I got to know him, through one of my public detailing session & he contacted me to him detail her.

Upon meeting up & viewing the car at night, without much street light....only with my little torch light, i discover patches of paint ..on the front engine hood. almost covered 1/3 of the right hood, only found out after his 1st wash & without realizing during the delivery time, he already complaint to the car sales man (of this defects) & he actually drove this to Megs detailing centre (they even did some wet sanding to demo to the owner) but not complete restore
what happen was ...the hood was repainted that quaterly & the car sales claims that it was some overspray......OVER SPRAY WHAT????? some paint flew from the car besides???? make no sense

so last sunday, he came over to my place & since another forumer called me ( i invited him along & gave both some private detailing lesson)

obvious paint defects with some underlining issue




patches of stains only on the repainted area

rear bonnet stains...on this bright bumper bee



after wash, defects seems to be clearer



Before wash – look carefully on the scratches, lines & stains



Agitate with Optimum power clean 50/50 % comparison area , as u can see the upper hood is sprayed and showing cleaner than the bottom hood

Agitating with Power clean - most fine scratches & stain disappear but……………….not completely gone lesser effects

Although- most fine scratches & stain disappear but……………….
After wash look good but it resurfaces again


birthday cake - every body got a share

clay time is a happy time




Once this is wash, I showed both of them how to clay. I went to check out the windows & glasses, discover a lot of water stains, knowing my friend constant going out station & extensive traveling, I decided to correct the windows














Remember the paint defects, 1/3 of the hood was resprayed before & the car salesman denied, where another detailing centre wet sanded on it….to my amazement, I discover that defect areas has stains & scratches too….





while both of them claying. I went to check out the windows & glasses, discover a lot of water stains, knowing my friend constant going out station & extensive traveling, I decided to correct the windows

Simple test, use a damp cloth & wipe over, if it leave a film of stains & has no clarity…it will definite stains your vision while particularly driving in the rain & at night. Taping off all windows rubber seals & plastic trims …
