Written this thread to share with you how a detail/restoration process!
IMPORTANT NOTE
You dont need to goes thru this process if you prevented it!
Eg. "from the start" " at the begining" when your new car was delivered or after repainted -
All you need to do is a simple regiment of maintenance wash - best to do it yourself (preventing road side car wash - as most done by foam sponges & coarse MF (worn out) worse still rags!!!
In Malaysia almost every car wash introduce waxing by rotary , YOU DONT NEED TO GET YOUR PAINT polish wax for protection esp new car! as each time is polish - a layer of clear coat is scrap away!!!
as most paint (clear coat) damaged is done so subtlely by our weekly wash

just repainted 2 months ago -
after wash -we clayed using ONR as lube simply diluting 10ml with 500ml water (making it as the cheapest QD only 60 cents)
ta da - very nice reflection picture indeed

but dont be fooled by the hidden light
look at the differences of light – Flourecenes No differences
But Halogen – the sun immitating light – TADA it out

A china make rotary & 2inch foam pad & rubbing compound
* what happens now! When an inconsistent speed rotary use for polish and pressure applies, speed goes way off the course - some slow down & others just over rated speed - polishing product is either under or over broken down, will causes micro marring
When polishing with inaccurate speed rotary & high foam pad = heat builts up quickly, cut more than it is suppose to. Heat is what we must prevent!! least under the sun!
Lastly when AD rubbing compound is use on a high speed undependable rotary & thick pad...volcano results produce
Our Clear coat is as thick a news paper or cigarette wrapper & if it is just 50% cut/polish away it will be endangered species (permanent damaged)

Confucius once says "Knowing oneself & knowing your enemy - you can win one war"
Just a couple of years ago, when i started detailing
I was introduce to a 4 steps paint correction
start with wool pad then cutting foam pad then polishing foam & finish off with finishing foam
thats means I need to cut 4 times of the paint to get it leveled up. Thats lots of paint cut away
Now I gave him to try! briefly explain and showed him the right way with just 2 steps/product - cutting & polishing
ta da off he goes again

MAKITA M 9227 - a machine that can last a life time (prehaps a life time investment)
with the phenomenal combination of Optimum Red foam / wool pad & OPT Hyper spray compound OHSC & polish OHSP, where it is formulated base on 2 most powerful combination " AD aka abrasive diminishing + SMAT "small micro abrasive technology" ! Making it one of the most advance in this era

do u know whayt i am trying to scribbles
SECRET Step of Rotary ! the encrypted code
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gQ79RkSmYNQ/Trc9vUT-vTI/AAAAAAAADXo/VQ8uqcgTIX4/s800/DSCF9894.JPG
it doesnt takes an alien nor transformer to do so
all you need is
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XW9PMDDRVkU/Trc9z6VAZZI/AAAAAAAADXs/7a2NVgY6Io4/s800/1.jpg
know how your rotary is design and rotate clock wise - dont goes against it
Always start from left to right - from top to bottom
Place yr pad on the furthest left glide till the furthest right, glide till the end and down it goes 1/2 pass on the 1st pass! Continue the rest till the bottom & repeat the 2nd /3rd - simply by gradual speed increase
Eg... for polishing
start with the lowest speed - for makita speed 1 then gradually moves up to speed 2 & stay at speed 2 & back down to speed 1
DON`T
Don`t use pressure!! as it heavy enough!! it is design to use speed & product dependence! always follow the recommended speed of the manufacture!!
Under the sun! when the surface is hot
LIGHTNINGS
why lighting play a crucial part in detailing!! Imagine photography is all about lighting, try to shoot some thing that is in dark, nothing turn out nicely
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-nwyNGxItKog/Trc92_q9bwI/AAAAAAAADXw/Y4Db6BPLNeQ/s800/DSCF9904.JPG
No problem looking
is there any different? Hardly.... but under a proper light -
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Z89QTTZLr3I/Trc97Qi7REI/AAAAAAAADX0/PHj1D1E61NQ/s800/DSCF9903.JPG
look again
micro marring & scratches appears ( are the not there in the above picture????) as they are well hidden in most car park lighting.....HALOGEN inmitates the sun without the heat, need to avoid while polishing – Thanks to halogen!!! what you dont see in others – now is shown.
The best it is still inspect under the SUN!!! esp a black car after a detail!!!
