Car Care and Detailing Dreams (Part 2)

[omarabdullah022]

I want it too for my car matts..
they are not dirty but have little bit of dirt them as i dnt have a vacuum cleaner to suck the dirt out..
so Naheed at bahadurabad?? right!!
do you the xact cost..

yar omar i also want some brushes for tires & rims from where i can have them..

yep.. naheed has it for 175 or 650ml.

for the front face of the rims, use detailing brushes, for the area behind the spokes, there are special brushes like these-

for tires and wheel arches use a shoe brush.
I have a cheap, crappy version of this which splashes the stuff everywhere but it gets the job done.

I am generally a very silent viewer of this thread, however a regular reader. It taught me a lot in term of detailing and actually motivated to keep my car clean and SHINY !! I got my new 2nd Gen Prius (2010) a couple of months ago and after reading this entire thread, decided to visit @ahmed_yar bhai to get essential items.

I never even take pictures after detailing however this time i thought.. why not.. may be I will be able to help somebody or get some help rather

Products & Method

Exterior
- Washed with Meguiars Wash n Wax (double bucket method using wash mitt)
- First rinsed the whole car with water and then rinsed all panels using a washmitt.
- Used different wash mitt for lower panels, which were PRETTY DIRTY !!!
- Went through every panel thrice to ensure that no dirt is left
- Dried the car with small lint micro fiber (got it from Metro, it dries the entire car without having to squeeze the MF)
- Open all doors and cleaned door jambs and other small areas around it
- After drying, applied very thin coat of Meguiars Ultimate Paste Wax and left it to haze for 15 minutes after applying it on entire car
- Buffed with provided Micro Fiber and gave another wipe of the other side for shiny finish
- Applied the same wax of RIMs and buffed off same as above
- Treated all exterior rubbers (wiper and other ones) with Meguiars HyperDressing (1:3 Ratio)
- Treated all plastic trims and number plates with Meguiars HyperDressing (1:3 Ratio)
- Treated types and wheel wells with Meguiars Hyper Dressing as well (1:3 Ratio)

Interior
- Thoroughly vacuumed every inch of mats and areas under the mats
- Wiped all plastic with Meguiars APC (1:15 Ratio)
- Dressed with Meguiars HyperDressing (1:3 Ratio)
- Treated all rubbers around the doors with Meguiars Hyper Dressing

Complete process took me around 4 hours.. is it normal ?? or am I exerting too much ????????????

@mkamranasif excellent job on both interior and exterior and yes it does take that long to do a "detailed" job on the interior. and do share and be regular, it helps to learn and others learn as well, oh and a bit aggressive ratios:P
congrats on the car and by the way the rear tyres are different from the front? not all are yokos:P

[jadoon1992_vxlimited]

@mkamranasif: excellent work.

@omarabdullah022 how many bucket method are you using to wash the car, its morning today still not washed yet? can't wait for after pics:)

[omarabdullah022]

Washed with turtle rinse free as there is no access to a hose where it is parked now and there are two fat undetailed cars parked behind her.

Washed with the double bucket method and gave another detailer wipe. There is still water beading but no glassy touch and killer depth like before. Detailing time soon..

I started using the garry dean wash method to wash the car but all of them are so dirty these days that a few swipes and the wash mitt becomes poison:P

cleaned the dirt that gets stuck in the little markings on the tyres and the pattern on the sidewall

wheel ornament looking good not perfect, the spots that are left are not dirt but rust, it really got quite rusted while it was in karachi but at my last detailing with this car and this detail i managed to remove quite a bit of it

a ref pic this was the state of it before any treatment

Bhatti sahab....khaaaair hay ! Itnay shots laga rahay hain ! Clean clean execution....though any sort of treatment for the paintwork on the alloys ? How are they looking now ? Protection runnin ok on them ?
