yar yeh kia baat howi. khurum bhai vague nai lagta hai apki adhi inventory khareed li hai.

Let me guide you on somthing here Safdar, I started to buy my detailing stuff when I was in class 4,I went with dad down to the souk an while he was gettin chicken I wandered in the car care aisle an fested my eyes on a pack of 2 sponges, red an yellow......natural sea sponges.......bought them for a riyal of my own money an till date its goin on like crazy....right now Ive calmed down a bit because my two lil bundles of joy take up my time.......there have been times when I have spent my entire salary on detailing stuff.......my wife has thrown out shopping bags full of detailing stuff when she moved in, still it fights with her for space in the drawing room, in the bedroom, in the kids room.....even down stairs in my parents storeroom.......in the stairs......the stuff accumulated is endless......you see detailing is an itch with me....I must know what the newest thing is an if I dont I become restless an aggitated, insomniac............but I guess yer not into that scenario just yet.....I buy my stuff where I think my money is gettin its best worth, be it @khurum, be it Saca Plus, be it Autoline or be it Bashir Bhai Auto Decoration, Multan Road walay............

is say muje aerial vieww yaad aya. ap hi to keh rhe the natural and original beauty

Yes, countless arguments have taken place in the house over it as well, but I refuse to budge..........no artificial hair can make me feel good, I am what I am an dam proud of it!

wats the width? and can it be removed from car's body easily?

Think it`s easily able to cover the roof an bonnett an doors without a cut, though wait for Khurum to confirm it.......yes it can be removed from the body easily.....no harm......because the sticker Ive seen is good.....other desi versions I cant anything about...

same question here. is it harmful to the paint?

Answered above bro..

Facts n tips

• Carnauba waxes typically last between 3 to 8 weeks
• Apply your wax as thin as possible, only a microscopic layer of wax actually sits on your paint, excess wax is just wasted
• In general you should give each coat of wax 12 to 24 hours cure time
• It is best to work in the shade when applying and removing a wax
• Most waxes can benefit from 2 to 3 layers for maximum depth and gloss
• When your paint stops beading water, it is time to reapply a coat of wax

@ vag g want u to have a look at thisssssssssss very informatice pics
on mattttt for detail pics chk the link at the end

Since a few years all kind of special colors are hot. Everybody has seen lots of expensive cars in various degrees of white. Dark brown or golden brown are seen more and more. Most recently matt colors are an upcoming trend, some brands even have them in there colorlist!
This can be achieved with a wrap or as a real paint. BMW has it's Frozen Grey, Mercedes-Benz has some colours, Ford has it's RS500 finished in a matt black wrap. All of those need there special treatment to protect the very delicate finish from gloss and other damage. A stain can't be polished out so you need to protect it very well!

A matt finish can be amazing to have your car a bit more out of the ordinary. Some people buy it as a protection for the real paint and easy maintenance. But that's not really the case! A matt finish or wrap is very prone to imperfections. Using the wrong products can lead to a glossy surface, greasy stains are easily visible, fingerprints, bugs,... On top of that the matt texture holds the water and the car is not as easy to dry!

Matt finishes are very hard to maintain, I remember my civic 2000 got a matt bonnett, an it used to be a pain to maintain.......esp since there was no wax or polish for it here locally despite my searching, I used to apply dashboard polish to it an then wipe it off with moistened cloth to retain the matt effect..........JazakAllah for the share!

actually i considered this idea a few months back. i even made a thread about it. but it was risky and the stuff that was not harmful cost around 80k. well how many meters will i need and what if it rains on the cf car. wont it absorb it all. how do i maintain it and how long will it last. if my parents let me have the margalla as my personal car then i sure will do this.

[margallar]

ok will the gtg be only gupshup or will we be doing detailing. im sitting here with my brother in law who was just asking me where to get his new car waxed and i thought why not the detailing gtg. provided that we pay for the wax

[margallar]

wsay usman bai i saw that pic of cfd side mirrors and i thought that it wud look great on my dad's silver rolla

CF'ing the entire car, seems nice, one of a kind margalla for sure.

Ive clearly mentioned in the gtg that you can come, take advices, flaunt your ride and talk about any problems you're facing, im sure no one would want to detail a car and rather miss on meeting people, would look a little awkward.

why dont you help him man, you're pretty experienced, help him with his ride, and come to the gtg, what say?
