Mission Impossible Possible - Extreme Car detailing guide by KC

[kc2]

Finally managed to get everything together

our new family member - gorgeous looking 39er

hmmmmm

but under proper lighting

I thought i saw some only but...badly & horrendously....

more threats from animals or negligent of mechanics

more.... mother nature or Human error???

more....others car passenger or our very own passenger

Threats is an expression of an intention to inflict pain, injury, evil, or punishment. 2. An indication of impending danger or harm

more..........shoe stains

stains at door jams......

more swirls

very visible swirls - so much so look like CC premature failure

plastic handle - paint oxidation

after my Favourite ONR wash......deeper cleaning

Power clean dilution 1: 5 water

Just you see & now you dont

more side steps cleaning

at the lower internal door panel

another brushes for highly contaminated area - such as these or engine area

ma ma mia
Look at what i found
Chewing Gums like tars stains

I choose the least aggressive way.....

ta da

the usual suspect...

TARS
the most easy & effortless...effective....safe.... tar remover

ta da....

only scratches left - to be polish off

before

ta da

TAR education - TIPs

whenever after any 2 x 2 feet area clayed - we should stop & check for any Visible sighted contaminants - such as tars, dust, sands or brake dust

Note
Failing to do such - you might transferred A to B & contaminate another area with scratches..etcs...

STOP! In the name of Love - before you hurt me!!!

remove them prior folding to a new area & continue to clay the next area

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

once preps is done - now I have a surface above free from contaminants - moving to paint corrections

swirls

very visible fine line cut - is done only professionally - regular car wash damages!!!!

threats inflicted professional by car washes (or road side ones)

SWIRLS is usually inflicted by our habits & the wrong way of handling washing , also techniques (wrong way of shampooing - circulating) & material used - such as sponges, worn out mitts/microfibers, drying cloth - cotton cloth - old rags, old t-shirts, jeans la....etcs...as our clear coat is only 2/1000th part of an inch

therefore I make it a point to change my Microfibers once every 3-4 months to prevent


a 50/50% area set

after compounding - with OPTIMUM Hyper Spray Compound with LC Double sided wool

ta da

driver side

cuts & deeper scratches - suspected - as it is always park at the narrow drive way - so much so, scratches inflicted - while gliding out from car!!!

more chips - BEFORE

MAGICALLY YOURS

before

now

YESTERDAY!!! All my trouble seems so far away

Can you see the rainbow come!!!

another sign of premature - CC failure!!

now after paint correction & premantly Opti-Coating

after much careful paint corrected & re-inspected - all over again & again prior coating- as opti coat becomes a permanent part of the ride new paint system

Opti-Coat provide a superior clear coat film that is highly resistant to chemical etching, harder than factory clear coat to reduce swirls and scratches, and a permanent hydrophobic surface that is easier to clean and stays cleaner for longer. as it does not get degrade and cannot be removed by chemicals such as cleaners wash or even degreasers

definitions detail

see how bad is this back light - abuse by the road side car washes

[kc2]

KC, nice work..

thanks buddy


can we start on yrs now? cant wait to see you put yr hands on & show back to them



some updates

2 weeks later

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ More interior Detail++++++++++++++++++++

orang minyak????? left behind ???

ver very oily stuff - if u were to do a wipe test on a tissue u will know what i mean

oily dressing is something is irritating - as it will trap dust & dirt , and once your your sleeves wipe across accidentally ta da - oily dark stained out sleeves

1stly old dressing must go - with power clean diluting 1 part 3 water & agitate with soft bristle hair brushes & wipe down with damp MF
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_RsduO4BD4FA/TNUhlwQHtcI/AAAAAAAAL5Y/53WkVwwvxS0/s800/P1160487.JPG



as for me i rather choose a UV coating base product instead of shinny looking ( dust attracting) - as Optimum leather protectant do not cover up like others dressing does - but will definably prolong the oxidation part

Another spray on wipe off & walk away

look at the 50/550%

satin finish but not oily

ta da

satin finish dashes

no more oily surface

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++how to get yr Carpet detail ++++++++++ without electricity & asses ability

more underneath the carpet

fold & remove the dust particles by folding the carpet

brush off the dirt instead of dusting it on a floor or grill - bla bla


tips - a soft plastic bristle brushes & a DC vaccum is the best of this job

eg
hard to vacuum area

hard to reach area by brushing them off

sweeps the dirt to a open area to be suck int by DC vacuum

ta da

balance - ta da

dull & dried seats before

satin finish feel dashes - silky smooth when touch & no more oils - get trapped again

the best seat on the car - thats how every driver felt but willing exchange that for driving a UDM

leather now is protected -Leather protectant - not another oily dressing which gives u squeaking - abrasion against yr leather & clothing cos most
2 in 1 leathers contains 90 % cleaners & 10 conditioner (no UV protection)

smooth & silky satin feels

all seats is protected by Optimum leather protectant - all surface interior space can be applied esp leathers, rubbers & vinyl

ta da

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++unpredictable weather worn us out....
another threats from general public & becareful where you park

scratches remove by mild hand polish - as it has been opti coated & a real good test of the coating strength

thank God opti coated

here some beading alien egg picture

aliens is here to stay

superb water beadings & minimal dirt particles stickin to a well coated paint

i actually drove thru rain every time without switching the wiper...& water just beads away

thanks for viewing another detailing adventure again

cheerios KC

 

[s1tl]
