Been busy!

[Orinda Auto Detail]

So I haven't had that much time to pilfer around on here as much as I would like. But I wanted to share some of the stuff I've been doing so check it out!

I'll start with the electric cars

Clean this us for a car show, nothing crazy just an extensive wash with a clay/BFWD.

This one was a full correction and Opti Coat Pro(pretty excited just got on board with Optima as an installer). First Opti pro application for me and it came out great! Might also notice I'm using a rupes 21. Really like this machine and it corrects like a champ with finishing polish.

I finished Opti coating this car at 1130pm.

Doing some nit picking in the morning. The gloss from OC is very nice(Probably the Black Fire polish used for correction caused most the whiplash).

Another one! Same service on this one!

And some classic cars

Nothing too crazy here just a 1 step. I think it's ready for the drive in now!
Btw I did want to pull my hair out cleaning those wheels

How bout that? 67 911S Long nose. First time i've ever seen one and apparently its worth about 200k. Very rare car.

Delivered back to customers Office. I have a full correction scheduled on this in a couple weeks. I just put a customer clear bra kit on it and washed it.

And some normal cars

2013 Bentley speed! Cleaned her up a bit and put a radar system in it.

SLS for it's weekly wash. BFWD still going very stong over 6 months later!

HAMMERED Black 4Runner

Rupes in action with SRC finishing polish and an MF pad!

Suns playing peek a boo

You know you love that Black Fire goodness right there!

Full correction this one here!

Bling

More Black Fire smacking down some black paint!

Bling! I sound like a cheer leader for BF products, I guess its easy to cheer for the best!

Ouch!

SAVED!

And everything else!

It's kiddie baseball season so we sponsor the OBA. This is the opening day shot!

Rupes does not like constant pressure pads the backing plate destroys them. Using MF pads I seem to be getting the best results.

Thanks For looking

So on to the normal cars... Bentley Speed and SLS... I don't know what world those vehicles are "normal" in but I most certainly would like to join it!!! Congrats on becoming a Opti Coat installer.

Other than it annihilating constant pressure pads, do you feel like the Rupes is increasing your productivity?

 

[Bunky]

Busy indeed. I see you have a lift in your detailing bay...very convenient if it works.

 

[tropicsteve]

I havent done any full corrections with the rupes yet. But for a one step OMG its nothing short of amazing. On the blue Tesla I finished with it and it worked really well. But trying to do my intial cut with it I had some trouble. I think its just a learning curve

Busy indeed. I see you have a lift in your detailing bay...very convenient if it works.

Yeah we use it all the time!

I got a 21 and a 5 inch backing plate. I'm gonna order the little air D/A a 15 and aonther 21. And some pads. I think I need some open cell pads like the rupes ones but a friend told me they shred really easy. Anyone have any suggestions?
