Hi to all my friends & forumer....sorry for the short silence...
It has been the most hectic months of my life...i have a series more to come (to be exact half of dozens review yet to be written)...this is one of 3 i did in a 3 days roll - detailing marathon during Hari raya holiday...where everyone suppose to take a break..but instead of breaking myself

I wish to have the luxury of keeping the cars for days or weeks to detail one...but i do not have the luxury of time .
this indeed is an added pressure, further more I have to complete my task from Dawn to Dusk...wouldnt you like the phrase "take yr own sweet time"..no way...we took close to 24 hours to complete this detail

Another...exotic encounters

more wax residue....on rubber.... lot of stress in cleaning it..

i have seen personally some famous detailed clean it with Super degreaser .....& other shops..with kerosenes

I dont doubt it work .....but why so aggressive ....why uses more harsh cleaners

Cleaning the wheels

P1120280.jpg


Quote:
major reason for damaged wheels is “instant gratification”. Many detailers just want to spray a product on, and rinse it off, and expect to have wheels that look like new. This is a main reason for detailers to choose extremely harsh wheel cleaners and to barely dilute them. They figure the stronger the chemical, the better the wheels will come out. They also spray wheel cleaners on a very hot wheel. Also, because some detailers want to rush through the job, they spray “all 4 wheels” at once and let the product sit on them. This will also quickly lead to etched and damaged wheels. You need to be smart and realize this is not a good idea and also realize that some degree of agitation is needed to release some of the brake dust

for the complete wheels detailing pls read more here http://thedetailers.blogspot.com/2010/10/wheels-detailing-simple-as-123.html

special pad flown in from US...3'' on small & curvy areas...esp on this ride

P1120400.jpg


Initially I started compounding with Lake country double sided wool pad & maybe give Megs M105 a try...but due to the vinyl verandah & goes thru heat ...high temperature cakes up everything & causes more holograms...

I swap to Optimum Hyper spray polish ....excellent working time ... heat & dry resist...with this advantage.. i finish the car

HI bro there is 2 types of vinyl or dash board products........
the usual or they car wash applications will be the tire shines, slippery & greasy ...the moment yr sleeves pass over..ta da .. dirt & oil transfers to it...this is just a dressing product..given time wear off & offer no protection against heat & sun



as the other would be...megs or leather protectant...gives u a silky finish & not oily
it does not fill holes but protect them, UV protection too....

:burnout:

However my friends want something that protects that doesnt have that 'effect', they cant tahan the feeling HAHA. So thanks again detail sifu :biggrin:.
