Car Care and Detailing Dreams (Part 2)

[ibadaslam872]

Yeah i noticed that too as my swift interior is darker than this

His car is brand new. The interior has nearly no dirt on it. Your car is probably a bit older.. The dust content might've caused it to change color.

this was my car interior when it was just 300 driven

[vague_one]

Recently did some interior cleaning of my Bilori

2nd last Sunday was worst in terms of load shading so couldn't do anything in morning
but luckily got back bijli gee in afternoon so decided to do quick interior cleaning of
my Bilori Vitz

1) Started with vacuum cleaning of whole interior
2) Gave a wipe of Meguiars APC Plus with dilution ratio 15:1 ( 15 part water and 1 part APC Plus )
3) Meguiars Hyper Dressing on interior plastic , vinyl and rubber trims as well as exterior black trims
with dilution ratio 2:1 ( 2 parts water and 1 part Hyper Dressing )

Meguiars Hyper Dressing is versatile dresser having flexibility of different water dilution ratios as per ur mood and taste

High Gloss 1:1
Medium Gloss 2:1
Satin Finish 3:1
Natural Finish 4:1

I personally like matt looks of interior and slight shine on exterior black trims but since car interior was neglected
from many months and interior vinyl , plastic and door rubbers were very dry so i opted bit stronger ratio of Meguiars Hyper Dressing i.e 2:1.

Meguiars Hyper Dressing did excellent work and in below pics u can see how this product nourish and enrich dried
and neglected car Vinyl, plastic and rubber trims and bring them back in life.

Being water based Meguiars Hyper Dressing is safe for frequent use without any involvement of cleaners or harsh chemicals

Now for routine maintanence i will follow up with very mild ratio of 4:1 only or maz max 3:1 as 2:1 ratio gave bit shiny finish
Being concentrate its quite economical for e.g i used 2:1 ratio means 2 part water and 1 part Meguiars Hyper Dressing i.e by 250ml Hyper Dressing i add 500 ml water total 750ml Hyper dressing solution means just Rs.109 / 250 ml even more economical if u like satin finish or matt looks

and last point its water based so even can apply in hot surface ( based on my personal experience haha )

MashAllah Ahmad bhai.....Fab work done there ! Looks the clappers ! An billori has gone grades up now.......10 A plus hota hai ? This might set the bar though ! Keep it fun !

dust storms dirt car

today finally it stopped

was in roza so just washed and waxed and used megs hyper dressing on tyres nothing majour

btw this is just one hour detail

[hamza_xeg]

Hamza, MashAllah,neat maintenance done on yer ride....waisay wakat aa chuka hai keh aap thora game ko uper karain! Nae? Koi thorri himmat marain aur kuch multi stage processess to farmain?

thanks alot paajee ! you are right I do need to step up the game, lately I am becoming lazy but will change these habits, the thing is mostly the car is with my dad in ISB so he gets the car washed from service station and all the hard work I do on the paint is gone to hell, I even at one point gave up detailing and was throwing away my products but thanks to this thread and you guys I realized I was being an imbecile and decided not to give in.

And btw new car doesn't need interior cleaning ?

Bro, it depends on how dirty it is! My car has only 100 kms on the clock and that too with A/C on. Barely any dirt.
Both Megs quik interior detailer and turtle ice interior care have mild cleaners which help in cleaning the interior. You dont find these in Megs hyper dressing so you should clean with apc first and then dress the interior.

If the interior is extremely dirty like the corolla i did a few pages ago, then you'll have to clean with apc first and then dress it. In short Meguiar quik interior detailer is an AIO (all in one) product..

MashAllah! Bacha konuh mai ghuss raha hai ! Goooud ! Get into them little nooks an crannies ! These are indeed the fine pointers that make a detail worthwile ! Even as far as Dc goes.....I can go through a cruiser in the decon an correctional stages in about 1.5 hours...jab baat ati hai Finishing ki.....buss....mahool kuch aisa hota hai keh paper kay akhri 5 minutes hoon aur poura sawal para hoo......frantic ! Yeh bhi kar lo...woh bhi kar loo !

JazakAllah for liking! It means alot to me!
You work very fast! It took me 2 hours on this corolla. Khair, i need more experience to go that fast!

Koi masla nahin. It takes less than a minute to learn this stuff.
Apc is All Purpose Cleaner. As the name suggests it can be used anywhere. It is diluted as per your requirements ( i like 1:10 for the exterior and 1:15 for the interior).
It works like this- You spray on, it loosens the dirt and grime, you agitate and it foams up lifting the dirt, you wipe off or rinse off and you're left with a clean surface.

Brother why interior is whitish ?

RAMADAN KAREEM

Yeah i noticed that too as my swift interior is darker than this

It looks whitish because of the flash. Have a closer look at the steering wheel in the 1st pic.

Ohh just noticed it now

Aoa
Is it would be alright to use turtle wax polishing compound for the removal of swirls and minor scratches from 1 year old white paint.

Voa
This stuff didnt work out for me.
I suggest you buy megs ultimate compound instead and top it off with meguiars white wax.

i have only used that green presoak, that was fuzoole, then i got 3m presoak which was really nice, lets see how the megs one turns out, megs is so cheap now that there really is no need to go turtle

True. Megs is much better value for money. I got turtle presoak for 1.5k per litre and I have to dilute it 1:4 for dirty undercarriages whereas I got megs apc under 1k per litre and it easily works when diluted 1:10.

ok thanx

[devils_smile]

Nearly 3 months after the full detail and still getting loads of beading. Plus the dark tint due to the Blackfire Sealant looks stunning. Just a routine wash with AG conditioner. Sorry coudnt take pics inbetween.

The interior was done with AG Vinyl & Rubber car + ArmourAll upholstery cleaner

Mind you, I used a crappy cellphone camera to capture these. Didnt have a proper cam near me.
