Car Care and Detailing Dreams (Part 2)

@ biloo could we use this polish as a sealant it says it seals the paint

I think it is a polish. A polish means that it contains small abrasives in it which help to remove swirls and contaminants from your paint .i thnk ul be needing a DA polisher to apply it . Top it up with a good wax/ sealant at the end.

Guys i need tips regarding how to remove rust marks from mehran's factory fitted steel rims.

[dynamicallyStatic]

Don't speak for hours on cross brands I don't wanna waste your calories just suggest me a sealant and clay bar economical ones and 3m rubbing compound is better or megs ultimate compound?

Ultimate compound is definitely better.
3m clay bar is really good but the Meguiars and mothers bars you see are good too.
For sealant, what's the budget and car color ?

Waxes have natural oils in them bro and the mf cloth gets sme amount of the residues n it after a gud wax session. I use dodo light fantastic for white colour and purple haze for black colour.
Yup, i have neve been satisfied by quick detailers.

Not in agreement with your theory. Defies facts and established practices. Dry dusting will swirl. May be after a fresh coat of wax the dust on car is too slippery to remove with dry towel but a few days later you have to do some running to remove it. And doing that over and over results in spider webs.
For me, I consider it a waste of QD to be using it for dust removal on a routine basis. So I use waterless wash products which tend to be cost effective.

Any recommendations for the Meguiaire's new car kit? Is it good, so so, or not recommended?
Also, its for sale in another thread for Rs.4400. Is that a good price?

Thanx for the suggestion bro...yeah its a tough job , my car is three years old n it requires bit of a passion to maintain her in lahore city ..
And, some recommendations from my side as wel. Polishing a new car is not a very good idea unless it has alot of swirls on it after getting manufactured and to seal a new paint its better to wait for a mnth atleast . They say new paint expands n contracts and bonds to surface and as sealant is like a sheet on paint , it interferes with new paint processes
Cheers

Yeah its a tough job and you need passion to maintain black rides, but Not for you, as you are not maintaining it, you are just keeping is dust free and that too by a wrong method. The word maintaining means = Keeping it the way it is,, But you are inducing swirls on her daily,, So dont use the word maintaining in your case
Regarding the recommendations you just mentioned : these are ill-logical recommendations.
The finishes we have today, everything is cured and ready before it leaves the factory. Paint is NOT the the last thing to be done on car.. Its the first thing an un-assembled car gets. The Chasis / Body is painted and cured, and then its sent up to the assembly line up belt to start the assembling. So by the time the car gets to the 1st customer, it had already been around a month since painted. Even if it hadnt been a month, The assembled car is ready to go right out of the factory since its paint is baked at such high temps.

The point which you mentioned goes correct If it is a repaint, then you need to wait at least a month before applying sealant. Like being painted in open sky like 95% of workshops here do!!!

Secondly bro, the best case scenario is to make the paint swirl free before sealant, hence the need of light polishing comes. Polishing removes light swirls and leave a smooth finish to be sealed. Visit any Honda / Toyota etc dealership and you,ll see swirls on those brand new show cars parked nicely inside the dealership.

I suggest you try this at night when the body is cold to avoid egg buildup on the body. As a precaution, you can rinse using cold water as well.

Also to add long lasting shine, apply a good conditioner and allow it to sit for a good 5-10 minutes before rinsing.

For best results, avoid using the conditioner more than once a week.

Dont forget to share the before and after pictures.

Someone on the forum told me that
1.wash
2.clay
3.compound
4.polish
5.sealant
6.wax is it the right pattern for detailing?
