Sharing My 22nd Birthday, My Detailing History & Thanks To My Detailing Buddies

its already been a year plus since i know about detailing, i still remember when the 1st time i got my car i didnt bother washing it till one day i saw a really shiny car on the road passed by me. i ask myself, why nice car have nice shine and my car doesnt? that moment i dont really bother about shine or not shine, to me a car is just for me to drive around. i have NO any interest about detailing cause i dont know what is detailing! one day, i saw my dad waxing his car. i asked him, why you wipe your car every sunday? he replied, to keep it shine la, if dont wax regularly the paint will get oxidized. i looked at my car it almost going to become matte black, i ask my dad can i have some of your wax? and then he gave me his bottle and guide me. 1st, he ask me to wash the car and then just wax. i tried with his way, wash with dish cleaner and then wax with car kit carnuba wax, the finish is really satisfied me 100 times alot. i immediately drive it out under the sun with a happy smile on it. since that day passed, i have a habbit to keeping my car clean and tidy, i wash almost everyday with detergent and wax with good morning towel, i also will add abit of water to smoothen up the surface while waxing, if is not, i will find very hard to wipe off the residue. after a few months, i went to ENEOS to check out about detailing supplies. i saw Meguiar's products on the shelf, i was too excited to pick a few stuff from there but i have no idea which one should i get. a sales man approach to me and ask me, i told him about the problem but he seems dont understand, he gave me a name card and ask me to go to his office at USJ1, yea.. Hypercoat Enterprise. after talk to a person at there, i bought the full range of Meguiar's product which cost about almost 1k. shampoo, 3steps, engine degreaser/hyper dressing, gold class carnuba, tire gel, interior bla bla bla. i tried myself with the instruction behind have labelled, i start becoming a detailing freak non-stop trying out all the products everyday after that. i even went to meguair's malaysia forum to check the stuff which can satisfy my needs. until one day, i saw a person posted at there named KC, his work really got me shocked. to find out who he is, i read his blog everyday. i even called him to ask him how to get those stuff to be done that way, almost an hour of conversation and i decided to meet up with him. after the night we met up, my interest about detailing become stronger each day, i immediately purchase a SKIll rotary buffer to whack my car but with alot holograms on it. i still not satisfied, i went back to him again. he'll tell me bla bla bla. then next day i bought makita and learn again to improve myself until one day, i have archive this result..
