Also the foam bath, why are you using that method of cleaning? A painted layer is a smooth surface which does not need foaming agents to get 'inside' parts of the paint. For eg. clothes in the washing machine need soap to agitate within the fibers.

Thanks Pete.

I don't measure gloss units. An old school visual observation is sufficient

Re Foam - generally, this is a pre cleansing method used to help release dirt in order to make the washing process safer.

Our various uses for foam wash:

1. To decontaminate the car - a chemical method to clean parts and also remove sealants/waxes from the surface.

2. To remove polish and dust from the vehicle and in conjunction with using detailing brushes where the foam will provide sufficient and safe lubrication as well.

3. Apply sealants

Car: 2010 Audi TT-S Roadster

Service: Stage 3 Paint Correction

Comments:

- Taken to the local car wash at least 3 times a week, this Brilliant Black Audi had seen better days!
- Various heavy swirling and deep scratches all over the car. Some of the worst areas were on the top of the rear passenger guard.
- Roof was cleaned, vacuumed and fabric guard applied to seal
- A very nice turn around considering the initial condition of this car and yet another satisfied client

Car: 2011 VW Golf GTi Adidas Edition

Service: Stage 2 Paint Correction

Comments:
- Although the car was generally tidy, various contaminants including tar marks and paint defects masked the true finish of the paintwork.
- Thorough decontamination focused more on the bottom half of the car including painted sections of the wheel arches, lower skirts and the rear bar
- Gloss was also improved white a bit on both the Tornado red paintwork and gloss black trim pieces.
- Car was picked up on the same night, so there are mostly only shots under garage lights.

Love your work Raj,

I just had a question for you. I have a couple of yellow marks on my bonnet from bird droppings which were left for about 2 days and they wont come out. Would you be able to recommend anything?

Thanks, and keep up the good work. It's a pity you're in Sydney and not Brisbane.

Car: 2011 VW Golf R

Service: Stage 1 Paint Correction

Comments:

- This Rising Blue Golf R was generally very well kept for its age and usage.
- The front end was covered in clear vinyl wrap and had been waxed previously, so various polish and wax residue remained in and around the edges of seams.
- Light swirls all over paintwork, noticeably heavier on sensitive gloss black plastics
- After rejuvenation, gloss and clarity were immediately added to the paintwork and metallic flake pop was noticeably improved.

Car: 2014 Mercedes-Benz C250

Service: New Car Preparation & Paint Protection

Comments:

- This Obsidian Black W205 Mercedes was only a week or so old but unfortunately was covered in a few nasty imperfections, including swirls, deep scratches and some polish build up in certain places around the car.
- With the preparation carried out and nanosealant applied, the car soon looked like it should have been delivered from factory.
- Depth and gloss amplified and minor detailing taken care of, the car looked stunning!
