2011 Mazda3. Driven by the owner's daughter at her college, her assigned parking spot is under the lone tree in the lot. Worst sap I've ever seen. Car was covered top to bottom. 
 
Owner has purchased a car cover for her to use this coming school year. 
 
Half clayed-entire car was like the right side of the picture. 
 

 
ONR wash
Opti-Clay black (aggressive), took two of us 2 hours to fully clay the car
Optimum G-P-S using a Meguiars yellow foam polishing pad and Rupes DA
Armor All on tires/wheel wells

2012 BMW 535. Car is in exceptional condition, owner washes it himself, even washes it a day or two before we come out-would rather we concentrate on the detailing aspect and not washing months of grime off it. 
 
ONR wash
Opti-Clay yellow (mild) to spot clay
Optimum Hyper Polish using an orange Optimum foam waffle cutting pad and Rupes DA
Optimum Opti-Seal
Armor All on tires/wheel wells

Test sealant on a Corvette 427 Convertible, incredible depth and wetness:

2013 Subaru BRZ. The car was coated with Opti-Coat 2.0 in April 2013 (owner's request-had two cars done the same day, OC Pro was going to be out of his budget) and since that time, he has added a carbon fiber hood and tracks the car. Between Drilling holes for the hood and not fully wiping off the metal shavings and tracking the car, it had some minor rust spots that he tried to remove by hand compounding. Since there was no available shade at his office and it being in the upper 80s/low 90s, IronX or and ABC wash would be tough to do safely-not really stuff you want to dry on the paint. Ended up having great results with the new black Opti-Clay. As aggressive as Clay Magic Purple but more gentle on the paint. 
 
The hood was purchased from another BRZ owner already painted. Unfortunately, the color match is off and since the owner intends to have it repainted by spring, I just did a quick compound/polish and Opti-Seal to remove the swirls and keep it protected until it gets repainted.
