This was totally a coincidence that two e39 M5s came in for a 2 stage polish + Opti Coat Pro. They had both booked on the same day so I ended up doing the write up on both cars at the same time which is a first and was quite interesting to do. I was very happy with the out come on both cars as were the owners so enjoy seeing the process and final pics!

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!

This was a US 996 Turbo with very low mileage, to be honest I forget but I'm pretty sure it was around 30000km. Paint wasn't that bad but some of the swirls were a little deeper so a 2 stage polish was needed to correct the paint. As usual with most cars we do nowadays it was protected afterwards with Opti Coat Pro.
Hope you like the pics!

I love this e46 M3! Laguna Seca Blue on Laguna Seca Blue seats and navi! What more could you ask for.
The shine on this M3 was still great but the swirls in the sun was annoying the client and he wanted to get as much of the swirls out as possible. We ended up doing a 2 stage polish which brought the paint condition to about a 9 out of 10 minus the deeper scratches. Hope you enjoy the pics as much as we enjoyed polishing this one!

Very good client contacted me regarding a 2 stage polish + Opti Coat Pro on his recently purchased Lp640.
We had tried to schedule an appointment prior to this one but due to rainy weather we had to reschedule and he mentioned that maybe he was considering postponing the detail until the springtime, which is understandable. Luckily :D... he had a change of heart and we were able to schedule a date where the weather worked in our favour! So in to the shop it came! As usual, the arrival pic Attachment 153064 After cleaning the wheels, 2 Bucket Method wash, and clay bar, we masked the rubber trim Attachment 153066 Next up was to take measurements of the paint with our special paint depth gauge which measures via ultrasound due to a few panels not being made of steel or aluminium. This gauge is not cheap at all and costed us $3000 Attachment 153068 These are the results of the 1st stage of polishing Before Attachment 153070 After(did I mention that solid black is a pain in the a**?!) Attachment 153072 Headlights & Taillights were polished as well Before Attachment 153074 After Attachment 153075 2nd stage of polishing was completed and then an alcohol wipe down to remove the polishing oils. Finally Opti Coat Primer applied to prepare for the Opti Coat Pro application Attachment 153077 Tape removed and little details such as removing polish with a tooth pick from the edge of the stone guard was performed Attachment 153079 And finally the star of the show, Opti Coat Pro Attachment 153081 A shot in the sun to show no more swirls in the paint Attachment 153083 All in all minus some deeper scratches which I suspect may have been from people leaning on the car for pics and the fact that it is solid black, I would say we got the paint condition to about an 8.5/9 out of 10. Here are the results Attachment 153085 I love reflection pics Attachment 153086 Attachment 153087 The lens flare pointing at the car is pretty cool Attachment 153088 And the last pic to finish the walk around Attachment 153089 Hope you enjoyed the pics!!! |

We had spoken to this client while we were polishing the 991 GT3 in Vancouver. He had a few vehicles he was taking delivery of and wanted to protect them all with Opti Coat Pro.
This was the Golf R that literally came directly from the dealership. It had very light swirling and a 1 stage polish was all that was needed to clean it up.

We had spoken to this client a few weeks prior to this detail and he had actually referred a Bentley to us earlier in the spring.
The car was fairly new and well taken care of so the paint was not in bad shape at all. A 1 stage polish was all that was needed to clean up the light swirls which then was protected with Opti Coat Pro afterwards.

We had been looking forward to this Lava Orange 991 GT3RS for quite sometime. We maintain this clients other RS's as well so we knew about this one for almost a year now.

There was already close to 5000km on the odometer so the paint had some light swirls to polish out before applying Opti Coat Pro. Before Attachment 152785 After Attachment 152786 Before Attachment 152787 After Attachment 152788 The taillights were polished as well Before Attachment 152789 After Attachment 152790 After the 2nd stage of polishing was completed we applied Opti Coat Primer via machine to the paint Attachment 152791 Attachment 152792 We unmasked the trim and took care of some finishing touches like cleaning up the polishing dust and cleaning polish from the edge of the stone guard with a tooth pick Attachment 152793 And finally applied Opti Coat Pro Attachment 152794 Overcast day so the gloss was not photographing the best it could be, but still happy with the finished pics! Attachment 152795 Attachment 152796 Attachment 152797 Attachment 152798 And the icing on the cake.... an autograph under the hood from Wolfgang Porsche!!! Attachment 152799 Hope you enjoyed the pics as much as we enjoyed working on the car! Thanks! |

Happy New Year!
We were contacted by this client to detail this rare fire orange M3,1 of 2 I believe in Toronto, for storage. When it came in to the shop and upon inspection we came to the conclusion that it definitely needed a 2 stage polish as the paint was in rough condition. Anyways onto the polishing.
