giving the most express wash in the world - ONR no rinse wash with 3 microfibers
stains below the hood
engine before
we started out TT very late & only have 2 hours plus
so what we cover
Basic car wash _ the most important of car detailing - begin with a humble wash
Proceed to clay (ONR 2 ounce dilutes in 500ml water) as lubrications the least aggressive but most effective (cost saving & good ROI) - it also prolong yr clay life spent , as most shampoo degrades & break it...
Moving on engine - spot cleaning - (optimum power cleaner) the far most better cleaner i ever use - so strong that can use as degreaser but so gentle can be diluted & safe for car paint & leather (safe for clear coat) i like to dilute 1:5 for engines & 1:8 for interior & leather cleaning
Paint correction - product comparison (between OTC & professional range)
*
Started with consumer product - OTC
proceed to Polish - Optimum hyper spray polish & M205
proceed to compound - Megs 105
*part 2 (advance level)
Wet sanding - levelling paint coat
ending with - LSP (protection)
10 minutes optiseal ( a prefect bonding & protection )5 minutes car wax by OCWax
ended past midnight
after Optimum power clean - dilution 1:5 parts water ( we are only going to do a spot cleaning test)
after opc wash & onr rinse

ta da - no more tears - johnson baby shampoo - aka no more stains
the owner actualy own all the above car, except for the first 2 shot at my stay in Hilton sarawak
initially
he say - do what you want - as i have order a Carbon fiber hood - but after correction - he change his mind
lets read on to find out why?
moving on to paint correction
did you notic e some thing strange of the paint
go in & zoom in
Pigmentation - most common cause - the root problem- where when the ride is repainted - there was no proper putty & sanded down carefully ( what happen when you ask for a rush job, where the putty is not 100% cured - pigment of such resurface once it is cured
another Paint defect
3 areas set for 3 range of product to be tried on
look closer
at your right side polish by OTC product - pigmentation still visible
before
a 50/50% test review - after compounding by wool & megs105
better but very slight significant
moving to advance level - paint correction & levelling
sanded with 1500 grits onr as lube & continue with 2000 grit
a well sanded level
before & after sanded - close up
well sanded
another shots
now can you see the different pads & wool can do
lower is compounded with LC polishing pads - visible wet sanded marks visible
after compound & before
upper is compounded with wool - more aggressive & finishing well
ta da
Now comparison results reveal
after consumer
after professional range
moving on to left side paint levelling by wet sanding
hands on begins

2nd night - the restoration journey of a wounded soul
another neglected abuse ride -
close up - this ride has not been washed for a long time & constantly thrashed & whacked by the road side car wash
begins with ONR wash - 50/50% comparison
look at the amount of swirls & Rids on this ride
after
before pic
tad a a 50/50% swirls surface out
day 2 hands on begins - as they have been trained & now the practical test
Contaminations picked up clay -
paint issue - damages on this coat - pay attention - hunt for swirls & rids & hologram
now the test continue, I am standing back to let him decide what contestant no 1 choose - applying wax with rotary (1500 rpm)??????Sound like road side detailer
BTW so far i have not seen any wax back label that recommended to use rotary at 1500 rpm, but why so many still allows the road side car polish whacked their ride
before pics
waxing polish in progress
4 area set bottom right - wax with rotary
top right - polish by consumer products
top left - compound by cutting pad
bottom left - compound by wool, cutting pad & polishing pad
the wax part - not bad - depth is good, but scratches is still visible (buy 1 free 1) now holograms just inflicted
polish by polish pad OTC - good depth but deep scratches is still visible _ swirls not remove
cutting pad with compound - most swirls decreased but micro marring inflicted - visible
and we finally finish with
compound with wool then with cutting pad then polish pad then finish with finishing pad

Nice write up, and beautiful location, but what's up with polishing in the dark? That must have been difficult to say the least.

 Great documentation of what looked like a wonderful trip. You are doing a great job of expanding the awareness of proper detailing techniques to a region that is literally half a world away from us here in North America.    |

 | Re: Car Detailing hands on session with KC (advance level paint correction) Wow those first pictures of the landscape were stunning. Beautiful country. Really nice job on the cars as well! I've never seen that pigmentation stuff before, nice job removing it! Also, it looks like a Galant VR4 to me. Not sure though. |

| | Re: Car Detailing hands on session with KC (advance level paint correction) KC, I love seeing your work. A real inspiration. I notice you use Optimum Spray Compound and Polish with great results. I plan on getting some as soon as warmer weather gets here. I've read where other people have had trouble with their sprayer getting stopped up and breaking. My question is how do you keep yours working properly? Is there a secret you can share with us? |
