Proton Gen2 Club Detailing Clinic in Malaysia!

On April 22nd, 2006 Hypercoat Enterprise will proudly host a detailing clinic for the Proton Gen2 Club here at Auto Detailer.

As usual, we have selected one of the members' car as a show car for this sort of event. The owner of this car had brought this car to the Sepang International F1 Circuit several times. This results in plenty of stonechips and scratches on the paintwork. The following steps had been done to restore the paintwork of this Energy Orange Proton Gen2 to near perfect condition.

M85/W4000/RB
M83/W8006/RB
M80/W8006/RB
M82/W9006/RB
M21/W9006/DA

This event was held successfully today. Would like to say a big thank you to Gen2 Club members for attending this event and showing the interest and enthusiasm towards detailing.

Photos below show the result of the show car after 2 days of extreme makeover.

Making sure the car is detailed...

Mike! It was really fun and educational for such event. I think I should be the one who attends your classes in Irvine. :bow

Slightly different from the past detailing clinics, we have selected one of the members' car for demonstrating proper washing technique.

The car hasn't been washed for months...

Disgusting...

Now, back to this disgusting thing, it was sprayed down with Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner to dissolve the caked on brake dust...

It's important to have clean tyres prior to dressing, just like washing your face before putting on moisturizer...:D

The car was driven out from the washing bay to the detailing bay. It's time for a proper drying with Microfiber Super Suede Drying Towel...

Members were asked to feel the surface bonded contaminants with a plastic wrapper. I guess he was laughing at the owner...:D

Mist Quick Detailer over the surface and clay it...

The owner preferred to show his face via the reflection...;)

We also found out that the windscreen washer nozzle was clogged up with old waxes...
