Did this car a little while ago and just now getting some time to post it up. Owner brought this in as a basically brand new car with hardly any miles on it. After having key parts wrapped in satin vinyl and getting clear bra installed on the front end, the task was to fully correct the paint and permanently protect it with Optimum Opti-Guard. The paint, plastics, wheels, and lights would all be coated with Opti-Guard and the glass would be coated with CQuartz.

About 20 hours altogether.

Upon arrival






Swirls on the A-pillar















Swirls and RIDS (Random Isolated Deep Scratches) seen on the hood









Some swirls in the clear film that would require some correction









Spraying the wheels down with Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner, a pH balanced cleaner safe for all wheel types.









The Mini Daytona Speedmaster Wheel Brush getting the wheel barrels nice and clean.









Inner barrels looking great








Foaming the car with a mix of Dawn and APC







Using the Swissvax detail brush to clean up the hard to reach areas






Washed, clayed, and ready for taping








Some cars need just a little taping and some need a lot.....this was the latter.









Sorting out the A-Piller














The C-Pillars required extensive correction

One more to go

















Correction completed on the roof









Lots more taping for correcting the rest of the paint.






Door edges and around the handles had clear film as well and was protected via 3M Fine Line 1/4" tape.


















Hood fully corrected

















Onto the wheels which needed some decent correction as well...








After compounding











Wheel looking much better






Pain fully corrected

50/50 of Opti-Guard on the trim









Engine tidied up as well








Finished pics after finishing the coating












Interior needed little work, but was cleaned up as well

























Opti-Guard gave a great look to the vinyl wrap covering the factory chrome trim.


















































Thanks for checking it out!

What is optimum opti-guard an how does it permanently protect?

Its a polymer based coating and it will protect for years. Its only been out for 3 years so far and every car is still beading like day 1.
