Remember how this horse was prepare for his knight
Correction title should be spelled as Nürburgring
5 months ago I was asked to detail this beautiful German Marque ....
with the limitation of time .........a month months later.. ...i did a lighting speed interior detailing the interior & hood area....
to read more
sorry Bud let you waited 5 months ya......u know the reason for this season
most commonly problem any Germans ride face here.....my buddy thought Malaysia is too hot...so hot till our weather melts the knobs ....
Most probably you don't find in any other car maker ...as they are not rubberised
this is a very common known issue in other German Marque Machine ....esp in E60s, E90s...many many many more...it is build for 4 season climate ...perhaps tropic is too hot
ta da
It is only clean with Power clean & microfibers !!!! Many refuted my claims of this de-rubberised detailing - makes no sense & got the wrong picture after :-
knobs are misleading... you took a picture of the left one for before and then the right for after.....they were in two different conditions... you can see that on the picture when you see both...
I'm just curious how u restored the rubberised a/cond knob in the 997. The before and after pics don't tally, the bad one is on driver's side...show us that one after u rescue it, not the one on passenger side
when i showed this to the the owner ''We have a good crazy laugh"...why people are so curious & doubtful
before
Now
close up shot
5 months later on the left knob - still remains
The car is made of lighter materials that means less energy is used.......and with the amount of curves as well
good looking from far away shot.....
but close up & under sunlight...ta da
our hidden enemy is being revealed
SWIRLS
SWIRLS mostly is created....by homo sapient rather than mother nature or environmental treats
many caused by the cloths we use to wash & dry / techniques of strokes - material make off & worn out cloths (microfibers alike)
Swirls too on the D pillar
front 1/4 panel (Clear bra - vinyly wrapping alike to protect against stone chips)
[img]
[/img]this pics was taken 5 months ago prior clear bra removed - visible swirls
the owner decided to unwrapped his present - otherwise it is like driving an unwrapped present around...
more visible clear bra wrapping
now the hidden swirls shown once this clear bra remove
my buddy told me , the moment this clear bra was removed - the swirls already pre- existed
more swirls found now
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
pic before bath & lots of wax & polish residue found
on the emblem area
plus the clear bra - residues , left an uneven paint on the coat
more residue of paint unevenness -left after the bra removed
hidden wax residue on the d pillar - open sesame
We clayed most of it , lube with ONR No rinse wash & power clean out the residue
over 2 man hours just on the roof lining rubber - cleaning the tedious area
More residues - means more head ache - another hour over just to clean & polish with a special tool called "cotton bud" M105 & M205 was use for this job
took us over an hours to get the residues & stains out of it
after
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
moving to wheels cleaning
the least aggressive & effect way cleaning - thanks to ONR
callipers
premixes ONR sprayed
clay
Question ?
Is there such a need to used Acids wheels cleaners or harsh degreaser to clean? which may endangered & chances of damaging our expensive - most of the wheel is painted & clear coated as well....
as for me i did by ONR wipe on & wipe off & walk away
brushing hard to reach area
PAINT CORRECTION :-
after a good good bath
moving on to Paint correction
but what is there to correct....Many would say "what's wrong & what is the need of car detailing ?????? - as the car look great & have nice reflection
lets take a closer look
under proper lighting - i imitated the sunlight by this halogen flood light
side wheel arch area
scratches
around here & there & every where
a long scratch got it from a side parking near the bushes next to a thorny plant bouganvilla
more scratches by bouganvilla
more
tar remover which remove the paint as well -

moving on to the top - as it is always says - hard to reach the top
plenty of water stains

ta da
sunroof
NOW this the 2nd hardest part to detail - - as it is on a different composure material - which i believe is make of fiber glass - having a tropical water stains is an almost an IMPOSSIBLE task to remove -
would you believe - it takes an hour plus to detail
another 50/50 % comparison on the sunroof
before
a 50/50%
