im sure autogeek has been following much of my work on instagram (XSXVHouston) and facebook! Here's the write up.
This is part of our "Signature" Nano-Coating Package. Semi-permanent coatings that are applied on your flawless finish, make it more scratch resistant, water resistant, and helps you keep that shine.
For this car i opted for C. Quartz, why? Simple no other coating on the market advertises their coating is suitable for glass. C.Quartz is said by the manufacturers to last up to 2 years. Well... under my professional care the coating has lasted over 3.
Pick up! I was amazed how well this car rode being this low. Great air ride system.
Overall a great finish with lots of potential
So mineral build up, but it wasnt there long enough to do any damage to the paint.
Initial inspection at the shop. Light swirling. Lacks luster.
Engine looks great coming from JTran studios. No grease, excessive oil or finger prints. This really shows the great care that went into building this motor. The plastics needs major conditioning and a good show prep. Even at this level, there will be about 2 hours of detailing put into this engine
NOW WE BEGIN! After driving it through hot Houston weather, I allowed the car to cool down as much as possible before we got started. Lower temps allow more consistent results.
The finish on the wheels make it very vulnerable to being damaged by strong cleaning agents. So to protect it we taped it up in a way that the car can still be moved if necessary. These wheels were clean enough to do by hand later on.
Tron Mode
Now outside for an initial wash. Heavy enzyme decontamination with our foam cannon then a quick wash to remove all excess dirt.
Not much protection left after a few minutes of soaking.
Now back inside for further decontamination. The cool temps allow us to leave soap on the car longer without worrying about damaging the paint. Physical decon continues with a polymer clay bar treatment, rinse, re-foam with Iron X soap to dissolve any embedded iron form hot brake dust, then a R.O. wash. TarX is used on spat areas as well.
More aggressive clay for more heavily contaminated areas.
Micah conditioning the engine while I wrap up the exterior decontamination. The engine is still slightly warm while we do this, this helps the water evaporate out of our WATER BASED dressings and only leaves behind a non-greasy, high gloss finish.
All taped up for some major correction.
Results after initial cut. Not bad. :thumb:
End of Day 1, the next morning we will continue to refine the paint.
I'll post up day 2-4 soon! Thanks for viewing

. You can clearly see how water gathers and beads off.
