@ kse101

Jobe well done... keep it neat - clean and shiny all the time... i love to see such a neat and well kept cars.

Also, Turtle Ice Shampoo is for sure the best available. it itself add a shine to the washed car.

Only one question.
Where did you get the meguiars microfibre towel in lahore?

Mistero (Mistero) 2011-12-29 15:21:20 +0500 #6796

most probably you are missing two things...

Final wipe...a very slow and steady final wipe is required after you've buffed the car and removed all the wax...
Use a top coat with a detailer plus give it atleast one mid week detailer wipe and you should not have a problem. I make my sasta wax last all week to the last bling. I normally do the detailing on Sunday, top coat on Monday...Mid week detailer wipe or a shampoo wash on Wed and then again a detailer wipe on Friday. Try this regime and you'll get a blinging car all week long.

Another thing could be that your car surface might not be fully prepped up for wax...what shampoo are you using...when have you last clayed your car? Could be that the wax is not bonding to the paint.

Mistero (Mistero) 2011-12-29 15:30:55 +0500 #6797

Kse...you absolutely CREWED it

before I give any more comments...tell me honestly what do you think as to what kind of a job have you done in terms of how your car looks...after all you did bring her home two months brand new...so how does it look now...better than new...yeah?

and this is just with shampoo and wax...imagine what you can do with your entire arsenal once its here...

Get a lot of MFs...avoid putting in swirls...your's is a new car.

I chose this pic as my fav...cause I can't bloody tell the color of the car in this one...it's soooo blinging oh btw...avoid the machine for the time being...

For the camera...you want a point and shoot or a DSLR...lemme know your budget and I'll recommend you the best within that range

Mistero (Mistero) 2011-12-29 15:56:58 +0500 #6798

Vague one...a question for you...

Kse's car...the job is very nicely done and the reflections are too good...but they are more towards the flat mirror type of reflections...you know that depth and that drippy drooly wet look is missing. Could this be due to the fact that maybe the Turtle Wax platinum he is using has a formulation which is more on the synthetic side and less on the natural side. You know that invisible glass coat seems like missing...

Kse try doing a second coat with a natural carnauba on top of this one...and I assure you the result is going to be out of this world...you'll be adding tremendously to this arleady present brilliant blinging shine you've got. hmmm...maybe this wax you've got can be a good alternative for a glaze coat...let's see...

where to get meguiars swirl x from karachi??
vague bhai and other crew members can this product be applied by hand to get rid of swirls from my corolla 2010,black?
any other solution to get rid of swirls? currently applying turtles wax twice a month .it provides shine and the wax slippery feel but swirls remain.

vague_one (vague_one) 2011-12-30 01:07:41 +0500 #6800

I think Mistero got that one for you, thanks mate! But I want to know how your judging the car needs a re-wax? What factors are you looking at when you make this deduction.

vague_one (vague_one) 2011-12-30 01:12:30 +0500 #6801

Brother, very nice work on the car, I know its only two months old, but thing here is the colour is a messy one, first issue with this colour is you dont get reflections on outrageous scales.....so points for that, secondly for this afar I see now swirls.....so thats a pointer as well.......the shine is very smooth.....colour has depth.......MashAllah....good work for a beginner....happy to know you took yer time, waited for the proper products an then went on to detail! Keep the regime up, an you`ll have it looking the works years down the line!
