F10 BMW brand new delievered with waterspots damaged - restored and protected with opti coat by Detailiens
Getting new car always comes with bundle of joy & excitements
My buddy, contacted me to protect his investment a couple of weeks ago prior collecting his brand new car, and we specifically mentioned not to be wash by road side car wash
on his way home driving thru some highway under construction and pilling
splashes of 'Wet' boring* spillage (drilling fluids) splattered the under wheel wells and lower side of the car
drilling fluid systems usually consist components of a kerosene-like
petroleum base density compound.
petroleum base density compound.
this is not an easy task to remove especially when is left unattended few days but with Alien clean effortlessly
we always begin by a good good washing

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
after a good good bath - we further prepare the paint surface decontamination - follow by inspection as paint need to be carefully studied and measured prior correction
this enable a quick assessment of the quality of the paint finish and to verify the clear coat is not endangered or too much of clear coat being removed during paint leveling / over excessively
we discover some deep water spots etching on the paint
closer
The most important thing a person can do is to find out what caused the problem and then try to avoid it into the future because you cannot continue to compound a thin, hard factory finish as you'll go through the clear and expose the basecoat.
another water spots etch
thank God, we had this came along to study how much clear coat to be leveled when removing the extensive water spot damage.
more at the water trapped at the catchment area of the rear bonnet
In order to remove this kind of crater etchings water spots we have to abrade till the lowest surfaces /depths of the crater etchings, this will remove paint.
before
after polish & paint measure
after coating
point this out because I helped a guy once that got crater etchings from a sprinkler that went off at 4:00am every morning where he parks his car at a Condo and after he removed the spots he continued to park there.
after careful inspection prior opti coat applied

Very nicely done...was told recently in a BMW internal corp meeting with dealers that clear coat was going to get harder in 2013....

Very nice!
I was also wondering how you removed those water spots....what products/technique. Seems like you'd have to get pretty aggressive to remove those. |
