KC bro, am very interested in your work. How much is it to detail my toyota rush? Thx

Last year I had the opportunity to detail this church van, as prepared her to transport VIPs, but a year later....it need to be detail again

http://thedetailers.blogspot.com/2009/08/polishing-van.html

Reason being heavily used for transportation & so huge to look after....

Due to the numerous posting, i have fequents call from many forumers..asking me how this & that.....
for those who happen to call me, i usually explain it in details
learn to recognised the the current condition (what damages or stain it has) & how to get it detail (DIY correct it)...
as i have conducted many classes , hoping other may be empowered to do it themselves

How to clean, dress your car interior the professional way:-
or alternative you can spend some $$$ send it to others to clean it...one of my friends just send her Altis to clean her leather seats to Cxx Ixxxxxxxx cost her 350 just to clean the seats & she paid 650 to subscribe as the member.......
@#$%^^& ..if the car can talk he will tell you how it was treated..LOL

here is what you can used, to get the job done...remember the Merz S class filty interior, the Ferrari F 355, BMW M3 convertables, Camry - smoking driver damages...i used the following stuff to detail them

Tools required...
1. Brushes - get plenty various brushes.....ikea, diashio, 100 yen shops must be soft bristle
hard brushes for wheel brush for tyres only,
soft painting brushes for emblem rims (as it is clear coated) trims, interior
long brushes for wheel arch accesability,
soft hair brushes for leathers,
soft plastic bristle for fabric - seats & cushion, dash board, car seats,

tips....please do not use strength, check periodicaly of the cleaners, do not spray cleaners directly on any surface but brushes..to spread evenly rather than to agitate any surface...when the cleaning agent etched in(please please be extra gentle )

2. Cleaners
Meguiars APC - good but expensive
alternative Osren MPC
OPT POWER CLEAN

I use Meguiars Glass cleaners

( i prefer not to use All In One ....2 in 1 products) most leathers cleaners & polisheer & conditioner has 90 % Cleaning & 10 % cleaning - so what do u want to clean or condition ???)
the professional only choose the individual cleaners & individual
conditioner... as by their experiences they know what work best

FAB Breeze ...ma ma mia products..good on fabrics (only)....please rinse off with damp cloths well

alternative...try to get hold of industry strength carpet cleaner such as...
Johnson diversified....Taski 1 ...excellant product...PH safe & 3:100 part of water dilutions


3. Micro fibers
I used different cloths for different parts of the car, (we do not use floor cloths on our face)
same thing over here too......
2 for drying the car
1 for washing
2 for polishing & compounding purposes
2 for interior
old microfibers - pls dont throw ...recycle reuse them.....wheels, rims, engine compartment,
lowest car skirt area....most dirty & greasy area

TIPS - washing the dirty micro fibers i used dynamo, fab is cheaper...most of the time i will spray
on aPC
soak over night - best to scrub, do not use softerner on yr all yr micro fibers (as it will lubricate
yr fibers & not allowing it to absorb any dirt)

Micro fibers single strands is like our single strand of human hair but divided into 16 parts...each
parts acts as to hold & traps dirt


4, pails....at least 2 -3 of them....one for the seats rinsing, another for dirt...door jams, side panel
rinsings, my last bucket for dirty side step, pedals

5. STEAMers if u can....steam it up...less harsh as compare to the conventional cleaning...as it
uses water steams at 3 bar preassure to clean...alternative way to clean


6. dressing - Leathers Meguiars Aloe leather conditioners, Optimum leather protectant ...alternatively yr expensive lorenzo...cleaning kit...it is the same but very expensive indeed

7. plastic & vinyl - please do not apply tyre shines here....or else it will attract dust & transfers to your sleevs....i say u spend a little & a bottle of Meguiars gold class interior & will last u for years)

nope on sun of the gun la, wxxxx, Kxxx, Txxxx Wxx la...later you will not want their after effect dirt

lastly you have to prepare to get dirty inorder to clean, the way up is down





cleaning begins with OSREN MPC 10:1 dilutions


remember before



ta da





cleaning


rinse away


ta da the left side panel



brushing the most abuse area...side steps...vinyl...OSREN MPC


ta da




interior - sliding door before


after MPC...& brushing
ta da


dash board before.... slimmy ...... slippery..most of all oily...suspecting from local consumer grade dash board dressing board ...aka tyre shine...long white sleeves would had some stains from it



