Finally managed to get everything together



our new family member - gorgeous looking 39er


hmmmmm


but under proper lighting


I thought i saw some only but...badly & horrendously....


more threats from animals or negligent of mechanics


more.... mother nature or Human error???


more....others car passenger or our very own passenger


Threats is an expression of an intention to inflict pain, injury, evil, or punishment. 2. An indication of impending danger or harm

more..........shoe stains


stains at door jams......


more swirls


very visible swirls - so much so look like CC premature failure



plastic handle - paint oxidation


after my Favourite ONR wash......deeper cleaning


Power clean dilution 1: 5 water

Just you see & now you dont




more side steps cleaning


at the lower internal door panel


another brushes for highly contaminated area - such as these or engine area


ma ma mia
Look at what i found
Chewing Gums like tars stains


I choose the least aggressive way.....


ta da


the usual suspect...

TARS
the most easy & effortless...effective....safe.... tar remover


ta da....

only scratches left - to be polish off

before

ta da


TAR education - TIPs

whenever after any 2 x 2 feet area clayed - we should stop & check for any Visible sighted contaminants - such as tars, dust, sands or brake dust

Note
Failing to do such - you might transferred A to B & contaminate another area with scratches..etcs...

STOP! In the name of Love - before you hurt me!!!



remove them prior folding to a new area & continue to clay the next area



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

once preps is done - now I have a surface above free from contaminants - moving to paint corrections



swirls

very visible fine line cut - is done only professionally - regular car wash damages!!!!

threats inflicted professional by car washes (or road side ones)


SWIRLS is usually inflicted by our habits & the wrong way of handling washing , also techniques (wrong way of shampooing - circulating) & material used - such as sponges, worn out mitts/microfibers, drying cloth - cotton cloth - old rags, old t-shirts, jeans la....etcs...as our clear coat is only 2/1000th part of an inch

therefore I make it a point to change my Microfibers once every 3-4 months to prevent


a 50/50% area set



after compounding - with LC Double sided wool


ta da




driver side



cuts & deeper scratches - suspected - as it is always park at the narrow drive way - so much so, scratches inflicted - while gliding out from car!!!



Ta da -


after paint corrections & levelling



more swirls from washing !!!!!


means more work!! ta da


moving to left side




more
deep scratches


ta da


clarity restored


hood area

swirls

after paint correction



premature paint failure due to car washing


now


door handle scratches


ta da - as though giving it a brand new paint



scratches - negligent from previous workshop


ta da


Passenger left side door - scratches & stains before


now


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ BEFORE ++++ AFTER

plenty of swirls - before


ta da



BACK TO THE FUTURE!!!
just finish compounding with OSREN velvet cutting pad & followed by LC Double sided Wool pad & LC Cutting pad!!!!!

VISIBLE HOLOGRAM!!!! paint defect inflicted by car detailers


Spot me contest??


after finishing with polishing pad with OPTIMUM Hyper spray polish (excellent working time )


it is gone & former glory is being restored!!!!


clarity & definition redefine


stone chips before


now



my magic portion
specially - premix for my UDMs





more chips - BEFORE


MAGICALLY YOURS


before


now




YESTERDAY!!! All my trouble seems so far away


Can you see the rainbow come!!!


another sign of premature - CC failure!!



now after paint correction & premantly Opti-Coating


after much careful paint corrected & re-inspected - all over again & again prior coating- as opti coat becomes a permanent part of the ride new paint system


Opti-Coat provide a superior clear coat film that is highly resistant to chemical etching, harder than factory clear coat to reduce swirls and scratches, and a permanent hydrophobic surface that is easier to clean and stays cleaner for longer. as it does not get degrade and cannot be removed by chemicals such as cleaners wash or even degreasers

definitions detail


see how bad is this back light - abuse by the road side car washes


after detail


before


after being polish by Optimum hyper spray polish








++++++++++++ Ladies & gentleman presenting to you our new family member ++++++++++++++
