Thank you,
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.

Dear Sean, Sean Heiland Ultimate Auto Care, LLC 1718 N. Neville Street Orange, CA 92865 Please do not hesitate to use me as a referral for anyone who is considering using your services. I will gladly tell them that I have never had a more courteous, professional and technically competent experience! Since I am a Senior Citizen, plus, I speak with a pretty lengthy background of services rendered to the many automobiles I have owned through the years. Among my recent experiences is the fact that I employed a different installer to do the Clear Bra on my Subaru Baja. When I asked him about doing my new Avalon, he said that was way beyond his capabilities and referred me to you. After you finished with my Avalon, I could really tell the difference between the two installations. Your installation was far and away superior! As you know, recently, my wife had a little parking lot altercation with the Avalon and I needed the Clear Bra replaced. Your re-installation job was every bit as perfect as the first one. And, the Clear Bra saved me from an expensive paint job. Someone might be able to get an installation a little cheaper elsewhere, but I would tell them that because of my other installation experience with my Subaru, I know that the bitter taste of poor quality lasts far longer than the fleeting sweetness of an apparent bargain Cordially, William L. Robertson Phone: 949-492-2415 E-mail: willrob2@cox.net Sean, Sean- I am so impressed by the work you did on my new Vette I just bought for my 40th birthday. You are a true professional when it comes to protecting and detailing my dream car. You walked me through the process and explained all the options so I could make an informed decision on which "invisible bra" material to use. On the very next day I was driving to work, a construction truck hit a bump on the freeway and dumped some gravel that hit the front of my car. I quickly pulled over to inspect the damage. Not one scratch on my car!!! I wiped off the dust and gravel that had collected in the front air dam. No damage. I sprayed on some plexus that you gave me to clean the "bra". And it was like nothing had happened. Truly amazing. Co-workers came out to see the work you did and couldn't tell there was an "invisible bra" on the front, mirrors, and wheel wells. They had to get real close and look at a certain angle to see it. Thank you so much for everything you did! I am going to tell all my friends about how good you are with detailing and protecting cars. |
Having owned a number of exotic cars and motorcycles over the years it is always exciting to find someone that shares the same passion in protecting ones “Toys”. I was very pleased with the very professional experience which I received. Initial calls were responded to immediately and a accurate estimate was provided. The best aspect of my experience was the excellent attention to detail and the quality of the work provided. Based on my satisfaction I will not hesitate to refer anyone that inquires about my clear bra over to you.

Sean,
’s hands, so I spent quite some time researching and visiting several professionals in Southern California… and clearly you were the right choice. You have a clean shop, friendly staff, impressive website gallery, wide selection of films, quality patterns, and a personal passion in making sure the installation is just right and that the customer is completely satisfied with your work.
The full hood/bumper/fender clear bra application on my ’07 arctic silver Cayman S came out fantastic. Thanks for spending the better part of your afternoon and evening getting the protection just right. You’ve earned my full confidence and trust in all my vehicle protection needs.
Thank you again,
Jey

Thank you, Sean. I am happy to be driving a protected car!
Bottomline, when it comes to film, it's the quality of the installer that makes all the difference. I had heard so many good things about your installations, I am glad that they are all true. Not only did you explain things, you recommended the right areas to film and discouraged me from filming unnecessary areas. The atmosphere at the shop is great; it's a comfortable place to spend time and I felt welcomed. I've already recommended you to a few friends.
Thanks again, and keep me posted as to the wood trim replacements.

Hey Sean! I am referring a number of friends to you. Please take care of them!
Guys - Some of you have asked me for Sean's contact information and some of you have not (but should consider it). Sean is the owner of Ultimate Shield (www.ultimateshield.com) located in Orange. He's the one that wrapped the entire front end of my Carrera GT and Gary's Stradale.
There is an Enterprise Rent a Car a mile away which makes it convenient for you to drop off your car in the morning and pick it up later the same day. You need to call or email Sean and make an appointment. He can wrap a full car (he did the Carrera GT - doors, side skirts, and front bumper) in a day. His number is 714-412-4851.
I am giving a wholehearted recommendation for Sean and his crew at Ultimate Autocare. Ultimate Autocare did everything in their power to accommodate my schedule and requests. When the car transporter showed up 3 hours late and very dirty, I was not sent home. Instead, Angel took pictures of my car to document the condition upon delivery and then did a fantastic job washing my car before applying the Ventureshield coating. The car was finished the same day and the job was done with great precision. The fit is perfect. Sean and his crew stayed late and did not rush to get the job done right. I would recommend Ultimate Autocare to anyone who realizes that the best value is the one which is done right the first time, and which disrupts your day as little as possible. Great work guys!

