Brand new VW... the owner wanted his 2-day old ride to be protected from the harsh Malaysian weather and had arranged to alien Coat his car with Optimum Opti-Coat.

As it happened, his car was the first to be alien Coated at our new detailien HIVE.

Jetta...

Starting out with a thorough cleaning and paint inspection...

Hmmm..... judging from the stain on the plactic, it would appear that a pre-delivery polish was done.

The usual anti-rust residue quite commonly found in most new vehicles these days...

Some random scratches...

and stains...

Upon closer inspection the glue residue from protective plastic sheets could also be found especially on the edges...

Now it looks new...

Even the groove in the side mirror is carefully cleaned.

The most important aspect of coating. Surface preparation!!!

As the alien Coating forms a permanent protective layer on top of the existing paint, any surface defects that are not corrected would also be sealed in by the coating. Hence, the need to fully correct the paint before the coating is applied.

Optimum Hyper Polish with the Double-Sided Red Foam with Makita 9227C and also Optimum MicroFiber Polishing Pad with the Flex 3401 was used to perfect the paint.
