We are all the way in a rural village to get this Nissan Xtrail corrected and Opti-Coated. The car is brand new, barely reaching 3 days old. Due to its area of activity, its constantly exposed to mud, rain, bad road conditions, etc.

Upon arrival, we saw the car in a rather poor lighting condition. Making the car glossy as ever.

As we our eyes got closer to the car. There you can spot the amount of dirt.

On the glass, its a mixture mud, rain and sand.

We got our LED out and check the paint. Swirls were visible on the paint even though its white.

We washed the car and found that the paint had 0 protection.

On the glass, the water doesn't flow off at all.

After finishing with the cleaning, we moved on to the correction stage. Here is step 1. Still some minor not so visible swirl.

Final step fully removed the swirl. Due to the age of the car, the damages are on a few areas only, hence we did spot repairs.

Finally, after about 5hours, we finally got to the coating stage, here are the results of the coat.
