Scion FR-S Detailed by Reflections Detailing: Opti-Coat
 

First of all, I want to tell everyone that if you are taking delivery from Cambridge Scion... Make sure you tell them, yell at them, and put it in paperwork to not touch the car. Dealer claims to have not done any prep, but there was insane swirls for a brand new car. Car was in poor shape for being a day old, it was sad to see this.

The perfection is in the reflection!

Thanks for looking! And remember not to let the dealer touch your car on delivery.

Nice job Bud! The dealer definitely gave it a "light buffing" to say the very least, lol.

Good work Luke

Tell me about it... You do great work as well!

Thanks Hamza it means a lot.

Wow. That looks mint.

you have VERY nice cars as listed under your username...:party0030:

Thanks. I was thinking of getting a fr-s.

Nice job!

Whats the difference in function between IronX and Claying your car?

Technically the same function, but IronX works a lot more effectively than clay on iron embedded in paint. To get all the iron removed you would need a more aggressive clay bar, but that also causes a lot of clay marring left to be polished out.

Great job! How many hours did the whole detail take?

thats some good stuff there!

Just over 6h.

Thank you sir!

where can i get ironx in canada?

Wisdom Detail, eShine, AutoObsessed. Can't go wrong with any of those three.
