Thanks to TOGW for giving me more work More from the previous TOGW.....the previous detail polish and wax residues... More from the previous TOGW.....the previous detail polish and wax residues.. look carefully the previous detailer not only gave me a chance for this job but also work!!! it almost took me 2 hours to get around these unpainted plastic and clean up Deeper cleaning begin! it is the most challenging to correct and clean wax residue from unpainted plastics! For the wax being just absorb and stay permanently!!!!! look again more work and the only way to get this out quickly is Kerosene which I do not practice that...so OPC is my best companion tada now my turn to tape up and becareful not to allow any compound polish residues stick on this delicate area many many hours later after opti coated many hours later this is also protected permenantly by OPTI COATING OPTI COAT these unpainted area is the best deal of protection one can ever find....they are unpainted ! residues of wax or polish sticks permanently! When this is not tackle, the car looks ugly even when other parts is done perfectly opti coat 50/505 before and after ta da finish looks moving to interior after a good good vaccumm I had to OPC the whole interior prior coating on leather, carbon fiber and carpet area state of the art i admit tempted to try to press this gear knobs????? where opti leather for the interior before before 50/50% before and after opti leather coat before opti leather coating 50/505 before and after after opti leather coating - the leather looks and feels more plushy (with greater protection to come tada before another 50/50% before and after opti leather ta da before after OPTI COATED now Fit for F1 race
