Met this customer through Facebook and admired his photography for quite sometime. Was quite surprised to receive a message from him interested in our work. Long story short, into the shop in came.
Very impressed with the initial condition of the paint and found it only needed a 1 stage polish which was protected afterwards with Opti Coat Pro.

This new M4 came to us in pretty good condition straight from the dealer. Other then a few light swirls that the camera couldn't pick up the paint was in great shape. Not much else to say other then enjoy the pics!

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!

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 ... 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
After cleaning the wheels, 2 Bucket Method wash, and clay bar, we masked the rubber trim
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
These are the results of the 1st stage of polishing
Before
After(did I mention that solid black is a pain in the a**?!)
Headlights & Taillights were polished as well
Before
After
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
Tape removed and little details such as removing polish with a tooth pick from the edge of the stone guard was performed
And finally the star of the show, Opti Coat Pro
A shot in the sun to show no more swirls in the paint
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
I love reflection pics
The lens flare pointing at the car is pretty cool
And the last pic to finish the walk around
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.

I had talked to this client for quite sometime now regarding his other vehicles like an e39 M5(which was sold) and an e30 M3. We had never gotten a chance to book a solid date but stayed in contact over the years. He had recently purchased this new Sprint Blue RS4 and was planning to drive it year round and wanted to protect it with Opti Coat Pro. The car was brought in for a consultation and we finally booked a date!

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.
Not really much else to say, got the call Saturday evening and it was in the shop by Wednesday
Arrival
Cleaning the wheels
Masking off the rubber and plastic trim
The whole front end is carbon fibre so we had to bring out our ultrasound paint gauge to measure the paint
Underneath the hood
Ultrasound measurements
Magnetic measurements
And on to polishing the paint.
There was already close to 5000km on the odometer so the paint had some light swirls to polish out before applying Opti Coat Pro.

Overcast day so the gloss was not photographing the best it could be, but still happy with the finished pics!
And the icing on the cake.... an autograph under the hood from Wolfgang Porsche!!!
Hope you enjoyed the pics as much as we enjoyed working on the car!

This is the 2nd time I have ever seen an unmodified MKIV Supra. Client had told me he had bought a Porter Cable to polish it himself and had an old syringe of discontinued Opti Coat 2.0 to coat it afterwards but with his wife expecting their first child he had no time for the project anymore.
We were happy to help and enjoyed every bit of 2 stage polishing this JDM classic!
Arrival

After all the prep work we began the polishing

After
After all the polishing was completed we wiped down the paint with ipa to clean off the polishing oils
Lol a really old syringe of Opti Coat 2.0 that belonged to the customer
And finally the finished results of our work starting off with a sun shot
The paint didn't turn out perfect but all in all I would say an 8.5 out of 10 minus some deeper scratches.
Hope you enjoyed the pics on this Japanese classic!

First detail of 2017 with the Focus RS. Not a full write up just a mini write up with 10 pics.
Long time customer who has been bringing us his 993 C4S for the past couple years for annual details and decided to buy this for himself for Christmas hahaha.
Anyways on to the pics.
Arrival
Only 997km on the odometer
Cleaning the rims
After a 2 Bucket Car Wash we clayed the paint with the mild Nano Skin Mitt
Paint wasn't in bad condition at all so just a 1 stage polish. Thankfully the dealer barely touched it and I instructed the customer to let us be the first to wash it.
Here is a pic of the thousand dollar option metallic flake in Nitrous Blue. I found the polish had the flake popping even more.
Dressed tires and cleaned windows and finally applied Opti Gloss Coat to protect the paint for the next 2 years.
And finally the finished pics, sadly on a overcast day in Toronto, but thankful for no snow, yet lol.
Hope you enjoyed the pics!

looking good Wes. That RS looks sick.
I can relate to that supra guy. I have a bottle of opticoat sitting around too. I'm going to try my hand at a proper detail this summer. I'm practicing on the odyssey first though

Hey Guys,
Long time no post!
Long time client who we have been taking care of for over 7 years now brought in his brand new 991 Carrera GTS. The paint did need a 2 stage polish as there were some deeper swirls on the lower panels that needed to be buffed out before we protected the paint with Opti Gloss Coat. As well as a new service we are offering which was to protect the full front end with Xpel Paint Protection Film.
Anyways on to the pictures.
A little backwards this time with the write up, as the finished picture is the first pic lol
Headlights removed so that we could wrap the film in the edges for a seemless look as well as the film being layed down on the hood.
Full fenders being layed down
Film tucked in the edges and you can see the line here underneath the hood
Then finally everything protected with Opti Gloss Coat
As usual I hope you enjoyed the pics!

We had protected this Evora S with Opti Coat Pro about 2 years back and now the owner was bringing it in for our Basic In & Out package to prep it for storage as he had no time to do it himself. Here are a few pics from the job.
Arrival
Claybarring with a Nano Skin Mitt
Giving the paint a light polish/wax which is ceramic based and repairs and adds on to the exsisting coating
After the light buffing the metallic flake was popping in the paint
Interior getting vacuumed
Interior wipe down
Detail brush getting in all the cracks and crevices
And the finished product

Spoke to this client on Facebook a few months back and he let me know he was expecting this ISF sometime later in the year and that he wanted to give it a "fresh" start. We weren't sure which service to go with and decided to wait until the ISF arrived. Fast forward to last week and in it came. Originally we agreed on a 2 stage polish + Opti Gloss Coat but as we started to polish the paint we encountered an issue and found out that a product called RestoreFX had been applied hindering us from achieving proper paint correction. I contacted the owner and let him know the revised quote to remove the RestoreFX and then to perform the 2 stage polish and in the end we decided to go with our Basic In & Out service as the client figured out what to do about the situation.
I haven't seen a Lexus ISF in awhile and besides the power and styling, I love the fact that they are not so commonly seen around town!
Hope you guys enjoy the pics of this Basic In & Out detail!
Arrival
Claybarring the paint
Lite polish and wax on the paint
Vacuuming the interior
Even the pedals get cleaned
Using our brush to get in the cracks and crevices
Wiping down the interior
Artsy fartsy shot of wiping down the interior but the steering wheel does get attention as well when cleaning
And finally the finished shots which was sadly taken on a rainy day
My favourite part on the exterior are the front fenders
Hope you liked the pics! After spending some time with one I definitely want to see one of these in my future!
