Original thread is here: http://www.autopia.org/forum/click-brag/146188-tired-teslas-yet-model-s-optimum-coating.html Didn't get pictures, the owner was kind enough to take some today and forward them to me. ONR wash, Opti-Raser mild to clay Opti-Coat primer using a test 5" orange foam...

2014 Tesla Model S, owner recently acquired this car and wanted it properly protected with Optimum Coating. We also did their Lincoln MXK...but forgot to get any pictures. Long day, wanted to beat rush hour and also didn't want to inconvenience the owners after it was already garaged. Anyway...

2009 Chevy Corvette. I recently detailed his BMW 328 that he was selling and the Corvette is the replacement. Definitely not stock, cam has a nasty lope and it puts out around 430 HP to the wheels, about what a stock Z06 does. Got a ride after finishing the detail, made my 250 HP Accord feel so...

1998 Porsche Carrera. I was able to work this one in quicker than usual due to the dreadful forecast for this weekend. The car had been repainted white (it was blue), mostly OEM level quality but some areas had moderate orange peel and a few had defects that were under the clear. The goal was to...

2013 Ford C-Max. Owner contacted me a few weeks back about getting his Ford C-Max and Subaru BRZ protected with Opti-Coat. Since the BRZ was back at the dealer for some warranty work (apparently its been a regular thing since he bought it) it wasn't available until this past weekend. To save...

1984 Mercedes Benz 300D, owner contacted me about having it cleaned up for sale. He'd had it detailed about 6 months ago and was not at all happy about how the car turned out. The horizontal surfaces were oxidized and apparently they didn't do much to alleviate the dullness. Paint also had...

Like the E46 3 series, the coupe has been carried over a year into the new model like production, so yes, this is a 2013 E92. The owner contacted me a couple weeks ago about a detail. He wasn't necessarily looking for a full on correction, just a good basic detail and paint protection. Overall...

2011 BMW 535. The owner bought this car at the same place as the owner of the black M37x I posted last week (they are coworkers) and apparently the same hack who "detailed" the M37 did the same ugly things to this 535. As has been the case with the last several non-jet...

2007 Lexus IS350. The new owner contacted me a few weeks back, said he was flying into the Dallas area to pick up a Lexus IS350 he was going to buy. He said it looked decent enough in the pictures but he wanted it clayed, polished and sealed and whatever I felt the interior needed. Overall it...

2012 Mercedes AMG C63. Owner recently picked it up from the original owner who lived in San Diego. Unfortunately, the paint's condition made me wonder if it had been up north or maybe to the mountains because it looked like someone used a broom to brush snow off it. Lots of diagonal scratches...

1981 Lamborghini Countach, the owner recently acquired it from the previous owner in Sweden and had it shipped here. It has been repainted, looks like some things were taped off, probably because I'm not sure you can full disassemble the car to prevent at least some taping with a repaint. Pretty...

Just got a call from a gentleman who has had a '68 Imperial convertible in storage with the top down (apparently it no longer goes up) and the exterior of the storage unit was painted and they managed to get overspray on the paint and interior. The owner says the car is in original condition (he...

2013 Audi S8 and 2011 Porsche Boxster. The owner recently did the factory pick-up on the S8 so I wasn't sure what to expect but it appears everyone got the message to keep their hands off the car because it was in great shape. Porsche was as well, its a weekend toy so it isn't driven much...

Owner was referred to me through a mutual friend he knows on one site and I know on another. Initially he wanted me to teach him how to use his new Griots DA along with the Meguiars #105/205 he'd purchased. He wasn't having much luck and the dusting of #105 was understandably an issue as well. I...

1987 Monte Carlo SS. Not sure of all the history of this car (2nd hand from the owner's wife) but apparently the current owner went with his dad to pick it up new. Keychain even has a picture he drew as a kid with "1987" on it. The car has been in storage for a while, now the owner wants to use...

2009 Nissan GTR, main issue was over spray. Luckily he called me quickly about it and I had a half day open a few days later so it wasn't on the car very long. And for a 3 year old, it was pretty much swirl free save for a section of the hood. Being metallic white and the over spray also being...

2013 Ford Raptor. Owner declined dealer prep and had me out a few days after he'd picked it up to have Opti-Coat applied to it. The paint was as swirl free as he said, it was just pretty dirty from the rain earlier in the week. ONR wash, Opti-Raser Pink to clay 3D HD Polish using an Optimum...

2013 Ford Boss Mustang. Owner recently picked it up and he made sure the dealer kept their mitts off it. Really good shape overall, just needed light claying, polishing and sealing. ONR wash, Opti-Clay Pink (mild) to clay 3D HD Polish using an Optimum MF polishing pad and Rupes 21 DA...

Trying to catch up, got 6 weeks worth of details I haven't had time to post. 2012 Audi A6. Owner recently picked this up, realizes his Spider sense should have gone off when the detailer said "we're just finishing up detailing it now" when he picked it up. Typical dealer work, rotary...

Several people in Houston have been trying to get me to come down for a few years now to detail cars. When a couple of them bought new vehicles and decided they wanted Opti-Coat on them, they got together to make sure there were enough cars for 3-4 days of work and a central location for us to...
