What does it takes for you to be called a man?
Male by birth, man by choice
When the Almighty creates man, He make him to be adventure, ambitious, dare to take chances or risk, one who protect his family & provides......they get easily attracted with visual & Audio.....Fast cars & highway way
and how entrepreneur taking advantages of it by creating so called the adventure branding of "Camel Trophy" ...Malboro man in 70's -80's....
recently I watch the movie 127 Hours ( a biography film) As gut-wrenching as it is inspirational,
Cerita berdasarkan kisah benar tentang seorang pendaki gunung yang bernama Aron Ralston potong tangan
My tribute - My hero ' who got to do what he got to do" & he did it'

so much so he believe " i can do wonders" he still think i am a superman....

front bonnet
Didnt had the time to post up this...the detail was done 7 months ago, a month earlier during Christmas I had a slipped while washing my car, wearing a worn out crocs sandal, my whole body landed on my elbow (the impact nearly cause me a black out - although some stars appeared) without much of after care, I continue to detail & golfing & detail (when i felt the pain in between - i consulted more than 1/2 dozens GP) taken a significant anti inflammatory pill (AKA - pain killers) ...so much so was wrongly diagnosed as a muscle pull , where i actually got a ligament tears( only found out 5 months later) what from a acute now became chronic)
How my pain was suppressed, and 40 days later, much to my ignorant ( i barely able to lift up even a lap top with my right arm, where i use to swing the Makita rotary (8Kg) like a piece of cake.....so severe, till i had to go to Gleneagle hospital at midnight, as my right arms cant even drive or carry my baby) the pain was so unbearable
I got panic for the 1st time, thinking what will it be - IF.....??????? IF???? this & that....I was not so worried of losing my arm, or can i carry my baby again... but can i detail again....what if I can detail again
"i always believe all thing happen for a good reason, The reason of rest, recuperates & get restores"
Although after another month of resting or so, I did couple of hands on Detailing clinic & did a couple of cars as well- finally heals.
background
I was suffering from a torn ligament & I did this 13 hours detail all by myself (many a times I wanted to call it quit
so painful, till I had to use an elbow guard stripes to act a a tourniquet to relieve the ligament pressure at my elbow.
So much so I had to use my left hand to hold my right to finish the detail) esp Makita. Mind you I thought I was gonna to loose my arm in this detail

swirls & water marks

please bear in mind you only have 6th/part of an inche of clear coat paint on your car ( as thick as a cigarette plastic wrapper of clear coat) should you allow - the hands of untrained person to remove only 50% of that (your coat is ENDANGERED)
STOP THIS CYCLE - BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, pls dont just listen to hear say & who whos & what what claims
many does it for $$$ but the true owner does it for passion
therefore , there is no point of restoring the car, should the new onwer continues to let the car wash & thrashed by the road side car wash aka detailer)
for it takes a cobbler to know his tools
right tool for the right job is important
eg on this tight & narrow area
