Titan, BMW,Vette, Lexus, Aston, Altima

Been very busy but I thought I would post some of the latest work.



First up is a Titan, customer brought to me after the complex where he lives did some cleaning and some kind of chemical got all over the hood. He washed it several times and with no luck, the apartment is footing the bill. This car was Opti-coated when it was new so I hoping that the damage was only on the surface. Well a true test of Opti-Coat, the damage was mainly in the coating itself and after a polishing it off there were no more signs of the etching!



Wash with Dawn

Clayed with Clay Magic Mild

PFW with 101/105 on damaged areas on FLEX

Optimum MF polishing pad with 106FA on FLEX

ONR wash after correction

Opti-coat over the corrected areas

Next BMW 650I, car in fairly good shape, interior very dry. Top stays down most of the time and the sun and dust have taken there toll. Ended up spending more time in the interior than the outside.

ONR wash, clayed with CM and ONR lube

OPT MF finishing pad and GPS on FLEX

Next, Lexus IS. Car is in fairly good shape, could use a correction but the client didn`t want a full correction on a daily driver that get taken to the Scratch-O-Matics weekly! He opted for a 1 stepper so I thought I would play around with the time I had and some products been playing with. Turned out really well for a minor correction!



ONR wash, clayed with ONR

OPT MF Compounding pad with OPT Hyper Compound and 205 in the vertical panels on a FLEX

Next,`08 Aston Vantage, same client as the Lexus, just came back from the track, so just needed a good clean-up. Car is covered almost 80% in a clear bra so not allot was needed. I corrected this car back almost new condition before the bra was put on so I know any defects on it where going to be on the bra. Just minor light buffing was all that was needed. Opti-Coated before the bra install and also coated the rims too, owner can`t believe that with heavy racing pads the dust just washes off with a hose without even touching them! Also using Wolf`s "The Mask" sprayed on the front end and around the wheel arches, the tire rubber just washes away!(Another great selling point Jesse)

Next Nissan Altima `11, client took the car in for her first oil change and they gave her the first RIDS for free! She told them not to wash but you know what happened! Cars only got 1870 miles on and has been ONR washed since birth. Nissan Black=suckness with super soft paint! I`ve worked on GTR`s that weren`t this hard to correct! After allot of trial and error it ended up finishing down perfect.

All of them look terrific! Love the IS, one of my customers has one in that color, just pops like crazy when its properly polished.

[chrisguga]

That Lexus does look excellent...interior and exterior.



Do you dress the fender liners? I can`t really tell in the pictures although some look like you might not?

Thanks Scott! It does pop when it cleaned up!

Yes Chris, I do dress Wheel wells. I clean all wheel wells, then dress with Hyper Dressing. The Aston I didn`t by customers request. The Lexus I did the fronts but didn`t post those pictures as I didn`t like the final picture quality.

[Underdawg736GTC]

They all look awesome! If that Lexus doesn`t command any attention in that red dress, I don`t know what will! Excellent job Max!

[DCPlus14]

Good stuff!

Cool, I personally think dressing the liners makes a car look more finished. I know some don`t care to do it though.



Your work looks phenomenal.

[maxepr1]

Good stuff!



Thank You, Sir!

I agree! But if the wrong products are used it can be disastrous! Greasy finishes just sling product everywhere!
