We usually start with a wash but unfortunately, the owner was washing the car when we arrive.

So we took the opportunity to inspect the car as we washed the car together

On the roof, the paint was flawless.
2016-03-20 10.42.13
On the body, the paint again was perfect.
2016-03-20 10.42.05
It had a very unique shine to it when light was shine onto the paint.

Basically, the car was so flawless, that we didn’t had anything to work on. Hence, we just did all essential surface preparations, removing wax and grease, stains were very minimal but still we did some cleaning on that areas, and finally we coated the car. Entire process took less than 3hours, but then again, we have to stress that not all cars are like this, most cars we worked on had severe damages, or even paint damages from the dealership itself.

But anyways, we did brief the customer about the condition and he was happy enough to book us for his other car.
Enjoy the results.

We traveled our way to Penang Island for this sweet sweet ride. We were briefed by the owner that it was a brand new ride, with barely 500KM on the ODO.

Upon arrival, we did our usual walk around the car.

We spotted the most common damage on most continental cars nowadays.

These glossy black plastic pillars are usually pretty scratched up even before the car reaches the owner.

We did some magic and restored the pillars.

We did a light polish for the paint

Today, we have with us a recon, single owner, fully imported from the ports of Yokohama, Toyota Alphard. There’s something we would like to share about this job would be. The owner of this ride contacted to us via email for less than 5 emails and finally decided to engage to our services. He requested us to pick up the car from his work place, bring it back, detail it and send it back to him the next following day. The trust our client’s have for our work cannot be questioned!

Upon driving the car back, we parked the car and started to inspect the overall condition.