Sean: Thanks for the superb job installing the clear bra, head light, fog light and rocker protection on my '08 Vette. I did my research. You came highly recommended and you certainly delivered on your reputation. It was a positive experience from my first email, to the install and your follow-up to make sure I was happy.
A short story - when I came in to drop my Vette off for the clear bra install a gentleman started talking with me as soon as I stepped into the shop. I thought sure it was you or an employee since he was talking up the product, the quality of install and even had me go outside and look at a Z06 with full hood protection. It turned out he was the owner of the Porsche you were working on. That says a lot about you and your crew when your customers sell your services - top notch all the way. I have recommended your shop to several friends with new vehicles and anyone who asks about the install.
Thanks again. Pat
Oh by the way - I need more of your business cards.
Hi Sean -
I'm still trying to get through the damn break in miles on my Porsche but I'm so glad I did the clear bra. I got stuck behind a series of huge trucks on the 5 this weekend and I could hear the rocks and pebbles hitting my car. I just knew I was going to have some damage.
But a thorough wash and some Plexus and there's no damage and the car still looks brand new. Awesome...
and thanks again.
Thanks.

Hello, Sean, and thanks for the great work you did last month when you installed the clear bra on my Solara. The results your shop achieved were outstanding. I’m entirely happy with the product and – more important – with its application, which you accomplished perfectly.
I researched more than a few of your competitors, and spoke with people who are acquainted with related products and applications. After completing my inquiries and talking with you, I was quite sure you’d be able to provide unparalleled service.
I was right.
Thanks again for the wonderful job. I look forward to years of enjoying a car that’s protected against front-end dents from flying stones; big, bad bug corpses; tree sap; and scratches from my cats, both of which sometimes enjoy a martini or two on the car’s warm hood. The only thing you could have done to make life better on installation day was to induce a major gain in the stock market. You didn’t to do this. Then again, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve didn’t do it either. So not to worry; you’ll be glad to know I don’t hold you responsible for The New York Stock Exchange’s erratic behavior.
I am, however, holding you entirely responsible for having completed a superb job installing the clear bra. I’ve already recommended you to my wife, who has a relatively new car, and to a few buddies. And when I next complain to the Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve about the effect of his actions on the equities markets, I’ll recommend that he take his limo to your shop – even though he lives in Washington. You’re worth it.
Regards,
Joseph Germano
Sean,
thank you very much for your excellent work. You and your team have done an outstanding job on my girlfriend's '07 XTerra clear bra. It was such a clean job that in fact she didn't even notice it on her own car until I pointed it out to her. The fit it perfect and the difficult curves on the body were mastered without a hitch. And hats-off to your shop - very nice layout and definitely one of the coolest looking shops around.
Thanks again

Hi all,
I got my car back last week from Sean at Ultimate Shield at Anaheim last weekend. I have ordered a full front clear bra per Sean's professional advise. It turns out to be very good. Now I don't have to worry of the swirl mark for the front part of the car. I think it's well worth it. I got the car at a very low mileage, and the previous owner took a very well care of the car. And thanks for Sean for putting protection to prevent any rock chips. This is my second car that I have taken to Ultimate Shield. I think both of my cars turn out very nice. It doesn't have any bubbles. Sean's after sales service is spectacular. I would highly recommend Ultimate Shield to anybody if you are looking for a clear bra for your NSX.
I have also attached some photo after Sean put the clear bra on my car.

Thanx for the superb job you did installing the 3m bra on my black 07 Infiniti G35 coupe and the spectacular mirror finish detail work. My car looks amazing! I am extremely satisfied. I was absolutely amazed when I picked up my car, The film is 99.99% invisible, I can only see it when I view it from a certain angle, and the finish on the whole car? WOW!!!! It feels like baby skin, What a great job! You truly are a professional and the best in the field.
I will recommend your services to anyone and everyone in a heartbeat.

