no worries - most importantly u did the right thing now

Added on December 18, 2010, 6:37 amdo you not know "no body cares for your car better than you " - many of such place does good washes - but the fact remain
when we drive out our vehicle for a wash , we always wanted it to be as quickly as possible- hardly we have time to wait to cool down our ride - both body paint & wheels is hot - & imagine the splashes of cold water - with power pressure jet spray on yr engine hood & wheels - is the both extreme .... why risking our ride to this harsh environment & is not good long term

back at home - we take leisure to do it, to me this is therapeutic, i love to splash water - just an example - back at home we are very careful in washing our dishes - using la AMway, COsway or Myway dish liquid detergent -
if we patronised any road side stall - chances are they wouldn't be using this, as it is not cost effective, i have seen many scrubbing with green cloth(scotchbrites) with cap HARIMAU powder la, take a look at some of this acrylic utensils - worn off & chips, wear down - the issue of ownership

our paint is just 2 mil of an micron thick (as thick as a cigarette wrapper) this clear coat is very thin & must handle with care - esp bimmers...cos when this fail our paint will be damaged...


here is some of the common clear coat failure - mostly to do with road side car wash

my friend send his car regularly






prevention is always better than cure

great buddy & i am glad yr interest in taking care sparks up



i opti coat

sure pls sms me where to meet ...i would be in cheras or Sunway

bro I use Power clean - & got it out, many of them even things left for months -
Hi buddy
Meguiars trainer - matt davis told me that he never see so much acid rain in anywhere in the world than Malaysia - i still have that training video

I am sure there is plenty of rubber stains on light coloured cars - eg side mirror - a frame rubber - door jam rubber - boot - head light

eg - last week we had one of the biggest TT gathering at MMZ

i did this cleaning , which the owner cant clean at all


with power clean & rinse off

A scratch mark..?


just spray and wipe!


now caress the bonnet ..!!






removing a scratch without polishing or compounding - why do we want to risk - of over cut - the only protection you got is your clear coat - so take care of it



hahahaha - i am still exporing but happpen to expore earlier
so i can talk more for now

pls start detailing yr own car

i prefer a clean one - yes if u r applying Megs spray wax - so the dry microfibers wouldnt collect it away

& nevertheless none of the wax really encourage that - as when water mixed into waxes or sealant it change it substance - as water has a-z varies (mineral content)

pads should NEVER be dirty - yes he has a heart of a great detailer - cheers


watermarks in windscreen that may be even harder to remove than paint etching which can be removed by polish or compounds

yes pld do not use acids or chemical - it will correct one & damaged another

thanks buddy
I appreciate yr kindness

Cheers

HI xDjWanNabex
there are many variety of waxes - patse - liquid but as for me i love to use spray

mostly requires lots of elbow grease - if u applied too much & much effort required to removed the residue - & you have to watch out for plastic , vinyl unpainted area of the bumper or car...otherwise u got another issue to remove

so easy that i can wax a whole car in 5 minutes & i can do it so often - easy effortless & effective




and i washes my car in 15 minutes without getting the floor wet too

are u referring to this
wax applied prior polish


on rotary???


aiyo yo sami


WHY MALAYSIAN never learn ????? turn over any bottle of wax - they do not recommend or says it shall be good to be polished by rotary - & where any road side fella just wacked yr car & gives u this

1st area Wax with china make rotary???

hologram was visible once we remove the wax

results unveils -
results base on the level of correction, gloss restored & clarity with depth

1st area
wax with machines

lack of correction & gloss & very little clarity

2nd area consumer (OTC) product with DA

better but lack of clarity & definition

3rd area Optimum hyper spray compound with LC cutting pad with makita



lastly
the 4th area - done with optimum hyper spray compound through out till finishing - with makita
wool - cutting pad- polishing pad - finishing pad
one product finish


a compilation picture



for a full elaborated course pls check out here

straight away clean it - i carry a bottle of QD make of ONR in my trunk

spray & agitate it prior wiping off with micro fibers

do not use force - always use plenty of water

if it is a hard stain - i will power clean & prolong left - damaged yr Clear coat

no worries...get a clay from jusco & some onr as lube - clay them off & after that u would love it

claying guide pls refer to hrere

bro congrats - very very nice le
but be very very careful when sanding
mainly u do not know how deep u sand & otherwise - thinning the CC is hazardous to yr paint

