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

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.

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

great job!

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

Nice NSX in the garage!

having that NSX in many of your shots is very distracting!

I'll PM you the rates.

Hey Nads, how's it going?

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

Video of NSX is up, if you want you paint glossy like that then contact me. I know a guy.
