Sorry for the lack of photos as we are detailers not photographers.

When we not detailing OCD enjoys our extended coffee breaks. We haven't had much time to detail lately thus jobs are postponed until we are ready.

A past client contacted us for a detail and recoat of his cars which we coated back in 2014. To our surprise all his cars were still in good condition with minimal scratches and hardly any spider webs. Two bucket wash is important but I think we can up this by using the “two maid bucket wash” to avoid cross contamination.

Over a period of three days each car was foamed, clayed, tar remover to remove any foreign particles on paintwork. A medium cutting pad was used to remove scratches before a softer pad for polishing and finishing off. Washed again before chemical wipe down to remove any residue then coat paintwork. Wheels, calipers, exhaust and glass are also coated with suitable products for ease of maintenance.

Hasta la vista, baby

I normally dislike white coloured cars but Porsche “Carrara white metallic” is an exception. Beautiful colour especially up close to appreciate the fine metallic flakes

We’re always happy to see old clientele coming back to OCD with their new toys. This lovely blue Macan was only weeks old with minimal mileage but already had battle scars from poor wash technique but we will talk about that later.

Car was checked for any dents and scratches which were duly noted by the owner. We always informed our clients what is achievable and if certain deep scratches can be removed or not. We cannot stress the importance it is better to have a scratch vs very thin clear coat or none at all! There is only a certain amount of clear coat we can safely remove before increasing chances of strikethrough.

This car had no beading whatsoever from dealer so we start with our standard two bucket wash. Some people use an extra bucket for rims (but where do you rinse the wash mitt right so shouldn’t you require a 4 bucket wash?) but we prefer to use a wash mitt, brushes and hose to continuously rise away the brake dust and dirt. Once dried we select suitable foam pad and compound to lightly cut the new paint. On this occasion we select a MF polishing vs foam pad to finish off the paint to bring out the pop in the metallic paint. There was one area on the bonnet were you could see someone had tried to removed bird droppings on the bonnet by scratching it off with their fingernails. This area was lightly compounded to remove all the scratches and polished to a brilliant finish you would be hard press to find the spot.

Car is washed again going over all nooks and crannies, checking rims and calipers are clean. Car is given a wipe down to remove any residue before applying coating to paintwork. Windows are also coated as per usual with rims, calipers and exhaust tips too.

Enjoy

We're back from our long coffee break!

Prepped and coated a lovely set of Niche 19" rims. Coating helps repel brake dust, dirt and road grime to stay cleaner and ease cleaning.

The UDM.

This beauty came to us for an OCD Detail and Coat and what a beast it is!

Inspected for dents with mileage noted down we start a foam bath. Detailing brushes out to go over every nocks and crannies whilst another works on the wheels, brakes and exhausts with specialized cleaning chemicals. Cleaning the wheels is a mission especially when they are multi spoked as we never use harsh chemicals that may stain or dull the clear coat finish.

Good old hose down to remove loose dirt before starting two bucket wash and dried for our second inspection and pad/polish selection. Tested a few pads and decided on a light cutting compound and pad for first stage to remove spider webs and scratches. Second stage was a fine MF pad and polish to bring a finish that will bring a smile to everyone’s face.

Even though we use low dusting formula compounds and polishes we still give another foam bath to go over nocks and crannies again plus double check our work to ensure no spot is missed. Once dried, paintwork is inspected again before a chemical wipe down to remove any residue. Three coating products are used from the 9H on paintwork that is double coated for extra protection. Glass, wheels, brakes and exhaust tips are also coated.

No hidden agenda as we continue to provide a single service to our friends and clients. What you see here is masses of elbow grease and our passion to stay focused with an eye for detailing.

Thank you

Another black knight with cool gadgets I'm sure Batman will give his approval!

This black and carbon fiber specimen came to us rather unassuming and showing signs of normal wear and tear. However, hiding deep inside is the Accuair E-level air suspension and a plethora of mods that would cause most normal grown men to cry!

OCD has been in a vein of working with black cars recently, so we have been experimenting with our equipment as there is no magic formula for all cars. This AMG was treated with a mid cut polish with an compounding microfiber pad, then it was given a light cutting polish on a med foam pad followed by a final polishing for it to be jeweled. 3 stages and hours and hours of back breaking work to produce this bliss. 50 / 50 fender shots in the photos, most of the swirls were taken out at the first stage after finding ideal pad/compound combo.

The lovely gorgeous HRE P40SC super milled rims were carefully cleaned and coated with our aviation coating which give a good defensive barrier from pesky brake dust and allows ease of clean. Tail pipes are never forgotten here, cleaned polished and also coated! The interior was detailed by another respected detailing company and the owner has looked after it since. OCD provides a simple interior wipe down, vacuum and cleaning of interior glass. Exterior glass was cleaned and coated. Paintwork after the 3 stage work was coated with OCD selected products that produce not only a sexy slick glossy finish but protected from the elements too.

OCD loves the air suspension! Very nice install work by Reinart Design

Good to roll for future times..........