I would suggest using - turpentine or mild thinner - rub & rinse off immediately = do it carefully


or use compound...careful at times u rub it too hard & over strength & smear off the paint
\nevertheless you did it well


i carry a bottle of QD make of ONR in my trunk[SIZE=14][[I]

bird shitting


for contingency & emergency

ONR 2 ounce dilute in 600 ml water








i just wash this car with 2 & ta da in 7 minutes

thanks buddy

HI
thanks buddy for sharing with

i would be very much interested if you could do u a favour by :-

i. gives us a pic - before preferably or check out from my blog to do yr archive....so that we know what exactly u r facing

ii. u may also ask the car wash what they did for u

iii. observe this area - see whether it resurface after a few months



bro yes a sudden transformation could take place but how long will this gonna to last of you continue to sent yr car to the wrong hand to get wash & get thrashed

I am so sorry to hear about it, i thought it was 11 yrs old car - isn't it too much for a 1 month old car?

There is are few issue here - Swirls (aka Spider web - ) RIDS(random isolate scratches) & Hologram (buffing trials)

Swirls could be due to the a dirty sponge - dust & sand trap inside the pores - usually found in car wash

RIDS is cloths the used during wash & dry - cloths is dro on the floor - dust & sand is picked up

so happen last sun we had a Mastering in rotary class by me
We had another hands on intense paint correctional class yesterday, another crash course - learning how to be a one day pilot

lesson start with washing - the car correctly - ONR
all participant given a hands on experience & we did machines & consumer vs professional product in care care

some participants - on hands for paint correction - heavy stuff


Hologram - in proper handling machine - eg waxing with rotary machine?????
on rotary???


is there a need for machines??

1st area Wax with china make rotary???

hologram was visible once wax is removed



if by Over the counter product - consumer range like suggested

2nd area consumer range product

before


after

visible cuts is still there


i always like share what will damage the paint & hundreds of thread

kalau u pergi main futsal or football - golf or badminton
tak akan u naik kereta tanpa tukar baju
walau pun 20 yrs old kancil u pakai

why you are the owner - others just thrashed it

that is the very reason i write so many many many many many thread of DIY & how to do it yrself

many ppl does is for $$$$ - but the owner will do it for passion

where they should be giving their best for the fees but not

you judge a cobbler by its tool - many detailing or car wash shop do not get proper car care products - mainly ROI
rugi kalau pakai US product & pads & good microfibers

iti is so sad people just taking advantages - look at this

check out this Brand new BMW also kena
http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/car...shockening.html

its time we start to care for our own car

remember to bring yr pen & paper the next time when ever you join a detailing lesson making sure
trials of gold nuggets are written down
choose this day
which finishing you like on your ride

Added on December 31, 2010, 4:21 pmI have just completed written a guide for some to prepare their car for new year ! Just a simple detailing that will bring up the value of your 2nd hand value


Preparing this 5 years old family to sell but there is certain suds & muds need to be cleaned & detail,

So they ask me to steam clean their cushion and at the same time they wanted the ride to look pristine & show room condition!!!

Over all looking great for a 5 Years old car - original paint & parts
but some complaint & request from my friend.......

"KC can u do steam cleaning!!!" some stain on the seats -probably our boys after football games

All she ask was for seats steaming but ended up ....another treacherous adventure

I fought not against the situation or paint issue but T.I.M.E...as i only have 3 1/2 hours to turn this around

To a children love is spelled as T.i.M.E ....TIME to yr girl f's & spouse is also mean LOVE

this is a guide written for you to prepare – a simple detailing that will bring up the value of your 2nd hand value
