Greetings earthlings,
Today I bring you a hot red sexy little thang called a Flesh Red Polo (owner is a colleague of mine and she says the color code is Flesh Red.)
Da story:
Car is more than 1 year old but less than two years old. Have been sent to some auto detalier previously and my colleague feels that its time to give it some pampering again before her wedding.
So off she goes sending the car in for a treatment.
Condition upon arrival is..... WOOT, looks nice in the pic.
Or is it? Bird poo on the bonnet being baked by the heat of the engine.
Ants running around the windscreen which is pretty dirty
More bird poo at the spoiler.
Never detailed before rims.
Closer looks shows that..... its kinda......
Lots of tar stains
Dirt around the cars
More dirt
Obvious place but seldom washed area
Dirt at the door area
Shoe shuffle marks
After the car was given a Osren Bubble & Wax bath, it was OPC 1:3 all da way and below is the result. Dirty but not as dirty as I expected it.
Clayed the car...... only certain spots was pretty contaminated especially the roof, the rear and the lower region. The front bonnet and all seems pretty good.
Da owner giving it a try at claying
Check out this stain....
Macam chewing gum again?
Clay and OPC the thing
And as KC goes.... TADDAAAA
This is the semi legendary DarkAccoon setting up his halogen lamp
This is da owner of red hot sexy babe taping off parts that does not want to get polished off. YES, that is masking tape on her head..... I did that cause its fun.
Rear windscreen taped off..... CAR OF DA YEAR 2010
Sides were taped off as well.
Headlamp were tape off as well. Did not actually intend to polish the headlamps but looking at the rainbox color watermark on it.... it was just too tempting for someone as passionate as me
This is da watermark on all the glass.
Check out the leg stance and da seriousness in handling a power tool. Never take power tools for granted as it will do a lot of damage to everything around it. *With great powers, comes great responsibilities.*
Evenly polished, nice and hazy
Da owner decided to give it a try as well.
Determined to get rib of the watermark and master da rotary
Results!!!!! I let it speak for itself
I took over the wheel and continued the polishing. The previous photo still does have some watermark left.
And the end results of a master windscreen polisher
After all glass and headlamp were polished, its time to give the hot babe a bath again. Again with Osren Bubble and Wax
Doesn't the babe look pretty hot already.....
Dripping wet babe.
That would be me washing
That would be her drying. Cloth used is a chamois. Super absorbent and used correctly, will not create swirls during the drying process.
On to the wheels
OPC 1:3 and you get flowing goodness....
Without even agitating it...... I did agitate it later after this photo was taken
And ya get this at the end of it all. Note: The rims were pretty messed with tar spots all over. I did not have the time to clay the rims nicely.
Almost done....
Interior was given a quick wipe down with ONR...... YES, I used ONR to wipe the interior. HOHOHO.
Exterior was then Opti-Sealed and Optimum Car Wax, and you get awesome gloss
Now, this is a clean car... sorta.... to be revealed later.
Reflection shot...... lovely.....
All glass were given the Opti-Seal treatment and you get the below results
(According to the lovely lady whom owns the car, previously, she paid RM200 just to get the front and back windscreen coated with some glass coating so that water beads......and it lasted ONLY 3 MONTHS). Opti Seal can be used for the entire car wei.......
Note:
- Driver side glass was polished whereas the passenger side glass were cleaned using FormalHero watermark remover.
- Front and back windscreen has wiper hence I opt to polished instead of using watermark remover.
- Headlamps rainbow color watermark was easily polished off with 1 pass of Optimum Hyper Polish
- I was suppose to do paint correction as well on this car due to the many swirls and watermark on the paint + bird poo stains. However, due to logical thinking that the driver is most of the time inside the car, I gave priority to the interior which the owner agrees as well.
- I promised the owner that I will give her babe another sexy treatment when the time comes FOC cause I myself am not really satisfied with this result.
- Time constraint was due to owner personal reasons..... *cannot be revealed here.* hehe.
- Paying RM200 to get your front and rear windscreen coated with some weird glass coating which only beads water for 3 months.... not cool. Opti-Coat makes more economical sense. 1 bottle can detailed up to 40 full size cars.... or probably a big huge ass gas tanker.
Total time spend: 9.5 hours
Items used: OPC 1:0, 1:3, 1:5, ONR, Soft bristle brush, brush, lots of cloths, Optimum Car Wax, Opti-Seal, Osren Bubble and Wax, Optimum Hyper Polish, Optimum Double Sided Foam Pad, Makita 9227C
Satisfaction Level: Personally I was not really satisfied. Given more time, I can turn this car around even further.
Please leave me your comments (good or bad) as it is much appreciated.
