a purple colour ride... Malaysia production car, Proton Saga
it's a successor of previous generation saga that is rebadged from mitsubishi's lancer back in the 80s



this is the reflection before detailing





the most visible scratch on the bonnet


a four month old new car, the paint fade due to acidic air from industrial area where the owner works at


this is the alien juice that does the 1st magic step

my "tool box"

my messy tools

the micro fiber cloth i use for cleaning

the MF clothe i use for cleaning the wax

the MF clothe i use for drying the water

since it;s only a test on half of the bonnet, very little ONR mix wif maybe 1/4 bucket of water

minor dirt i collected from the bonnet

b4 ONR treatment

after ONR treatment, the water now spread on different path

after a few second from the previous pic

step 2, clay

using ONR as lubricant

minor contaminant picked from 50% of the bonnet

rotary, meg's M105 wif wool pad for compound


after 1 pass of compounding, the hologram that cause by the remaining of M105


after compound using lake country cutting pad wif M105
polished with meg;s m205 with the combination of lake country polishing pad

time to seal today's hardwork

the flakes appear

owner's request, i did a 50/50

using flash that differentiate b4 n after detailing

let's pour some water for test

water beading

water that sticks

scratch from the begining pic is gone


comparison of paint flakes

total spending time, 2hour from 5pm to 7pm
most of the time explaining things to the owner
hope he likes driving a half detailed bonnet around

great to know that u have a ROB...there aare Lake country pads avail .....cutting, polishing & finishing...you have to be evry careful in chossing your choice of foam ..as it is always...as the side lining between the velco & pad seems to get detached & cracked

what are the polishes u have?:burnout:

What do you mean by ROB ? I was actually wrong , I have the machine that can drill hole and have the adapter , but do have the machine that cuts metal but I don't have the adapters ..

Anyways , where can I get Lake country pads and price ? and does it comes with an adapter ?

Besides , I am no detailing pro , didn't really get what you mean by "what are the polishes u have ?
