2012 Volkswagen R32. Just a few months old, owner had it waxed about a month ago, then found out about Opti-Coat and decided to go that route. The car was in excellent shape, a few buffer swirls (probably from the factory right out of the paint booth) on the passenger side A pillar, very light...

Owner contacted me a couple weeks ago, he'd just picked up a 2012 Subaru Outback and was concerned about some swirls/marring on the hood. I met up with him at his office to look over the car and give him an estimate. Other than about a 2' x 2' section of the hood, the paint looked really good...

Owner purchased this car a couple years ago, mostly as a weekend toy. Just doesn't drive it enough so he had it at a consignment lot. He drove by last week and noticed it was outside (deal was the car stayed in the showroom) and looked like it had been driven through mud. He stopped to check on...

2012 Hyundai Elantra. Owner picked this up for his daughter, he'd bought her a Honda Pilot during her senior year in high school, deal was she gets good grades her first year in college she gets a new vehicle. The dealership tried hard to talk the owner into their sealant package but after he...

Long time customer of mine, so long that his oldest daughter was about a year old when I started detailing his cars, she starts her senior year in high school in a few weeks. Time flies, eh? He and his family were going to be on vacation so all three of their vehicles would be at rest in the...

2009 BMW 535, owner picked it up a few weeks ago. Had some holograms on the trunk lid and water spots on the hood, otherwise it was in pretty good shape for a 3 year old BMW with sapphire black paint. It could have used a full correction but after taking care of the issues on the hood and trunk...

I got a call from a customer whose G35 coupe I detailed a couple years ago. He'd recently purchased a black G37S 6 speed and wasn't pleased at all about the "detail" done by the dealer. They offered to fix it but he wisely declined. I have another customer who has a black M45 the same dealer...

Did several maintenance details this past week. Customers were mainly interested in additional gloss and protection and we did every one of them in the full sun on the hottest week of the year (highs were 102-107 all week). Same process for all 5. The 323 definitely needs more polishing but...

2008 Infiniti G35S. Originally I was going to detail his Porsche Carrera but he wants to get a few things done to it before handing it over to me. Paint wasn't too bad, light to moderate swirls, typically hard but consistent Nissan paint. ONR wash Clay Magic blue clay Optimum Hyper...

2007 Lexus IS350, been taking care of this one since it was new. Usually go out 2-3 times a year to lightly polish and wax it. Due to the owner's diligence in keep up the finish, it is amazingly swirl free for a 5 year old car that hasn't ever been corrected. It hadn't been washed in a few...

Trying to catch up, been really busy this week, still have a bunch of pictures I haven't even gone through yet. But I'd rather be working than posting pics! 2004 Mercedes ML350. Sort of regular customer, seems to have something for me every 6-12 months, whenever the mood hits I guess. This...

A guy called me over the weekend to look at his E46 M3. Apparently, when he was out of town, his brother decided to plastidip the whole car white. The owner of the car has been able to get it off most of the paint, the problem is the areas around the lights (which will have to come out to access...

2009 BMW X6. Long term regular customer, takes pretty good care of his cars. Just wanted this one cleaned up for his wife. Nothing too fancy, just clean, shiny and protected. ONR wash, Opti-Raser clay sponge (test product) Optimum Hyper Polish using an Optimum microfiber cutting pad and my...

2012 Ferrari 458 Italia, one year old, only a few hundred miles on it. Owner travels a lot in his business, plus he has the Porsche, an AMG C63 and a Porsche Cayenne Turbo (we are going back Friday to Opti-Coat the Cayenne, probably do the AMG too since they are his daily drivers). It had a few...

I detailed and Opti-Coated the owner's GTR last fall (which was looking quite excellent!), went out today to take care of his turbocharged 1996 Miata, which is his daily driver. The front end had been repainted a few years back but then chewed up by rock chips on a gravel road he had to drive...

2013 Subaru BRZ. This one was in great shape other than a small nick and a touch of paint missing on the edge of the passenger door. Owner already had the proper touch-up paint on hand, was able to make quick work of those two very minor defects. The paint itself was swirl free, a welcome change...

A customer of mine called to have his sister's MDX detailed as a present for her. Just wanted a good interior cleaning and the outside detailed. Nothing fancy, one polishing step would be fine. We started like usual, an ONR wash while using the test Opti-Raser clay sponge. The paint was...

2013 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible Special Edition, owner was the 2nd person to order one (making it apparently #3 of 500 since the 1st one was sold at auction at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale this year). It is basically a Z06 convertible with the ZR1 magnetic ride suspension, and a leather...

I guess Opti-Coat is the new hotness for FR-S owners, my e-mail and phone are blowing up with calls about it. I know others are getting calls too, thanks to Hazma for mentioning us on the FR-S forum. :) Really like this color, Hot Lava, looks terrific on the FR-S. This particular one wasn't...

2013 BMW 328, owner picked it up yesterday afternoon, insisted the dealership not wash the car. Other than a few bugs stuck to the front, it was in terrific shape! ONR wash, Opti-Raser clay sponge Optimum Hyper Polish using an Optimum microfiber polishing pad and my PC 7424 XP on speed 6...
