It was a huge pleasure to work on this classic R33 Skyline and in Midnight Purple too! We ended up performing a 2 stage polish on the paint and protecting it afterwards with Opti Gloss Coat. Ran into a small complication with the paint being fairly thin in some areas and couldn't get as aggressive as we would like to but everything turned out great regardless.

Hope you enjoy the pics!



Arrival




Cleaning the wheels


2 Bucket car wash


Claybarring the paint with the Nanoskin mitt


Masking off the rubber trim


And measuring the paint. This is one of the lower areas earlier mentioned




Before


After


50/50 shot




After the polishing was completed we cleaned out the left over polish out of the tighter areas with our trusty tooth pick




And finally Opti Gloss Coat is applied




Now for the finished pics








I tried to get a sun shot to show the flake but it had already set to far. This is the best I could do.




Hope you enjoyed the pics on this R33 Godzilla!

This GT-R came in for a promotion we were having in January. I spoke briefly to the client about a few areas of concern over the phone and then we both agreed that weather permitting it would come in for a 2 stage polish + Opti Gloss Coat. Luckily everything worked out and surprisingly the client didn't live to far away from the shop.

This is the 2nd time I have ever seen an unmodified MKIV Supra. Client had told me he had bought a Porter Cable to polish it himself and had an old syringe of discontinued Opti Coat 2.0 to coat it afterwards but with his wife expecting their first child he had no time for the project anymore.

We were happy to help and enjoyed every bit of 2 stage polishing this JDM classic!



Arrival




Cleaning the wheels




After all the prep work we began the polishing

Before


After




After all the polishing was completed we wiped down the paint with ipa to clean off the polishing oils




Lol a really old syringe of Opti Coat 2.0 that belonged to the customer




And finally the finished results of our work starting off with a sun shot




The paint didn't turn out perfect but all in all I would say an 8.5 out of 10 minus some deeper scratches.






Hope you enjoyed the pics on this Japanese classic!

Hey FT86Clubbers,

Long time no post.

Just wanted to share a Civic Type R we recently did a 1 stage polish on and protected with Opti Gloss Coat.





Thanks!
Wes

Spoke to this client on Facebook a few months back and he let me know he was expecting this ISF sometime later in the year and that he wanted to give it a "fresh" start. We weren't sure which service to go with and decided to wait until the ISF arrived. Fast forward to last week and in it came. Originally we agreed on a 2 stage polish + Opti Gloss Coat but as we started to polish the paint we encountered an issue and found out that a product called RestoreFX had been applied hindering us from achieving proper paint correction. I contacted the owner and let him know the revised quote to remove the RestoreFX and then to perform the 2 stage polish and in the end we decided to go with our Basic In & Out service as the client figured out what to do about the situation.

I haven't seen a Lexus ISF in awhile and besides the power and styling, I love the fact that they are not so commonly seen around town!

Hope you guys enjoy the pics of this Basic In & Out detail!



Arrival




Claybarring the paint


Lite polish and wax on the paint




Vacuuming the interior




Even the pedals get cleaned


Using our brush to get in the cracks and crevices


Wiping down the interior


Artsy fartsy shot of wiping down the interior but the steering wheel does get attention as well when cleaning




And finally the finished shots which was sadly taken on a rainy day


My favourite part on the exterior are the front fenders




Hope you liked the pics! After spending some time with one I definitely want to see one of these in my future!

Thanks,
Wes
