Got a call from the owner of an F10 which we coated a few months ago.

He just had his front bumper resprayed wanted to get it re-coated to protect it from the harsh Malaysian environment like the rest of the car. I told him to wait 1-2 months to ensure the paint was fully cured and scheduled an appointment to get the front bumper attended to.
All taped up and ready to go...
A halogen shot of the coated front hood. Still looks good!
The same can't be said for the recently resprayed front bumper. After only 2 months, some noticeable swirls on the new paint.
Corrected with the Optimum MF Polishing pad with Optimum Hyper Polish and the Flex3401VRG.
I explained to the owner that it would be quite easy to just clean the surface and apply the coating but that would defeat the purpose of the coating as the surface below would still have paint defects even though it is protected by the coating on top. The idea is to ensure the paint is fully corrected and then only coated to preserve and protect the corrected paint.
All ready for coating.
Done...
Nice, well defined reflection where the number plate is attached.
Cost to owner: $0.
Owner satisfaction: Priceless....
The detailien Difference.
