Opti coat lexus by detailien




what damages car paint? Clear coat threat ?

what creates swirls? what are the sign of your clear coat damages?

swirls


always from improper way of washing (how it is being handled)


what you cant see you wouldnt know

and usually what you wouldnt know it dont exist

I had to attend to 2 urgent call over last weekend - both are critical - one whom got water proofing residue stain the back of the car & another severely Clear coat damaged...both requires more than 10 hours each ....

read on......

my buddy whom likes his ride to be clean & mint condition ...so the cheapest way is to engage a bicycle detailer...one whom wash your ride -whether rain or sun daily...in the same bucket




under 300 watt halogen light inspection


how to wash your car?
where should we begin?

the highly contaminated place


years of dirt, brake dust accumulated?


after alien juices sprayed - aggitate with detailing brushes


be more gentle to your wheel...needn't to be treated harshly by some aggressive & corrosive cleaner like Degreaser or Super strength degreaser, acidic base wheels cleaner or some acids (as it is commonly use here)

petrol cap area



agitate with alien juice


then just brush it away


highly not well paid area

but it is always fun & encouraging to see how this rag can be transformed to riches

years of mud slud & dirt accumulated
but is easy when you know how


again



ta da



after clayed


the real deal for the day


more




this ride is daily cleaned / so car wash - none other than one bucket - thats is the Bicycle mobile detailer

one cloth and one towel wash 50 over cars aday in a single bucket of water stored at the back of the bicycle
tada
before


close up check again


before


now


tada


look again at the before


now


moving to the front passenger door


after


before
close up


after



how paint can be restores
before corrected


before far away


before near shots


after paint corrected



moving on another site


ta da - a pic of 50/50% before & after paint corrected


For those that has been in my car detailing workshop or hands on session you would know how to do it yourself

or read on here http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforu...ense-clas.html

as it took me
12 hours to bring
this


to this



thanks for the consistent & hard working indian on wheel wash (bicycle detailer)


after OHSC + OPT single sided wool
follow with OHSP with + Polishing foam pad
tada

what before

remember what you can see doesn't mean it is not found there!!!! prevention is always better than cure

the illusionist
pls pay extra attention

turning this

Not to be fooled - my hand shake during the shots

from this

not to be fooled again by the first pic, polish residue not wipe away


ladies and gentleman - boys & gals

leaving him the skill & proper washing techniques & tools

Bro Iszo, budget is not just buying rotary... also need to save up for the products (OHC/OHP) and pads (double sided wool/foam), big investment but can take you very far if you have them... trust me it is not all about the rotary and paint correction. KC does give an in depth class about the knowledge of paint, inspection, evaluation, cleaning and protection which is what most of us need and should do most of the time.

Before I met KC, my new car has some swirls, orange peel, etc and thought of want to correct it. After meeting KC, I decided not to correct it yet but maintain the paintwork the best I can with the right techniques, products, etc. To correct paint, need to sacrifice a layer of your clear coat in order to level out the defects. So you can only do so much. Sifu KC invite you for his class... better take opportunity.

how with a bicyle, ONE cloth & 2 bucket system - he will travel to detail


Connotation
labor of such service only Cost USD 10 permonth (where you get your DD wash everyday, looking blink blink) to be paid monthly (rain or shine this mobile detailer will come)

2 irresistible offer
cheap service & complacency (why sweat over USD 10) truly ignorant owners

I always take this serious & passionately

... as in my previous experience in counselling abused youth (it will not be a laughing matter)

sad sad to see the ignorant & the complacent

as cars is the 2nd most expensive investment after house

why should we not, govern our wealth in the right manner

Thanks for your kind words again

The only mistake with that car is when you put a 4 cylinder in a car that is made for a 6. But overall it looks fantastic.

I always get a kick out of seeing your turnarounds KC's

I am really impressed with how Hyper-Polish finished out after Hyper-Compound on wool. Very nice.

Great job!! Gotta love a flawless black car. I assume you've told him to stop using his prior detailer.

I just received the Opti Spray products and am looking forward to trying them out.
