Checking in after relatively cool weather in Raleigh, Cary, Durham area for the summer/fall temperatures. Usually I'm cringing from the amount of sweat and humidity we have to deal with.

First up, Opticoat details for new cars. Clients listened and appreciate something that just "sticks"!

New jeeps are pretty darn nice, very different fit and finish.

2014 Corvette Stingray with Z51 Package. Aka the "Batman". This one has been a royal pain due to the dropping temperatures for fall. I'll recheck this one soon enough. Wheels off removal, OptiGlass to windows, Opticoat to paint. Paints on these are a bit odd, they can scratch with the wrong towel and pressure. Yet a bit hard for the deeper defects which makes me think temperature of the composites really affect polishing results. Trim around these cars are metallic, which is what they should produce instead of a flat black!

Light panels everywhere.

Proper 17 mile pickup instructions from the dealership: don't touch it! Leave the packaging on.

Wheels off, removal was a royal paint but easy going work to Opticoat.

Light swirling and soiling from being left underneath a tree. Vehicle was obviously improperly washed at the bodyshop. Thankfully White Pad + HD Polish cut through a huge amount of the damage.
