The owner of this car originally contacted me through my website when he was investigating OC/OG. I had scheduled the car for a one step polish and seal. Paint, glass and windows were to be sealed.

Here is the car as it arrived:

The first step was the wheels/barrels and tires.

The barrels were cleaned with Tarminator. They were then cleaned with Zep Citrus. The face was cleaned with ZC as well as the wells. The tires were cleaned with Zep Purple. Following the wheels, the car was foamed with a strong mix of DG901 and Dawn to strip any wax. The emblems, etc were spot cleaned while the foam dwelled.

After foaming, the car was then washed with the same mix which ensured that the surface was cleaned of any wax or sealant. I then did a decontamination wash with IX gel and surprisingly there was no purple reaction.

The car was then brought inside and the wheels and tires blown off with the Master Blaster. The car was then clayed with CarPro Elastoclay.

I chose Optimum Hyper Polish and a yellow B/S pad and my Flex 3401 for the polish step. I followed that with version 2 of the DG Squeaky Clean which was done by hand.

The car was given a wipedown the next morning with a mf dampened with ONR and the wheels and paint were sealed with OG. The glass was done with Optimum glass coating.
The paint was later wiped down with UWW to add slickness. The tires were sprayed via paint gun with DP gel.

The barrels were sprayed down with Permanon and blown off with the MB.

Thanks for looking. Comments appreciated.
 
Great work, the car turned out really nice.
 
Very nice! :dblthumb2:
Thank you kindly.

nice, if the sun comes out would be nicer!!

great work.
Ya, I was kinda bummed about that, but it was supposed to rain, so it was hard to complain. The owner loved it though, said it looked like liquid metal. That's what matters.

Thank you. They keep making that vehicle nicer and nicer...not an easy thing to do when it's so damned nice to begin with! I really liked that shot I took of the front of it (the very last one).

Looks great, as always, Richie!
Thank you for the feedback!

Wow, incredible work Richy. I love it!
Thanks. I've got his sister's black one coming this weekend. Can't wait to work on it!
 
Very nice!
I can't wait for the two new coatings (Glass and Lens) to come out :hungry:

Thank you. I am also very much looking forward to hearing more about the interior coating!
 
What kind of foamer and soap do you use?

Great stuff Richy. How do you like the Optimum Glass coating?

I love it like crazy! It is the fastest flashing coating I've used. I wish OG would flash this fast. I WILL definitely be buying some when it's released!!
