Car Detailer in GTA [Toronto/Markham/Unionville]
#21
This GT-R came in for a promotion we were having in January. I spoke briefly to the client about a few areas of concern over the phone and then we both agreed that weather permitting it would come in for a 2 stage polish + Opti Gloss Coat. Luckily everything worked out and surprisingly the client didn't live to far away from the shop.

Had a chance to asses this S5 last year but due to scheduling on both our ends things didn't pan out. But this year the client wanted to get it done before our busy season hit so in it came for March and received our 2 stage polish with Opti Gloss Coat as protection.
Arrival
Cleaning the wheels while we had a chance to chat with the customer while he waited for his ride
Claybarring the paint
Masking off the rubber trim
Measuring the paint and found no panels that were repainted
The paint was in pretty rough shape so we had to hit it with a compound for the 1st stage
before
after (as you can see the compound removed the swirls but left a haze behind due to it's aggressiveness)
After the 1st stage we refined the paint with a lighter cutting polish on the 2nd stage to remove the haze as well as leave a deep gloss
before
after
After all the polishing was completed we began the finishing prep
Removing the masking tape
And cleaning polish that had gotten in the parking sensors with a tooth pick
Then protected the new finish with Opti Gloss Coat which lasts for 2 years
And here are the final shots. Unfortunately no sun was out but hopefully you can still see the gloss achieved.
And the last pic
Hope you enjoyed the pics and looking forward to seeing some of you this driving season!

This beautiful Sepang Blue V10 R8 came in early spring but we have been so busy that I haven't had time to post it until now.
Not really much of a back story, got a call inquiring about Opti Coat Pro, client inquired with a few Audi Club members who vouched for our work, then in it came.

One of the first M2's delivered in the GTA we had done this back in the early spring.
Client informed us that he was expecting delivery and was interested in protecting it right away with Opti Coat Pro. We advised that the dealer not wash the car but remove the plastic to insure no damage underneath. Day of delivery in it came straight from the dealer. Paint wasn't bad at all just some very light swirls that we polished out with a 1 stage polish.

Long time client purchased this 997.2 GT3RS earlier this year and wanted to get it up to standard. I had gone with him to the purchase just to inspect it as well as measure the paint to make sure no panels had been repainted and everything turned out good. A few months later and a couple weeks ago in it came for a full interior, 2 stage polish, engine shampoo, and 2 coats of Opti Coat Pro.
Arrival
Cleaning the wheels
Claybarring the paint
Measuring the paint to look out for any low spots that we shouldn't get to aggressive on
Paint wasn't to rough but it still needed a 2 stage polish to get it to our standard
Before
After
50/50 shot on the carbon wing
Before
After
Taillights were polished as well
Before
After
After the 2nd stage of polishing we unmasked the tape
Cleaned the edges of the stone guard with a tooth pick
After all the finishing prep we finally applied Opti Coat Pro
And finally the finished pics
Always a pleasure to detail client's cars who we have established a good relationship with. Looking forward to more additions to the collection wither it be the family hauler or the weekend car.
Hope you enjoyed the pics!

Long time client who previously brought us his w219 CLS 500, purchased this new w218 CLS 63 AMG and brought it in again for a 1 stage polish + Opti Gloss Coat.
Not much to mention about the car itself, the paint wasn't to bad and the 1 stage was enough to bring it up to a 8.5/9 out of 10.
On to the pics.

Good friend bought a brand new M4 GTS and we were expecting it since Feb. In it finally came last week for 3 layers of Opti Coat Pro+ but, the paint had a little bit of issues and required a 2 stage polish especially for the lower parts of the doors. Unfortunately due to the colour we couldn't get good before and afters of the results but none the less couldn't have it in the shop and not take pictures!
Anyways on to the write up.
Arrival
Cleaning the wheels and I love the angled wheel woolies for getting that lip behind the face
Two Bucket wash always
After claybarring and drying we took some quick measurements of the paint
As stated earlier we couldn't get good before and afters of the defects so after the polishing Opti Coat Primer was applied via machine
Applied to the carbon wing
3 coats of Opti Coat Pro+ was applied
And it was applied to the paint
To the headlights
Tail lights
Face of the wheels
Door jambs
And finally the exhaust
Artsy fartsy shot of the application of Opti Coat Pro+
And the finished pics
Glossy
Hope you enjoyed the pics as much as I enjoyed spending time with this car!

Long time client brought in his e30 M3 Evo Sport. It had been imported earlier this year but sat in storage for a few months before it made it's way over to us, hence it looking quite dusty in the first pic.
Once brought over client said "give it whatever it needs". After the initial wash we came to the realization that it had already been paint corrected and coated most likely by the previous owner. So we decided to just give it a Basic In & Out detail.
Hope you enjoy the pics on this rare classic!
Arrival
Cleaning the wheels
Cleaning inside the gas cap as well
2 Bucket Method car wash only
Claybarring the paint, and as you can see the water beading is already very strong
Drying off with a plush microfiber towel
Measuring the paint for the clients records
Machine waxing with a ceramic combatible wax
Tire dressing
Cleaning the windows
And the finished product
I LOVE the dtm spoiler
And some quick shots of the interior
Dog leg shifter
And just to make it official
