Roys Skyline 370GT

After Opti-Coating his brother's brand new Toyota 86, Roy came to us to look at his recently imported Nissan Skyline 370GT. You don't see a lot of these on the road, which is a shame as they are a great looking, comfortable and powerful GT cruiser!

Being secondhand, Roy was keen to get the car's condition back to new, so after some discussion we settled on a stage 3 paint correction with added Opti-Coat to lock in the shine and provide protection for years to come.

As always click on the photos to see the larger version.

The car came in full of swirls, water spots and dirt.

Till then, stay away from automated car washes!

Got Leather?

Opti-Guard Leather & Vinyl creates a hydrophobic coating to protect coated leather and vinyl surfaces from premature aging, cracking and other damage such as colour transfer and staining of leather seats.

Opti-Guard Leather & Vinyl is manufactured using an acrylic hybrid resin that allows a strong, flexible coating for these softer surfaces with complete protection from UV damage. Opti-Guard Leather & Vinyl is resistant to chemicals providing mulit-year protection which is unheard of for leather coatings. It contains special matting agents to maintain the original factory appearance of the surfaces it is applied to.Apply Opti-Guard Leather & Vinyl to leather seats, vinyl dashboards, leather ands vinyl trim pieces or convertible tops for complete protection inside and out.

It's like Opti-coat for the inside! Contact us to find out more.

Mini Detail of a Megane RS

I was asked to quickly prepare this car for an upcoming photo and videoshoot. The Megane RS is a brilliant little car, and this colour is absolutely amazing. The owner had had the roof, door handles, mirrors and badges wrapped in vinyl for an aggressive look, and I was asked to make the car look as good as possible in a short amount of time.

I settled on using Optimum GPS to bring up the gloss, remove minor swirls, and provide a glaze, as well as acting as a brilliant sealant. To provide better protection and enhance the shine further, the car was topped with Optimum Opti-Seal - a sort of Opti-Coat 'for babies' if you will. It ended up looking brilliant, especially in the sun light as it glimmered in all its golden glory.



Hard to see, but there was absolutely no beading of water, meaning no protection on the paint!

The car had lots of black grime build up in crevices - they really stood out on a car of this colour, and had to be removed with a cotton bud.

The carbon spoiler was polished and had Opti-Coat applied for lifetime protection. Check out that weave!