Thanx again Sean,

Dear Sean
I am delighted to provide a glowing endorsement of your work on my Porsche. From scheduling to delivery, you and your staff were friendly, efficient , and completely professional. High quality work is never cheap, nor should it be. When you make a significant investment in a beautiful car, a little extra cost to protect that investment is just common sense. The clear protective coat you applied just a few weeks ago has already deflected gravel, sand and other road insults that would have otherwise marred the finish. You always say that this product is not a "force field", but it's the next best thing.
Working with you has been a pleasure--I have already recommended your team to others and will continue to do so without hesitiation.
All the best,
Stan Katz
Hey Sean,
Sorry it’s been so long to respond back but I kept the email because I knew eventually I would get a chance to answer… I’m in retail and the Xmas holiday and Thanksgiving kept me busy.
I was contacted by a friend that had your clear bra put on his Black Lexus. For anyone who has ever owned a black car they quickly realize how great they look, but what a pain they can be to upkeep! He had the entire front bra put on and as luck would have it not to long after that he had a rock put a decent size dent in his hood. He had it repaired and decided to come back and have you guys put on a full clear covering on his entire hood. After seeing him go through all of this and hearing him tell me how impressed he was with your product and service I decided to have you do some work on my new Altima Coupe. I had the entire front end done along with the headlights and mirrors. I must say it’s almost completely un-noticeable and everyone that’s seen it is very impressed!!! What a great product…
I must say after being in the retail industry for quite some time and dealing with,, shall we say, some less than cordial people it was refreshing to deal with a company that obviously cared deeply about their work! Everyone in your establishment was more than friendly, and it didn’t hurt to have some great TV to watch and something to drink to help pass the time… Thanks for the great service!!!
A couple of additional things Sean, I had a shopping cart slam into the left front quarter panel and after the repairs I’ll need that small section of bra re applied. It’s maybe a foot by a foot big in that area so can you give me some idea of cost??
After I have the repair done I also need to go back to my local Nissan Dealership here in the Inland Empire. I’ve talked to their General Service Manager and he was very interested in your product for his clients. I showed him your guys work and bragged a little and needless to say he was impressed! He requested I pass your info along to him which I will do when I go back in. Let me know if you need any more info on the affected area.
Thanks,

Unlike the guy I went to in Arcadia, who gave me many promises and failed to keep any one of those, you guys delivered what was promised and more.
I would definitely recommend you to my friends because I know that they would really appreciate my recommendation.
I look forward to seeing you again when I get my next car.
Thank you.

Ultimate Auto Care Rocks!
On the recommendation of a fellow Fchatter, Jeffrey, I took my car to have a clear bra installed at Ultimate Auto Care. As of yesterday late afternoon I had no appointment and was on my way to pick up my car from Premier. Dave (Premier) was horrified that I might get a rock chip on his new paint job.
Dave immediately called Sean (Ultimate) and asked if he would be willing to work on Saturday to install the clear bra. Sean, immediately gave the thumbs up and with very little begging.
I dropped my car off this morning with Sean and his crew. A little over 7 hours later the car was done and looks perfect. I can't say enough great things about the service and quality of the product I received from Sean. I drove 80 miles each way and wouldn't hesitate to go back for any future work that I may need in the future. Sean is a true professional and perfectionist. Thanks Jeffrey for the great referral. Here are a few pics from the install today.

Sean,
I was very impressed with your shop. It was clean, organized and well lit. You made me feel very comfortable while explaining the entire process to me. It was a pleasure to watch you work. You took your time and refused to rush through. I appreciate your attention to detail in every facet of the installation. I had only had my truck for two weeks and already there was evidence of small pits on the front finish. You took the time and care to fill them in before you would start. You treated my truck as if it was your own.
I can see the pride you take in your work. I now drive my truck with the confidence knowing that I made an investment to protect the finish of my truck. A week after the installation I made a 500 mile round trip with my wife. When we got home we marvelled at how the front of the truck looked. There were no pits at all and no damage to the protective film. It looked like the day it first applied. The 3M film did exactly what you said it would.
All of my future vehicles will have your expert protection applied to them. I look forward to it. Thank you very much.
A very satisfied customer,

Hi CClub members:
I just had my car over at Ultimate Shield in Southern California to have
the paint protection film installed.
Sean is the owner / master installer at Ultimate Shield, and what awesome work they did to my Cayman S in Atlas Grey! Their workmanship is top notch!
I had the complete front bumper kit installed, along with the full hood and full front fenders option. Also, the headlamps, fog lights, turn signals, and mirrors were also protected with the clear film. I even had my windows tinted there, they were able to install the tint at the same time as the Clear Shield.
There are endless options as to what you can have protected and his shop can readily produce almost any pattern; however, Sean was great at keeping me from going overboard.
I especially like the full hood and full front fenders option because the seams are hidden at the edges of the hood. On the dark Atlas Grey paint, the Clear Shield is virtually invisible.
See the attached pics below...it really is virtually invisible!

