Shelby Super Snake Gets a Full Detail and Paint Protection Treatment

A Shelby Super Snake is not just a car. It's a limited-production machine with a finish, carbon fiber aero kit, and custom wheels that all require a completely different level of care than your average daily driver. Throwing it through an automated car wash is not an option - not if you actually care about what you're looking at.

That's the mindset we bring to every car like this. We started with a full exterior hand wash, working panel by panel to clear off any road grime, brake dust, and contaminants without putting a single swirl mark in that red paint. On a car this aggressive, the paint depth is one of the first things you notice, and we weren't about to let sloppy technique dull it out.

After the wash came wax and polish. This is where the real protection happens. A proper coat of wax isn't just about shine - it creates a barrier between the clear coat and everything the road throws at it. UV rays, dust, heat, debris. On a car parked or driven in a desert climate, that protection matters even more. The red on this Super Snake pops the way it's supposed to when the finish is properly maintained.

The wheel and tire detailing on a car sitting on custom bronze multi-spoke wheels with Michelin rubber is its own job entirely. Brake dust bonds to wheel finishes fast and gets harder to remove the longer it sits. We cleaned every spoke, conditioned the tires, and left the whole setup looking as sharp as the rest of the car.

Cars like this deserve to be taken care of the right way. Not rushed, not cut short. That's what we do at Bartlett Detail LLC.
