    F10 BMW brand new delievered with waterspots damaged - restored and protected with opti coat by Detailiens



    Getting new car always comes with bundle of joy & excitements







    My buddy, contacted me to protect his investment a couple of weeks ago prior collecting his brand new car, and we specifically mentioned not to be wash by road side car wash



    on his way home driving thru some highway under construction and pilling



    splashes of `Wet` boring* spillage (drilling fluids) splattered the under wheel wells and lower side of the car



    drilling fluid systems usually consist components of a kerosene-like

    petroleum base density compound.


    so pls flush off instantly...to avoid hard to removed mud like stains....with Alien clean







    this is not an easy task to remove especially when is left unattended few days but with Alien clean effortlessly







    we always begin by a good good washing

    cleaning the electronic damper control carefully





    more cleaning





    more cleaning required



    anti rust drips



    spray on brush off & rinse away with OPC





    before





    after alienised









    a weeks old wheels





    closer





    closer





    immerse amount of dust accumulated and not easy to clean but..............................



    after a simple bath - with OPC





    before





    after a good bath before opti coat







    rims exterior before





    after





    moving to side steps area...





    removing dirt trapped in between by Opti clean



    center console cleaning make easier with OPTI Clean







    cleaning the fuel filler area







    a newly fitted universal Diesel filler adapter cap for all petrol station (as many comes with difference size of pump nozzle)





    moving in

    to clean the rest with the effortless Optimum Opti clean





    example

    before





    after OOC







    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    after a good good bath - we further prepare the paint surface decontamination - follow by inspection as paint need to be carefully studied and measured prior correction







    this enable a quick assessment of the quality of the paint finish and to verify the clear coat is not endangered or too much of clear coat being removed during paint leveling / over excessively



    we discover some deep water spots etching on the paint





    closer





    The most important thing a person can do is to find out what caused the problem and then try to avoid it into the future because you cannot continue to compound a thin, hard factory finish as you`ll go through the clear and expose the basecoat.

    another water spots etch









    thank God, we had this came along to study how much clear coat to be leveled when removing the extensive water spot damage.



    more at the water trapped at the catchment area of the rear bonnet















    In order to remove this kind of crater etchings water spots we have to abrade till the lowest surfaces /depths of the crater etchings, this will remove paint.



    before





    after polish & paint measure





    after coating





    point this out because I helped a guy once that got crater etchings from a sprinkler that went off at 4:00am every morning where he parks his car at a Condo and after he removed the spots he continued to park there.

    after careful inspection prior opti coat applied
