good results, did u wet the hardshell applicator pad?

yeah, used a spray bottle. Sprayed some water on the wax as well before taking it off, made the job easier.

Thank you brother, Inshallah my next purchase wud be a good glaze.
can u please suggest me which glaze should i buy? (which Company & its expected price) and i'll appreciate if u post its pic for easy reference.

Plus, how often should i use glaze? I mean is it ok if i use glaze twice a month?
Since i am novice in this detailing thing, i am afraid if i ruin the paint of my new car:P Hope its easy to apply.

Use glaze whenever the shine diminishes......yea sure twice a month is ok, no problem.....dear you cant ruin your car with high grade professional products....rest i`ve answered in the review

HP 19 Turtle Wax Crystal Polymer Glaze

Brought from: Saca Plus on Montgomery Road

Price: Rs.475 per consumer pack (Approx 10 applications.To be used in a state of dilution)

Good: Ultimate protective treatment for clear coat finishes. Locks on a mirror-like, weather-tight layer of protection to guard sensitive clear coat finishes from elements.Contains exclusive Sun Stop® to help protect your car's finish from the harmful effects of the sun's U.V. (Ultra Violet) rays.......what I really noticed was the pearl effect in the paint really came on top.....secondly the swirls vanished.....lastly as I was walking back to the parked car, I was oogling reflections on the rides parked alongside.......an there was no comparison........it was a posh area........an the rides were gleaming but the glazed ride was in a class of its own.....so thumbs up..!

Usage:This is a product from Turtle`s professional range of detailing stuff, so can be used with rotary or by hand......I applied with hand using foam, the mixture was left to dry.......leaving a sticky surface which was then topped off with Turtle Wax ICE synthetic wax.......to seal it an protect it..!!

Verdict: A must have for that shine you dream about on yer ride!!

Any suggestions for which polish should be used on WHITE COLOR to give it the best shine and gloss. I got CITY in TAFFETA WHITE.
Awaiting reply . . .

What year is yer car? If its a new one, please dont polish it now.....just wax it an keep it protected....if its an older model then go for the Meg Deep Crystal Polish, Auto Glym Super Resin.....both work well for the gloss an shine......

Did my first detailing session ever today. Used Turtle Ice liquid clay bar first. Then turtle wax hardshell. Plastics were treated with f21. It took more time than I could have anticipated, started at after juma prayers and finished at 6.30. Probably took so much time cause I was doing it alone. Sorry for crappy pictures, I am not good with the camera. And it was night so reflections (the little ones i was able to get) cant be seen properly.

Please suggest improvement/tips cause i am gonna be doing my other car on sunday.

Masha`Allah bro, for a first timer very nice results indeed!!The reflections are very nice, the paint has got the spark in it.....alooootttttttta white going on in the thread these days....The procedure you used is correct....good to know someone did their homework before the detail......bro claybar takes a loooooooooooota time. I do it in like 6 or 7 hours alone.....till each panel is silky smooth, no letting go!!! You can glaze the ride for extra shine or polish it...

We really need rain in Lahore so please do pray , its a powder like dust , getting every where & red lady is also under the protective layer of this powder , as per Chief @vague advise I am going to check how much this dust is protecting the under coat shine , I am gona give a simple , plane water bath , no shampoo , no wax ,
Just water and dry it with Micro fiber.

[accord7362]

Thanks to Chief @Vague for his magical coat he did on friday 28th October , the shine even enhanced , I did speed wax on 1st November & below pic's are after simple , plain water wash
