Selamat hari raya
after a long break celebration, its quite an adjustment back to the norms, my buddy whom a car crazy & loves cars, expressed his intention of learning to maintaining his own white ride & pick up some DIY car detailing tricks of the trade
in the course of meeting, we inspects his ride, paint condition - (2 months old, only wash twice by the service center as he knew the tragic ending of prolong road side car wash)...after following my blogs for months, he is well informed & equips with some basics knowledge
upon arrival
we had a great chat & got carried away for 3 hours (as we have so much in common) from parenting - juggling with time between career and family - both struggles to put our Family as priority......how welcoming one baby can be so demanding & they just interrupts our routine, without much respects....they will know 20 years to come after they become one like us....LOL...so we both knew how difficult it is to squeeze time to care even for our ride - more over i was shocked to find out he is staying in senawang & works in Sepang - like most of us spends hours to & fro from work....
just as we cared for our new born, we too care for our new ride -
sending to a nearby & along the way car wash seems to be a radical thing to do, rather than buying stuff off the shelf & not user friendly & effective at all (requires too much time ...probably 2-3 hours to wash one car) - thats come with many unexpected surprises as well
so our intention is to spend a minimal time to wash & protect our ride
So minimum & effortlessly (20-30 mins to ONR wash ) & another easy & effective way to protect (OCwax in just barely 10 minutes to wax the entire car as so easy as spray & spread & walk away)
as for some deeper cleaning - engines - door jams, rain stains...without need of sending it to a detailing shop, with just diluting Power clean
close up
closer - bugs & Insect saps
lower - dust
saps residue, can be quite disastrous if it is not dealt with immediately - as our clear coat is porous...**
insects - saps
pls be warn not to use force or allowed any car wash guys to use sponges to scrubs like dishes - as it will smears & marred our paint surface
visible thumb print
side look - side kick - the most contaminated painted surface of the car
look at the amount of dirt trapped in between of these door jams
side mirror - before
Heavy, dried sap drips may not be removed if dried onto the surface!** Always remove anything that doesn't belong on your finish immediately! I thought I would have to wash, my car a couple of times with soap and water. Nope - but with the convenience of ONR now, I can just deal with this within minutes
after ONR
door hinges before
now
POWER CLEAN
agitate with brush
rinse off immediately
before - door jam
in just a few sec after power clean
I usually keep a a premixed bottle of QD at the back of my trunk, need to spray it on liberally and agitate the area with a clean microfiber towel to remove the substance and then wipe clean. It's really amazing how easily it removes even old bugs, tar and tree sap...the key is immediate
remember before
after ONR
further with clay & power clean
ta da
the danger of nanti attitude
minimizing the damage
imagine, we park under the convenience of shade - beneath a tree - we are bound to have the threat of Tree Saps & birds dropping
pls witness this -
over night
hard to remove OPC is the best to remove - as the polymer agitate & instant you can rinse off
ta ta clear coat
the issue here is immediate respond & minimized the damage (propose u to keep a bottle of ONR QD (quik detailer) to remove these threat
when you sent yr car to be wash, the road side fella will scrubs their heart out of it.....
till
inorder to remove these, a deeper paint leveling is required
ONR as lube (Abalone Mikra 2000 grit sand paper)
polish off with OPT Hyper Compound & Optimum double wool pad
finish off with optimum Hyper Polish with optimum foam pad
ta da
i remember this quote (where I read 20 yrs ago)
"your attitude determine your altitude " - jgn cakap malaysia boleh, when we fail even to move from the comfort seats of our car to remove this bug
Rise up taking yr ownership & make a different today
