ducatichick's WRB BRZ

The paint was in pretty good shape, but there were some RIDS around the car.

Process:

Dawn wash
Degreaser on tires/wheel wells
Nano towel to decontaminate
HD POLISH with green HD pad
OPTI COAT
3D tire shine

Everything was coated on the outside.

It rained most of the day so I didn't bother with befores, obviously the car looked very good before I started.

This is after HD POLISH

Thanks Thomas, my BRZ looks great!

I'll be interested to see how the OptiCoat compares to RainX on the glass.

I'm especially thankful that I will never have to wax this car!!!

Split this into it's own topic since it was still in my shop topic and the detail didn't take place there, hehe. Car looks beautiful!

Nope...just getting caught up with stuff post-holidays-back-to-work (sigh)

Car still looks great despite:
- living on a dirt road
- getting bombed by seagulls
- crummy weather

Looking forward to never waxing this baby!
