Detailing Shops in the GTA

Happy Mother's Day guys,


We recently polished this rare for the e92, Jet Black M3. The hood had been repainted and was a little more faded then the rest of the car and the owner was hoping that a good polish would even out the shine.

This client has been a long time customer of ours and has brought previously owned vehicles to us. To be honest we did this job last year but I forgot I had these pics until he brought the car back to us last week for a clean up as he is considering selling it to buy a GTR.

I love the color on this M3 which is Ruby Black. The flake looks like a wine color and under white lighting the car looks almost burgundy. This is a Competition Package so you have the goodies from suspension, to carbon roof, to the sexy wheels. I kind of really like this car if you can't tell....

Anyways on to the pics

Thanks for looking guys! As always I really appreciate the support from the Skyline community!

This was a pretty straight forward job. The client had just purchased this GTR and wanted to polish the paint. Nothing to crazy but something to add a nice pop to the paint. 1 stage it was and finished in a day.

This new Sti was brought to us for a new car prep and Opti Coat. We had actually Opti Coated the clients previous Evo X last winter so he wanted to get it protected again. We decided on Opti Coat 2.0 and a 1 stage polish to clean up some very minor swirling before application.

I love World Rally Blue as it is a classic Sti color and it was fun to get acquainted with the new lines on this brand new model.

As usual on to the pics.

We received a call from a client who had just purchased this RS4 from the States. He had said that the dealership he bought it from had detailed it already but didn't do such a good job. He was looking to have a proper fresh start and had heard about our services. He came in first for an assessment, then booked a date and in it came for a 2 stage polish and then protected with Opti Coat Pro.

We had Opti Coated this client's BMW F31 and he had mentioned how he had lost a Dakar Yellow e46 M3 in a flood and was trying to figure out what to replace it with. I mentioned an e39 M5 and I guess that planted the seed in his head because a couple months later this low mileage M5 showed up lolol.

Sorry about the lack of after pics but due to the overcast I didn't really get any good shots.

This client actually came in around the same time as the CLK63 Black Series we posted but just for a quote. I had totally forgotten about it when I got a call a couple weeks ago with the owner wanting to bring it in the next day. Perfect! As another customer had rescheduled and the slot was open. I love it when things work out like that! This was a 2 stage polish for storage.

Not really a write up due to the early sunset and having to finish this in one day. But I couldn't have a new RS7 in the shop and not take pics.



Quick clean up on the interior


Lite Polish


And protected with Opti Coat Pro

First Bimmer of the year and a long time customer. I've done his previous M3 as well.

Just a mini write up but I hope you still enjoy the pics none the less!

I believe this was our 3rd time working on a Mini and it was pretty cool that it was a Hampton. This client had seen our work online and was interested in bringing his baby in before the spring rush. Believe it or not as small as a Mini is supposed to be it was a lot of work! Masking the rubber trim alone was insane!

Anyways on to the pics

Hope you enjoyed the pics as usual and hopefully we see you in the spring!

We had detailed this client's RS before as well as his 997.2 RS so we were familiar with the paint as well as the condition of the car. Always a pleasure to see this one and work on it as well. The paint was looking just a little rough and we were hoping a 1 stage polish would be enough but in the end we did a non aggressive 2 stage polish which was protected afterwards with Opti Gloss Coat.

As usual, hope you enjoy the pics!

After the wheel cleaning and 2 bucket car wash we clayed the paint with the Nano Skin Mitt




Brought it in and masked off the rubber trim


Then took paint measurements

And finally the finished pics. I wish so badly that the sun was out to show just how glossy the paint was.




This was the best glossy pic I could take and it didn't even come close




Nonetheless I hope you guys enjoyed seeing the process on a rare colored RS.

Thanks!

We had been looking forward to this Lava Orange 991 GT3RS for quite sometime. We maintain this clients other RS's as well so we knew about this one for almost a year now.

Not really much else to say, got the call Saturday evening and it was in the shop by Wednesday



Arrival




Cleaning the wheels


Masking off the rubber and plastic trim




The whole front end is carbon fibre so we had to bring out our ultrasound paint gauge to measure the paint

Underneath the hood

And on to polishing the paint.

There was already close to 5000km on the odometer so the paint had some light swirls to polish out before applying Opti Coat Pro.

After the 2nd stage of polishing was completed we applied Opti Coat Primer via machine to the paint






We unmasked the trim and took care of some finishing touches like cleaning up the polishing dust and cleaning polish from the edge of the stone guard with a tooth pick




And finally applied Opti Coat Pro




Overcast day so the gloss was not photographing the best it could be, but still happy with the finished pics!










And the icing on the cake.... an autograph under the hood from Wolfgang Porsche!!!


Hope you enjoyed the pics as much as we enjoyed working on the car!

Thanks!
