Big Hello to y'all Detailer Gods and Goddess!

Back in 85 to 89, when i was in CA doing my studies, I developed a healthy 'OCD' with making cars shiny. 20yrs later back in Singapore, I still love making cars sparkle!

My mates don't understand why i spent the whole of my Sat washing and waxing my car. I would spent 4-5 hrs being 'one' with the car...wax on...wax off...while they will be hollering me to come down to the pub.

However, I've realised I was doing ALL WRONG for the last 20yrs! Been Rinsing, Washing and Waxing (LSP). THe 2 buckets method, claying, AIO, DACP and SG are totally foreign to me. My car has all the swirling patterns that will make a spider blush.

It was only when a friend commented i should become a detailer that i decided to look up for more info. thank god i found you guys! I found the holy grail! i'm not the only one thats anal abt shiny cars!

The timing could not have been better too, as I'll be taking delivery of a new black Scooby next week. In addition, a brand new B&D random orbit, Clays, MF towels, Waffle Weavers, AIO, Meg's 20, SG are sitting quietly in my new tackle box waiting for the arrival. Still have not decided what polisher to use yet, but most likely will be a meg's. By some strange coincidence, me wallet is getting light too, has anybody experience this symptom?

I've spoken to a Klasse detailer and we will be prepping the car together. Always good to have an experienced pair of hands and eyes around especially with an orbitor.

Hopefully, in a few months time, i would have an ideal detailing process for the business to be.

Cheers!

I sure will! There many other products here, just have to find a good combo for the tropical conditions here: 95F (35 degree Celsius) with 95% humidity and with storms all year round.

Btw, where are u in Southeast Asia?

Regards
 
I'm from Brunei btw :) , yea you do have lots of good stuff available there : zaino, Meg, Soft99 claybar ,1Z etc .:jump
 
Shoot, me too, I my self was waxing the wrong way too few years ago. Yup, I did those wash then apply LSP(wax) :wall
Then one day I bumped into some import cars forums and stumped on some detaling links. Now here I'm am, polish like a pro :bigups
 
OK i'm going bonkers!

I was browsing in a power tool shop yesterday and came across a 1hp air compressor on sale for USD100 bucks.....i bought it!

my girlfriend hates the noise but i told her, any man who is serious about diy would need an air compressor. for a start, i can say goodbye to the annoying water drips behind registration plate, side mirrors and bumpers.

i'm thinking of a wash, clay, AIO and sg on the air compressor red tank, is this cool or homo?

psst psst!
