone who wants to keep their vehicle pristine.

Sean,
As I mentioned to you before, the ultimate shield is one of the best investments I have made in car care. I showed off the car to some of my friends after you finished on Saturday, and they could hardly tell it was on. I appreciate the great and careful work you performed. The clear shield continues to be an excellent product-my 2000 S2000 still looks great with no front end pits. From now on, I will certainly have you install the ultimate shield on every car that I purchase.
Thanks again for fitting me in last minute.

 Hugh,

I own a 2005 Arctic Silver Porsche Carerra. I considered a clear bra when the car was first delivered but could not find anyone I trusted to work on my "baby." I absolutely loved the new Porsche Silver and figured the bra would ruin the look of the vehicle. I had other concerns, like damage to the paint or possible problems in the future should I want to remove the bra. In addition I absolutely demand the best workmanship and wanted someone who would not only have high work ethics, attention to detail but also work on my car like it was their own!

After 4,000 miles the road chips were building up on the hood, bumper and headlights. Fortunately a friend of mine recommended Sean and coming from someone I respected and knew was equally fanatical about his cars I contacted Sean immediately.

Sean was prompt, courteous and very professional. He set my mind to rest on all my concerns about the bra and proceeded to do an outstanding job on my car. The overall fit and look of the bra is unbelievable, you would not know it was there!! One week later I noticed a few minor imperfections in the film on my headlights. Most people would have blown that off as being too small, however, Sean was at my house the next day with a new film and the finished product was great. I would recommend Sean anytime, please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

"The service I recieved was A+.  Sean made every convenience available to me.  He took time out of his schedule to fit me in at last minutes notice.  I was in a hurry to get protection for my paint before I made a 400 mile journey in my new Evo.  Sean did a stellar job on my car, and the product kept my car safe from all the rocks, bugs, and various debris I encountered."
Also as a sidenote, I recently got a rock that hit my windshield and theres a small crack... do you repair windshields or someone that does?

Thanks,
Kevin

 Thank you for the referral. I checked the 3M website and then contacted Ultimate Auto Care in Placentia/Anaheim Hills. Sean Heiland did the installation yesterday on my 1957 Thunderbird and he did an excellent job. I couldn't be happier. He came to my home, was very professional, and even cleaned up when he was finished.  Every time I look at it, I can't believe it is there!

Sean,

Thanks for the great looking install—the film application is flawless! I appreciate you being able to come out and do the job onsite. I’ll keep the cards and if anyone asks, I will gladly point them in your direction.

Hi Zack,
For "custom" Paint Protection Film applications I would recommend another installer. Sean www.ultimateautocare.com. he has a lot of experience in custom installations.    A custom insallation starts with a 18" wide sheet of film and it is stretched over the body part, then it is hand cut.    This is a common practice in the industry.    Sean, is one of the best. Give him a call and he will be able to accomodate you.    Thank you for the enquire, let me know if  you have any more questions.
Regards,
 Bill

 I'd really like to thank sean for the excellent service he provided for my BMW X3. Sean was very helpful and answered all of my questions throughly. His installation of the film was extremely professional and he finished the install at the promised time . Sean is the best at what he does and I would not hessitate to recommend others to him for professional quality work. Thanks Sean, I really appreciate your professionalism and honesty.

 Ultimate Auto Care (SoCal) did a great install!
Thanks for everybody's input on the "clear bras". I finally concluded that I wanted 3M's current generation of film b/c it supposedly yellows far less than its previous versions and b/c of the top coat that seals the porous urethane.

As for the brand of pattern, I chose X-pel b/c it seemed to offer fewer relief cuts and StoneGard's SoCal installer only just recently finished the training course.

I also learned that it may be advantageous to choose an installer that cuts the patterns on his own plotter. If part of the install goes badly, it would be easier for him/her to just cut another piece rather than trying to fix a bad job. I imagine you would get more resistance to a re-install if your installer has to pay out-of-pocket for a replacement kit from X-pel.

Also, many installers do use razor blades on the film while on the car. You have to avoid the inexperienced ones. My installer (see below) demonstrated how he scores the film (and not cut) for the custom pieces. But he also mentioned that he would not use any razors and could cut his patterns off the car without problem.

