Introducing: Modesta! Hammered F10 535i correction/PPF/coating

[speedfreak81]

Here at SpeedFreak Detailing, I am always striving to stay ahead of those around me, to hone my skills to a level that no one can compete with. I also pride myself on using and offering my clients the best products on the market. Some time ago I began talks with the exclusive USA retailer of Modesta, a coating manufacturer based in Japan. Modesta is a two part system consisting of a primer polish/coat, and a top coating. The look of the product is unlike anything I`ve seen. The coating offers a deep wet, reflective gloss that looks absolutely unbelievable. This is the very first coating package I`ve completed, and I wanted to wait until the video was finished to post this detail.`
`
The vehicle showcased is a 2011 f10 535i that has covered almost 50,000 miles. It is a daily commuter that is subjected to all nature`s elements, and had it`s fair share of swirls, scratches, rock chips, and even rotary buffer swirls. A full multi stage correction was in order, as well as touching up the rock chips on the front end. After all corrective work was performed, the full front end was wrapped in paint protection film, to eliminate further defects. Lastly, the entire body including the wheels, and paint protection film were treated to Modesta`s P-01A Primer & BC-04 Nano-Titanium Glass Coating. The exterior glass surfaces were also treated to Optimum`s Opti Glass Pro coating.
`
`
Here is a video a friend put together for me, from footage I shot during the process. BE SURE TO WATCH IN HD!!!

Part of the intricate application process, each panel must be cured with an Infrared cure lamp. (Primer AND coating)
