This was a real fun transformation as the customer came in for a coating, some vinyl striping and window tinting. The car came straight from the dealer with no prep. Of course the paint was in terrible condition. Many fine scratches somehow ended up on the paint.
Car was dull and lacked any pop

Paint was in poor condition

Car was clayed, then prepped for pinnacle advanced compound using a GG G 15, and 21. The 15 was most handy as there were PLENTY of curves on this body.

After the paint was corrected via pinnacle advanced compound, and advanced finishing polish, our man James lined up the knifeless tape to prepare for vinyl stripes.

Time to lay some Vinyl

We then tinted the windows 20% to give the vehicle a real blacked out look

Once the paint was prepped for coating, we turned our attention to the wheels which lacked definition and pop. They were pretty gross inside from the owner breaking in the vehicle. Calipers were also coated.

Once the rims were put to bed, we turned our attention back to the paint and trim and started coating

We finally started getting the pop we were looking for with Optimum Pro Plus

Once the outside paint, trim and glass were coated, we started our interior cleaning. All carpets and mats were coated in GTechniq Fabriq
