No drama.... just Opti Coating a Toyota Altis.

Hi All,

Returning once again with a coating journey I had earlier this year. This time it was a Silver Toyota Altis.

As we all know, Toyota have been producing the Toyota Altis for awhile now, depending on country, as far as I know, it has been named Corolla, Crown and Altis. This here is the latest 2014 11th generation and I would not have expected it to have such excellent paint work.

This is the 2nd Altis I am handling (previously a white one) and let me say that their paintwork was almost(I am gonna say ALMOST) flawless upon delivery.

Now, lets start the journey.....

Car arriving at my place in the morning, was expecting a full day job due to size of the car.


Some black dots on the bonnet.... hmmmm wonder what are those?


Some dirt kicked up while on the way to my cave......


So, after giving the car a nice Osren Bubble & Wax job, its time to clay.... amount of dirt lifted...


Seriously.... besides a few dots.... there was no tar or any sort of contaminant....


Yeap.... even dirt kicked up...... has been washed.


Ok...... finished coating...........


Yes.... seriously.... no drama....btw, that's my wife's car behind


Really..... I am serious.... there is no drama at all...... that is how good the paintwork was..... flawless.....almost.... to be explained below. Btw, that's my white knight behind


Time taken: roughly 6 hours (inclusive of breakfast time and lunch time and lepak time chit chating with the owner on car maintenance)
 Products used: Osren Bubble & Wax car shampoo, Osren Perfect Finish, Opti Coat/Guard. Some microfiber cloths and sponges.
Satisfaction level: Pretty good.... I give it 9.5 out of 10. The -0.5 is because I did not had to do much.

Notes:
- The car was delivered to the owner about 2 weeks back before meeting up with me.
- The paintwork as I say.... almost flawless. Only the driver door needed a bit of correction. There were some hologram and was taken care of with just one pass of polishing.The finest polish I got. Did not even have to go aggressive on it.
- Work was completed way faster than expected even though it rained.
- Black dots on the bonnet was just dirt
