When some of our client's doubt that we are able to travel that far to perform our magic to their cars, we document even the journey for you. This round, we are headed to the East Coast of Malaysia.
From Kuala Lumpur, its a 7hours drive for a normal car. We took 8, just to be safe. We did all the traveling, just for this sweet ride.
Upon arrival, we were briefed by the owner that it is a demo unit, which means there will be alot of dings and dents from the test drives. The Volkswagen Tornado Red is a solid colour which comes with a very soft clear. You will be looking at very severe swirl problems in abit. Swirls were spotted on the body panels.
More swirls. and the best part of all the painted panels. This. Moving to the correction stage, as usual, we gave the car a very thorough and detailed wash. After washing and claying, we started the chemical decontamination. Tar removal. After all surface contamination were removed, we started the correction stage. This is the side pillar before.
And after correction. There are still some very light swirls are were just too stubborn to disappear.
Side by Side comparison. Just the definition of the reflection already shows a major improvement. On the other side of the car, before. After. We spent about 7hours on the correction and finally she is ready for the final wash. Entire process took us a hefty 10hours of bicep workout. Here are the results.

Stay Tuned as the Part 2 will be out in 3 days ;D

We have with us a not so common Ferrari today. Just like you daily driven Perodua(s), Honda(s), or even Toyota(s); Ferrari(s) also require love and pampering. We are here for only 1 purpose, to restore the paint work on this Italian beauty...
