Funny thing about this car is we had actually 2 stage polished it and protected it with Opti Coat Pro in the spring for the previous owner. Randomly by chance the new owner brought in his Cayenne diesel and mentioned he had bought this Scud and wanted to bring it in for another detail before storage. Lol small world and funny how things work out like that sometimes.

I didn't get pics the first time but definitely with it in again I had to get pics of it in the shop!

I just machine waxed the paint at a low speed, nothing interesting, but I tried to make it look interesting lol

Me, Myself, and I waxing




Clean the windows


Dress the tires


And last but not least, use a tooth pick to clean the wax out the crevices




And now, the finished pics










And finally, my last two favourite pictures

 

We had Opti Coated this client's BMW F31 and he had mentioned how he had lost a Dakar Yellow e46 M3 in a flood and was trying to figure out what to replace it with. I mentioned an e39 M5 and I guess that planted the seed in his head because a couple months later this low mileage M5 showed up lolol.

Sorry about the lack of after pics but due to the overcast I didn't really get any good shots.

Thanks again for looking!

 

This client actually came in around the same time as the CLK63 Black Series we posted but just for a quote. I had totally forgotten about it when I got a call a couple weeks ago with the owner wanting to bring it in the next day. Perfect! As another customer had rescheduled and the slot was open. I love it when things work out like that! This was a 2 stage polish for storage.

This client had just purchased this SRT8 and wanted to get a "fresh" start with it. He stopped by for an initial assessment and we concluded on a 2 stage polish. I tried to convince him on at least Opti Coat 2.0 or the new version Gloss Coat but in the end we just protected it with a sealant. All in all I was very happy with the out come and the pics. Hope you enjoy the transformation on this beast!

Nice to see shiny cars on a day like today Wes, Thanks

 

Anytime

 

This 1M is actually owned by a very good friend who had his eye on it for a couple months in the BMW Toronto showroom. I didn't think he was going to pull the trigger but surprisingly he did and in it came just before Christmas. I took my time with this one as I wanted it perfect and as shiny as it could be. Hopefully the detail added to the value hahaha.



Arrival pics








Always start with the rims before the wash


Using a brush to clean inside the lugnut area


Microfiber mitt to clean the rim face




Washing with a microfiber chenille mitt and always doing the 2 Bucket Method




Taking paint measurements to see how thick the paint is as well as to long out for any repaints or thin areas to be weary of








After taking measurements as well as masking off the rubber trim we can start the first stage of polishing

Looks fantastic.

 

We were eagerly anticipating this brand new 991 GTS with the Aero package since we learned of the deposit placed down before Christmas. This client has been with us for 5 years now and to see him work up to this has been a pleasure! The paint was not in bad shape and applying Opti Coat Primer via machine pretty much cleaned up the light swirling that was there.

Anyways on to the pics.



It looks like Camp 4 outside of the shop




Claybarring with the Nanoskin Mitt




Rubber and plastic trim masked off




Opti Coat Primer


Applied by machine. I love the uniform look




Blurry polishing




Opti Coat Pro

Double checking our work


I love taking flake shots




And the finished shots








Looking forward to maintaining this one on an annual basis and I hope you enjoyed the pics!

 

We had detailed this client's RS before as well as his 997.2 RS so we were familiar with the paint as well as the condition of the car. Always a pleasure to see this one and work on it as well. The paint was looking just a little rough and we were hoping a 1 stage polish would be enough but in the end we did a non aggressive 2 stage polish which was protected afterwards with Opti Gloss Coat.

As usual, hope you enjoy the pics!

After the wheel cleaning and 2 bucket car wash we clayed the paint with the Nano Skin Mitt




Brought it in and masked off the rubber trim


Then took paint measurements

2nd stage polish before

And a shot of us polishing




Cleaning out the residue from the edge of the stone guard with a tooth pick


Then alcohol wipe down




Applying Opti Gloss Coat




And finally the finished pics. I wish so badly that the sun was out to show just how glossy the paint was.




This was the best glossy pic I could take and it didn't even come close




Nonetheless I hope you guys enjoyed seeing the process on a rare colored RS.

Thanks!

I certainly did. Thank you.

 

This client was referred to us by Autolinks as there were a few small imperfections on the hood the customer wanted addressed before applying the PPF.
To be honest I forget what number this was out of the 333 GT Spyders in the world but it was very beautiful none the less. The swirls on this were very light so no before and afters but I hope you still enjoy going through the pics.

This 507 was booked in months in advance without me getting a chance to see the condition. In the end it needed a 2 stage polish with special attention on certain areas with the claybar. It was protected with Opti Coat Pro and we were happy with the results. I love the wheels too by the way, my favorite choice out of all the options for the C63.

A long time customer recently purchased this new 4 GTS from Pfaff and wanted to get the paint protected asap. Well after 1000km in it finally came.

I must say this is one of the most beautifulest 991s we have done this year and we had a great time working on it and admiring all the little details put together on this 4 GTS.

Paint wasn't in bad shape so just a quick 1 stage polish and then protected with Opti Coat Pro.

Enjoy!
