[KC@detailien]

I do receive many many calls a day, most of them asked me to detail their ride - you know "I will gives them back the same old answer!"

the gathering of Detailien took place last sat - we welcome Zaid (OCD) who just arrive earlier this morning from Mauritius (overnight flight - without much sleep and detail almost 12 hours) saluting his determinations



we begin from paint study

why paint gets oxidised / clear coat failure

we actually begins as early at 8 am (completed 3 cars for the day)



irremovable stains - algae / acid rains stains



https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-NRQDnDc1Wew/Tq2BLwexfNI/AAAAAAAADUE/gMtbpTfWzfg/s800/DSCF6555.JPG



mainly due to poor preperations work - prior repainting





why paint get scuff beneath clear coat

Tips

* if you really need to get yr paint to be resprayed - pls tell your paint take you time & let my putty be fully cured & well sanded down



Let me proved to you factory bakes paint last as long as your car drivable (mine for 2 decades)

conclusion who says "your paint need constant polish WAX by machine" or must wash by car wash

for those of you been a victim, you know "The Less is More"



now is even easier to clean your paint- with the almighty Power clean (safe for painted surface)

TADA a car that has been frequent car wash



https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IhbtV5r5vYQ/Tq2GQWK4dZI/AAAAAAAADW4/RTBbJd05UYQ/s800/DSCF6622.JPG



lesson begin with proper washing techniques "preventive measure" "proactive protection"

most paint swirls 99.99 comes from wrong techniques of washing - either using wear out foam - swirls strokes instead of left to right/up to down strokes, washing from top to bottom or starting from top & gradually goes down to center then lastly finish with the bottom the most contaminates

or

worn out cloth - "what is the issue of changing MF cloth frequently" at least 3 times a year



surface preperations works

dont be fooled - BY JUST A reflection shot



always use proper lighting to check But not to worry - as after every wool cutting - there are always bound to have buffing trails AKA Hologram - just simply finish of with OPT double sided pad with OHSP
