testimony

QUOTE("bella")
as a number of guys here who signed up for the event couldn't make it, thought i would post a quick trip report.

many thanks to KC for arranging the event, and to both KC and Seech for making the day possible and sharing their knowledge. it was an extremely enjoyable day, learnt a lot, and it was great meeting the kids at yayasan sunbeams home.

KC started the session with a brief talk about detailing, the various stages, required products and tools.

many may think once their cars has lost her previous lustre that its time for a respray, in fact its better to keep the original paint. most places won't do the necessary prep work (which can take up to 90 days, with the spraying only requiring one day), and it they don't it won't be cheap. even then most paint shops ovens don't go to as high a temperature as the factory, hence why its better when possible to keep the original paint.

KC also highlighted the shortfalls of opting for what may seem the more convenient option ie getting those muppets in car parks to snow wash yourcars, but in the long term this can cause more damage to the paintwork than its worth it (not least because they run the rotatory polisher at too high an rpm which damages the paint's clear coat).

for those who want to keep their car clean with little or no fuss, without having to get into the whole detailing thing, the easiest thing is to use the optimum no rinse wash (ONR). due to the improved surface tension its possible to wash with one microfibre and dry with another leaving no smears, all done within 20mins (easier than the current no rinse wash i'm using). for even better value, i would suggest a couple of guys buy a gallon bottle together.

then followed a hands on demo of using the rotatory polisher and correcting the paintwork. i didn't bring my coupe for the demo, so KC used Temptress' wira

... by no means a bella but the wira certainly left feeling like one.

the hood had in fact recently been resprayed but after the detailing looked considerably better (in fact it highlighted imperfections from the respray compared to the original paintwork).

also amazed that we were able to get rid of stains from tree sap and scratches on the boot.

lesson begin with proper washing techniques "preventive measure" "proactive protection"
most paint swirls 99.99 comes from wrong techniques of washing - either using wear out foam - swirls strokes instead of left to right/up to down strokes, washing from top to bottom or starting from top & gradually goes down to center then lastly finish with the bottom the most contaminates
or
worn out cloth - "what is the issue of changing MF cloth frequently" at least 3 times a year

I was very excited to use the opc... So the first thing I did was mixing a bottle of 1:8 and tried it on the marks underneath the hood... I can see that the opc is working on the stains breaking down them down from the direct spray on. However, that ratio didn't work well on the stubborn stain and so I stepped up the ratio to 1:5. Slight improvement but still not quite what I was expecting. I tried one spray right from the original bottle itself to see how it work and to my surprise, it did pretty well! However, I find that it could not remove the yellowish paint (white car) resulted from prolong negligence on the paint even though it managed to clear off the stains...

thats is the right priciple - stepping up & start from the least

u should premix 1:3 (that is DOc G recommendation

not to worry since u have found the antitode now u can do it all over again

it is always easy when u know how...right..thats is the whole reason of our awareness clinic about

what i reckon is that u use onr weekly a quick wipe down & bi monthly OPC with MF & hose down

it is the regiment of maintenance that keep your white blink blink - as we have the most severe ACID rain in the region

Zaid from Mauritius never seen their white cars with stripes but here almost everyone of it & worst still on the glasses

try Opti seal it.....it will be protected & easier to clean
Now with OPC to clean your paint regularly ( avoid machine esp rotary) then Optiseal it & OC wax
Ma ma mia - better than sending for coating - as many is doing so & enjoying the white blink blink
forumers like Alvin, Michael & Lai & show you their white blink blink

PREVENTION is always better than CURE!!!! by all means find a proper parking & dont park at our convenience at others inconveniences!! otherwise 'the Teach you a lesson' * will abuse your investment

Factory paint is still the far best !!!! Don't Repaint Panels to Cover Scratches!! Don't touch the paint! as collectors wants to do a restoration he's going to do it his way and not our attempts to repair!!

many painter tries to achieve a factory original paint job but, as it is baked under around 1,500 degrees to a rock hard finish.


Cars Collectors will pay you far above book value for your car the authenticity of your ride

Have a great weekend

Rotary polisher are best to be removed scratches, swirls and compounding marks left behind from the inexperienced (previous hacker) BUT also the worse in ruining one paint....it is highly recommended that rotary polishing should be only handled by experienced detailers only.

Had a very unexpected encounter today,

was washing my car and my aunt came over in her Kelisa. So Seeing it was filled with tear-stains and was really dirty, I thought I gave it a quick traditional hose-down-and-wash. Boy was I wrong.The tear-stains were so bad, that even the car wash felt like sandpaper on the surface.

Then I remembered that KC always advocates the OPC. I went in and grabbed my pre-mixed 1:3 solution and started spraying and cleaning panel by panel. And I tell you those stains just dissolved and was washed away with a gentle stream of water. Amazing stuff!

Last bit i went on was with the wheels. It was so caked up with brake dust. All it needed was a generous coat of OPC, a little agitation with my wheel brush and it just hosed of with no effort. All in all I took only about 40mins from washing a tear-stain etched car to a quick-waxed glossy metal.

