White Toyota 86 Touch Up and Insurance Work

Several months ago, we performed a full paint correction and Opti-Coat application on Brody's brand new pearl white Toyota 86.  Unfortunately, Brody was involved in a minor accident and had to get a new door for his car. Being a smart guy, Brody was fully insured, and his insurance company paid for the detail of his car and application of Opti-Coat to his new door, ensuring it too was protected like the rest of the car.

The first thing we noticed was how stunning the car looked. It had ben several months since being treated, and the car presented as brand new. That's the magic of Opti-Coat, it will keep your car looking good forever.

After a paint correction to jewel the paint on his new door, we performed a mini detail and applied some gloss enhancer to enhance the shine further. To make his car stand out from the crowd, Brody elected to have some matte black vinyl applied to the lower bumper through one of our affiliates. Contact us is you're interested in vinyl vehicle wrapping, everything from door handles, trips, to a full car wrap! All work is fully guaranteed and we only use the highest quality vinyl products!

Here are some photo's of Brody's freshly detailed car:

Black Toyota 86

Some time ago, we performed a paint correction on a black Subaru BRZ. Now it was time time for its twin, a black Toyota 86. Black is the hardest colour to work with, with every single swirl and scratch visible under any light, so it's important to get the paint as smooth as possible before the Opti-Coat application. However once the car is corrected and Opti-Coat is applied, there is nothing quite as glossy or 'wet' looking as a freshly corrected black car. Enjoy the photos.

The car as presented. Needed a wash, and the car lacked any real gloss or depth, the hallmarks of a black car:





Starting with the wheels and a wash of the car:





The car was full of scratches:









Luckily the paint on these cars is quite soft, so a short while later we had a flawless finish:

Getting ready to Opti-Coat:



And the end result is a beautiful, glossy, wet looking car:

Unfortunately, when the client came to pick up the car the following day, it was raining. However this was a perfect opportunity to show off Opti-Coat's amazing ability to bead water:

Lime Green Hyundai Veloster

Who here remembers when Hyundai came out with the Excel for $13,990 drive away? I think it was in the late 90's, and my brother and I had recently moved to Australia from England. Whilst great value for a new car, although there are now cheaper options from the likes of Daihatsu, most people would agree that the Excel was possibly the worst car ever made.

However, Hyundai have evolved, and much like how the Japanese manufacturers beat the American's after a few failures, it seems the likes of Kia and Hyundai will soon be beating the Japanese! And this lime green Veloster shows why. A truly unique design, with a unique three door design, the Veloster has looks and performance to boot, with a turbocharged version to rival the Golf GTI also available.

This particular example was brought to us shortly after being driven from the dealership. True to form, the car was not detailed by the dealer, but due to the weather, it did have a lot of watermarks, dust and dirt. After a thorough clean, a mild paint correction was performed to maximise the shine before locking it in with Opti-Coat ceramic paint protection.

And we have another one!

The Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ is an extremely hot car right now. So much so that we have probably done at least a dozen of them over the past 8 months. There are a lot more on the road, but unfortunately it seems many of them were sucked into purchasing the dealer provided paint protection. It seems a lot of people find it hard to say no to a an attractive blonde offering them paint protection! Don't fall for it guys, its a trap!

Thankfully, Shaun knew what the right thing to do with his brand new 86, and even asked the dealer to abstain from detailing the car, as always requested by us. The burnt orange colour looks fantastic from factory, and even better once we've jewelled the paint and topped it with some gloss enhancing Opti-Coat. Enjoy the photos!





















Love these cars. Would love to get one eventually, and turbocharge it to make around 300kw!
