Not Dean's but completely identical down to the silver carbonfiber trim

Met this customer through Facebook and admired his photography for quite sometime. Was quite surprised to receive a message from him interested in our work. Long story short, into the shop in came.
Very impressed with the initial condition of the paint and found it only needed a 1 stage polish which was protected afterwards with Opti Coat Pro. Arrival http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psuzn6qupu.jpg Rubber and plastic trim all masked up http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pslsx21kjl.jpg Measuring the paint http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psldnm7e3f.jpg Before http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psdjd7uaxm.jpg After http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pschd8lef2.jpg Opti Coat Pro about it be applied http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps3dgvqsmi.jpg Double checking our work with a light that omits the same color as the sun http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pssogwfqia.jpg No swirls http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psboodqieg.jpg And the finished product :) http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pslsxkc8zf.jpg |
This new M4 came to us in pretty good condition straight from the dealer. Other then a few light swirls that the camera couldn't pick up the paint was in great shape. Not much else to say other then enjoy the pics!
As usual the arrival pics http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps6j7vbt1i.jpg Paint measurements http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psnvnibzqc.jpg Masking off the rubber trim http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psytudvpe6.jpg Applied Opti Coat Primer via machine http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps9qyr9mwb.jpg http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psgpjeoxbz.jpg After removing the tape etc we cleaned out some polish residue with our trusty tooth pick http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psc8zvgev6.jpg Opti Coat Pro http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psa3r2lm8s.jpg Double checking our work with a light that emits the same color light as the sun http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psdyvacgum.jpg Perfect http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pstbd7bwur.jpg And finally the fruits of our labour :) http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psqh7mzbqe.jpg |
A long time customer recently purchased this new 4 GTS from Pfaff and wanted to get the paint protected asap. Well after 1000km in it finally came.
I must say this is one of the most beautifulest 991s we have done this year and we had a great time working on it and admiring all the little details put together on this 4 GTS. Paint wasn't in bad shape so just a quick 1 stage polish and then protected with Opti Coat Pro. Enjoy! Arrival pic http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps6ioxquyy.jpg Paint measurement and plastic trim masked off http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pslxaojr46.jpg Before http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psu1syef8p.jpg After http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pswpwqyx2d.jpg Lovely metallic flake shot http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps3favlcto.jpg Opti Coat Pro http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psbbot4rtd.jpg And the finished pics starting with reflections off the hood http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pseh9elhzu.jpg http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pswdjmfklo.jpg http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psq0zzyrvn.jpg http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psl6344wq6.jpg Definitely looking forward to maintaining this one over the years! |
Very good client contacted me regarding a 2 stage polish + Opti Coat Pro on his recently purchased Lp640.
We had tried to schedule an appointment prior to this one but due to rainy weather we had to reschedule and he mentioned that maybe he was considering postponing the detail until the springtime, which is understandable. Luckily :D... he had a change of heart and we were able to schedule a date where the weather worked in our favour! So in to the shop it came! As usual, the arrival pic http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps9cxtc8hz.jpg After cleaning the wheels, 2 Bucket Method wash, and clay bar, we masked the rubber trim http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psjocp8s2z.jpg Next up was to take measurements of the paint with our special paint depth gauge which measures via ultrasound due to a few panels not being made of steel or aluminium. This gauge is not cheap at all and costed us $3000 http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps6n1m4msx.jpg These are the results of the 1st stage of polishing Before http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psgf4a0vgf.jpg After(did I mention that solid black is a pain in the a**?!) http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pskno2u4ii.jpg Headlights & Taillights were polished as well Before http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psmgxl9usr.jpg After http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psoiekyu0c.jpg 2nd stage of polishing was completed and then an alcohol wipe down to remove the polishing oils. Finally Opti Coat Primer applied to prepare for the Opti Coat Pro application http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psomgddtpg.jpg Tape removed and little details such as removing polish with a tooth pick from the edge of the stone guard was performed http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psefradi4c.jpg And finally the star of the show, Opti Coat Pro http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psxfubp9gu.jpg A shot in the sun to show no more swirls in the paint http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pscwm3b44g.jpg All in all minus some deeper scratches which I suspect may have been from people leaning on the car for pics and the fact that it is solid black, I would say we got the paint condition to about an 8.5/9 out of 10. Here are the results http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psoztxzilt.jpg I love reflection pics http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psf6s1civq.jpg http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps3uep7n0v.jpg The lens flare pointing at the car is pretty cool http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps0ga7vzhd.jpg And the last pic to finish the walk around http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pszigc6ppy.jpg Hope you enjoyed the pics!!! |
Double checking our work with a light that omits the same color as the sun
http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pssogwfqia.jpg Wes, what is the make and model of that light, and where can I purchase one? |
I forget which model but it is called the Infratech something. Lol I hope that helps

We had been looking forward to this Lava Orange 991 GT3RS for quite sometime. We maintain this clients other RS's as well so we knew about this one for almost a year now.
Not really much else to say, got the call Saturday evening and it was in the shop by Wednesday :) Arrival http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps8tqwhrrs.jpg Cleaning the wheels http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psckegbpk6.jpg Masking off the rubber and plastic trim http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psf4n4fqqk.jpg The whole front end is carbon fibre so we had to bring out our ultrasound paint gauge to measure the paint Underneath the hood http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps1eedj8y8.jpg Ultrasound measurements http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps1xgsrdsl.jpg Magnetic measurements http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psjzzqgxol.jpg And on to polishing the paint. There was already close to 5000km on the odometer so the paint had some light swirls to polish out before applying Opti Coat Pro.

Thanks! |
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!

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!

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. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...psrygxzo04.jpg http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...pszwicwa5f.jpg Thanks! Wes (647)999-8499 instagram-oriondetailing.co |
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!
