Another secret reveal how I brought this ZERO to HEROpics before began .....
you are about to witness in history for what took place, which was never reveal to you before.
I do not know whether should this be in our history or national detailing archive ............
Let me warn you before hand what you are gonna to see, will change your perspective of believe or not......PG-18, and luckily not R rated
Some of you remembered, back in Feb, during the Chinese new year week beak (holiday) i went back to my in laws house for reunion, all i remember was a couple of dinners & rest...of it never stayed in my MIND (perhaps I have be ERASED by the eraser - Arnold S)
that 7 days (seven ) I detail & corrected 6 cars.. everything involve Makita Rotary Machines & compound & polisher products..so this is not a magic nor another monkey tales Car detailer: 21 February 2010
if i were to gauge this, probably this is the most elaborate detail among the rest i did in that week.. i dont have the lambo nor another aston...but simply a DD (daily drive car)
a wreck car....to a show room condition
without further delays let me bring you thru....what i went thru the fires like hell to get this detail:- (pls pardon me of use of certain words i do not mean to provoke nor sound un ethically, as it is only the feelng i am feeling now even as i write)
You know this year has been extremely hot (close to 38 degree celcius which the average was 36) & quite a dry spell
as eraly as 7 in the morning, went out to bring this 14 years Honda CRV back, this is was one of the SUV everyone wil eye on during that era, probably car theft would also like - as it was very demanding)
but now, like any other Herbie...story....a sight miss turn..a loose nut that cos the engine leak & failed....trun this into quit a junk yard situation
not too bad...the paint look abit dull
ANOTHER IDIOTIC VANDALISM
this is probably sign by 'the mask of Zoro' with a sharp & pointy objects, which cuts through paint
annotation
in Malaysia - there is such a thing called "teach you a lesson" where the robin-hood of the street will give u scratched on your paint if you unintentionally obstructing others or some may even do it out of jealousy (or revenge as they have got it from others) this irresponsible Hooligans who's itchy hand will not sleep till they scratched some body cars.
You dont know how heart sick to see this on your own ride (speak as one of the victim)
since the condition is so bad...lets send the car to road side washed ( thanks to the cheap & good labored contributed more to this paint)
read more hereHonda CR-V - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Honda CR-V is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by the Japanese company Honda since 1996. It was loosely derived from the Honda Civic to satisfy a public demand for a sport-utility vehicle from Honda
NOW would you buy this at a premium?? no body would like to eventake a look anymore
unless something is done about it
DOOMED & MUST SENT FOR REPAINTING..........only new coat of paint ...only if i knew how to repaint ...only i knew not to park & get scratched by some irresponsible Hooligans who's itchy hand will not scratched my ride
only if i KNEW ( this is a very power consolations)
MY DEFINITIONS NOW is to get her corrected & detail to this
this is one of the after pic
more damaging pics
more heart sick
more abused pictures
just simply more pics that invites butterflies into your stomach
by this time...i was already singing
"amazing grace...how sweet the sound that saves a wretched like me.........................''
does this look lost enough
My uncles in law, always wanted a SUV, got a relative, who happend to drive this in KL city (2 years ago when they got this) you know the rest of the story...vandalism
they have decided to send this to repainted but somehoe it was delayed
till i found her
dont she fel like herbie when she is down & out
clay began ONR as lube...diluting 2 ounces with 500 ml of water & sprayed for more lube
my intervention plan
Osren Multi purpose cleaner with assorted brushes to cleans emblem & hard stained area
Optimun no rinse was as Lube with mild clay
Quick wipe down with ONR rinseless wash & 2 micro fibers to dry
Paint correction - Megs 105 with double sided LC wool on rotary start
speed 600 to spread, 1700 with gradual movement & speed (repeated on some severely scratched area
then step down to
Rotary with Lake country Yellow colour cutting foam for removing swirls & Random Deep isolated scratches (RIDs) with Meguiars M 205 SMAT polish ....speed 600 to spread, 1400 with gradual movement & speed , finishing off at 1400 with moderate movement
paint polishing - rotary & Lake country polishing foam pad at speed 600 to spread the products & Speed 1000 move moderately with pressure & backing off to speed 600 with light feathering off
Protections -
i only got nxt 2.0 -
strengthen with M135 ( UQD for non- detailer)
THIS IS A TRADE SECRET..........I hope you understand why do you need to pay so much to get a car detail
after a apc washed -
followed by Optimum ONR No rinse wash wash & clay at the same time
all plastic trim is wrap by news paper....as i did not expect such a heavy correction work...to prevent compound / olish splattered & stained any plastic or rubber trims
wracked side steps
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BEFORE -
AFTER
after interior MPC brush off & detail by gold class
HOPE is a POWERFUL WORD....esp to a detailer
BEFORE
something can be done
Head light oxidized & many workshop would asked you to change
after sanding down - M105 & followed by M 205
PREP BEGAN
1st 50/50% SET
50/50%
50/50%
ANOTHER 50/50 AREA SET FRONT FENDER
50/50%
50/50%
al oxidation removed
but some RIDS & cut need additional passes to bring the level down
ta da
REMEMBER BEFORE
Now AFTER M105 & M205
DOOR HANDLE AREA BEFORE
now..better than new
FRONT BONNET 50 /50
ROOF 50/50%
BEFORE RIGHT TOP OF SIDE FENDER BETWEEN HOOD
BEFORE
AFTER m105
after m 205 & complete restorations
some pics
JUST BEFORE RUBBER HITs THE ROAD AGAIN
remember before
paint look so dull & unattractive
if this ride where to send for repainting
the rest would not be of value to both the viewer & detailer
NOW THE LEFT SIDE RESTORED DETAIL
remember
AFTER REAR BONNET
remember the mask of zoro?
before
AFTER FRONT LEFT PANEL
do u remember the story of a frog who managed to jump up to the high throne & crown the KING in his kingdom
there was a challenge for the frog nation to find the next king....any forgs that managed to jump double the height & land on the thrones should crown as the next king & everyone jumps & failed & try & out
but then came a hard core frog & jumps...he reached
later he was interviewed, the reporter felt very upset, cos the Newly crown KING refuse to speak, later to all surprise, he was deaf...cos the rest of the frog tells each other there is no way you can reach & all belive
NOW the moral of the story & this detailing post ...is
it takes a deaf frog to succeed...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
thanks for viewing yet another of my detailing tales & i thank you for walking thru with me & I hope all my post will strengthen your detailing knowledge & equipe to face your quest

Another AWESOME save by KC's. And I love your write-ups! They are so fun to read. I see how much hard work you put into that car, and I can really appreciate your skills. The car looks wonderful now!

Incredible job. That paint now looks like it has been well cared for and never parked outside since new. I'm amazed that you were able to remove all the keyed marks.
If they catch the person that vandalized the car is your country the one that sentences them to be caned? I bet that would cut down on the teenage punks keying cars in this country too.

Whoa...KC bro...really admire your talent and determination. Really great job and well done!
That CRV now even looks better than my 5 years old family car  Guess is not that easy to polish a car by adjusting the rotary speed and so on. Would love to get one and try out according to your instructions on the speed. Do post up when you are having a detailing class. Have adi missed previous ones.

06-09-2010, 06:08 AMWow.
I look through these Pro details every single day, and I see a lot of excellent work being done by a lot of folks here. But, rarely do you see REAL paint damage like this. There is a difference between car wash brush swirls and having your vehicle vandalized with a key or rock or something.
That is a supreme job KC !! I would not hesitate to take my daily driver to you anyday.... Because your vehicle deserves it tooPost Thanks / Like - 0 Likes, 0 Thanks, 0 Dislikes
