First FR-S In The US To Be Opti-Coated
This car belongs to a member of the forum ft86. The car received a new car prep and opti coat treatment, and I can't wait for him to wash his car. He's going to be amazed at what it does :lol:
The car was in good shape overall since he picked it up two days ago (I think?) and specifically told the dealer NOT to wash or detail the car. However, some swirls were still present, but nothing too bad overall.
The befores:

Thanks Steven!
lol
Scholl Concepts is not available in the US.... Try Prima Swirl with Lake Country Orange flat pads, I used to use that combo on Acura paint with success as one step.

If you're going Prima Swirl on yellow, I would follow that up with Menzerna PO85RD on either white or black.
Then do Blackfire by machine (Make sure you tape up after wash lol)
Wait at least 12 hours before you apply the wax.

I haven't come across a yellow one yet. My new favorite color is Raven though, that black looks hot when it's polished correctly. (That means I did one today and pics coming soon lol)

Yellow isn't an official color. Either this one was repainted or wrapped.
