11) Final outcome

After all LSP finish applied.







Now the engine detailing is considered done for me.

Last but not least, try to start the engine and check if all electrical equipment function normally.

Because de-greasing has been done, but some part of the engine actually is better to have grease, such as the pulley shaft, the battery terminal sponge (if you have it), one can re-apply again manually. For me I usually spray a light coat of silicon lubricant on these area.

One can certainly bring up the level of engine bay detailing depending on how many resources you have. For example if you have a steamer, you can do steam cleaning, which is very efficient in removing gunk. If you have long brush, you can reach to the very bottom of the engine bay and do much more brushing.

The method I used is certainly not the only method and it is only best suited for me at the moment. As time progress I might change, you should too.

Finally I hope you enjoy reading my engine bay detailing post. Cheers. 

Yeah I did, wanna buy Wash & Wax and planning to top up my UQW.

Cheap le...but I don't have a need for this. So I share with you guys lor

Does it need to be mixed? like part 1 cup Synthetic X-Press and 4 cups water?
I bought liao, so..maybe in the future.

Nope. Like I said, I don't think I need it, cause I enjoy waxing every now and then. But promotion over Liao. Sob

Based on what I have read. This is for non- enthusiast. Protection last long, beading mediocre, shine level low. Its main selling point is still long lasting protection.

Thanks for sharing.

I myself use meguiars endurance too. Have to be applied thinly cause it slings. Durability is close to 2 weeks. One bottle can last more than a year even applying for several cars. Still have half left

Hai ! First of all, Wishing all muslim Selamat Hari Raya.
Any guys or gals tried 3m Quick Wax with carnauba. Saw it display on the 3m rack at aeon.
Thought of buying as it is quite cheap compare to meguiar uqw. Anyone has tried it before? How does it fair in terms of durability, shine/gloss , slickness?
Thanks

It is actually done by a poor man's paste wax cost rm9.50 made by China by autocare or xin qiu (it has both name on it. Lol).

I think they just copy the ingredient of Japanese wax fusso coat. I never use real fusso coat but the result seems like the same with fusso coat video. Not sure about durability and Uv protection though.

Thanks for the review. I have been using diluted APC 1:10 to clean my wheels and rims. It's not pH not neutral either. Not sure the long term effect of alkaline to rim and tyre.

How's the cleaning ability of the product? Probably I should try out CG Diablo Gel wheel cleaner soon if the product works effectively on removing brake dust etc.

Nice review. I have been using Osren Bubble Wash for almost 2 years (4 liters). It produces a great amount of suds and when wash on paint, I can feel it's lubricated enough. Good cleaning power. Despite it might not be the best car shampoo in the market, but I think it's great bang for buck.

My washing method - two bucket system. Microfiber Wash mitt . 2oz for 2.5 gallon water.

Hi guys, i used too much strength to with Meguiar Scratch X to remove a scratch above the door handle as per picture below. As shown in the picture, the colour looks a bit faded. I think i may have removed too much clear coat. Can i get some advice for this?  Should i leave it as it is for now or do i have to apply some protection over it?  Thanks in advance!

Sorry shud have highlight in the pic earlier. Not the handle but the door as now indicated in the pic. So u think i shud just appear sealant here too?

How did you apply the scratchx 2.0? Its less abrasive compared to ultimate compound and you shouldn't normally be able to rub through the clearcoat.

I used meguiar's applicator pad and just rubbed on the scratch.

Hi everyone , I was browsing on this threads for some car detailing products directions, but can't find it or missed it.

May I know if anyone tried before Sonax Polymer Net Shield? I wanna ask if it would be able to put on top of another layer of protection? Or strip everything off (eg. IPA/Eraser) then apply?

So to use IPA or not to use IPA?
Too many opinions here and there, wonder which way to follow better.

That sounds right since many sealants/waxes that are in some solvent base anyway so its pointless to wipe down with ipa only to apply a product like FK1000 which contains alot of petroleum solvent.

What about sio based sealants like reload/gyeon cure/fireball coat? Do you normally wipe down with ipa after polishing (before applying the lsp)?

And do you know where to get hand polishing pads which I was asking in my earlier post?
