this was the 2nd car we did last Sunday, after the Toyota Wish
we only had quick break & Drink rushing to this rescue mission
One day , One of my close Friend call me as he stumble upon my blog, while browsing in a car forum
he couldn't believe seeing me detailing the Ferrari, Porsche & Lexus .... not even a pro but only an enthusiast
I wouldnt have done it all alone thus this far ....as sparks by Seech PASSION
this was a last minute arrangement, as this will be my last sunday detailing Session..........Need to spend more time with my girls...
Thank God Seech came along otherwise I would have turn off this challenge
Upon arriving to the house, we thought easy job.....but closer look & investigation..................NOPE......
The paint was very dull, heavily oxidized, hardly look like a titan blue & rear 1/4 has lots of splattered paint on it, hard water stain
Front head lamp was sanded by the owner while trying to remove the oxidation & the bumper & hood was scratch too.....another request from my Friend is to detail the engine & stained windows
This is a 8 years old car, never been polish or waxed before
pls view the rest of this history
50% of our energy was used in the 1st ride & now left 50% to do the 2nd one
one very encouraging place to view is a very clean engine
regularly detail by the owner himself
what more to say - oxidized .... dullness....
some bird dropping itch the owner tries to sand off
can some body tell me what to do
what do u think of matte paint for a change
head lamp attempt correction by the owner - some over sanded
later was corrected by seech
i will let him to elaborate the process & final pics
left rear 1/4 area...paint splatted
Menu for the Day
ONR Rinseless wash - with 3 microfibers
Aggressive clay - ONR rinseless was as LUBE
APC on emblems & door jams area
Main Course -
the paint is very coarse & dry
when we tries to compound, the pad as though like spider webs, got stuck on it...sticky dried surface
quick tips......constant pad spurring was great to break loose the residue & smoothen the process
Master Chef Seech - compounding with care

Polishing -
After a good cut, we feel this c/coat need a good lubricity polish oil - we reckon Meguairs M80 will do a good job with Soft buff W8006 - in resulting ma ma mia
Hand wax by NXT2.0 & UQD

50/50 pics
We strongly believe - documented our process is the best policy to show what we do
as you can see that there is some heavily oxidation & clear coat wearing out - whitish spots in the centre
cloudy murky surface.......remind me of the song
just another manic monday song
