Brand New BMW 328i M Sport - receives a new car prep with Opti Coat installation.
This beautiful brand new estoril blue BMW 328i M Sport receives a new car prep with Opti Coat installation. The car was received relatively clean, however we found hair line scratches in clusters, some light swirls and marring from washes, and the b pillars were the normal lightly scratched and scuffed up piano black we have come accustomed to on cars with these type of trim pieces. The final results were great and I believe the customer was quite happy with the work performed. 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 steamed - Wheel wells were cleaned up - Washed with Sonax High Gloss Shampoo - Door jambs were cleaned up - Clayed/NanoSkin Autoscrub - Dried - Tires dressed - Masking - Paint Measurement - Compound - Menzerna FG400 - Final Polish - Sonax Perfect Finish 4/6 - IPA Final Wipe down prior to Opti Coat - Last step - Opti Coat Pro - Inspection with Fenix, Brinkmann, and natural sunlight - Wheel wells were cleaned and protected - Rubber and Plastics Treated - Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed - Exhaust tips cleaned - Windows were auto scrubed, cleaned, and sealed - Headlight and Fogs were cleaned up and protected clear film - Xpel Ultimate Products used: Optimum No Rinse Sonax High Gloss Shampoo Stoner's Tarminator Auto Finesse Oblitarate Sonax Multi Star Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner Uber Yellow Poly Clay Bar NanoSkin Autoscrub Fine Grade Wash Mitt Menzerna FG400 Sonax Perfect Finish Opti Coat Adam's Super VRT Auto Finesse Crystal Glass Cleaner Auto Finesse Mercury Metal Polish Sonax Plastic Trim Restorer Tools used Uber Wool Wash Mitt Uber Quick Detail MF Towels Uber All Purpose MF Towels Rupes LHR75E Rupes BigFoot LHR 21ES Random Orbital Polisher Rupes BigFoot LHR 15ES Random Orbital Polisher Uber Orange Foam Pad Uber Green Foam Pad Defelsko Paint Meter Fenix TK35 Kranzle Pressure Washer Uber Foam Canon 2 Grit Guard Buckets with Caddies Adam's Firehose Nozzle Metro Air Force Blaster Before shots - didn't look too bad at drop off.

Looks great, wondering if I can ask for your opinion on a product? Well I am going to anyways.
 Thinking of taking my car to a place that uses 9H glass coatings. Like seen here http://www.detailsontheridge.com/#!ceramic-pro/c1snz Worth the price? Does a well enough job protecting from swirls? My car is Black Sapphire Metallic and a pain to keep swirl free. Thanks for your time. |

It's a guy here at work that does this on the side, seems to be giving me a fair price but I had never heard of the product. Thought I'd ask someone in the know, which from your posts, seems to be you.  |
