Reflections Detailed: Scion FR-S + Opti-Coat

This car looked quite nice on arrival, the dealer prep and damage was done though. The major area of concern was the front bumper as even heavy compounding wasn't removing the random scratch marks. Otherwise we have a near 100% corrected vehicle.

Wash:
CG CWC + MGS Green Stuff
Zymol Wash Sponge
Dread lock MF Mitt

Wheels:
Meguiars APC 4:1
Brown Royal 2:1
Raceglaze Wheel Brush + Lug Nut Brush
EZ Wheel Brush
Tire Brush
PERL 1:1
Ultima Trim and Tire

Decontamination:
IronX
Ricardo Yellow Claybar
ONR Clay Lube

Polishing:
Meguiars D300
OPT Metal Polish on tips

Protection:
Opti-Coat 2.0 on all paintwork (with the exception of the front for Clear Bra), wheels, glass
1Z Gummi on all seals


Relatively clean.






The arsenal on your bottom right.


Pretty crisp!


Some minor swirls and adhesive to take care of.


Dirt and grime can't hide.


Crud all over the place.


Faint lines in the paint to be removed.


Clean looking trunk!


Exhaust before shots.


Could use some gloss...


The standard Reflections Detailing Procedure. 2 Buckets, filler area, trunk, and doors all cleaned up.


We miss no details.


Looking fresh after the wash.


Swirl option installed heavily on the mirrors.


Thankfully they did not install anything here.


The fun begins.


IronX doing its thing.


This one showed a bit less than the last two.


Brand Spanking New, Ricardo Yellow.


Taped up for polishing.


This area was hit the worst.


My question is how... This paint isn't terribly soft either.


Hood had some heavy marks here and there, majority was cleaned up.


After polishing.


Deep reflections!








Wheels after.












Exhaust after.


The Perfection is in the Reflection.

Thanks for looking.
