Message: <blockquote data-quote="DarkAccoon" data-source="post: 1063853026" data-attributes="member: 436">As CNY is coming, we all want our ride to be sparkling, smooth and nice.What makes the paint dull, boring and unattractive? Answer: Contaminant, scratches, bird poo stains, watermarks and lots more.So my friend called me up, told me he could not get a place to polish and wax his car as all the shops are fully booked. He is very particular on who handles his cars and trusted me with his beloved (in which I proceed to molest his dearest for two nights)Time was limited as I have a daytime job and doing this part time. He needs the car by Thursday to pick up his gf from the airport and leave to perlis on friday. So i only have two nights to work on his baby.Without further delay, lets begin.Starting off with cleaning the usual places which is neglected.The rear boot cover areas<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Cleaned with a brush and Optimum Power Clean (OPC)<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The Fuel Cap Area (yeah, was working with a 300W light only as we were deprived of sunlight)Before<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />During the cleaning<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Sorry, no after.... forgot to take as was pushed for time.Door hinge area (horrible places where fingers may get hurt.)<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And I asked my friend.... "CLEAN BOH" which he promptly reply "CAN EAT OFF IT WEI"Rims area (this was taken at night)<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After wash (this was taken the day after)<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Car was later washed following the below steps1. Meguires Wash and WAX2. Optimum Power Clean 1:5Car was dried with three microfiber clothes.Owner of the car helps out to tape the car and prep it for the following torture (this is DAY 2 btw.)<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/9.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Rear left bumper, kena bang by white Wira. Damage: Scratches, paint transfer, and chip paint.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After solution applied:- Compound with Optimum Hyper Compound with Optimum double sided wool pad (wished i had a smaller pad for these tight spots....)<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />ALL defects have been removed after 4 passes of the compounding.Now comes the headache part. The bonnet was involved in an accident previously and was resprayed by some half pass six donkeys. The shop refuse to correct it as it has been more than 6 months from the time it was resprayed. Seen closely, you will notice that the clearcoat is bubbling. The paint here is totally dull, boring, discolored and have little to no reflection<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After 5 passes of Hyper Compound + Double sided wool pad + 1 hour. Some sanity was restored<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/15.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Not perfect but at least can see more details. Moving on to the front bumper which was gazed by something... again foreign material transfer over.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/16.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Remember to mask off places you do not want to compound off. <img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/17.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After done to perfection (two pass of Hyper Compound + Double Sided Wool Pad)<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Sweet smoothness<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/19.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Now moving to the part there all Wolverine wanna-be like to test, the door handle area<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/20.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And after done......<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Roof area and rear bonnet area<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/23.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/24.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />No after pics on these as was seriously pushed for time. Owner already stayed at my house two nights and its getting late (bout 11pm late and we have not had our dinner yet)After spot compounding was done (i call it spot compounding as I only compound parts that requires it instead of the whole car), we went ahead with Optimum Hyper Polish with Optimum Double Sided Polish PadOnce completed, car was OPC 1:5 followed by a nice shower of ONR. And we sat back, enjoyed the car for a brief moment before we went out to get OBLONG DAGING SPECIAL at RM5 each. YUM.... i would have taken a photo of it but it just went straight to my mouth first. kaka.Once we return, it was time to do the final two steps. Opti Seal (10 minutes) and Optimum Spray On Car Wax (5 minutes)Now, sit back and enjoy the hardwork done in a total of two sorta days.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/25.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/26.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/27.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Thank you for your time on this lengthy useless post. =P</blockquote>
