Auto Salon Works: 2013 Satin White Pearl BRZ's Opti Coated - 4 of them

Yes, last week I had 3 SWP BRZ's and 1 this week come in for opti coat. It was crazy weird. :happy0180:
3 of them were Limited and the last one was the Premium. Just posting some of the many shots that I took of each car.
A lot of these cars all have similar scratches/ marrs/ scuffs in the same areas and in same direction.
The rest of the pictures and write-ups are on my blogspot

#1 Limited











#2 Limited











#3 Limited














Premium

I use a DA and Megs D300 to remove all of the swirls. Those are the easiest to remove.

Not worried you'll take too much surrounding clear or off the edges? I'm curious how to target a specific area with a pad thats like 5 inches in size or near an edge that the side of the pad would be rubbing without product?

just an aspiring home detailer looking to learn!

No, I'm not worried. It takes patience, knowledge, and the right skills.
You can learn it as well. Just take your time learning how to do it.

Yes, they are bleeding for a cleaning. But that's not bloody. This is!
