Scion FR-S Detailed by Reflections Detailing: Opti-Coat - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Reflections · 07-02-2012, 07:54 PM

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.

Wash:
CG CWC + MGS Green Stuff
Zymol Wash Sponge
Dread lock MF Mitt

Wheels:
Meguiars APC 4:1
Brown Royal 2:1
Raceglaze Wheel Brush + Lug Nut Brush
EZ Wheel Brush
Tire Brush
PERL 1:1
CG Barebones

Decontamination:
IronX+IronX Gel
Ricardo Yellow Claybar
ONR Clay Lube

Polishing:
Menzerna Power Finish on White
OPT Metal Polish on tips

Protection:
Opti-Coat 2.0 on all wheels, headlights, tail lights, badges, trim, glass
1Z Gummi on all seals

Vehicle overall clean.

Thought it looked great actually.

Claimed to be unwashed... Now thats trouble.

The damage.

Visible wash swirls.

Trunk was the worst!

A wash to kill all beading.

Cleaning up all areas.

After washing.

Client pulling in the garage.

IronX Sprayed on... Super smelly in the garage.

Tons of iron!

Common on these cars.

Yes. Even here.

A rinse to remove the residue.

Time to clay, brand new Ricardo Yellow.

Picked up extremely little.

Taped up and ready for some polishing action.

Hopefully you can see the extent of that dealer wash.

The needed combo.

Same area, after.

Panel cleaned up well.

Yeah... the car was not washed. BS.

Much loving was done.

Tire dressing soaking in.

Added a ton of gloss from polishing.

Time to Opti-Coat this baby.

Shining bright!

Looking much better than before.

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.

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.
