New car delivery collection - abuse but restores by Malaysia Detailing Guru KC

New Car collection !!! whacked by the dealer!! Malaysia car detailing guru correction

My buddy has been preparing& welcoming his new baby.... a black princess

Doing alot of goggling & detailing research...I specifically asked him to pick up this ride under a bright noon day sun.....

but due to his busy schedule.....he only managed to pick it at 11pm & by them time he reach home, just prior giving this baby a new shower....under his porch lamp......he discovered ...

lots of micro Marring & thousands of fine scratches all over the car....But how can it be ?


Obviously he is furious how can a new ride became like this. he take some sun light shot




wow.....what are you seeing now


another discovery....holograms marks like buffing trials left on the car?????? why on a new ride??



back bonnet



WWYD??




another evidence

residue of previous detail AKA polish wax


what will you do??

what can he do????
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++



many would have accepted this as fate...but for one who has done a slightly more google of have join a detailing clinic would know.....



what happen ? this new ride actually passes through lots of hands & in the processes of delivery....I happen to find water spots on the glass & paint - obviously it is left park at open area...where dirts & contaminants. washes after washes through different distribution dealers & sub show room ....adds more fine scratches on the paint...



this damages is done by some irresponsible detailer or car wash guys..

    Another reason why you order a car still in the plastic
    less work for you to correct when you get home
    order car
    car arrive on truck
    car stays in plastic
    go to pick up car
    car is unwrapped in front of you
    you inspect
    you approve
    drive home
    DETAIL

    Great turn around on that car

    Nice write-up, KC.
    thanks greg0303 for your kind words...you are absolutely right...but sad to hear many detailers in UK dont belive that factory baked paint is still the best...

    Wow, what a great turnaround KC.

    That was actually a great paint job after you were finished with it. The lack of orange peel for a factory paint job is impressive!

    Nice save KC! They marred up the paint so badly it looked grayish in the light of some of those pictures.
