    F10 brand new BMW deliver with etched water-spots damaged - restored and OPTI COAT protected

    F10 BMW brand new delievered with waterspots damaged - restored and protected with opti coat by Detailiens

    Getting new car always comes with bundle of joy & excitements



    My buddy, contacted me to protect his investment a couple of weeks ago prior collecting his brand new car, and we specifically mentioned not to be wash by road side car wash

    on his way home driving thru some highway under construction and pilling

    splashes of `Wet` boring* spillage (drilling fluids) splattered the under wheel wells and lower side of the car

    drilling fluid systems usually consist components of a kerosene-like
    petroleum base density compound.
    so pls flush off instantly...to avoid hard to removed mud like stains....with Alien clean



    this is not an easy task to remove especially when is left unattended few days but with Alien clean effortlessly



    we always begin by a good good washing
    cleaning the electronic damper control carefully


    more cleaning


    more cleaning required

    anti rust drips

    spray on brush off & rinse away with OPC


    before


    after alienised




    a weeks old wheels


    closer


    closer


    immerse amount of dust accumulated and not easy to clean but..............................

    after a simple bath - with OPC


    before


    after a good bath before opti coat



    rims exterior before


    after


    moving to side steps area...


    removing dirt trapped in between by Opti clean

    center console cleaning make easier with OPTI Clean



    cleaning the fuel filler area



    a newly fitted universal Diesel filler adapter cap for all petrol station (as many comes with difference size of pump nozzle)


    moving in
    to clean the rest with the effortless Optimum Opti clean


    example
    before


    after OOC



    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    after a good good bath - we further prepare the paint surface decontamination - follow by inspection as paint need to be carefully studied and measured prior correction



    this enable a quick assessment of the quality of the paint finish and to verify the clear coat is not endangered or too much of clear coat being removed during paint leveling / over excessively

    we discover some deep water spots etching on the paint


    closer


    The most important thing a person can do is to find out what caused the problem and then try to avoid it into the future because you cannot continue to compound a thin, hard factory finish as you`ll go through the clear and expose the basecoat.

    thank God, we had this came along to study how much clear coat to be leveled when removing the extensive water spot damage.

    more at the water trapped at the catchment area of the rear bonnet







    In order to remove this kind of crater etchings water spots we have to abrade till the lowest surfaces /depths of the crater etchings, this will remove paint.

    before


    after polish & paint measure


    after coating


    point this out because I helped a guy once that got crater etchings from a sprinkler that went off at 4:00am every morning where he parks his car at a Condo and after he removed the spots he continued to park there.

    after careful inspection prior opti coat applied


    a simple illustration



    far away


    paint re define


    another hot hot day


    ta da



    the most wonderful protection anyone could gives to these chrome parts is opti coat

    close up inspection after opti coat



    more protection on plastic head lamp


    side mirror plastic parts protection


    front door


    front bonnet


    after


    wow wow


    amazing reflection


    look at this


    look again

    clarity & glossiness retain under opti coat


    rear bumper


    rear


    twin tail pipe polish by Master seech with optimum metal polish


    thank you for viewing another detailing thread of KC

    another sheer driving pleasure ready
