So we expected the car to be in good shape but instead...<img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/exterior-surface-prep.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The illustrations shows the initial look of the car when we arrived. Looks glossy from far but not as stunning.<img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_084143.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The car was quite dirty as it looks, notice the exhaust tips are fully oxidised.<img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_084114.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />So we took some immediate shots of the surface defects and we found heavy swirls and holograms.<img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_084200.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />From another view, you can clearly see the holograms.<img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_084218.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The rims was bulked up with brake dust.<a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=865" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_090338.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>After a detailed wash, claying and cleaning all the edges<a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=866" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_095336.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>The clean look after the car went through a detailed wash.<img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_095352.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/correction.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Now for the correction steps. We gave a few passes of compound to remove the swirls and scratches<a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=869" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_115916.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>A closer look on the surface.<a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=868" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=868" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_115856.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Reflection of the after compound and correction effect.<a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=871" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_123555.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>After that we run a few passes of polish to level out the holograms.*<a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=863" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=863" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_084318.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>We utilised a different kind of lighting for easier view on the holograms and yes, it has been corrected. The car was ready for the coating process.<a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=864" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=864" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_084355.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=864" target="_blank"></a>Before the coating, we gave the car another wash to remove dust and oil and also did some minor correction on the oxidised exhaust tips.<a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=872" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_124800.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/result.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Overall it was not a perfect 100% correction but the owner was happy to see the car being transformed into the 6 years ago state. Also *having see that it is a lot shinier and glossier. It was a 10hrs job but totally worth it. Enjoy the final results and thanks for supporting and reading.<a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=873" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_143204.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=874" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_143252.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=875" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172106.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=876" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172121.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=877" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172128.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=878" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172135.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=879" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=880" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172155.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=881" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172314.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=882" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172359.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=883" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172404.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=884" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172656.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=885" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172709.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=886" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172723.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=887" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172729.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://optiautodetail.com/?attachment_id=888" target="_blank"><img src="http://zero2heroautodetail.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/20130301_172744.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
