Show Car Wow

Richard Lin takes the art of auto detailing to a whole new level of merry and bright.

Cruising the main drag and lined up at the car washes on a Saturday morning, you can see for yourself just how many car collectors and motor enthusiasts there are in our local area. There are hundreds of classic car Meetup group members in Orange County with their vintage hot rods and classic cars, while hundreds more hang out in their retro garages wiping down the dash while Jimmy Buffet plays on a tape deck. All these people know someone who can restore the exterior paint and chrome of their regular ride as well as their weekend restoration vehicle to their finest glory days. Richard Lin of Show Car Perfection will make easy work of dings and scratches to restore and preserve auto paint jobs, from BMWs to Lamborghinis, and hotrods to minivans.

Richard Lin began his auto paint career more than 15 years ago using products that helped him become a world-wide industry expert. Although his passion for cars steered his career towards auto detailing, his interest in photography, writing, and business led him to invent Black Wow® trim restorer for the auto detailing industry and was featured in many videos and blogs for his auto detailing tutorials. He developed other inventions that have received rave reviews by the auto detailing industry: One Grip and PC Guard.

You might think an expensive exotic car would demand an exotic price for an excellent paint job, but Richard is adamant about their Show Car reputation being a fair one. “We are known for doing amazing work, and it doesn’t matter if we are working on a Ferrari Italia 458 or restoring a Saturn Wagon; it is all about perfecting and improving the paint. We only charge for the work needed to achieve and surpass the expectations of the owners.”


This year Richard and GillianMay have much to be grateful for because 2020 hasn’t been easy for anyone. “I am so grateful to provide a service to the same community I live in because it makes servicing all my clients like helping out a neighbor. Our incredible clients stepped up and helped us by offering cars to work on when business slowed to a trickle during the shut-down. Our business model has always involved customers dropping off their vehicles and leaving it for several days, weeks, or months. As the industry became more knowledgeable about COVID-19, we also took precautions to minimize exposure through the use of protocols and personal protective equipment.”

At Show Car Perfection, their goal and highest priority have always been to exceed client expectations. From the first meeting of auto and detailer, they want to understand your concerns about your car’s appearance and confirm the services needed to accomplish your short- or long-term objectives for the appearance of your car. For the past 15 years, they have provided a high level of repair services, including paint, glass, headlight, wheels, trim, tint, paint protection film, and vinyl. They recently scaled back the volume of work to focus solely on performing specialty work for clients. Show Car Perfection is the exclusive US Distributor for CS-II Ceramic Coatings and the manufacturer and distributor for BlackWow® Trim Restorer. 

Best of all, they know that what’s best for your car’s paint is also the best for the cars that they drive. When you’re out and about, you might see Richard around town driving his black 2010 Mini Cooper Clubman S, or GillianMay in her black 2012 Mini Cooper Convertible S!
