It has been almost a year since I blogged last, almost at the verge of giving up detailing! if I were to tell anyone that I have not been in detailing ...... most of you would believe (as some may have asked about me from my previous joint)! but yet my Passion did not stop! and I have moved on since last Year back on my own....as always my way with my passion....did many more ride and yet to find time to post!
This car is so rare in Malaysia, most probably 1/10 was shipped in!
God has always been very kind of me.....for allowing me to handle such an exotic ride.....
The McLaren MP4-12C is an exotic sports car from the same British company that produced the legendary F1 supercar. A purpose-built two-seater with a midmounted, twin-turbocharged V8, the MP4-12C pushes modern automotive technology to its limits, and the result is a uniquely composed and confidence-inspiring drive
But………………………………………………………………………………………………. TOGW .....the previous detail polish and wax residues..
TOGW
More TOGW
I see lots of work to be done
After washing ....more washing requires
Begin deep washing ....cleaning !
brakes
Wheels
side air intake
C section beside side window
front bonnet cleaning
beneath hood cleaning
cracks clean up
you notice something
Dressing only cover up temporary , as the colour its fade…ugly side of it comes out!
OPC Applied
rinse off
Tadaaaaaaa
my ultimate aim is to protect the car from outside in...not only paint....but interior cracks and door jam to leather seats
Therefore all dressing oil had to be removed prior coating!
Proper preparation is the ultimate important for these unpainted plastic….many would have just applies dressing and cover it
Moving to the engine bay, Picture taken before .....look at the dressing wearing out! Smears!
OPC at work
rinse off
pure and neat as natural...ready for maximum protection on the heart and soul of this ride
many many hours later
after Opticoat the intake and engine parts
Thanks to TOGW
More from the previous TOGW.....the previous detail polish and wax residues...
More from the previous TOGW.....the previous detail polish and wax residues..
look carefully
the previous detailer not only gave me a chance for this job but also work!!!
it almost took me 2 hours to get around these unpainted plastic and clean up
Deeper cleaning begin! it is the most challenging to correct and clean wax residue from unpainted plastics! For the wax being just absorb and stay permanently!!!!!
look again
more work and the only way to get this out quickly is Kerosene
which I do not practice that...so OPC is my best companion
tada
now my turn to tape up and becareful not to allow any compound polish residues stick on this delicate area
many many hours later
after opti coated
OPTI COAT these unpainted area is the best deal of protection one can ever find....they are unpainted ! residues of wax or polish sticks permanently! looks ugly even when your car is done perfectly
