Just like any brand new car, this Ford Kuga is no exception. We always tell our clients that even though your car is brand new and a few days old, it does not mean that the production date was a few days old. Most cars are stored in open air warehouses till the batch is complete. Prior completion of the batch, the car might have been left outdoors for a extensive time, hence the elements will be damaging the paint.
Upon arrival, we started to inspect the car, with limited time and a huge surface area to work on, we started immediately.
The paint is swirled up.
Holograms are also visible.
We assume that the car had to have some serious stains as the entire car had been polished.
Due to the lack of experience with a rotary buffer, the person that polished the car left us tonnes of paint correction to do.
The wheels looked like they had some very greasy tyre shine on it.
A closer look and the thickness of the brake dust is just speechless.
Wasting no further time, we started with the standard deep clean, scrubbing the low quality tyre shine off.
Although the paint had been polished, it was not detailed, hence most trim and edges of the car is stain covered.
We also clayed the car as we found the paint to be very rough. Claying will smoothen the paint and also show us how dirty it is.
After much intense cleaning and stain removed, we polished the paint. Here is the after.
Immediately, the shine was restored and gloss enhanced, this time, the owner came by and was just blown away.
After around more than 8hours of paint correction, we applied Opti-Coat Pro for the final protection. Check out the results. White, can have the wet glossy look too.

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.
