how to you manage to wash/clean the rolla engine bay ?
i am so very afraid of washing the engine bay that i might end up ruining the electric circuit of the car.
guidance neeeded

Bro it's simple...properly cover the electric components with plastic bag. Use spray gun with mixture of wash n wax and spray everywhere on engine bay. Start cleaning with paint brush spray again and again where necessary. Wash the bay with v light pressure and dry. After that, use trim protector recommended DC Trim protector or turtle one. Use small piece of sponge with trim protector and apply everywhere. The side walls waxed by turtle. The results u already seen.

For step #2,make sure you have done step 1 thoroughly otherwise your clay would get contaminated quick.

For step 3, it has mid abbrassive so target a small test area (put paper tape to for side by side diff). Dont do it whole car. After #3,do #4 on same area to know how you will finish. If #3 is causing scratches, you would know that on a smaller area rather than whole car. Dont expect step #4 to do a lot evening of #3 scratches. Incase of #3 being difficult to achieve good results from, do #4 directly which will do paint cleansing/swirl filling.

Skip #7 as you are already doing correction #3,#4.
Skip #8 also as Sealant goes first then wax. So you could optionally do #8 after #12 (after sealant has cured for 12 hours, no water or qd exposure during curing). But i am sure you will enjoy the look of BF itself as it has warmth too.

So choose steps targeting car body first as you won't have much energy left after compounding/polishing. For sealant, go very thin.
Do other car parts(seats, glass) next day.

Sunday morning...
Usual routine!
Looked at the car and saw that the skin was dry- abb detailer wipe sey kaam nahin chalney wala.
The surface felt lightly rough so while having breakfast i thought of the recipe i was going to use.
First washed the car with turtle wax rinse free wash and wax with the double bucket method.
Who said you cant wash a heavily soiled car! Just rinse your mitt more often..
Dried with a mf. Took out a bottle of zymol cleaner wax. Although some may disagree, i think it has a lovely scent (coconut and heaven :P). It really made a difference- the surface was smooth, slick and swirls were almost gone! The only downside was that it ha a powdery residue.
Then i gave a 3 hour break and continued. Sprayed rinse free wash mixture from a spray bottle and wiped off with a mf. Then applied Meguiars ultimate paste wax to make that deep look last and give even more crisp, wet reflections!
Forgive me for the wheel arches..
Total time taken 3.5 hours
Please say MashAllah!

Thanks. InshAllah next weekend dodo purple haze ka coat lagoun ga..
Btw- the zymol cleaner wax is superb stuff. It has loads of carnauba, beeswax, cononut extracts and polishing oils... Cleans very well too, soon will post pics of its outcomes on white..
Actually, i followed your style- few weeks of nuba and then seal the beauty with a synthetic..
Nice dp btw..
