Yesterday Earth Day was abit bored as my customer suddenly had to go outstation and had to cancel a detailing session, so, i decided to detail up my own ride as it was lacking some love lately.
The hilarious thing was, i woke up at 9.30am and thought it was a working day, panic! rush to the showers and was looking for excuses to tell my boss, then i realize =.= it was a saturday :sleep:
Anywayz, my car was well maintained as i really had a passion for detailing and polishing it with hand before i got in touched with the detailing circle.
Some teasers before all
So, Todays prescription =D

Oh i started on Friday night which was on my "Practice" Session on my own spoiler. small part of black that needed swirl removal. Sorry i didnt take alot of pics this time as it was white and i dont know how to take good pics of white....
Starting with some evaluation pics
Blur reflection
Unclear reflection with some light swirls which is very hard to notice...
Swirls on black paint
Abit Blurry had swirls but cant notice in pics... hard to take white cars with swirls
The above pics was taken at night
now for the morning shots
pics
Clearer Swirl under sunlight
Another swirl shot
Side mirror...
there are some light swirls around the halogen if u see clearly...
Side mirror preping a M105 threatment
Some water marks stains...not sure if viewable..
Althought its clear but still swirls and water strains are visible..
Roof area not a very clear reflection on the left
Hood area...swirls
Front wheel arch swirles~
Doing a deep clearning...i dont think many people will do till this extend.. but i was bored and it was my car... i know all the insides and out of it... sooo.:stupid: just gonna clean it!
These were after cleaning
Corrected....
Side area above rear right rim Corrected
a deep RID after correction still there...
Corrected roof! no swirls and smooth touch!
claarity
taadaaa... direct reflection, flawless
Do u feel that there is a deep wet glossy look? + reflection + no more swirlies~
from far... a corrected front hood
nearer...
Cleaned my mugen twin loop too
After the spoiler i went to sleep and after panic morning i continued detailing the whole car including a tail light swirl removal
Damages, light swirls.. im not sure if can view so i'll post a few
Compounded with M105
tadaaaa
Even taillights also gain a deep gloss
Clear reflection from the halogen
After Fully Compounded and awaiting a refreshing ONR was.. she looks out at the streets...
After washing, i continued with Hyper Polish and then another wash, following to wax application and the UQD. I clayed the car in the beginning for surface prep but not much dirt and contaminents...this is good news right??
Anyways, I completed the car in a total of 13 man hours!
and now for the final prize...
reflections!
PAW PAW PAW white can reflect too
my palm trees gonna be famous yoo~
blue skies from the front hood~
blue skies from the roof
even my bumper has gloss till it almost reflect! (note there is a gazillion of stone chips there)
Just for the tail lights....sexy shot
awsome isnt it?

Lesson learnt from this session,
if ur pad it not big enought, dont force into right places!
watch out of sharp areas, pads might get damages or cutted!!
:driver:
Cheers!
Happy Detailing...
like KC says to me, the best detailing is the owner! its true :itsme: :biggrin:
