Southern Rod & Custom Automotive Detailing Studio

Protect it properly from day one.

This brand new Toyota RAV4 came into the studio for Modesta protection before getting into everyday life.

With the paint properly prepared and Modesta applied, it leaves with an incredible finish, added protection and a surface that’s much easier to maintain.

When you’re investing in a brand new vehicle, quality protection from the beginning just makes sense.

New car on the way? Get in touch and let’s make sure it’s protected properly from day one.

This Dodge Hellcat came through the studio for a full Modesta protection package.

With a combination of matte and gloss paintwork, it was important that each finish was protected correctly while maintaining the look it was designed to have.

The glass was also coated for improved water repellency and easier maintenance, while the leather received protection to help guard against everyday wear, staining and grime.

A Hellcat is already a pretty serious bit of gear — now this one has the protection to match.

Paint. Glass. Leather. All protected with Modesta.

This Mercedes-AMG GLE 63S came into the studio after its new owner recently purchased it and wanted to give the paintwork the protection it deserved.

And it’s a good reminder — Modesta isn’t just for brand-new cars.

Pre-owned vehicles can absolutely benefit from Modesta protection. With the right preparation, decontamination and paint correction beforehand, we can bring the paintwork back to life before locking in that finish with Modesta.

The result on this black Mercedes speaks for itself. Incredible depth, gloss and clarity, with long-term protection that also makes the vehicle much easier to maintain.

Whether your car has just rolled out of the dealership or you’ve just picked up the second-hand car you’ve been searching for, it’s never too late to protect it properly.

Another one protected and ready to be enjoyed

Fresh off the showroom floor and straight into the studio 🙌

This brand new Hyundai Palisade was driven straight from the dealership to us to receive Modesta paint protection before hitting the road properly.

Starting with protection from day one is one of the best things you can do for a new car — keeping the paint looking glossier for longer, making it easier to wash and helping protect it from everyday wear.

If you’ve got a new car on the way and want to look after it properly from the start, get in touch and let’s line it up.
