Elevated Car Care | Toronto Auto Detailing | BMW M3 Sedan | Opti Coat Pro

Hello Everyone,

I was contacted by a client to see if I could solve his problem for car maintenance, he was looking for a low maintenance solution for his "new to him" M3 Sedan. I recommended the installation of Opti Coat Professional for his Jerez Black M3, after reading up on it he also decided it was the best route for him.

Here are the before pictures:





I'd have to do something about these swirls.





At least I would have nice eye candy to look at while I was detailing



During:

I started by washing the wheels, wheel wells and rims





Good for now, I'd later take the rims of the vehicle to give them a more thorough cleaning and full surface opti coat protection.



Washing



Claying, a normal amount of contaminants



I then found out that Meg's MF pad with D300 and Green B&S pad with HD Polish was my best bet







I then worked my way around the car



In this picture I've polished up to the rear door and driver's door and on still remains



A close up of the rocker panel



Here is half the front fender done.



Here I polished the swirls away from the headlights





Here we can see some sanding marks





After some rotary with car pro wool, they were severely diminished or gone.





Before:



After:



The whole fender is done but the passenger's side door is not





50:50 (half and half) shot of trunk lid



Before: Tail lights



After: Tail lights



50:50 of bumper



Here I am finishing rims and preping for opti coat



All clean





This is just a random shot of the testing sections to find out where I would get the best gloss.

HD Polish won.



Exhausts were also polished up



....and we're all done









sorry I was using a new camera so the sun pictures turned out kind of weird

















Thank so much for reading, please tell me how I did.

This is really nice. I have been thinking about getting this done. How much would a service like this cost?

For the NSX lovers in our community. I've detailed this thing as well, absolute beast. It's widebody and supercharged. It's also got my logo on the rear glass.
Not my pictures BTW but I am the one detailing it.









Here's a more pro picture, where the actual red comes out. (importfest)



I also detailed that bagged Mazda 3 behind it.

He just sold this S2000 powered AE86.



Future projects for this owner are:

Veilside RX7 (Hopefully, he has the RX7 just hasn't decided what to do with it)
'65 Mustang Fastback
2011 BMW 7.50Li