Just wanted to say that if you need a EXCELLENT jot of a clear bra being installed PM me so I can give you the information. I know he isn't a supporting vendor, so don't want to break any rules. His name is Sean and he just does outstanding work!!
Very nice, shop is top rate and the prices are great too! I'm so glad I have it on here now as the roads are so dirty in so cal. There are so many options, and he has the plotter right there so he can cut them right in the shop. You can't even see it's there and when you do shine it up the whole car just comes to life. He also custom did my hood so that there was virtually ZERO seam and you have to look for that seam. I went with the full hood for extra protection.
We also did a little fun on the car, blacked out the lights, not the headlights and it just makes the whole car come to life!! I'll get a few better pics when I get her washed up from the drive home, but here are the one's from the shop.
Let me know if you have any questions, and I feel it was money well spent.

Sean,
Thanks for the quote and I've decided to go with another company due to price. I think I've made a wrong pick for someone to install my clearbra and headlights. I will keep your information for future reference.
I had gone with XXXXXXX that I found on the 3M Xpel website. The person was a mobile installer. I had him install the complete kit for my car that 3M made. Now when he was completed with the bumper it did not look right. I noticed under the heavy curve underneath my left and right headlights that there was severe wrinkles looked like it was stretched out? I pointed it out to him and he stated it was the nature of the film and it was called silvering (I had no clue what silvering was, but he stated that was normal?). Also it appears that the film on the front of the hood is lifting somewhat and getting dirt trapped in it as it is not stuck down all the way. When I asked him if he can make it stick down so it will not lift he stated that I should regularly get 25% alcohol and 75% water and spray it in there and wipe it off with a cloth ( I don't think I should be doing this....). Now the headlights he used a film that was not from 3M but from Xpel (much thicker than the normal film that is applied to the body of the car). The film covered the entire headlight, but when he was complete I noticed that it looked like he did a hack job cutting the top excess film and the right side headlight had some piece of debri along with a bulge which looked like my headlight underneath had melted and the plastic film is cracked. I asked him and he stated it is normal and should go away, which I do not understand how this would go away. Now the left side headlight, he left excess film to hang over the bottom of the headlight and asked him if he can remove that as I was afraid that when I went to wash my car that I would peel it off with the sponge over time.
This company I would never recommend as it took him 6hrs to install everything but the headlights. Headlight film it took him 1 week to get in, which I was not happy about.
His appointment scheduling and customer service is terrible. He makes an appointment to do my headlights then says he has another customer going to his house and has a business appointment to go to so he can not do mine, so I had to reschedule.
I will recommend you to my friends and come back with my tail between my legs on my next new car. Thank you for your follow up.

Ultimate Shield did a fantastic job applying their “clear bra” product on my wife’s 2007 XKR Jaguar. Due to fact that the car is black the project was even that much harder. I can tell you the end result looks flawless and gives my wife and I piece of mind knowing that our car is protected. I’ve repainted the front end of other exotic cars due to bug and rock chip damage………………….I paid in excess of $5000.00. This product is cheap insurance.
Ultimate Shield’s attention to detail and courteous staff/service made it that much more valuable!

I recently bought a new Tundra Limited Double Cab pick-up. I did not want to put a bra on it after what happened to my old pick-up. When I took the bra off of my old pick-up, I could not believe the damage. Wear marks, rub marks and damage form rocks and dirt that had got underneath the bra. I figured I would hope for the best with the new Tundra. Well, I was at Pavilions in Anaheim Hills and I noticed this Honda car in the Parking lot with Ultimate Auto Care Logos on it, advertising the Ultimate Invisible Bra. Once I looked at it, I was on the phone to Sean and he explained what it was all about. I asked how soon he could put it on because I was going on vacation to Palm Springs and Las Vegas. He was out in a couple of days and the front of my new truck was protected. I drove my new truck on it's first road trip and not one ding on the front. We even hit a sand storm outside of Vegas. The Ultimate Car Shield worked great and it looks great!! You can hardly tell it is on. And come to find out, Sean has put the Car shield on a friend of mine's car and he is very happy with it. I can not say enough about the customer service and the product. Thanks, Sean!

I've had the clear bra on my Corvette for just over a month and couldn't be happier with it. Your installation work is outstanding and the performance of the product is great. I've heard small stones hit the front of the car with no damage at all to the clear bra. Dirt, bugs and road grime wipe off leaving no marks. All in all it is a great product.
I have and will continue to recommend you to anyone who asks.

