Subaru BRZ new car prep

[Thomas Dekany]

This car was purchased earlier this month and will be washed only 3 times a year, maybe 4. Naturally the LSP of choice was Opti Coat.



The paint was in pretty good shape, but there were some RIDS around the car.



Process:



Dawn wash

Degreaser on tires/wheel wells

Nano towel to decontaminate

HD POLISH with green HD pad

OPTI COAT

3D tire shine



Everything was coated on the outside.



It rained most of the day so I didn`t bother with befores, obviously the car looked very good before I started.



This is after HD POLISH

[Ben@3D]

Nice job as always Mr. Dekany!

[Thomas Dekany]

Thank you Mr Ben

[Envious Eric]

Nice, Ive got a silver one coming to me in january for a few spots of correction, then polishing, then 22PLE!



Not too much real estate on these things! How is the paint? I havent done one yet

[BigAl3]

nice job thomas! what machine(s) were used? keep up the great work!

[Thomas Dekany]

Thanks both!



Al - I used a gg pc.



Eric - I`v done 3 of this color, a dark blue, one gray, the others I don`t recall, but all are very detailer friendly. You will enjoy working on this paint.

Awesome work and pics Thomas, that car looks incredibly glossy. I agree that these cars are very stress-free to work on, but I have found the red ones to be very sticky. Aside from that, they correct easily and finish without hassle.

[Thomas Dekany]

Thank you very much Mike! Also, thank you for telling us about the red colors. I haven`t seen one in person, only your details. :)

Looks great! Love the look of fresh OC.

[Thomas Dekany]
