Last week my business card printer gave me a call and set an appointment for a detailing job to be done to her daily ride.

So i went down, diagnose the car and set the appointment date.

The day came, and this time i started abit late.

Today's prescription,
ONR NO Rinse wash
Meg's Gold Class wash
PG's detailing Claybar
Meg's M105 cutting compound
Optimum Hyper polish
Optimum quick wax
Optimum power clean
Meg's Ultimate quick detailer
Tools:
LC's yellow cutting pad
LC's white polishing pad
Brushes, and lots of MF towels

In Malaysia, it is a very common trend that when you purchase a 2nd hand used car, the car dealers normally respray a coat of clear coat to make the car paint look "New" overtime, rain, acid rain, sun, and not good paint jobs, the paint started to bubble up and eventually....pops and there u have, a brand new hole on ur front hood.

tadaaaa free hole from mother nature and a irresponsible shortcut car dealer

not only the dealers is responsible for these kind of damage...the owner also doesnt take care of the car...

Then i started with M105 with 3 puff of ONR 1:8 as some moisturizing as the weather was very dry...

i found out this technique gives me abit more working time and does not affect the performance of the M105 cutting compound..