I am not an official believer of OPC  laugh.gif
I love OPC while used to clean mild stains, but this time it proves that it is equally easy to clean stubborn tear marks.  thumbup.gif

there are many calls in life in some....can be of exciting and others is frightening

but this comes with excitement & both challenging

I was called to detail 1 ride but

The real challenge come when ...you only have 4 hours to complete a car for show (ended up detailing 12 exotics & super exotics before the midnight) having polish & compound on 2 rides & the rest is history



arriving at scene

the only speed wash & safe for super exotics like this user posted image

while my buddy seech came slightly early to preps a super Mini Exotic & was correcting the paint...

QUICK RESCUE - (for) IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES
ONR - WASH / OPC (for car that need paint cleanning)
Preps - Clay with ONR as lube
Optimum opti seal
Optimum car wax


time : 25-35 Minutes per ride
OPC wash the magic portion & HERO who cleans all the paint washed by Lai and seech came over as soon he has super sonic complete the mini & mean while .............

left 2 hours...i jump to rescue......
another hot ride just roll of from the baking room - that need a large amount of paint corrections for the show (the 2nd ride that we polish)

we did it outside & rain came
imagine just a 30 minutes of ONR - CLAY - OOS - OCW....now under

as it is already 1800 hours....after a whole day clinic...seeing all our cars ...soaked under rain & dust...simply irresistible ...

QUICK SHOW ROOM DETAILING
Please note, we just cant simply wet the exhibition hall as plenty of fingers prints and human oil stains upon these rides...is another headache!!!

Thank God its friday
OPTI CLEAN - my indoor hero
OCW - to replenish the slicky-ness & glossiness restores

Especially the matt paint are the most headaches ones - but after a quick OC wash and a fresh layer of OPTI seals makes wonders and prefect protection

after having waterless washing all these 12 rides - some reseal (many other need a 2nd wash by the time I do step 2) & finish of with OC waxes - my observation confirm this:-

what damages car paint? Clear coat threat ?

what creates swirls? what are the sign of your clear coat damages?

always from improper way of washing (how it is being handled)

what you cant see you wouldnt know

and usually what you wouldnt know it dont exist

I had to attend to 2 urgent call over last weekend - both are critical - one whom got water proofing residue stain the back of the car & another severely Clear coat damaged...both requires more than 10 hours each ....

read on......

my buddy whom likes his ride to be clean & mint condition ...so the cheapest way is to engage a bicycle detailer...one whom wash your ride -whether rain or sun daily...in the same bucket

wonder is this the right place to ask for detailing my car body and mirror with clay?
ytd i tried to clay a small part of my car body for 30minutes. using just water as lubricant and going circular motion. i'm using PG Clay No.1 as my car is black.
After 30minutes, tada...no different..still alot of watermark on it. and is it ok to use it on windscreen? i already tried ytd oso..same same. rub until my hand sour but still the same =.="

bro
you got some issue over paint...long over due contaminats
just like the above lexus


allow me to share with you

First time father / fatherhood -there were mixed feelings . There was a sense of joy and pride. Yet, there were also comes with alot of uncertainties and the amount of sacrifices have to be made! We will need to adjust our schedule around the child. ... But please get prepared by learning from others and do as much reading up as ... just like getting a new car


My Buddy is very exciting....full of expectant and uncertainties!!! I answer many calls daily....most of them of it in regards to new car ....can I send it to you to polish wax??? Huh????

remember what happen when you send it to a half past six detailer [URL="http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/car-detailing-forums/361384-paint-abused-by-half-pass-six-detailer-at-cars-mid-valley.htm"]http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/car-detailing-forums/361384-paint-abused-by-half-pass-six-detailer-at-cars-mid-valley.html


also remember to check your pre-deliver car under the sun....to avoid this http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/car...correction.html

So we are here to help you through your periods of uncertainty by addressing some common issues, myths, and practices of a new father...the issue of ownership

Prevention is better than cure

Wash yr car your self weekly, wax it monthly & seal it quarterly in a year

wash takes 1-2 hours, wax 2-4 hours....how to do it

before wash

How to ONR your whole car in 20 mins & wax in 10 mins

ONR polymer encapsulates dirts, soften the dirt and release, later picked up by the microfibers

after (50/50%)

after the whole car wash, dont waste the balance of ONR - use yr old MF in the most contaminated area of your car

wheels before

by all means in just 3-4 min a wheels

avoid washing after drive...when is hot esp ......let s cool of...not with aggressive acidic foam wash - as it is clear coating



How onr works?

find dirt entrapped at the bottom of the solution...as ONR change the water texture, soften it....an average car washes requires 150 litre water but ONR only uses 7.5 litre water (VOC compliance) not harmful to both yr car & environment...esp yr skins

saves water time & effort... almost the same time you use to driving out to car wash

after 20 min
