The APEX "RPM" System
Entering into the world of Automotive detailing can seem like a daunting task for those who don't have much experience in the car care industry. The goal of the APEX “RPM System” is to provide inexperienced and experienced detailers with the necessary tools and knowledge to properly care for their vehicles. A car is more than just something that gets you from point A to point B. To us, and many others across the world, it is not only a passion but an experience.
Many times, when car owners decide they want to protect and preserve their vehicle, they start with the right intentions but fall, unknowingly, into some not so great habits that cause damage to their paint finish or get frustrated with the process.
The APEX “RPM System” provides a process and specific products to allow anyone to successfully Restore, Protect, and Maintain (RPM) their vehicle. These steps can be used by anyone of any experience level, and can be wholly implemented or even used as supplemental steps for your own detailing regimen.
BASIC RPM PROCESS OVERVIEW
To determine which steps in the process are required for your vehicle, you first must thoroughly analyze its interior and exterior condition. (This needs to be performed after a complete vehicle wash and interior clean). Examine your vehicle's paint and interior carefully under bright lighting conditions. Take a look at the following phases of our system and start where you feel like your vehicle fits in.
RESTORE
Car Condition: The paint and exterior trim is showing signs of damage such as oxidation or fading. The paint is dull or has scratches, haze and swirl marks. In this case you would start at the RESTORE Step.

PROTECT
Car condition: The paint is clear and has a deep shine. Is the interior clean and free of stains? Is the car new, or well cared for and is free of paint defects? If this is the case then you would start at the PROTECT Step.

MAINTAIN
Car condition: The car is new and or in great condition and already has some form of paint protection products (waxes, sealants, coatings, etc) on the finish. The interior needs some maintenance cleaning. The car just needs to be cared for correctly. In this case you would start at the MAINTAIN Step.
