We have here a BMW F30 Executive line, all the way from Penang. We arrived early to see the car already parked and ready for us to work on. Upon arrival, the car look spanky clean and new only to find out…
A quick walk around the car, still looked very clean to us. As we look into the details…
Some unknown spots of black were all over the car, especially the flat panels.
We also found that the car is covered in some form of tree sap.
These tree sap stains were all over the car.
We continue to inspect the car’s paint defects but found that the paint is still in a rather good condition.
Inspected other panels and the paint is still in a swirl free condition.
The owner then brief us that he had not washed the car since the delivery, it was barely the 3rd day of ownership.
We move on to the cleaning and washing process.
The paint is unprotected but clean, the surface had no tension hence the water did not bead.
Areas like this were not left out from the cleaning, although we do not always show our work fully but it does not mean we skip it.
This area was cleaned with a multi purpose cleaner diluted to milder.
We gave the rims much attention too. This was how it looked like after barely 3 days of driving. It was dull and covered in brake dust.
Close up on the amount of brake dust.
We use specific detailing brushes for wheel cleaning with a combo of a wheel cleaner.
50/50 on the cleaned and dirty wheels.
You can obviously see the difference in the cleanliness, now to get it coating ready.
The rims are now cleaned and ready to be coated.
Rims are coated, look at the definition in gloss!
Once the car is cleaned, tree sap stains removed, we wipe down the car with alcohol to further stripe the oil and grease, then we Opti-Coated the car. Here are the results.
We have here with us a normal sedan, a comfy family car which did not require so much of a protection but instead the owner still decided to get proper protection for his investment. We present, Honda Hologram City. But its gonna be a very short and brief post.
Upon arrival, we can see that the car is brand new, merely hours collected from the dealership, but it doesn’t mean that it is in a perfect shape!
As we inspected the car closely, we find it to be very clean since it was just brought back from the dealership but we find holograms.
Not just at one spot but multiple spots.
Some were left untouched.
We moved on to washing the car although it is already clean. We did not want to risk any bits of sand. Since we were at the washing, we also cleaned the engine bay.
The engine was then topped with a layer of plastic protectant.
The paint was then corrected of the hologram marks.
After correcting, we rewashed the car to make sure there was no grease covering the damages.
How she looks after a full polishing to remove all holograms. Now for Optimum Coating.
As usual, We will not caption the results, you be the judge, Cheers.
Today we have here not just your normal Peugeot 308. This is the Gruffe edition, its something like a sports edition for Peugeots. We were honoured to get to coat and work on such a car althought not extremely expensive.
Upon arrival, we inspected the car. The weather for that day was cold and wet. It had rained last night and the car is coated with a layer of dirt and dust.
But looking from a distance, it still seemed to be in good condition.
As we inspected into detail, we found…
Dust covered chrome makes the chrome look oxidized
Rims were brake dust covered
Moving to the paint inspection, we found holograms from post delivery polishing.
More holograms on the paint
Some sections had visible swirls and holograms.
The hood was also filled with holograms only visible under proper lighting.
For the correction stage, we first washed the car in a detailed manner. Clearly we could see that the polish that the dealership did was insufficient for paint protection.
We corrected the parts with holograms.
Others sections was also successfully corrected. Pardon the wiping marks from the polishing oil.
There was no longer any swirls and holograms around the lighting. Again, pardon the polishing as we were testing a new polish.
And finally, we cleaned the engine bay and applied a layer of plastic and vinyl protected on the covers.
The wheels were cleaned to detailed.
Dried off and finished with Optimum Coating.
We also cleaned and Optimum Protected the leather for a natural soft touch and shine.
The finishing blew the owner away with the intense gloss and shine from a maroon red car.
