Another time Festive celebrations - means lot of preparations AKA lot of hard work - of sweat



Spring cleaning time – upon arrival of my buddy ride, he explained that he has been sending this 2 years ride to be detail every time when there is a festive season –( once yearly????)...but is it necessarily for the car paint to be polish & corrected every time - will our clear coat 2 mil of an micron last with stand against these harshness ???? wrong hands

I questions why there is the need of paint correction every year –
He reply “ I thought it is necessarily, just like spring cleaning !!!!!! I say “What”!!!!!




Great looking black stallion

far away look


eh...some stains from yesterday rain


But closer look


rainy season la



wow.. the stains mark - def at the speed he is driving


this is the most contaminated area - dirt grime & dust pick up


3 micro fiber wash


begins


Lesson begins - DIY please - things can be done within our means
clay


this is what we picked


contamination - such as Dirt, Grime, tars, acid rains, brake dust & Insect Deposits - on the paint above surface


Dirt, Grime & Insect Deposits


look at how ONR traps changes the water behaviour & tensions to hold up these dirt sands & dust beneath -



such contaminant will definitely hurt yr paint

++++++++++ Moving on to the wheels cleaning - the most important area to clean +++++++++
where contaminations create from here


ta da


before


ta da


just a quick wash aka wipe with ONR - most owners or detailer would like an instant gratifications - so harsh chemicals or acids use to create this transformations but after a prolong time - our wheels clear coat begin to chips & peels
what we need is just a quick effective wash to remove these dust
if u do have some tar stains - try claying them

as for me i usually use the balance ONR solution with a separate MF to wash these contaminated ares



tire cleanning


OPT neat use


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++stains cleanning

Petrol cap area


my favourite tools - soft bristle brushes (RM 8 - aka USD 2.50) & OPT Power clean - diluted in 1:5


_++++++++++++++++++ paint condition

I questions why there is the need of paint correction every year – He reply “ I thought it is necessarily !!!!!! I say “What”!!!!!


He has not been with his ride while the correction is being done for the past 2 times but this time different story , as I want him to knowe what is the damage & how to restore it

so do i use an slr or semi pro camera
nope all of my pics uses a RM 300 camera - when a well correct & detail car - details is redefine again

of such


to


now it is ready



my buddy has not seen his paint in these condition in fact after detail twice


as most of these detailer - asked him to be excuse - where I invite him to witness the whole proses



what we did was
ONR wash - 3 micro fibers

clay with oNR as lube (2 ounces in 500 ML)

wheels Onr wash

tire - OPC & brushes

OPC dilutes 1 :5 water for external cleanning


Paint correction

Megs M 105 wit double sided LC wool X 2 passes - spread speed 1 & polish at speed 3 - 2nd pass with ONR as lube – to rework again

Megs M 105 with LC cutting pad X 2 passes with ONR sprayed as Qd lube - gently & slowly to correct this soft paint

M80 polishing with Megs W8027 polishing pads X 2 passes - spread speed 1 & polish at speed 3 - 2nd pass with ONR as lube – to rework again

finishing M 80 with LC finishing pads – blue X 2 passes - spread speed 1 & polish at speed 3 - 2nd pass with ONR as lube – to rework again

lastly protected by Opti seal (3-4 times yearly) a bottle will last 4 applications & 10 years

strengthen with - Optimum Car wax in 10 minutes\\\so simple tht we can do it regularly without effort
Megs


Before he left I gave him a bottle of ONr + 3 plushy microfibers

handling him back the baton to care for his own car

no more excuse - no more road side as well

EMPOWERING OTHERS -

look again - carefully

the truth is