TASKI 1 at work. brushing of gently..aggitate


wiping away rinsing with damp cloths

now a clean dash awaiting to apply dressing for protect..UV coated dash


my gratitude & thanks owing to my youth....without them 1 need to spend hours..but with them 45 minutes to get this huge things detail

i brought my youth out for tea & had a good fellowship with them

once again thanks for viewing....hoping u find your way & approach...feel free to give my method a try & let me know your results

what should i do with my car and what tools i have to buy (shampoo etc)

I dont need to be perfect but atleast let me maintain my ride shineness

any beginner stage for me? my car color is titanium grey
i dont even know how to differenciate clay/wax/polish that u guys mentioned above lol.

Dear Rideon
from yr pics, i guess is repainted surface

when it was done , the surface was not prep properly & now the whole chunk of paint just drop off lo...
the only thing u can do is repainting, as facing a beneath issue

any sign off rust????

no prob bro

u must detaill, washing it carefully but u cant wax it till 90 days...as your paintis not cure yet!!! not properly dry

as wax or sealnt contain solvent & it is bad for your newly painted surface ...as the bottom layer not cure...

ONR is the best...wash without percaution & it has a polymer layer to protect it till 90 days ready for wax

POLISH!!!! why???? is there any damages such as swirls, water stains or scratchs u want to correction/removed..pls dont get this preception wrong

i hqave written more than a book on car detailing in my blog

I'm wondering if KC got a standard price for polishing and waxing the car ? I remember i ask for quotation but in the end , i get nothing about the price.

Looking forward to polish and wax my car , a 9 years old waja.

hi guys, need to ask ya is there any special method to wax/polish fiber bonnet & bumper, i went to touch up my paint job at the place i sprayed my car, i asked them to polish the whole car as well, when i got the car, the shine was uneven, and they did not polish the fiber part eg. bumper. When i asked they said they dont polish/wax fiber cause it will spoil the paint. Was kinda pissed off but i didnt want to argue. Is this true, pls sifus help this newbie in car care.

TQ

Whoever polish your car just didn't want to do it for you. Paint is paint. If its on fiber or plastic you just need to make sure it doesn't get too hot but saying that they do not polish fiber is just nonsense.

i knew it, damn those @$^&*@! I think i would probably wax my car myself, juz thought goin to shop would be better coz its done with machine and professionals.....haih

We had another encounters last Sunday, although I could hardly lift up both my arms & shoulder is so stiff like a concrete……but detailing who can resist….

Instead of FLEE-ing …I flew to the crime scene….. one of which my buddy got a rotary & he started correcting his wife 13 years old oxidized car……

Let me share with you more…if you would please

Remember how lighting plays a big part in Car Detailing , as most cars defect only been seen from a strong lighting, what professional detailer want is to imitate Sun light but without the heat, as you need a cooling surface to work your compound & polishes.


Bette Midler : From A Distance Lyrics
From a distance the world looks blue and green,
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.




Look good….but….hold thy fort & horses




Can you distinguish from just light or strong halogen light



Did you notice the effect???



Have you not seen? Have you not heard?




IKEA offers lighting solutions that are more efficient and have less negative .
Magically change the mood in your room through our lighting tips and ideas,
produces warm light with a third less consumption


But does it work for car detailing…what you cant see, you cant correct



Have a bright & clearer day



stay tuned for another extreme extreme make over by a newbie on rotary....extreme oxidised make over


next change

My apologies...for not making a straight forward post....as it was written more to the general public...which most of my fellow countrymen ...

1.most believe their ride should be scrub in order to wash

2. most detailing shop does not have proper lighting...and each time they brag about ...how good glossy & shinny their work...butnever was shot close up. when it compared both lighjting side by side...

Now you can see the different..

3. almost all the car that was detail...some how ended up hologram....as free decorative gifts...

neverthel;ess..i owe my sincere thanks to all who read thru my post

Thanks for all your kind words of encouragement too

Cheers buddies
