Car Care and Detailing Dreams (Part 2)

[abari]

Bro....MashAllah for the purchase....indeed shes a looker.....what sort of maintenance are you looking to keep on the ride ? How much time can you belt out for it ? What sort of looks are you aiming to get out of the car ?

We do not see a response for help rather other questions which speak for itself. If the person does not want to help then should not respond. Perhaps it is to show some expertise/technicalities to impress others.

Son1c Phoenix wax.. Nice and tall beads.. Very hydrophobic

MashaAllah. I saw son1c wax's video about this wax on youtube. It had awesome sheeting and beading even after 1 month. Do post a review.

A waterless/rinseless wash in a sprayer bottle would you the safest bet (to eliminiate the water/shampoo part). For the meguiars range, its this http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/g3626-ultimate-wash-and-wax-anywhere/ . There are other options in several brands and I use one from a US based brand.
APC in a sprayer bottle at a lighter dilution should help you too here. You can choose to spray on the parts or towel.
I dont think it'll have grease marks at this point which wont go away with this and would require degreaser/apc in a sprayer bottle.

Yes there is no grease, can you please share a picture of the product you are mentioning? Thanks a lot for the response though

One problem I always face after washing is that after a wash when the car is dried, from the trunk area some linea of water come out as soon as the car is moved and travels from the bumper to the ground but creates some streaks on the bumper which ruins the overall look. How to solve this issue?

just one more query, can this be used for removing routine dust, mud etc, or its just for removing greasing, oil stains????

its not to be used on exterior paint, only for grease, embedded dirt, oil stains etc, it's also pretty strong is not suitable for use anywhere in interior

btw if engine is not too dirty you can get carpex APC from hyper star lahore

You can use APC on interior trim or seats to get rid of embedded dirt but also can't be used on paint, it works good and is satisfactory for the price. If engine bay not too dirty or has oil stains then might as wel try APC which can also be used else where

Oh darn....yer onto me........I think after a combination of 1,826 pages of two detailing threads under the belt, the desire to impress is not the agenda, the desire to properly guide is more like it......Asim510 the person with the question has been an avid detailing nut.....this I believe is the second car he is posting here...the first being another Honda city of the older model...he does know his way around waxes....now since he shifted awhile ago his maintenance routine was disturbed an he really couldnt give enough time to his ride.....so bro, if that is the case we need to advise him on a wax with a longer duration and tougher protection (polymer or synthetic)...whereas if he is now able to easily go onto weekly routines, we can play around with some other waxes (natural an designer). You get where I`m hittin at ? Appreciate your concern my man.

Sure thing. This was the first water exposure. The beading pattern in rain was very consistent. Upon continous rain, the beads were forming water marbles which then rolled away clearing way for fresher beads to be formed. I flooded it with a water pipe (thank God nobody saw me testing that in rain) and it had very impressive sheeting. If the weather clears out weekend, will InshAllah wash.

No easy solution for that. Pros typically use compressed air (the one you see at service stations/oil changes) and it brings out the water from such places. Another funky approach is Microfiber madness new product Dropnetic (but then how many would you need So better is to wash the car, dry it fully (using a drying agent to ensure you're doing less towel passes) , switch on the car and move it back n forth in your porch and brake tight (which is likely to bring out drips from such areas and then you can dry again).

I use this as a drying aid, waterless washing for a couple of days dust removal and engine cleanup (for the dusty engine):

It was way better Usman sb
Thnx to ur personal interest
By d way it's hard to maintain rather than get it done once

Sir jee.....awaiting reviews on how the work was this time around....an nice follow up ! MashAllah she looks a million !

[Poisonous.Antidote]

Just got a question in my mind
Is there some sort of tool or water spray gun that can also increase the water pressure out of normal flow?