Thanks so much for a job well done. I enjoyed chatting with you and my car looks phenomenal. =) Thanks, too, for the movies, almonds and drinks! Continued success to you!
Testinmonial:
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!

Hey Sean,
Thanks for the follow up and pics. Really appreciate it. I couldn’t be happier with your work and service. The clear shield and tint work that you did were top notch and are getting compliments from my friends. The end result is really money well spent and I am glad that I did not go anywhere else. Thank you for the excellent work and for going out of your way to have me be at work while my car was in your shop.
More power to you and again my sincerest thanks for the excellent work.

OC Clearbra install
Well, after extensive research I finally found someone in OC that I trusted to do a Clearbra install on my NSX. My research kept pointing to Premier, but their LA location was not convenient for me. The guy I used was highly recommended on the BMW forums.
I picked the car up last night and I'm pleased with what he did. I opted to have the nose and full hood done, rather than the partial hood and unsightly line that many cars have across the hood. The installer had never done a full hood before, and consequently he made one very small error behind the washer spray nozzle, but unless I pointed it out most people won't notice it. I have no pictures to post because, well, the bra is clear.
So, here are the particulars; I had the complete front of the car and the full hood covered, as well as half of the front fenders. I also had the mirrors covered, the leading edge on the air intakes and the spats behind the rear wheels. The price was $1125. The upcharge for the full hood ($350) is included in the total, so if you only did the typical partial hood your price would presumably be considerably less.

Sean,
I must state that the various jobs you did with the installation of the 3M Clear Shield on my car is impeccable. When you described the options I had I knew I chose someone who not only knew the product, but also took pride in his work. When I had to have my bumpers repainted the clear bra that was installed by another shop was not the same professional installation you did originally. That cut did not cover the whole surface area of the bumper. You were able to repair the job that was completed by someone else and the whole surface area of the bumper was protected once again. Also, kudos to the job you did on the rear bumper. When you finished the custom work of installing the clear bra over the ENTIRE rear bumper. It was as good, if not, better than if it would have been precut from a pattern. I highly recommend your integrity and professionalism for those who want nothing but quality work done on their automobile.

Hi Sean,
Thanks for the pictures! I am very pleased with the Clear Bra and they have been the best installs I have had! Truly professional and pretty damn close to perfect.
Thanks again for the great work!

Sean,
Thanks for doing such a great job on protecting my GT, not only the precut patterns were perfect, even the custom pieces turned out flawless also. I'll bring over the other cars for you to work on soon.

Sean, thanks for the great service & work. I really like my new clear bra. I can hardly see it. It is awesome!!! I told my buddy, Cliff Riggs about you. He has a new Dodge Charger RT and wants a clear bra. He said he will call you.
Talk and see you soon.

Sean,
It was a pleasure doing business with you. I look forward to bringing my cars to you in the future.
To all potential future customers. Sean does outstanding work and a true professional. I was considering going to another company that was closer to home. After viewing Sean's website, then driving by the other company it was clear that Sean took pride in his business. I was not disappointed when I arrived at his shop. It was immaculate. While watching him work I saw that he was a skilled perfectionist. I was definitely pleased with my choice and the work that Sean did.

Thanks again for the clear bra. You were very professional and I love the excellent job you did, you beat other competitor prices, scheduled me in the very next day that I called, and you touched up the chip on my bumper for free! If it wasn't for the LCD TV, movies, playstation and the free energy drinks, I would've sat there in the shop going insane. Thanks again for the excellent job, will be sure to refer anyone interested your way.

Sean:
Thank you for the most excellent work on my wife's new Camry.
She was very skeptical about the idea of an invisible bra to protect the front of her car, as she dislikes the regular black vinyl types, but, you won her over with the invisible one.
Thank you, and good fortune to you

Hey Sean
I’ve attached a couple photos for you.
bugs.jpg shows the front end of the Corvette after the drive from ND back to CA. I had just pulled into my driveway in CA after 24 hours and 1706 miles. Total trip was 3500 miles. I collected a few bugs along the way. Over the whole trip the car saw days of rain, a little hail (bb sized), some gravel and really isn’t any worse for the wear. The clear bra did exactly what it was suppose to. There are a couple dents in the clear bra that I’m sure could have brought a tear to my eye if it would have been bare paint.

sky.jpg shows the sky that spawned a few tornadoes back home in ND and hail up to 3” in diameter. The Corvette was in the garage for that storm.
There are a number of amazing car collections back home in ND. Dave Ressler of course has one of the finest Corvette collections in the world – including the 2009 ZR1 which he paid 1mil for and the oldest Corvette – a 1953 serial number 3 purchased for 1mil. An old bicycle buddy has some 20 odd Mustangs. Another person has a couple Vectors. And the list goes on.
Thanks again for the great job installing the clear bra.

