2004 Forester detail and Opti-Guard protection

**RaskyR1** · 03-04-2012 09:56 AM

I did this one a while back in 2010, but since I'm still pretty new to the forum I thought I share it. The owner had recently purchased the vehicle used and wanted to get it looking new again. At the time I did this one I was actually testing out the per-release version of the Meguiar's DA Micro Fiber system (amazing BTW).

Paint correction was done using D300 on a PCXP and MF cutting pads. I followed that up with M205 on foam finishing pads. Paint was then coated with Optimum Opti-Guard (pro version of Opti-Coat).

came out really nice... see... people just don't realize what they are missing out on sometimes. They don't realize their car will look BETTER than new, and with Opti-coat or guard it's locked in for quite a while as long as you treat it right.

Thanks!

Yeah, it's amazing how few people realize that those swirls shouldn't be there.

I really wish I could find a good detailer with this kind of talent here. My car needs this attention terribly. The previous owner didn't seem to care and it shows.

No prob!

I network with a lot of other pro detailers around the US and can usually find a reputable pro within a few hours from you. Some southern states like Cali and FL usually have several options.
