Car Care and Detailing Dreams (Part 2)

[mhaderaziz_official]

This is my Civic EG. I detailed it 5 days ago using "Turtle Wax Hard Wax" and "Turtle Wax Black Car Polish Magic Shine". It took me 3 hours. The results were like a mirror but the pictures don't show the actual result.

Anyways, some pictures....

you can easily get the desired results by detailing a new or 1 or 2 year old car but the real tough work is to get good results by detailing 8-10 year old car. I bought liana 06 model (9 year old model from now) and done detailing by using only cosmic wax and here is what i get.

Nice result, what product did you use?

I think detailing a Mehran is the hardest thing as it takes a lot of effort to get good results. Anyways this soapdish I purchased in Mar 2013 as a second car for local duty had been standing and gathering dust mostly and it was driven around 3,000 kms in two years. It was just given a splash of water when washing the porch and my little son wiped off with peela kapra. Sometimes I took it to my office and get it washed with F1 shampoo.

The car was extensively used as a daily runner and had three trips of Faisalabad between Jan to end April. It was never polished or waxed.

Today it also did not get any claying or waxing as both these products I have yet to procure

Here are the steps and products I used:

1. Splash water to remove dust
2. Poured a few drops of Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss and plain water one bucket and in another plain water
3. Dipped the mitt in shampoo and wiped it over the body starting from the roof
4. Rinsed the mitt in plain water bucket and then again dipped in shampoo bucket and cleaned panel by panel
5. Rinsed off shampoo with hose. Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss left a nice clean and shining surface. (H)
6. Used Meguiar's Water Magnet towel to wipe of the water. What a treat. Everyone must have this towel. :):)
7. Then I decided to experiment and used Meguiar's quick detailer. Voila it started enhancing reflections.
8. Cleaned the interior with Meguiar's Quick Interior Detalier and sealed it with Meg's Ultimate Protecant. It was hard.o
9. Used Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel on tires and they looked wet black and shining. It's a must have product. Not only it gives black velvet look to tires but it also makes them almost waterproof. Water does not stay on tire walls so no spotting or staining occurs and tires remain clean even after if you drive through rain water or through an overflowing gutter water

Here is the product line used on Mehran

After

I also use megs water magnet and it really works wonders. Top class product.

Does anyone know that what is the size of water magnet towel included in the meguiar's new car kit? Is it same to the water magnet towel sold separately or less?

It's 22x30 inches. Don't know what size comes in new car kit.

[nasirjavaid]

I think both are same size. I am using from new car kit.

One more thing, it lasts for weeks, months or years? In case of 2-3 washes per week.

@akramsalman.164 uv waxed your car there is shine but it lacks gloss and depth! your car needs compound polish to get that depth!

Don't know, they are pretty durable. Do not wash them in surf, just used liquid hand wash to clean them as surf will deteriorate their dust attraction properties.

Compound or claying?

Thanks for the answer.

killing it with Silver

I thought that applying more wax will give me a better result. Next time I'll apply less and only a thin layer.
Thanks for the suggestion

Wash, Wax and Polish
Yes, there was some wax stuck to the door edges and near the bumper edges. I have removed the excess easily but yes, removing the wax from the body was very, very hard. It took me a lot longer than I expected.
Thanks for the suggestions, I will implement on them when I detail my other car (also black ).

No No No..
Wash, Polish (kabhi kabhi) and WAX (regularly)

A polish will remove your wax and does not have protection.

[awais.9]

no one? @dynamicallystatic

[aamirq]

@autophile the car lacks compound! compound will add depth and clarity and at the sametime smoothen it out if there is a rough layer on top which can be felt while waxing or just by running ur hand over the body of the car! i dont think so claying will be that effective compared to compound! although claying does remove stuff like oxidation etc etc but it isnt as abrasive as having compound polish done on the whole car followed by a coat of wax!
