    American Muscle Corrected and Coated

    Next door neighbor with the owner of an RS5 a detail I did the previous weekend out in Bend Oregon.

    The car was manufactured in January, and sent to a dealer in California. This color is a special order I was told, I guess not very common. Shipped to Bend to the new owner recently. The hood and side view mirrors were painted matte black by a local body shop couple of weeks ago I believe. Paint measured in the 200 micron range all the way down 150s as you went south. I really am impressed with the build and fit of this car. Orange peel was also much less than normal, which helps creating a great finish. The engine performance was boosted with some computer work - I was told over 500 HP/Torque

    This car is a weekend car and most likely never be driven in the rain, so it was pretty clean when I arrived. It received a quick wipe down, followed by Zaino clay bar. Very little contamination was removed. After a quick dry, I spent some time to make sure that the hood and side view mirrors were protected.

    Unfortunately, the paint was full of RIDS

    101 was really dusting so once I was done with all polishing, on day 2, I had to wash the car.

    Once dry, the paint was Opti Coated, glass was polished and coated with Opti Glass pro.

    AFTER SHOTS - just 3 as I had 3 hours of driving ahead of me and it was raining.

    It really is too bad about the rain as your work deserved full sunlight to show it off. That paint, with your polishing, would have exploded in the sunlight. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
