Car Care and Detailing Dreams (Part 2)

[awais.9]

Hmm....do you use detailer spray with wet wipe? You're using good water but check around your home if there are white salts/deposits around taps, faucets, sink etc.

I'm thinking the straight line swirls on the hood imitate how you use the wash mitt......if no one else cleans it then we know that the swirls coming are your fault :P, serious. Again, i'm emphasizing on using the manufacturer's advice on the back of car wash or any other product.
Direction doesn't matter; up, down, right, left, zigzag......any direction used will cause swirls. Think about it; if there's dirt on your car and your cleaning/washing it in circular motion then it can be swirled up but if you're doing it up and down your car miraculously becomes swirl proof :P......thats not the case; swirls are not round......they are millions of tiny scratches that go in all directions. Look at your car in shade after wash; you'll see straight line scratches but if seen under a source of light they APPEAR circular but infact they were going in other directions.

Do take pics of the black lines. Do they fade away or become less prominent after some time? Or they stay as they are until you use liquid polish? Don't give too much drying time or the wax can cake on the paint and get hard to remove; if instructions say to wax panel by panel or anything else then stick to that.

While waxing look parallel to the panel to see wax application; you only need a thin layer and if you see wax is missing out then apply a little wax to applicator and keep waxing. A dry, clean pad will fill up with most of the wax before it really gets applied so spray some water on pad before putting wax on pad. This will ensure an even layer and you'll get less or no leftover wax on applicator. Try it in next session.

i didnt bought this car new so swirls,ahem ahem
also it does goes for a service sometimes
lets see when next lines appear next time,i know only thin layer is needed to be applied but there was some issue of uneven application after which i tried a little more wax n pressure on pad while applying it which seemed to solve the issue
wax is visible on bonnet trunk etc as compared to side panels where i just apply it assuming its applied if i cant see it
well what do u suggest the waiting time for these waxes: meg #26,GC,black box cleaner wax n carnuba wax?
i think atleast both the meg's waxes can be left for even 1hr
it doesnt takes alot of time applying wax so i normally wax whole car before buffing
i wash the pad after every wax session
sometimes while waxing water appears on some panel which the pad absorbs n then pad application becomes smooth,n i thought it shouldnt get wet but now i'll try it next time
btw even if there's dirt on car like dust then washing the car or wet wipe or detailer wipe shouldnt be harmful after all those are the cleaning methods for it,i dont use detailer wipe with wet wipe either wet wipe or detailer wipe....there are no white salts so far that i noticed

Washed & Detailed Yesterday!

Turtle Ice Shampoo
Turtle Hard Shell Wax
Turtle Synthetic Paste Polish

Sadly got nothing for tyres & interior

Some Pics

And very light rain moments ago

dear hamza bhai mashallah car skin seems very fresh, enrich and reflective
now ur next buy should be cleaner wax as white paints need cleansing time to time to keep them in real pure white tone.

[ahmad_yar]

Thank you so much for analyzing my situation and helping me out. I will definitely try to use the product u recommended.
I have went through some part of the thread and have saw that many ppl are using a lot of products to detail their rides. What else you suggest besides using turtle ice polish to give it a better look plus protect it from the environment?
Secondly is it ok if i use the turtle ice shampoo as i saw some of its reference on the forum?

U also mentioned three terms "light cut, polishing and synthetic wax". I m just confused here whether they're three different terms or its only referring to one item here.

dear bhai jan
turtle ice polish is synthetic wax so good in protections well if u increase ur budget than meguiars nxt paste wax is very good choice , not only good in protection but also produce beautiful clear looks and good reflections

by light cutting means , compounding than polishing than synthetic wax coat

compounding, polishing not a every day products so instead of investing in compounds and polishing u can get this done from any professional and just maintain the work with weekly shampoo wash and wax

however if u wish to do it urself than meguiars ultimate compound and ultimate polish is good combo however electric polishers brings best outcomes instead of manual applications
yes turtle ice shampoo is good and safe for paint

[ahmad_yar]

@ahmad_yar thanks alot for such kind appreciation.
mera kilo khoon bhar gaya hai.
abhi bahir gaya tha aur gari dust say bhar gae hai
sooch reha tha awee time zaya kiya.
After your comment i feel it worth the effort
Jazak Allah

waqar bhai "thanks" na bola karo bhai
apnahiet nahi lagti hai
cant avoid dust just by detailer wipe or wax sealer can reduce it

@Durrani_45

[ahmad_yar]

Wow guys was not expecting this from a pro like my younger bro @ahmad_yar, thanks you have increased my life expectancy for a year:).

first of all great honor for me as u consider me ur younger brother,
u gave me this honor but at same time take back that honor from me by saying "thanks "
secondly brothers have right on each others so hukam kyia kareen app dear tahir bhai:)
thirdly u have big misunderstanding about me so using word "pro" for me , trust me i am not pro
even i am sure i cant make toyota pearl white col such pure white as u did so pro is u dear bhai jan
Allah app ko lambi sehat wali zindagi dae (ameen )and we all on car care thread can learn detailing tips from u

[ahmad_yar]

Ahmed Bhai, finally applied Ultimate paste wax for a first time, it makes bright n shine, I was using #26 before which makes darker color tone. Btw
How do you clean supreme shine cloth? Wax dried out on cloth and even after wash with ice shampoo it's still not remove completely.

pleased to hear outcomes of ultimate wax
dip ur microfibers in any liquid hand wash solution for couple of min than rinse with open water
u can also use any desi soup, like sufi soap

Yep who says white has no reflections, you got very very nice reflections that too on white. I think white has started to "Bling" a lot. And I know @hamza_xeg bro for such reflections on white to be at par with black one has to almost put in double effort on detailing
