[Jsmooth]

<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Road Trip! This was my first go around with the Finest and was for a mobile client that lived almost 2 hours south of me. The night before my self and little brother were finishing some cars at the shop and did not hit the road till almost 2am! Living up to our name after 4 hours of sleep we got to it! The goal was to leave no stone unturned so to speak.`
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Intial inspections it did not look bad, but it had some issues for sure! Having only 275 miles on it I was surprised how dirty it was.
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>I started with Iron-x on all the paint and scrubbing all the old dressing off the tires.`
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>After Iron X had been there long enough to do its thing Ryan rinsed it off while I was going around scrubbing dressing off trim.
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>An Onr wash and speedy prep mitt made sure the paint was perfectly clean for polishing.
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>You can see the ONR beading up on the paint from the factory applied wax/glaze. Seeing this I followed up my decon with an APC wash so I could see the true condition of the paint.
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Tires looking "Dialed" and ready to be properly dressed!
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>This was a wheels off detail so I began doing this while Ryan was doing test spots to see what route we were going with the paint.
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Safety socket to ensure I didn`t scratch a rim or strip paint removing the lugs.
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Major OCD! A key makes a great rock from tread remover!
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>After cleaning the wheel I went to work on the calipers and wheel wells.
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>The fabric wheel well liner was steamed and the coated with Opti Fabric Pro.
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Some nasty defects above the wheel well that were later removed during the correction steps.
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>And done! Now to coat the wheel.
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Inside and out wheels were polish with Opti Coat Primer and coated with Opti Coat Pro
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>BLING!`
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Lug covers and lug nuts coated as well!
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>This scratch on the hood was bad. This color was hard to capture defects with my iPhone but this caught your finger nail in a few places.
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Ryan got it out after a few passes!
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Ryan was perfecting the paint I kept perfecting everything else. Polished mostly by hand with Primer polish and coat with Opti Coat pro.`
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>This was very tedious and time consuming.`
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Nose cone had issues!
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Nothing Ryan couldn`t handle!
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Plastic liner coated with Opti Coat Pro.`
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>At this point 5 and 1/2 hours later I was done with the wheels, wheel wells, calipers, and suspension.
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>Nailed it!
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>I did a full interior detail and coated all the leather and hard surfaces with Opti Guard Pro. Carpets, mats, and the alcantara headliner were coated with Opti Fabric Pro
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>On to the fun part! After interior was a wrap I started helping with correction.

<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>fast forward and after coating the paint..
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>
<p style="font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica;"><span>BOOM! Tragically it was 1am at this point so no sun shots but it is flawless!

Amazing work!

[Scottwax]

Looks great! No surprise about swirls and marring with a low mileage Tesla, seems pretty common.`
