Car Care and Detailing Dreams (Part 2)

[vickybhai]

A simple question
When i waxed my car for first time, i felt that dirt did not stick to it even after 2 weeks but now i waxed my car again and i can see dirt sticking just after two days...
Why is that so???

I want to ask something from the detailing experts.
How to permanently remove swirl marks from the body of the car? Can they be permanently removed or is it just for a while?

Detailer wipe with meguiars. Wax is still beading excellent after around 2 weeks which is decent for a natural wax in my use

Detail level : Omar achieved ! MashAllah ! Looks the part nikkay !

Just a wash + tyre gel + plastic cleaning (minor scratches and imperfections not visible here).

swirl marks can be removed depending on the condition of your paint by cleaner waxes, compounding and wet sanding, wet sanding nd compounding completely removes swirls, now its up to you to maintain the finish, if you use microfibre cloths properly, clean it safely etc then no swirl marks would come back any time soon

Washed the carpets, cleaned the pedals and applied the solution to the rest of the interior, wiped with a microfibre.

All Gurus... I have a question, though I already asked from some gurus already on phone, but thought to ask here again to benefit other members..

question is " CAN I USE CLAY BAR ON WIND SCREENS AND DOOR WINDOWS??? " and " IF CLAY LUBRICANT IS NOT AVAILABLE WHICH SOLUTION WE CAN USE WITH CLAY BAR??"

[hamza_xeg]

meguiars super degreaser is best, it can be used on engine undercarriage and interior, its supposed to be diluted according to your liking , for interior it needs to be heavily diluted, it comes in 1 gallon and it is pretty economical, use a degreaser that you can dilute with water, stp you can't dilute, ideally you should be using interior or upholstery cleaner, if on budget astonish has that

Meguiars isn't available in abbottabad, I shall look for astonish, thanks for your input.

yes clay bar can be used, why do you need to clay windows? do a baggie test and see if it has contaminants or hard water spots, there are dedicated clay bars for auto glass however these are quite interchangeable and only time i would think twice would be if the clay bar was aggressive,
you can use any spray detailer as clay lube such as meguiars ultimate detailer etc

can dodo juice purple haze be applied with bare hands and if so can somebody please highlight the method?

Since dodo juice purple haze is a soft wax, dodo juice recommends applying it with bare hand. There is no harm in using an applicator pad but since the wax is so soft it is very easy to over-apply.
Heres how i do it- spread out with fingers in lines and then even out with an applicator pad. Let it haze and buff off to the deepest shine possible. This thing does wonders provided your prepped your base properly.

If you want to apply with bare hands- here's how dodo recommends it. Dodo Juice - Apply by hand.

Yes, you can. Clay bars can be used on basically any hard, even surface. If you dont have clay lube, use a detailer spray, if you dont have that, a wash and wax shampoo mixture should provide enough lubrication but dont apply alot of force

Yes I use microfibre cloths, only Meguiars, and now my cars get washed and waxed at home, they don't go to the brutal service stations anymore. I have 2 cars which are as follows, kindly guide me for each.

1. 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer: The car is with us since day 1, its color is Purplish Gray Mica. Over the time because of usage of cheap dusters and car covers by drivers many prominent swirl marks have appeared on the body as well as the glasses. How do I cure all of this? I wanted to get it done from Detailing Crew but they only operate in Lahore and I am in Islamabad, so what should I do now? What products should I buy? Below is the picture of the car.

2. 2010 Toyota Prius: We bought this car in Jaunary 2014. The color is Barcelona Red Metallic. Since then I have only used genuine Meguiars products on it but a few times in my absence, the foolish drivers used the cheap duster on the car and one a-hole just wiped the dust off without washing the car. Because of these incidents, it too now has swirls prominent upon close look and at night. What should I do about this one? Below is its picture.
