It was a challenging 2 Sundays. My friend's bang up Perodua Kelisa wanted to see how much difference i could make to the car exterior. It wasn't something to shout about but i was happy with the end results. Started around 1pm and finish well after 10 plus pm on the first Sunday. The car was then continued on the next Sunday with attention on the engine bay for further cleaning.
Started with Tar Remover
Then clayed the whole car (used up 2 bars)
Came the best part.
M86+Twisted Pool Pad 1200rpm (my favorite combo at the moment)
M82+8002 Polishing Pad at 800rpm - 1500rpm

Combination of Meguiars Super Degreaser, Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner and Meguiars Hyper Dressing made a huge different to the engine compartment.
This car was completed over two Sundays due to time constraints.

It took me across 2 Sunday's to complete this job. It was very satisfying and a very enriching learning experience. This are some reflection shots I taken after finishing everything. Whole car was buffed with M86 (Meguairs Cut and Polish Cream) and M82 (Meguairs Swirl Free Polish). Car was then wax with Soft99 Authentic and Soft99 King of Gloss. Enjoy ~
Last but not least , the whole car. Cheers
