Someone You Should Know – Decarli’s Restaurant

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — Jason Barker

July 20, 2011

Decarli is an ambitious restaurant created by Jana and Paul Decarli, a husband and wife team who along with their professional staff, are dedicated to food, wine, and providing an excellent dining experience.

Decarli is committed to showcasing the state’s considerable bounty of seasonal ingredients.  Paul’s culinary style draws on his Swiss/Italian-American roots to create food that is at once sophisticated and rustic.

The restaurant’s interior reflects the couple’s approach to food and wine—warm, inviting, thoughtful and authentic.  The 4000 square foot space features restored Douglas Fir floors, exposed brick walls, and a soaring beam and rafters ceiling punctuated with skylights.  A highlight of the dining room is a large brass chandelier salvaged from downtown Portland’s historic Benson Hotel.  An open kitchen overlooks the comfortable bar area.

Faded Paint, Faded Love

Filed under: Information — Tags: , , — Jason Barker

I miss you darling, more and more every day, As Heaven would miss the stars above. With every heartbeat, I still think of you, And remember our faded love. — Patsy Cline

When I see a vehicle come into the shop that’s suffering from faded paint, that heart rending lyric from Patsy Cline comes to mind. While all paint jobs will fade over time, your car has given you so much love, here’s how you can show it some love in return and slow down the effects of fading…

As mentioned above all vehicle paints fade gradually over time. This is due to exposure to the ultra-violet rays of the sun and chemicals that are in the atmosphere. You can reduce the effects considerably, however, and make your paintwork last much longer, by taking a few simple and easy measures to protect it.

Sunlight

Over time, UV rays will inevitably reduce the shine of your car’s paint, especially on the horizontal surfaces of your hood, roof, and trunk. The best protection against the heat and UV rays of the sun is the regular application of wax/sealant every 4-6 months. The rub here – no pun intended – is using a quality sealant and applying it the correct way. Wax on, wax off is only part of the process. At Fresh Start Detail our Detailing Technicians are formally trained in the correct application of wax and sealants to ensure that they’re properly applied for both maximum coverage and durability.

Chemicals in the Atmosphere

Pollutants in the air like nitric and sulfuric acid are hard to detect but if left on your paint they will slowly degrade your clear coat by gradually eating it away. The best defense against this is regular washing and again, the application of wax/sealant every 4-6 months. And, also like waxing, there IS a right and a wrong way to wash your car.

Prevention is the name of the game because many times, once you notice a problem with your paint, it is too late to repair. Preventive maintenance is ALWAYS cheaper than repairs, so don’t be the cause of faded love when it comes to your car. Stop in and let us help you keep the color shining bright!
