Car Care and Detailing Dreams (Part 3)

[bym007]

I've tried restoring the headlights using toothpaste etc but failed!
They are hazy from inner side, which I can't fix. Need to take it to some expert!

Are they not sealed. The haze normally sets on the outside, as it faces all the elements.

Toothpaste is the lowest power scrubbing chemical. You should try wetsanding. Going to 800 to 2500 grit paper, while keeping it lubricated, and finally sealing it with Polish. I have seen headlights restored with this procedure. Hard work yes, doable definitely.

Use toothpaste with fluoride. It really works.

Waterless wash done for the first time. I was skeptical about this method at first place. I guess it's not bad, I hope that my ride remains swirl free..... Ameen.

Products used: Nano skin waterless wash, 5 mf cloths.

Here is a Black Beauty that I detailed almost 6 months ago! And also did glass coating on it!
Its a black Toyota Crown! I LOVE this car!

Pics taken from a normal cellphone camera! Detailed using all Meguiars products! This is what Meguiar's signature "Mirror" finish looks like!

This is the cutting and finishing of M105! Notice how it removed all the deep defects, whats left was removed by M205... a 50/50 shot of Before & After. (Before polishing, compound only)

And Her Majesty!

Find me!

I prefer Matte look in interior, engine bay and tires.. too much dressing is no good!

Karcher k2 pw has been added to my line up recently along with foam lance bottle. I'm using nano skin cherry suds shampoo for foam lance.

Nano skin waterless wash, dilution ratio = 4:1.

Like my mechanic takes a customer car to home at night. [emoji35]

Luckily there are almost always much better cars than mine in the workshop. [emoji48]

So I doubt if he would take my car.... [emoji41]

My Nanoskin trim dressing (Black Awesome) seems to come off after the very first wash, is this normal? I use it in the stated dilution ratio.

So my whole weekend was utilized in detailing my car, the car had a lot of swirls, scratches, holograms and whatnot. Used UC -> UP -> Ez creme glaze -> WG DGPS 3.0 -> Pinnacle SS2.
Was my first time with a DA, was a really nice experience. Maxshine DA is perfect for our soft Japanese paint. At first i was doing around 6 passes with the DA per section but then discovered that even 2 passes were enough for good correction.
The pictures are after i just waxed. Didnt get any time to take some afternoon sun shots. Would surely take them in the coming week.

Some Fantastic Results there. Pinnacle SS2 is indeed one of finest waxes out there.

Yup no doubt about that. Adds instant depth to the paint plus the ease of use is so wonderful. Is a breeze to apply and remove even if applied thick.

The depth is excellent but Gloss is great as well, Gives a wet gloss.
Will use WolfGang Fuzion now and compare.
