First off Happy New Year!

I started the year off Opti Coating this Juke Nismo. To be honest this is a love it or hate it car and I actually really like it! Not a full write up due to time constraints but I couldn't have it in my shop and not snap some pics!

Just finished paint correcting an e39 M5 in the beautiful Le Mans Blue color. This was a 2 stage polish finished off with Opti Coat 2.0

Hey Guys,

Here is a mini write up on a 60th Anniversary CGT that came to me after hearing about Opti Coat and decided it was the perfect option to protect his CGT since it would be winter driven. He decided to upgrade and go for the Opti Coat Pro over Opti Coat 2.0. This job ended up being a 2 stage polish and here are the results.

Stay warm



Cleaning the wheels

After paint correction


I wanted to do something different then the usual 50/50 shot so I polished only in a square. Lol I call this the window of hope for paint. Hahaha I know, corny, but I can't help myself




Opti Coat Pro




Glossy rear panel. I love the cloud reflections


Last pic. Unfortunately no sun but it was still shiny.

Hey Golfers,

Spring is almost here.... I hope lol.

This client contacted me regarding paint correction on his Vantage as well as his M5. Not much was really discussed other then pricing and when he could bring the cars in. We figured out a date and in first was the Aston which received a 1 stage polish. This was the loudest Vantage I have ever heard, and any car with aftermarket exhaust for that matter actually.

I love the reflections down the side




And my favourite pic!




Hope you enjoyed the pics as usual and hopefully this weather starts to get warmer soon!

Just Opti Coated this 507 which was a pretty brand new car. There were some very light swirls that needed to be polished out but with the color being silver my camera couldn't get a good before and after. Regardless I couldn't have a 507 in the shop and not take pics.

Very nice gloss!

Happy Easter!

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.

Hey MKVers,

Had a chance to polish this classic e24 M6 last week. It's so funny because I was talking to my landlord about a fantasy M collection which included the e24, and then all of a sudden it shows up the next day lol! I hope you guys/gals enjoy the pics of this beautiful classic.

Thanks for reading again!

We were contacted earlier this year regarding this CLK Black and 2 stage polishing it. Things were put on hold as the owner decided on wrapping it instead and entering it in Importfest. We were contacted again and but this time for a job to focus more so on the interior and a clay bar wax job.

I couldn't have a Black Series in the shop and not take pics of it!

Hope you enjoy the pics!



Upon arrival




Starting the interior with vacuuming




The uummm, back seats or lack there of lol




Dusting out the crevices






Wiping down the interior with all purpose cleaner


I love this steering wheel




Wheels were cleaned using Iron X


Wheel wells cleaned


Car washed, always with 2 buckets


Clay barred the paint using the Nano Skin Mitt




Lite polish




Tires dressed




And the finished pics








I can't wait until these are legal in Canada. I would love to eventually get one!

Can you tell us about the nano skin mitt? I clay bar my car a few times every summer and would love to use something more efficient.

Also, my ex girlfriends father owned that E24 M6! So gorgeous.

Small world!

The nano skin mitt is works basically the same way as clay but the thing that I really like about it is, it give me more surface area to work with and no need to kneed(lol see what I did there) the clay after every panel.

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
