Last week my business card printer gave me a call and set an appointment for a detailing job to be done to her daily ride.

So i went down, diagnose the car and set the appointment date.

The day came, and this time i started abit late.

Today's prescription,
ONR NO Rinse wash
Meg's Gold Class wash
PG's detailing Claybar
Meg's M105 cutting compound
Optimum Hyper polish
Optimum quick wax
Optimum power clean
Meg's Ultimate quick detailer
Tools:
LC's yellow cutting pad
LC's white polishing pad
Brushes, and lots of MF towels

In Malaysia, it is a very common trend that when you purchase a 2nd hand used car, the car dealers normally respray a coat of clear coat to make the car paint look "New" overtime, rain, acid rain, sun, and not good paint jobs, the paint started to bubble up and eventually....pops and there u have, a brand new hole on ur front hood.

tadaaaa free hole from mother nature and a irresponsible shortcut car dealer


not only the dealers is responsible for these kind of damage...the owner also doesnt take care of the car...
dear car, how would u like some...."tree sap"


overview of a washed car...


over here in malaysia, we have rm4 washes, or USD1.50 washes which they spray acid onto rims to clean the brake dust... in result..


After...



unknown stain...



without ONR no rinse wash, with Meg's gold class wash


now swirls all over the car like spider webs..





Then i started with M105 with 3 puff of ONR 1:8 as some moisturizing as the weather was very dry...

i found out this technique gives me abit more working time and does not affect the performance of the M105 cutting compound..

before..

After...



sheer clarify from beige paint

no more swirls


amazingly i just did a 1 pass on yellow cutting pad with M105 and all was almost flawless!

before if u remember there is a tree sap strain...
now...

how i did it?
1500grid sand paper, hand buff off with M105 then 1 pass with LC yellow cutting pad. tadaaaa magic!

swirls on the taillights...


regain gloss


then after fully compounding the car, i moved to polishing and wax and uqd. wipe n walk away
some particular shots of damages cleareed.




now here we go, beige reflection!:love:





curvesssss



here ends my work...
artistics shots before i close.
