    Black Altima, 2-step correction and Opti-Guard application


    This vehicle belongs to a return client of mine from Canada. I did the car exactly one year ago and at that time he wasn't ready to pull the trigger on the Opti-Coat. To give him a taste of what the coating could offer I decided to coat his front bumper and wheels. Needless to say he returned again this year specifically to have the coating applied. Keep in mind the owner is 6+ hours away. :)

    The car was still in pretty good shape but the dealer had scratched some areas on the roof when installing a new windshield that needed wet sanding.

    Process:

    Wash - Foamed with OPC/CGCW followed by 2BM wash and CGCW
    Wheels - P21S Gel and various brushes
    Tires - OPC, dressed with Hyper Dressing 3:1
    Paint prep - Nanoskin Towel and Glide as lube
    Initial correction step - D300 on the GG6 with Megs MF cutting pads
    Finishing Step - 106fa via GG6 and Crimson LC pads
    Protection - Optimum Opti-Guard

    Here is a little Youtube video I shot after washing the car which shows just how awesome Opti-Guard is.

    How long did it take you to put OC on this car?

    Thank you! The application itself takes about 30-45 min on most cars. ;)
