I am fearfully & wonderfully make
how to keep the white car white?
it is a common challenge to keep our clean & looks cool....but it is also rather hard to achieve it...ended up....we let other help us to do it....
the best that we can ever do for our car take ownership......
good looking ride - just slightly 2 months old
my buddy actually calls ask me to help him to preps & protect this new investment
great looking ! clean ! detail??? especially under bright sun light - nothing will hide - so much so if you are trying to find swirls on a white car under the sun will eventually blind your sight...for those of you had -
i remember i did an E60 white & shot some pic under the sun, just before i sleep my eyes blink blink - comes watery - too much sun light entered into my retina - be careful !!! use proper shade or old negative to cut the glare of your camera view finder & proper sun glasses
cant complaint much!!
lets move in - closer & nearer -
scratches - from parking curb - i guess
more scratches
ehhhh....dirty car....any underlying issue?? will soon check it out...on the plastic bumper
unwashed wheels & brake dust
ehhhh...swirls???
closer look...on the engine hood
excuse the glare -
but is there a deeper issue?? - lets find out together
more
close up
imagine
the amount of scratches & swirls found on these plastic - is also found on the ride as well
eg last rear 1/4 area next to the brake light
door panel -
close up

close up
some really deep scratches swirls - but only a 2 months odd car??????
lots of works!!!
the heart of the ride
the inductor
plenty of water spots - esp on the windows
unwashed wheels
close up
washing begins with OPC - 1:5 part dilutions & wheel brushes for hard to reach area
useful esp - wheels area
now the wheels cleaning begins
before
closer
tada
now
moving on
petrol cap area
side steps
door jams area
opc work great for removing grease stains
side skirt before
after wash - close up
more - tars stains - tiny little splints like in our skins- can be quite an irritant
some found at the front bumper
rear lower bumper on the white car
STEP 2 - paint preps begins
and i actually took 2 hours to clay them off
eg
tars spots on the left wheel arch area
ONR sprayed on as clay lubricants
clay on
gone off
more stains & tar collected-
remember to check prior moving to the next area
stains found on the emblem
imagine is just a 2 months old ride
lets clay them off
ta da
now you see - before
now you dont
more hidden stain beneath the rear windows
lets do the clay
side window water stains
after clayed
needn't to use force - as some road side car wash would use aggressive acidic cleaners & scrubs with force
eg
tars stain beneath the rear bumper
ta da
just clay with ONR as lube
before
ta da
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ moving on paint correction ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +
step 3
paint condition - side door area

5 hours just gone & for the next 20 hours (over the spans on 2 days) - major paint correction work being carried with great care & meticulously detail before opti coating it for good
it was too much a correction to be done till - i had no time to snap any after pics
only a few after pics
paint before - water spots

STEP 4 - opti coating for maximum protection against threats esp acid rains

What I did was
STEP 1 - wash - OPC 1 : 5 dilutions with brushes for all windows & stains area
STEP 2 - preps - CLAY with Onr as lubrications - removing tar spots & stains at the hard to reach area. ONR wash after claying
STEP 3 - Paint Corrections - Start off with Osren Velvet pad - Optimum Hyper spray compound ( 3 puff on the pad - speed 1 to spread - speed 3 - 3.5 to level out the paint -)
followed by LC double sided wool pad with Optimum Hyper spray compound ( 3 puff on the pad - speed 1 to spread - speed 3 to level out the paint -)
followed by LC Cutting foam pad with Optimum Hyper spray compound ( 3 puff on the pad - speed 1 to spread -gradually increase to speed 3 )
polish with Megs Polish pad with Optimum Hyper spray Polish ( 3 puff on the pad - speed 1 to spread - gradually increase to speed 2 & finish off at speed 1)
polish with LC Glazing pad with Optimum Hyper spray Polish ( 3 puff on the pad - speed 1 to spread - gradually increase to speed 2 & finish off at speed 1)
STEP 4 - Protection - Optimum Protection with Optimum Coating for good ( say bye bye to wax)
STEP 5 - need to be maintain by the owner - a weekly wash ( not road side wash again)
You can make a different ....... there is a real story
one day that there is a man who like to stroll on the beach prior going to work & he saw a young man like dancing, as he approach he saw this little young boy, throwing back the star fish into the sea - he ask there are miles & mile of star fish on the shores - its foolish of you to waste your time pick them up - you cant saves them all...this young man came back & pick up & throw another start fish into the sea & replied "for that star fish - i make a different"
it is always impossible to reach the world - even all the car owners in our country - but for this - i make the diffrent
thanks again for taking your precious time to view

 Great work KC. Technically the most extreme acid rain occurs on brown dwarfs, which are failed suns that burn at an incredibly hot temperature (about 5k degrees). This causes vaporized iron to rise in the atmosphere, where it solidifies into iron oxide then is pulled back to the surface at over 200 mph (due to the extreme gravity)... __________________ Todd Helme Detailing Training and Education properautocare.com |

| Great results. Acid rain is definitely no fun. |

| Senior Member  Location: Rochester, MI | Re: Most extreme acid rain - water spots removal on a brand new peugeot- privilege detailing by KC Great job, KC!! But this has to be one of the newest cars I have seen you do, and you still took it to the next level!!! I cannot think of a better LSP for Malaysia than Opti-Coat. "one day that there is a man who like to stroll on the beach prior going to work & he saw a young man like dancing, as he approach he saw this little young boy, throwing back the star fish into the sea - he ask there are miles & mile of star fish on the shores - its foolish of you to waste your time pick them up - you cant saves them all...this young man came back & pick up & throw another start fish into the sea & replied "for that star fish - i make a different". This is so true! Sometimes I feel like the man, other times I feel like the child, in my personal life. Thanks for sharing! __________________  Local to Southeast Michigan Serving Nationwide |
