Sargy's TRD Transformation.
Current pic of car will change with changes
![]() ![]() 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 Exterior - Wheels were prepped with Sonax Wheel Cleaner and cleaned up with various brushes - Tires were spritzed down with Adam’s All Purpose Cleaner and washed down - Wheel wells were cleaned up - Washed with 1Z einszett W99 - Aquartz Iron Cut - Wash down and rinsed - Door jambs were cleaned up - Nano Scrub AutoScrub - Dried - Tires dressed - Masking - Paint Measurement - Sonax 5/5 Fine Abrasive Paste - Microfiber DA Cut Pad - Griots Orbital - Opti Coat - Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight - Wheel wells were cleaned and dressed - Rubber and Plastics Treated - Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed - Exhaust tips cleaned - Windows were autoscrubed, cleaned, and sealed Products used Links to products used - 1Z einszett W99 Aquartz Iron Cut Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner NanoSkin AutoScrub System Sonax Compound 5/5 - Coming Soon Opti Coat Adam's Super VRT Optimum Metal Polish Tools used Uber Wool Wash Mitt Uber No Name MF Towels Griot's 6 inch Random Orbital Polisher Uber Buffing Pads Defelsko Paint Meter Fenix TK35 Brinkmann Kranzle Pressure Washer Cam Spray Foam Canon 2 Grit Guard Buckets with Caddies Uber Firehose Nozzle Metro Air Force Blaster Prep - Removal of factory tape, car Wash/Decon/Wheel and Tire ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After removal of tape ![]() Close up of left over adhesive from the tape ![]() Wash ![]() ![]() Aquartz Iron Cut ![]() ![]() Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner in action with the Wheel Woolies ![]() ![]() Debadge per customer request ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Various clear film shots ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Afters ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And so I start off this happy Journey with this... ![]() More to come :happy0180:

Wow, your car looks incredible after that detailing! It's so worth the money to get that done initially and then just keep it clean afterward!
