How often do we get our car wash & sent it to a proper place - doing it correctly to avoid damages inflicting to the paint- such as swirls - RIDS - scratch

DONT Take the "tiada apa" attitude (AKA - no worries) what most of us will do locally here - get it done in 30 minutes for RM 8 at the road side car wash -

Car from the west is always bound to have more paint issue - as most of them is neglected, due to four season weather & up to 50 pound to wash a car..ended

Mr M has just purchase a SKILL & some consumer range products from Megs & he has try very hard to remove the hologramming


So he came as fast as possible but after 3 hours of our pits stop detailing - so I gave him a personal class...

Swirls & Hologram corrections;;;

wash & clay with ONR

POLISH with OPtimum Hyper polish with Lake country pad -

the different is SKILL lowest speed is makita speed no 4...1600RPM

that is the culprit..

2 hyper polish spray - spread with speed 1 (600RPM) gradual to speed 2 (900) to break the product down & finish off speed 1 ( by lifting a it of the machine

thanks for viewing & appreciate yr feed back

 

[ZenGTMM]

People might not believe words, and might not even believe pics on the net because photos now can be photoshop-ed. But seeing it in real life is believing!!
I also can hardly believe my eyes at the glossyness of my Proton Persona rear boot.
