Mashallah! Your car looks brand new! Good to see the expensive products holding up nicely!
May God bless you with health.

hmmm ... Very nice DIY ... Means I have to do this also to my polisher... I have also this one.. Kindly also post pics of your polisher....

MY DA polisher.- nothing special but it comes really handy for massaging glazes and waxes!

[omarabdullah022]

Nice share but are the locally available Velcro strips good for the job ?

Thats exactly why im hesitant to do the DIY!

[faisalayub]

MY DA polisher.- nothing special but it comes really handy for massaging glazes and waxes!

One question, Yours is DA polisher or orbital polisher, because the polisher with me on box it is written Orbital Polisher/ Waxer .... Regarding velcro strips even am also confused ...

[dynamicallyStatic]

This is the results of my effort.

The porsche looks amazingly superb MashAllah. Which sealant was this ?

Good job man!
Lovely flake pop! When was your car last compounded- i dont think it is required?
Use Ultimate Polish out of direct sunlight and buff it off after max 1 minute.- otherwise its a menace to buff off. It will enhance the flake pop

and depth tremendouly!
Remember to compound then polish and then give it a coat of wax!
After compounding and polishing, your paint is in dire need of protection. (paint sealant or wax)
Happy Detailing!

JazakAllah for liking and quick suggestion... Yes I have planned for UC then UP... actually there are swirl marks on the car skin it was compounded

by Toyota Cantt in 2012... tab itna detailing ka nahe pata tha na is thread ka warna jis tarhan se unhoo ne Rotary phera tha naa mein us ka naak

toor deta k yeh kya marks choray hain

I will do compound and polish and will post 50/50 shot

It was blackfire wet diamond.

And haha, no yaar my Corolla is above 200k kms now, three days ago it was 204585 km. The city has 238k kms as of now, lol. Both are heavily relied upon as daily driven vehicles.

Wow.....you're my role model for keeping mint cars at such high mileage. But how? Preventative maintenance? Sensible drivers :D?

[zeeshan368]

I need a clay bar and a detailer to clean the dust like every two three days... please suggest..
I have just polished with Mothers and applied Meg Gold Class Paste wax...Looks are great but not the feel..surface is rough and water spots on the the roof.

[dusama_90]

No problem bro!
What area do you live in? and what is your budget?
I might be able to guide you!

Thanks for helping me. The thing i really need guiding is of is how to clean my car in a really proper and professional way. And what products do I really need. Budget, you would see best bang for buck.

1)Meguiars gold class
2 ) Meguairs ultimate wash and wax
3) Meguairs quick detailer
4) Meguiars tire endurance gel
^ this will cost you ~7k.

The second less expensive option is
1) Turtle ice shampoo
2) Turtle platinum series paste wax
3)Turtle ice spray detailer
4) armor all tire foam

This costs 3.5k but is also very good.

If you have money- then go for the first option, otherwise the second option is also very good. Infact I've been using turtle wax since three years now and I think it really makes you apply properly. If you apply thick and uneven, good luck buffing it off:P
Anyways meguiars can be bought from optimum motorsports and turtle can be bought from naheed supermarket and saca autos.

Haha lol... Never heard of such a role model before Well dude double oh "myy" (I prefer calling you that owing to the skills you possess (H)), its nothing fancy. All we do is drive carefully and pay off what the car delivers all day.

There isn't much you can "prevent" from happening to the exterior appearance of the car (besides cleaning properly and avoiding accidents). So I am not quite sure what to say here.

Driver's aren't sensible and these cars don't have a streaky clean history either. Just that when we aim to revive them, we do it with passion. And the cars speak for the effort done on them.

@RollOnBigMaMa

Loved your work on your cars. It was great and a treat to watch.

Seeing this thread after a long time so didnt have time to go through all the pages but so far it is looking quite good. Very relaxing and inspiring to see everybody works. Great work:)

Thanks Arhum bro, where is your blackie at? Long time no posting here

Great work masha allah

Thanks!

Great work buddy, its a really nice thing that you have worked so hard on your cars and shown such great love, always keep it up and feel happy doing it.
I would like to say that you should now get a pressure washer and a good sealant product for the cars. You put in a lot of hard work and you really need to secure it using sealant. Waxes are good but don't protect much. I am not saying quit waxing. I am just saying that after such a long and hard worked detail, use a good sealant (not necessarily an expensive brand) and then do as much waxing as you like. so that the work keeps in for a long time.
Most of the time a pressure washer will help you clean the ride much more quickly, specially after a good sealant/ long lasting wax is on the skin.
The red city is looking awesome. and so are the other rides.
When ever you feel like trying out a coat of Collinite Double Coat 476s or Finish Kare 1000p or both after a full long detail and see the results for a long time

Thanks a million times jugnoo bhaee for the long post.

Yes the pressure washer is on my list, I'll be going for Black n Decker since it comes with a foam lance. Also going for Autofinesse Snow Foam, Dodo Sealant in the near future InshALLAH.

I know the waxes don't seem to last much in our environment but I try to keep my cars waxed as far as possible. Don't have Collinite or the other one at the moment but sure I will try them all at the right time. JazakAllah! Post your civic, its been a long time since you did. Thread needs to be what it was, being an inspiration full of professional details not just wash n wax sessions.

Only detailers like you, ahmad bhai, aamir bhai and ustaad jee can make it possible.

Fawad bhai.... MASHALLAH... nice and good work.. keep it up... Flakes are also beautiful...

Thanks a lot faisal bhai. Aapki corolla se inspire ho gya hun

isy meri nazar lagy gi:$
mujy kahin sy 04 ni lagti ye

Apni cheezon ko nazar ni lagti sarkar. Be fikr rahen

Zero meter garri nikalwa kai kehtaye ho detailing ki hai :S wah sirgee alla work :*

Thanks a lot for the kind words and yes foam lance would be good addition. Keep an eye out for the quality and specially the sprayer end portion. There was one i used which could spray water as proper sheet and then when you pulled the head it sprayed in fine circular beam ? i hope you understood... Both these are good for different type of cleaning.

Btw when i said try collinite 476s or finish kare 1000p, i really meant trying them out cuz i have them pm me and we can make some plan to put some on your beloved red city or any of your other cars with your choice

@ahmad_yar bhai
Thank you for the detailing session on my wine Allion last month in lahore. The next day I did apply another thin coat of DodoJuice Purple Haze and then Supernatural acrylic detailer and shine and depth further increased! The results were
I travelled to Isb the day after and on my stopover at Bhera i did notice the car was much less dirtier than other cars parked besides which means the detailer was doing its job Also i hope ure bones are fine after that gymnastic fall. At the moment i thought lagta hai aaj hospital waalein ahmad bhai ki detailing karein gey because the 'thudd' was soo loud! Allah aap ko hamesha hifaazat mein rakhey

Ive finally finished reading both parts of the thread. Took me a few months to read up on it I would like to thankyou ALL senior & junior members for making this thread so informative and giving me OCD virus.
Today was sort off holiday for 12 rabiul awal so finally got time to do some detailing. it was my second time doing detailing (first one was wid ahmad yar bhai last month). Got some qalam made for Mira because i wanted to do some touching before I apply any sort of wax, so today I only wash car thoroughly including engine and apply qalam.

That's a great effort you put in, take care of yourself

So weather was 12C in the morning around 6am. I drove 2 hour earlier to just remove the salt out from the car as around 9am it was getting cold again. Warm water. No shampoo whatsoever. even no microfiber touched.
