Rasky's Auto Detailing
Did this one a few weeks ago with some help from Justin. Client had contacted me inquiring about the cost of the Opti-Guard application so we scheduled a time to meet where I could evaluate the cars condition. Over all it wasn't too bad, but there were several deep RIDS and the PPF looked terrible for having just been installed. The car had been prepped by the dealer and then washed once by the PPF installer...other than that it had not been washed by the owner and hasn't seen rain or snow yet. For some reason the metal panels were a PITA to correct, products didn't want to wipe off and just acted weird...we tried man different combinations too. The bumper covers and lower rocker panels didn't have this issue, but the clear was much, much harder!
Process:
Wash - ONR
Wheels - Sonax FE
Tires - OPC
Clay - Blackfire clay with Final Inspection as lube
Initial Correction step - D300/MF on the GG6. M101 on the rockers via GG6 and Cyan LC pads
Refining step - 106fa via GG6 equipped with black LC pads.
Jewelling step - PO85RD via Flex PE14 and blue LC pads. (106fa on the DA looked really good and Justin and I agreed the owner would have been more then happy at that point. However, a test spot with PO85RD via rotary made a slight, yet noticeable difference on this paint. I had the car an extra day and some time to kill before Justin came back so me being OCD, I went ahead and did this step on the house)
Coating prep - ONR wash followed by a good wipe-down with Eraser
Opti-Guard - Applied using Carpro Micro Suede applicator (All paint, trim, lights, wheels)
Before pics
Some of the deeper RIDS
Swirls in the paint didn't translate too well in the pics...
The swirls in the (brand new) PPF showed up pretty good though...
50/50 on the PPF
Swirls on the rocker panels showed up well too (they were a little worse though)
Rocker corrected
Pulled the car out in the sun after an Eraser wipe-down to check my work and get sun pics while I had a chance. These are prior to Opti-Guard
Me applying the Opti-Guard
Justin followed me leveling off any high spots....the 2 person application is great IMO!
Look how focused he is! :lol:
