any reason you went with a rotary cut wes? the paint didn't seem too too bad from the pics.

Wes_R

I wasn't getting enough cut.

Just Opti Coated this 507 which was a pretty brand new car. There were some very light swirls that needed to be polished out but with the color being silver my camera couldn't get a good before and after. Regardless I couldn't have a 507 in the shop and not take pics.

Awesome work Wes!

Wes_R

^Thanks!

Happy Mother's Day guys,


We recently polished this rare for the e92, Jet Black M3. The hood had been repainted and was a little more faded then the rest of the car and the owner was hoping that a good polish would even out the shine.

Hey my350zers,

Had a chance to polish this classic e24 M6 last week. It's so funny because I was talking to my landlord about a fantasy M collection which included the e24, and then all of a sudden it shows up the next day lol! I hope you guys/gals enjoy the pics of this beautiful classic.

Beautiful... Great work Wes!

We were contacted earlier this year regarding this CLK Black and 2 stage polishing it. Things were put on hold as the owner decided on wrapping it instead and entering it in Importfest. We were contacted again and but this time for a job to focus more so on the interior and a clay bar wax job.

I couldn't have a Black Series in the shop and not take pics of it!

Hope you enjoy the pics!



Upon arrival




Starting the interior with vacuuming




The uummm, back seats or lack there of lol

I can't wait until these are legal in Canada. I would love to eventually get one!

Thanks!

This client has been a long time customer of ours and has brought previously owned vehicles to us. To be honest we did this job last year but I forgot I had these pics until he brought the car back to us last week for a clean up as he is considering selling it to buy a GTR.

I love the color on this M3 which is Ruby Black. The flake looks like a wine color and under white lighting the car looks almost burgundy. This is a Competition Package so you have the goodies from suspension, to carbon roof, to the sexy wheels. I kind of really like this car if you can't tell....

Anyways on to the pics

Thanks for looking guys! As always I really appreciate the support from the 350z community!

This was a pretty straight forward job. The client had just purchased this GTR and wanted to polish the paint. Nothing to crazy but something to add a nice pop to the paint. 1 stage it was and finished in a day.



Upon arrival




Taking measurements and a panel had been repainted

This new Sti was brought to us for a new car prep and Opti Coat. We had actually Opti Coated the clients previous Evo X last winter so he wanted to get it protected again. We decided on Opti Coat 2.0 and a 1 stage polish to clean up some very minor swirling before application.

I love World Rally Blue as it is a classic Sti color and it was fun to get acquainted with the new lines on this brand new model.

As usual on to the pics.

This new 991 C4S came in to be protected right away by Opti Coat Pro. This client was referred to us by another client whose new Cayman S we prepped and Opti Coated as well. The paint had very light swirling and just an issue on the front bumper that had to be addressed. Other then that everything else was in great shape!



Arrival




Masking off rubber trim so that the polishers wouldn't stain or damage the trim




This was the issue on the front bumper. It seemed as if someone was trying to rub off an adhesive but just ended up making things worse.

Just went through this thread, your attention to detail is insane. I could look at these write ups all day.

Wes_R

^Thanks!!!




This client had been following our work for a long time and when he had finally found his perfect M3 gave us a call to freshen up the paint work. I love Interlagos Blue and the 18inch rims were a perfect combination. Clean but aggressive.

We 2 stage polished the paint and it was looking beautiful. Unfortunately it was raining and I wasn't sure if I should take the pics hence the reason for only five pictures. Luckily I got a small window to take the last pic.

We received a call from a client who had just purchased this RS4 from the States. He had said that the dealership he bought it from had detailed it already but didn't do such a good job. He was looking to have a proper fresh start and had heard about our services. He came in first for an assessment, then booked a date and in it came for a 2 stage polish and then protected with Opti Coat Pro.

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!



Arrival pics








Vacuum the carpets err floor

Dat Scud. Lucky you, hearing that car in person is like christmas.

Wes_R

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.



Arrival
