It was a huge pleasure to work on this classic R33 Skyline and in Midnight Purple too! We ended up performing a 2 stage polish on the paint and protecting it afterwards with Opti Gloss Coat. Ran into a small complication with the paint being fairly thin in some areas and couldn't get as aggressive as we would like to but everything turned out great regardless.
Hope you enjoy the pics!
Arrival
Cleaning the wheels
2 Bucket car wash
Claybarring the paint with the Nanoskin mitt
Masking off the rubber trim
And measuring the paint. This is one of the lower areas earlier mentioned
Before
After
50/50 shot
After the polishing was completed we cleaned out the left over polish out of the tighter areas with our trusty tooth pick
And finally Opti Gloss Coat is applied
Now for the finished pics
I tried to get a sun shot to show the flake but it had already set to far. This is the best I could do.
This beautiful Sepang Blue V10 R8 came in early spring but we have been so busy that I haven't had time to post it until now.
Not really much of a back story, got a call inquiring about Opti Coat Pro, client inquired with a few Audi Club members who vouched for our work, then in it came.

Long time client who previously brought us his w219 CLS 500, purchased this new w218 CLS 63 AMG and brought it in again for a 1 stage polish + Opti Gloss Coat.
Not much to mention about the car itself, the paint wasn't to bad and the 1 stage was enough to bring it up to a 8.5/9 out of 10.
On to the pics.

Always a pleasure to take care of this clients cars and I hope you guys enjoyed the pics!
Returning client who brought in his e39 M5 now brought in this e39 M5 Touring project car. Basically a 540i Touring with an M5 engine, transmission, suspension, etc. Definitely on my bucket list of cars to have.
Long time client brought in his e30 M3 Evo Sport. It had been imported earlier this year but sat in storage for a few months before it made it's way over to us, hence it looking quite dusty in the first pic.
Once brought over client said "give it whatever it needs". After the initial wash we came to the realization that it had already been paint corrected and coated most likely by the previous owner. So we decided to just give it a Basic In & Out detail.
Hope you enjoy the pics on this rare classic!
