It was another hot afternoon, 32 degrees Celsius , humid & stuffy day

This is a brand new Suzuki Swift sport, fully import from Japan, which delivered to my friend. Good looking little ride. But later we discover a can of hidden worms – paint defect on a new ride, paint transfers…..more & more



I got to know him, through one of my public detailing session & he contacted me to him detail her.

Upon meeting up & viewing the car at night, without much street light....only with my little torch light, i discover patches of paint ..on the front engine hood. almost covered 1/3 of the right hood, only found out after his 1st wash & without realizing during the delivery time, he already complaint to the car sales man (of this defects) & he actually drove this to Megs detailing centre (they even did some wet sanding to demo to the owner) but not complete restore
what happen was ...the hood was repainted that quaterly & the car sales claims that it was some overspray......OVER SPRAY WHAT????? some paint flew from the car besides???? make no sense

so last sunday, he came over to my place & since another forumer called me ( i invited him along & gave both some private detailing lesson)

Car Detailing Lesson Guide
1. Washing
2. Cleaning – claying
3. Correction – paint defects, (removing swirls, water stains, over sprayed paints & minor scratches) Rotary hands on
4. Polishing - to restore the gloss
5. Protecting – opti sealing, wax




obvious paint defects with some underlining issue



patches of stains only on the repainted area


Although- most fine scratches & stain disappear but……………….
After wash look good but it resurfaces again

now the real issue........... over sprayed vs resprayed???? pics...
see t the imperfection of the paint

from a new CBU car??????




more at the centre hood...resprayed defects



as this car probably store outside for a long time check out the stained pics
this is the evident that prove .....its kept a long time & uncover....look inbetween the paint the hood & inside the engine bay


another defect orange peels

__________________________________ the deeper issue ______________________________________
how can paint got transfered?????

the answer is this is a single stage & soft paint...so soft it will get a scratced even from yr finger nails







for rest of the write up pls check it out here

How much is one Machine? What is the brand? I went to Ace Hardware, i see 1 is Black Decker polisher, RM 17x /=

is those the one?

Never mind la...No visible yet, wait till it swirl badly then only buy,....I now try maintain not to increase swirl and scratch with proper wash and wax i learn from here.

it's time to sent my ride for detailing. Is there any sifu here know of a reliable detailing services? Also I read about this ONR and like to know more ;p

Wow..paint colour can come off ..truly single stage paint ohh.

Sifu KC,
Just wondering is all the solid color paint nowadays still single stage paint? Eg: Accord Taffeta white?..

Pls do not get the B&D..i just sold off 2 mbrand new for 100 each.......if u desires a professional results get professional tools.....i reckon only the best Makita...share with yr friend...cheaper ones only cheaper by 100 plus & not even half of its relaibility

i am organising a grp buy ....

Sifu ...all also reliable... but how good is good & what are the results u desire...show room ???? ONR is a good handy car wash..so reliable till u can wash even under the hot sun...out station..parking in apt or any time


Honda nope...But this is a CBU the least expected ones from them....how can u pay so much ended up back technology????

I see. thanks for clarification.

IF Honda Taffeta white is single stage paint, i will be cursing at Honda because everytime i polish, the pad is fill with colour..

yupp


but why everytime u polish...is your car has so much of paint imperfection????

i did another ride
last 2 weeks in 3 hours...pls enjoy





yes its another alien detailing job...i actually did 2 cars in 3 hours ...the other zebra myvi & this.......


Its just a small simple gift to my bro in law for his generousity to us....well many gift can be brought by master card ...but moment like this can only repay by gratitude

After a week trip to Melaka , its time to give a treat to the car
Day 1 - Waccum , interior cleaning(u know holiday mess )
Day 2 - Wash , Polish , Wax

Damage = 3 + 6 HOURS

here's the result ,






look at the reflection

As I'm only using my hands , no machine involved . so the result is not that great just so so only

I just got my car (etc. black in color) about a month.
Swirl marks is getting worst day by day.
What make it worst was I sent my car to SC the other day, they did not notify me about the free car wash and they washed my car. Now my new car has extra small scratches.. >.<

I'm totally new in car care. I have no idea how to get rid of the scratches and swirl marks...

Can any Sifu here give me some ideas on how to repair car scratches? Or maybe I should read all 63 pages?

Thank you.

Usually , those SC free car wash , they just wash using normal cloth not those microfiber ones so tend to have swirl and scratches
I only wash my car myself and not those roadside wash

ok alwalys use microfiber cloth to wash , clean , dry and before u start washing , hose off the whole car then only start washing from top to bottom .
that's going to keep swirl to the minimum .
For the scratches , swirl , use polish to the affected area until the scratches is gone and add a layer of wax to protect it

EHHHHH....what polisher????not what brand & most on the shelf product is wax & if trhey mention polish ...this is only consumer range...i have never seen anyone who owns a Lamborghini or ferrari using these......pic yes...esp in a professional detailing job...

the brand u mention is all good manufacture xcept waxco!!!!

consumer...doesnt have much good choice...but

if u r looking for pure polisher...try Meguiars M 80 cutting power 4, Meguiars M 205 cutting 4 also, Menzerna, Optimum hyper polish....its the ltest hype pure polish
