First FR-S In The US To Be Opti Coated

This car belongs to a member of the forum ft86. The car received a new car prep and opti coat treatment, and I can't wait for him to wash his car. He's going to be amazed at what it does :lol:

The car was in good shape overall since he picked it up two days ago (I think?) and specifically told the dealer NOT to wash or detail the car. However, some swirls were still present, but nothing too bad overall.

The befores:

Took awhile for me to figure out that it was a Scion.

You did a great job! Looks beautiful now.

How long did the detail take? Did you happen to take any interior shots?

I think this is the first Scion I would consider buying, it's a great looking car!

The detail took roughly 7 hours, and I did not take any interior shots since this was an exterior only detail.

Cool! Does it look typical toyota inside, or has the interior been "Europianised"? I know there is no such word, but you know what I mean?

Not typical Toyota, but not exactly Euro either. I think Toyota is trying to head into that Euro interior look though. I like the interior, minus the few textured plastic pieces.