After all this, I wanted to recommend Sean Heiland in SoCal. He did a terrific job on the Z4. I had standard X-pel patterns cut on 3M film placed on the front hood, front bumper including front spoiler, headlights, foglights, side mirrors, rear fender, and rear bumper strip. I had him do custom work on the areas behind the front and rear wheels, A-pillars and door edges.

I told Sean I was very particular and would not be happy if the films were placed with any bubbles or marring and that each piece had to be perfectly aligned. He was always professional, courteous, and did a really spectacular job. If any of you are interested in this paint protection film, I would definitely contact Sean at the following:

 To whom it may concern,

I have been doing business with Ultimate Auto for the past three years. I have an affection for beautiful cars and looked for someone that can share that affection through pride in workmanship. Sean has Clear Bra'd my 2004 Corvette Z06, 2001 Chrysler Prowler, 2006 Escalade, 2006 Jaguar XJ8 and now my childhood dream - The 2006 Ford GT.

Sean is a true master at what he does and I would not trust anyone else with my vehicles other than Ultimate Auto Care!

Sincerely;

Sam A.

"To anyone interested in the Clear Bra, let me start by saying I was extremely nervous about getting it installed on my new CTS and M3, but after speaking with Sean I could tell he was a pro.  We arranged for him to be at my home at 8:00 AM and when I walked outside at 7:55 he was pulling in the driveway.  The care he provided was exceptional and the finished results were absolutely perfect.  I can finally drive without worrying about bugs and debris attacking the front of these cars and best of all it really looks great."

Sean,
Thanks again for the great job on my SLK 320. I just bought a new 2004 C240 Wagon (stop laughing). Can you please give me a quote for the clear bra for that? Thanks!

The “Ultimate Shield” is the perfect product for those who take pride in their vehicles or weekend toys.  Sean of Ultimate Auto Care introduced this product to me as a way to protect my new sandrail from the harsh conditions of the sand & dirt.  I had the professionals at Ultimate Auto care install their custom kit on my sandrail & within the first 2 trips it virtually paid for itself.  Not only did it keep the powder coated finish shiny, it protected the finish from several dings that are impossible to match without re-powder coating.  Needles to say, when I purchased my new truck, the Ultimate Shield was the first accessory put on my truck!  “The Ultimate Shield doesn’t cost, it pays!”

I have heard nothing but great things about your installs of clear bra's on Infiniti G35 Coupes, unfortunately I am located in north florida and obviously can not reap the benefits of your services.
I was wondering if there was any chance you could recommend someone in my area that would be able to offer the same pricing and service? I appreciate any help you can offer. I have also thought about buying the material and installing it myself, if you think this could be a possibility also let me know.

Ultimate:
Overall, I am very happy with the product. Unless you are a few inches away, you can hardly notice it is there. Sean At Ultimate Auto Care was very professional and did a great job on the install. I have had the clear bra for two weeks and it has already saved my bumper on numerous occasions. Thanks.

To: Prospective 3M Paint Protection Buyers

I found Ultimate Shield through 3M's website referral. Sean took the time to thoroughly explain the product and his services, giving me all the information I needed to make a decision. He followed up with an email quote. Logistically it was difficult for me because of where I lived and worked. He offered to install at my garage at a convenient time for me. The results were just as he described. It's a pleasure having worked with someone who takes pride in their work.

“I’ve been doing business with Sean and the Ultimate Auto Care crew for more than 6 years now, and I couldn’t be happier with the work they’ve done. Whether it be a complete detail or ordering accessories (billet parts, paint protection kits etc.) Ultimate Auto Care always puts forth 100% in the work that they do. Sean and his crew have always been very hardworking, dedicated, and reliable. I have always been completely satisfied with my vehicle after it has been in Ultimate’s hands. For anyone who wants to have their automobile taken care of professionally, I highly recommend Sean and the rest of the Ultimate Auto Care crew.”

