We have with us a 2012 VW Passat Sports, unlike the CC that has lots of nice curves, this is the slightly boxy one, netherless its brand new, but been through hell before sent to us.
The car was picked up at the dealership a day before we were asked to come. Barely 24 hours and it is already covered in dust and sand.
The high powered TSI engine caused the owner to floor on the brakes even more often and resulting heavy brake dust considering its 1 day old.
Driving via the trunk roads also allows you to not pay toll, not have comfort drive and also kill lots of bugs. Here are some collection of mosquitoes, moths, and some other smaller insects.
The reflection on a new car is normally clear and reflective but not sure why this is blurry.
Later that we found that its covered in holograms, swirls were minimum but it was the hologram that is hiding the gloss and shine of this sweet ride.
The car was first bathed with Osren Bubble & Wax with a dash of Osren Multi-Cleaner for additional cleaning strength.
After the wash, clay, further detailing cleaning on the edges, we moved on to a polish to remove the hologram and check on the results. In this picture, We have 2 different lightings for comparison.
We zoomed in the halogen spotlight and found that only holograms existed, no swirls or RIDs
Then, Zoomed in to the LED and again, no swirls or RIDs remain.
Double checking on the holograms,
The results was a big jaw drop for the owner as it looked even better than when the car was collected. You be the judge as usual.

We have here today a Audi A4. Brand new and unwashed! Its like a fresh new paint waiting to be pampered.
Because the car is relatively new hence its not in a very dirty state, we then moved on to the surface inspection and we found almost nothing, not even a single swirl.
We inspected the car under 2 different lightnings which is the Halogen Spotlight and the High powered CREE LED. From this shot its the halogen spotlight.
From here you can see the LED
The surface had no wax, no grease, no silica and no protection at all. As you can view from this illustration, the water is not beading or even slipping down the surface.
We started with cleaning up small edges and look into the smaller details before we washed the major surface.
We spent about 2hours on the detailed cleaning itself. Then double checked on the surface condition. After that we started the coating application
The wheels were cleaned inside out with Osren Multi Cleaner with a mixture of Degreaser for better cleaning ability.
As for the coating results, I won’t comment, so you be the judge to our work.
Today we will be working on a white Toyota Altis. Barely a week old the owner did not want to wash the car till it is handled by us personally. Why our customer’s choose us? Simply because we treat every car like our own! The challenging part of this job is that it is located in a condominium and has limited time usage of the washing bay.
Being an unwashed car since the car was picked up from the dealership, we expected a substantial amount of dirt, grime and dust.
The scary part was the car had some stains and bird dropping on it when we were at the inspection stage, worrying that it might have ached into the paint since the colour is white.
We the move on to inspecting the glass of any watermarks was our weather report shows a constant downpour for the past week. Just to be sure that there is or none watermark stains on the glass.
we found mostly dust and dirt on the glass nothing major.
For the correction, we used two different kind of lighting to inspect the paint since we are working in a fully covered area. There is no source of direct sunlight. We used a CREED LED and a 300watt Halogen Spotlight.
After confirming the condition of the paint we did some slight polish to further smooth-en the surface so we get a better reflection after the coating. Done with a Dual Action Polisher on a fine polish.
After polishing the results was quite good and the owner was very satisfied too. Even a passer by stooped to snap some glossy shots
We then moved the car to the owner’s personal parking slot, where we proceeded with the coating application there. As the condominium is very near to a construction site, we had to be quick and shift on the coating as it dust up too fast. We will skip the photo shooting and show you guys the results and outcome.
I personally like this angle very much as the pearl white’s metallic sparkles really pops out after the coating.
The frontal reflection and the definition of the pearl paint stands out especially when the original grills and trims are mostly black and grey.
Although there was not much lighting available but the true reflection can still be seen with barely a little amount of light.
The glass was cleaned with alcohol and Opti-Coated for a long lasting lotus effect while driving AKA “Rain X Effect”
I hereby present to you, this might be the first Toyota Altis Dual VVTI Opti-Coated in Malaysia.
