Awesome work bro. Car is really silky smooth. Love the depth.
Wanted to ask that how did you manage to keep the drill steady at one speed?
@ahmedyar
Ahmed bhai great work as always. I really like this colour on the cruiser when it is detailed properly, It gives out a very nice pearl effect.
And Hats off to your stamina.

Meri tou 2-3 wax layers ker kay bas ho jaati hai:P

• In theory, dedicated sealants are designed to bond better directly on bare paint

but practically our ustaads n v1 as well have been suggesting to apply sealant over the wax

infact even on my car @vague_one first compounded then dodo wax n then sealed it with the sealent

Bro my drill has a lock, you pull the trigger to the desired speed and press the lock button, the drill will maintain that speed.

There is also an advantage that the wax masks some of the defects, the wolfgang sealant has little masking capabilities

Members I need a good polish for my car. It's white.
There are some swirl marks also. I think by applying polish they can be removed.
Which polish should I use? Turtle wax ice seems a fine product. I need polish not a wax. Need to bring some shine and depth in the paint. After polish I will apply a coat of super hard shell wax .
Waiting for suggestions.

That is some stamina how do you get to the roof of suv ? I don't think standing on door base gives you that reach and stability?

Easiest is to stand on the rear tyre for the back portion an I usually use the sunroof for the front portion...

Thanks Usman bhai, was waiting for your reply as well Completely agree with you and that's the reason I didn't opt for a black color because I knew it would be an over burden for me in the long run. I can safely do this exercise once a week Thanks again!

Is thread mai thanks bolna mana hai boss

Sealants are designed for primary protection and secondary looks and are typically slated to last 4-6 months minimum. Waxes on the other hand are designed for more looks and lesser protection and (leaving the hybrids aside) last for 1-2 months. So, a product meant for protection needs to be applied closest to car's skin i.e. bare paint. And if you are going sealant over a wax, you are still almost looking at a durability of layer underneath it (wax in this case). Keep in mind waxes have a lot of oils and therefore dont let the sealant cure/bond properly to last longer.

There isn't really a right or wrong combo here. If you are somebody that loves detailing and trying out different things and do it frequently, durability isn't really a concern. But results/studies have shown that, Wax over a sealant is a durable combo compared to vice versa. Either way, products should be let to cure fully before layering. At times, products of the same brand are less forgiving if you layer them prior to full cure. Some (infact most of) the products also have solvents in them as well that will do some cleaning along with the layer it'll put so a lot of times you are removing the layer below by layering (specially if its not fully cured).

I hope this sheds some more insight to waxes/sealants combos and cure times.

After the failure to Clean the dried salts and dirt with diluted APC, which had hardened as ROCK !! I tried cleaning it with the Liquid Clay + Tooth Brush + (----------) .
These were the salt + dirt deposits accumulated in the passage of 2years and 4 months