Sean,

I recently got a new front bumper installed on my 2002 BMW M3 coupe. The bumper is similar to the oem bumper except it doesn't have openings for foglamps. can you custom cut a sheet for the front bumper that will protect it? There is one opening in it on the drivers side. Its a perfect circle. There are also a pair of CF splitters on the bottom that I would like to have covered. The splitters can be removed easily so you can more accurately cut the material. I attached some pictures of the bumper. Please give me a quote for cash payment and when you can install. The armada is doing great. Couldn't be happier with the stone guard on it. Those extra pieces you added to the door handle area have really paid off.

Thanks again,

Jim Chambers 

 Sean,
Just wanted to say Thanks! and everything looks great!
Just wanted to ask you what products would you reccomend to me if I wanted to get started on a car washing kit......what products would I basically need to get a good shine :-) From start to finish.
Thanks

Sean once again, THANKYOU. I was so pleased with the previous car that you had done for me so, i had to get the new car done up too. This is the best investment i have ever put into my car. I'm gonna defiantly gonna send my friends over to see you. Thankyou for your time and your great customer service, and saving me money in the long run!

Hi, Bill:

The big news is that I had a Clear Bra installed today. It is fantastic. You can't see it unless you know what you're looking for. No fuss -- just wash and wax it just like the rest of the car. It has a 5 year 3M warranty -- that's how long it should last under harsh conditions such as Arizona sun. Since Thunder is usually garaged, it should last longer. The best part is that I don't have to hassle putting the black bra on and off on road trips!

I took a few pictures of the Clear Bra, aka Ultimate Shield. (See attached.)

If you decide to have Ol' Blue shielded from rocks, call Sean Heiland at Ultimate Auto Care at 714-412-4851. Sean's e-mail address is sean@ultimateshield.com. He's located in Placentia (near the 91 and 57 freeways) on Orangethorpe. His website is at http://www.ultimateshield.com. I don't think he'll go to San Marcos/Escondido without an extra charge to cover gas/time, however, he can do it in his shop. Thunder took about 3 hours so I would think Ol' Blue would be about the same. Maybe we could go out for breakfast/lunch while you're waiting. However, if you are like me, you'll want to watch!

Please tell Sean I referred you to him. That way I'll get credit towards his Referral Awards Program :-)

Hey Sean,

Thanks for taking care of the GTO bumper.  I also appreciate not only your helpful pointers, but that you seem to be treating my customers with the highest levels of quality and service.  I’m glad that we have been able to form this referral relationship and that it seems to be working for both of us!

 Thanks again,

GOT Clear Bra?
_____
Hey guys, I was just wondering how many of you have one on your G? I got mine about 2 weeks ago from Sean @ ulimate auto care and I must say WOW.
Not only is this practicly invisable, but its easy to clean and not to mention, I dont have to wory about all the nicks caused by rocks and dead bugs I plow threw while driving. I just wanted to let everyone know if you need to get one installed give <mailto:sean@ultimateshield.com> Sean a buzz and check out some of his work <http://www.ultimateautocare.com/> www.UltimateShield.com He took care of me and im sure he'll take care of you. Even though he wasen't the closest to me he was the one with the best customer service and a good price.

Sean,
I hope you get this e-mail, I have tried to send you a message since you sent me those photos of my car. 
Thanks for the great job, I’ll definitely let my friends know about you. Thanks for the compliments on the garage, we spent a lot of time getting it just right. “Clean” is the best word to describe it!
I see you also do window tinting – I should have asked you about it before – how much would it be to get the SLK tinted?
Anyway, thanks again for a great job.
- Adam

Sean - you did my front end about a month ago.
     I was driving on the freeway no less than four days after you installed the shield and a board (about half of one slat) from a broken pallet flew up from the car in front of me. It hit my front end "hard" going about 70 mph. I was crushed.....the car was less than a week old and I already had my first damage. I checked the front end about ten minutes later when I stopped. I was thrilled to find only a slight scuff where this board had hit the shield instead of my paint. Not only did it protect the paint from chipping but I believe it also prevented a dent. Put that story on your testimonial page. 
Thank you.

Hi Sean
I am so happy with the work you did on the clear bra installation. Your workmanship is absolutely top notch.
