over all pic



this car was opticoated couple months ago, the owner has been very careful not to send it any where or any how to be wash or polish

Action



a quick swift of cooling down the ride before washing is always good habit to prevent premature Clear coat failure.....just as mum always says cool down, wipe off your sweat before bath



a quick ANRW wash with 6 MF



POPPING up the hood to let it cool off further before surgery



upon opening the hood , we saw some issue need to be rectify
