Hello Everyone!
Over the course of the summer and fall I will be sharing my build on the JDM goodies I will be purchasing!

So far my need to be as clean as possible took over. Detailers Domain for example:

Detailer's Domain: Scion FRS - New Car Prep and Opti Coat/Clear Film Installation
Subject: Scion FRS
Requirements - New Car Prep - Opticoat - Clear Film Installation

I have to say these guys (FRS/BRZ owners) get it. They are all doing what's right for their new cars at an early stage in its life. New Car Prep the "RIGHT" way/Opti Coat/ and many now are opting for clear film. This is a great way to protect your investment.

Take a look at how I was given the this new one, wrapped from the factory plus 3m masking tape on areas not covered. Customer drove up from Virginia!!!

Subject - Scion FRS
Requirements - Full Exterior Paint Correction/Opti Coat/ Clear Film installation. (Full Hood, Full Fenders, Mirrors, Lights, Door Cups)

For a new car this one was in pretty bad shape. The typical sticky paint from the imports made this one tedious to work on