Sean, when we left on Thursday the winds were blowing and you could hear the sand pelting the car, I could not have picked a better time to use product. It is oblivious that you guys have a passion for automobiles and a keen skill that will keep looking their best.

Good Afternoon, Sean You did my wives car this morning in Ranch Cucamonga. I just wanted to say Thank you for doing a excellent job. I will keep your number and be giving it out.
I will probably be buying a new car this next year and would have you put this 3m on. I have been using this product for several years. I am very impressed with the job you did.
It is hard to find people that REALLY know how to put this on. Thanks again and have a nice Thanksgiving

Sean and Lisa:
First thnx for the first rate service to my SS. It looks great and you went the extra mile which makes first rate+ service. Also the polish, soap and mitt will help me "do better" on my own.
The added benefit was to see and talk to Lisa as well as seeing the picts of Cobin and Macie. They are very attractive children and take after their parents in that respect. I assume their "personal nature" is like yours too (nice) which does make them truly great children.
I look forward to keeping in touch.

Hi Sean,
So not two days after I brought my TSX over to your shop I managed to crunch my left front bumper and quarter panel into a parking pole as I was pulling out of my parking place at work.
I took the car over to Anaheim Hills Auto Body which is where I have had work done in the past and I was quite surprised and pleased when they told me that they use your services to repair the clear bra! (He asked me who installed the bra and I said Sean Heiland and he said, "That's who we use.") I was very happy since now I know my car will be fixed perfectly.
Anyway, be on the lookout for my car soon.

Hi Sean,
just wanted to get a quote for a 3m clearbra treatment for the boxster S. That would be the bumper, hood and fenders. As per our conversation over the phone, can you please provide a list of days/ time slots when you can take the car?

Hi Sean,
Thanks for the pic's. I started the below thread on the GT forum. Last I check it was viewed 198 times. If you read through the comments you'll see there some thought of using your company for the upcoming national GT rally. It in August and in Newport Beach this year. You may be asked to work some weird hours but I bet you can charge a premium for it. Should be around 100 cares or so. If we plan ahead some owners might want the film in addition to detailing.
I'll keep my eye on it and let you know.....you probably can post a comment on this thread to lock yourself in as THE detailer for the event.
Let me know if I can help,
Chris

First the standard disclosure - I've got nothing to gain from this recommendation....I paid full price & will gladly continue to do so.
After toiling over which film product to install (roadgard, 3M, Venture etc.) I decided to use a new version of Venture the was just recently released. Next I needed to decide where to go. A couple of members from this forum recommended Sean from Ultimate Auto Care in Orange CA. Well thanks for the recommendation
This isn't my first "nice" car...I've been to many high end detailers in Sol Cal and haven't been happy with any of them. There's usually a smooth talker in the front office and a bunch of low paid knuckle-heads in the back with a buffer. Not the case at Ultimate. Everyone I met there was a professional and the shop was immaculate. I brought the GT in with quite a few battle-scars from less talented detailers. Some, from what it appears, supported their body weight with a buffing wheel on my car. As well as a host of other issues. They had it for 2 days and I'm delighted to say it looks better than new. They got out ever imperfection before they covered it in Venture Shield. Which, IMO, has less orange peel than anything I've seen to date. No "milkiness" or stretch marks either. Every time I called (probably too many times) Sean picked up the phone personally to give me an update. It wasn't "cheap" but this is a great example of you get what you pay for.....and, in retrospect, I'd have paid more. No one will touch my car other than Ultimate from now on.....
Also, this should put an end to the debate as to which is the best color for a GT......clearly all black is the way to go.

Just wanted to say thank you for the outstanding work you did installing the 3m clear bra and rocker package on my 2007 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab.
After meeting you and seeing your shop I had know doubts that the work would be done right. You are a person who pays attention to details and takes pride in doing excellent work and stands behind his work. That is a quality in today's times that is hard to find.
I will recommend your services to everyone I know.
Once again thanks to you and your staff.

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,

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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
