How to protect your ultimate asset - a complete paint protection study by KC

How do you gauge a person is car crazy or not?
Answer
1. Spend his time looking at his ride more than anyone else

2. Clean her more than any other chores at home

3. Willingly spend his fortune on lavished her, time & effort worth everything

4. Called his ride by name

I share something of my passion to many & of which this one particularly captivated my heart & soul of detailing

remember this familiar ride.... 21 years of oxidized paint that was doomed for repainting even professional body shop says is beyond detailing correction


my 1st attempts (12 months ago)

Nissan 2face, that what I called her….i may not have the luxury looking ride or paint but it has been always my passion to detail & to maintained what I have restores.

My paint on one side of the car is 21 years old of age & another restores last year & regularly maintained by bi monthly waxes & 6 months polish, as it is a non clear coated car (AKA single stage paint). Constantly facing the aging issue

A good classic examples…would be…our house gates & grills….as it need to be painted yearly, otherwise the paint become dulls & oxidized

The solution…a double stage paint was created to protect this aging process….clear coat paint……I may not have the luxury again to repaint my car…..but fortunate to have a special coating flown in special from US manufacture….AKA Alien coating


This is my thesis done….studying on my car

Paint defect correction…etched marked caused by prolong neglected birds dropping

paint etched by this acidic droppings threat & wet sanded to level up & compound off

I thank God for His mercies, otherwise i may have lost my limb

last sat was crazy sat where we did a detailling workshop in the morning till 3 pm

& had another call from a friend who just got his E 90 & wanted me to detail interior..specially on the leather

I ask Seech to tag along & we started from 5 till late 10 pm

half way thru compounding....i was getting tired & in a split second...some how i was caught off guard...the foam pad & spindle caught my left sleeves & rolling up my sleeves & it got tangled up with my sleeves all the way... ...Thank God it is only at speed one & i tried to pull it off & away
but vanity failed...Seech got a greater shock where he see me in a distant...struggles to pull off & that few second..everything just went head wire... Suddenly somehow there was a Divine intervention..the machine some how stop...................I quickly took of my shirt & my arm was burn by that impact.....wash my wound & round up my compounding....
