Hi All! Its almost chinese new year and many of us would like ourselves and our cars to look good. So my friend asked if I can wax his car, so I accepted it.

But first I have to apologize that I'm not a detailer - im just an ordinary dude who washes and wax my own car, with an ROB. And sadly, I dont exactly did the before and after for each section of the car..still noob haha. Btw, here are the pics

Stain from another car. Managed to remove this but unfortunately i did not take the pic


Rims... brake dust and dirt and tar


Not bad from afar


Door handle...as usual, some random scratches. In photo its not so visible, but in real...omg


Very visible scratch on the side mirror. But luckily it is not very deep, succesfully removed but again, no picture >.<!!!!


Bird shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit !!!!


This was picked up from the roof


Finished product =)


Scratches removed and lightened.


Some reflectionsssss


Clean rims ^^


Hood reflection


Time spent: From 10.00am to 4pm. Lunch at 1pm, had KFC :rofl:
Tired, but satisfied. Thanks for viewing :itsme:

And erm...its not really waxing...i used sealant instead of wax for longer protection. Sorry for the title haha

Product wise use what is comfortable to you. You find it good just use. Clay, I also use PG ones only, but B&D ROB, the one that uses the cloth bonnet, then time to upgrade to BOSCH ROB using those foam pads....

Yes I want to change it too..changing the bonnet is troublesome and it doesn't has variable speed. And the choices of pads are limited. For normal waxing...ok lar at least better than using hands haha

I used to use one something like that, then after was introduced to the BOSCH unit, never looked back. Can do so much more with the different pads and products.
One of my friend bought the B&D also, after he saw my demo on the BOSCH, he also left the B&D aside already....
Not only changing the bonnet troublesome, but like you say can use for waxing and buffing only, use for polishing does not work well.....:banghead:

That is the thing, next when you upgrade to do sanding, you already have the equipment, just need different back plate and some special sandpaper......:rofl:

When one mentions the Toyota 86, the usual suspects of keywords that describe this new rear drive sports coupe will come in the form of “going sideways”, “touge driving” or “great balance”. Those impressions are undeniably true, and the car is truly a sporty baby that has successfully inherited the soul that famed the old AE86. But those are not the only characteristics that made the new 86 as what it...
