Car Care and Detailing Dreams (Part 2)

[bluejax]

It was small. just 350ml.. Actually its not Fairline's bottle & attachment.. Its customized to fit on my washer. 350ml was too less for my washer. As there is no air / solution adjuster on the attachment hence i cannot control the flow. When i press the trigger then it is Khulla Khaata.. the foaming solution is speedily sucked.. So i needed a bigger bottle to cover whole car in one go. Thats why i fabricated 1 liter pepsi bottle to fit in it..

Amazing, what an idea!!

Bro bought the car brand new. So this theory is out of question.

Depends what Car it is. If its a Corolla this theory can be true and i promise i have authentic information from friends inside toyota who have also shown me this, and i have seen with my own eyes how toyota repairs transit damages etc and sells them as zero meter.
If its some other car, then the theory of repaint is out of question. Don't know if Suzuki does this or not. Honda does repairs too in such cases but replaces the entire panel instead of repairing it.

The car had survived a bird attack. Got it washed from service centre with Megs ultimate wash and wax.
Parked it under the shade and tried Pinnacle Liquid Souveran wax. I haven't heard big durability claims about it but damn it produces some eye popping shine.
I'm sure it will produce better results if surface is properly prepared.
Light coat of Endurance gel on tyres to get the matte effect.

Please say MashAllah.

Yes they all do, Toyota repairs the same panel while Honda replaces the panel instead of repairing it. Thats the only difference.

Dear it is a 2010 model. it has remained with me for the last 5 years. had it been repainted it would have shown its true colors long before. drove the car yesterday in rain and no rust appears which indicates that metal is not exposed yet. what i am going to do is that i ll apply a drop of paint from 3s so that the there arise no issues of paint code and then after it get dried i will use any abrasive or get it wet sanded followed by polish.
pl correct me if i am wrong in the above planned modus operandi. waiting for useful feedback pl

3S is not necessary for this procedure, usually the stupid 3S people are horrible with matching paints. You need a good reputed painter who may not be from 3S but just an expert. INH Lahore is awesome in doing such jobs with Mercs and Beamers. Its not just paint alone that can be sanded. What they usually do is apply base to that specific patch or scratch which needs touching before applying paint with a brush or pad as paint touching alone will get scratched and cant be sanded to make it even since paint is not a filler.

I have some good relations with the staff out there at 3S hence they do my work on priority and with extreme care. 2ndly in the pics the spot looks bigger but in actual it is like a quarter of a thumb nail hence a drop of paint will suffice i guess. your say please

[zainiqbal1990]

Washed my 86 Accord. Water with pressure then Snap shampoo and in the end drying using a microfiber cloth. Wish i had a proper polishing machine. Plus it's oil paint. Previous owner used oil paint to save a little money. I had applied turtle wax few days ago. Waxing by hand is a tough job so 4 doors, both the rear fenders and roof is yet to be waxed.

All companues replace

There are many in market .... Homelite, makita, black and decker , AR blue clean and most pathetic of all karcher. I would suggest to go for makita , very durable than karcher crap.

Karcher is a very good brand. If it can bear heavy duty jobs every single day, it should do just fine at home..
Almost all of the detailing studios in pakistan are using karcher including detailing crew.

Did you have a bad experience or what?
