    Tesla Model S, Charger RT, Imprezza STi, Golf R all Opti-Coated

    2012 Tesla Model S. Very impressive build quality, excellent paint. Just some minor scratching where a bird bomb was removed. Other than that the paint was defect free. Couldn't find any buffer or spider swirls with my halogen. ONR wash, Optimum nano-skin to clay Optimum Hyper Polish using...

    2013 BMW X5 5.0 Opti-Coated

    Regular customer just picked up a new Vermilion Red BMW X5 5.0 for his wife (he has ordered an Audi RS5 for himself, should be in towards the end of the year) to replace her previous generation X5. Still had the dealer tags and it appears that the dealer mostly kept their hands off it so the...

    E46 M3, F-150, C6 Gran Sport Corvette

    2003 BMW M3 and 2011 Ford F-150. The M3 is a street/track car so absolute perfection isn't worth the time or $$$ but the owner still likes to keep the paint glossy and protected. The F-150 is a recent purchase, he wasn't happy with how bland the paint looked. Neither car had any serious swirling...

    S4, GTR, Prius, '78 Corvette, Miata

    2011 Audi S4. Owner drove up from Houston to Plano to purchase the car and had me give it a good once over before he headed back to Houston. It was in surprisingly good shape, appears if the dealer did do anything, it didn't involve a buffer. ONR wash, Optimum Nanoskin to remove contaminants...

    Got something new to try

    Wish I had time today but my bike is calling me... :lol Smells really good, seems to be a citrus scent. More a pale green color than the brighter green in the picture. Should be able to test it tomorrow.

    Arizona trip full write-up, 2 Saab corrections/Opti-Coat, C6, Fiesta, GTI, Boss 302

    2011 Saab 9.5, sat on a dealer's lot for about a year or so. Plastic was on the horizontal surfaces, nothing on the sides. Not sure what they ran it through to clean it, but whatever it was trashed the sides bad. Horizontal surfaces also had swirls but not as bad. However, there was a lot of...

    2008 Toyota Prius. Owner is considering having the Telsa he has on order Opti-Coated so he had us apply it to his Prius to see how it looked. Seemed to be quite pleased, Tesla should be here in a month or two...supposedly. Nothing too special needed. ONR wash, Optimum grey nano skin to...

    2003 Subaru Outback, 1 step near correction

    Originally met the owner of this 2003 Subaru Outback a few years ago, he kept my contact information and called me a couple weeks ago about his 2003 Subaru Outback. We met up so I could look it over, noticed a plethora of swirls and a general haziness to the paint. He'd never had a car detailed...

    FRS Opti-Coated, Saturn Vue paint bomb removal

    2013 Scion FRS. The owner wisely declined any dealer prep (although they did dress the tires) so this one was the best condition of the several I have taken care of. It did have some light rotary holograms near the driver's side rear C pillar and some marring on top of both rear fenders...

    Another dealership hack job v. CTS coupe

    I was contacted a few weeks ago by a gentleman wanting his 2012 CTS and Corvette detailed. He was just looking for a basic detail for both, but he left extra $$$ "just in case". After looking over his CTS coupe in the sun, I gave him a call and explained to him that the buffer swirls all over...

    Bet no one else has Opti-Coated one of these...

    [A John Deere tractor!] A customer called to have us out again to wax his Expiditon XL and asked if we'd be willing to put Opti-Coat on something very different. He explained he recently had his John Deere tractor restored (except the wheels) and since the single stage paint seemed to be on...

    Shelby Mustang, Colorado, TSX

    2010 Shelby Mustang GT500. Owner recently purchased this car and wasn't particularly happy with how the finish looked. Arranged to go by and look at the car and I had to agree, it needed work. Lots of spider swirls, some water spotting and rotary swirls. The color was pretty flat looking as...

    100 degree days return just in time for a dark blue Ford F-250 detail!

    Still beats trying to do this when it is 35 degrees. This particular F-250 has been sitting outside for months, the owner is doing contract work in Afghanistan. He had expected to return home around Labor Day and wanted it cleaned up before he arrived. Apparently his arrival has been delayed...

    Decided to polish out my car and reapply Opti-Coat

    I put Opti-Guard on my Accord a couple years before I bought it from my Dad. Since I was doing a freebie on both their cars, I didn't do any polishing. And being a mostly cloudy day, I didn't see any thing that warranted polishing. Now that I've had it nearly a year, a couple areas, one on the...

    2009 BMW X5. Friend from another board I post on is moving from Houston to Colorado, wanted to stop in Arlington on the way (his brother lives here) to have his recent acquisition properly protected for the much harsher winters he will deal with in Colorado. We really lucked out today, the huge...

    Aston Martin Vantage

    Detailed this one on June 1st, he'd put some miles on it this summer so it was ready for another detail. After I got the swirls out of it, he was afraid to let anyone else touch it and he hadn't had time to clean it himself so it had nearly 3 months of dirt, grime, brake dust, etc to contend...
