So it's been a while since I've done a write up and felt it was time I got back at it...
2013 Subaru BRZ in for paint correction and Opti-Coat Pro application. Owner lives just over 2hrs away so no pre-inspection was possible on this one and we just scheduled it for a 1-step correction and coating.
The time frame on this one was also a little tighter than I'm used to as I normally start on my cars Friday night, getting them all washed and prepped. Then Saturday I come in and I will polish and coat the vehicle and leave it inside overnight to cure. With this job the client couldn't leave until Saturday morning because of work, and it was about 10:35 Saturday morning when he pulled up. After pulling the car in and inspecting the paint I could see the sides were pretty swirled up from "slap n' scratch" washes, likely done at the dealership since the owner never brought it through one. The tops were in pretty good shape though so I knew a 1-step would be fine there, but the sides I wasn't so sure on. The owners ride to the hotel arrived shortly after and I just told him I'd contact him if there were issues. After doing a few test spots I decided to just 2-step the lower sides panels as there were far to many deeper defects left behind from the 1-step combo.
Process:
Wash - ONR, MF towels for wash media, boars hair brush for cracks, crevices, emblems with OPC
Wheels - Sonax Full Effect, various brushes and wash mitt
Tires - OPC, Tuf Shine tire brush, dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing 4:1
Decon - IronX, Speedy Prep Towel with Glide for lube
Paint correction - D300/Megs MF Finishing discs on lowers and rids with Rupes LHR21 and LHR75, Finished with Sonax PF on the Rupes LHR21 and G110v2 with LC tangerine pads.
Coating Prep - Eraser wipe-down 2x with Great White MF towels (6 towels)
Coating - Opti-Coat Pro with CarPro micro suede applicators on paint, trim, lights, and wheels (face and barrels)
Pics (none prior to wash, sorry)
Dealer advertisement to be removed (heat gun)
Swirls on lowers...looked worse that I was able to get the pics to show...
