1 Month Old Inspira Protected By Optimum

good day everyone. today was a really tiring day for me due to alot places to run the whole afternoon and not forget i went to taman muda to help out daniel to restore a persona at the same time, the persona was done very well but too bad i didnt bring my camera along, what a waste.. before i reached back home, a friend of mine who called me to ask me to remove some of the scratches he hit the past few days. tho i was really tired and exhausted but my heart still burning when comes to detailing, instead having dinner with my girlfriend, i ask him to drop by at my place. upon arrival..

hit quite badly as you can see the clear coat and base coat have been peel off


at the same time i also found something..


let me test you if you can spot something in this picture

Photobucket


the answer is..


UH OH! ICQ message receive tone

Photobucket
poop.

the question is..
if you saw a bird poop on the headlamp, what would you do to remove it?
a. scrub it real hard
b. gently remove by power clean

if you are happen to the clear coat would you choose "A" to scrub it? if you choose "B" the result will be? take a look of the pictures i took.

if you have choose "A" this is the result you will get

Photobucket
not clear? take a look of another one

Photobucket
better appearance?

the poop was baked under the sun for quite sometime and the owner went for a wash at the service center they offer (you know how bangras wash the car) you can see clearly the poop was removed but still left the stain and the scrubbing scratches on it. luckily the other poop on the headlamp was safely removed by power clean without leaving any scratches on it. DR. G is so brilliant, he can create a product that is so strong yet so gentle to remove anything on the surface even on the clear coat. after the wet sanding process was done (still not much different) i gave this car a ONR wash, later on seal with Opti-Seal and last step top up with Optimum Car Wax to give more shine a protection.

before i proceed to last finishing picture i want to tell that ONR is a amazing product have made. 1ounce with 2 gallon of water, imagine you can save so much cost and you can wash anywhere you want, just bring along your ONR and 2 gallon of water and you can start to protect your car in no time. it also creates water tension which will sink down all the dirt underneath. to 1st time user, always remember to use only the top of the solution to clean your car and not forget it can be use as quik detailer too. after wash your car, you can top up with your favorite Optimum Car Wax for greater reflection and protection.

and now you enjoy this

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..

Photobucket

this is a testing car i driving everyday, you can see the hood is swirl free and hologram free after months of practicing/learning etc etc. thanks uncle KC for your encouragement and willing to "SHOW ME YOUR WORK!!!" million thanks to you and also my detailing friends, seech aka jack, st1l aka josh and fishbonezken aka kenneth for your useful videos and write up. last, specially thanks to my lovely girlfriend who willing let me spend time on detailing, thanks for everything you've done for me. if you're reading this i would like to take this opportunity to tell you that i love you, thanks for the cupcakes/present you bought for me on my birthday, i really like it and happy 1 year anniversary :)

just dilute Power Clean and a soft bristle brush to clean, so easy and effortless and its a clear coated safe product!

after cleaning the emblems, my turn to wash the car by using Optimum No Rinse 1 ounce with 2 gallon of water. i show them the proper method of washing a car while washing, always start from the hood, roof, trunk, door panel and finally use the existing solution to clean the skirting/bumper which have a lot of dirt/sand/tar etc etc.

Photobucket
they are gonna try their own while i was drying the car.
