Car Care and Detailing Dreams

[vague_one]

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...

Indeed I have waited an waited for someone to pop this question for Platinum.......you never cease to amaze with yer analysis.....sir although its a natural wax, its formulated in polymers just like a synthetic......rest I`m preeeeety sure you can figure out........A good detailer spray on top will put in all the depth he needs! An Ive been using this as a glaze at times :o (guilty as charged).....works wonders.......though its just how well you can pull it off!

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.

I think optimum, but they`ll charge for handsomely!
An yes you can apply it manually by hand....an indeed if done properly it will remove the swirls........you can hide the swirls....glaze them.....remember any sort of swirl removal is possible only with abrasiveness...its not too old a car, mask the swirls an then keeep it that way through weekly waxing.

Thank you sir.. The white residue was left by mothers cleaner wax.. It was cleaned later but when i took the pictures it wasn't taken care of.. I used mothers cleaner wax and then topped it of with dodo juice purple haze...

Sir allaaaaa...bumper is brilliant...and no swirls...very very nyce...

just a small recommendation...use the dodo purple haze first and then follow it up with mothers...let the dodo bond with the paint directly...plus you should have cleaned the residue before you put the 2nd coat...just a tip

sardar sb chaa gye hoo, i am aonther lover for bumper reflections beside mistero ( omar bhai )

omar bhai cleaner waxs are usualy little abrasive and afraid if topup than it might eat dodo wax coat

most probably you are missing two things...

1. Final wipe...a very slow and steady final wipe is required after you've buffed the car and removed all the wax...

2. 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.

1. Bilal (my gari dhonay wala) removes wax n i do the final wipe wala step..

@. n for the top coat mujhey pata mairi bohat bisti honay wali lakin i mostly use Formula 1 as a top coat, jo ab mein nahn karta, N for Detailer Spray any suggestion please jo jaib friendly bhe ho...

thanks Detailing Crew seriously app logon ko bohat duain milti hon gein

[ground_zer0]

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.

subha uthtay he the first thing i do analyze my car with my shahadat wali finger aur phr andar sa ik feeling ati nahn yar maza ne ra smoothness mein dho k polish karni paray g.... iknow its stupid lakin yahe karta mein to...

bhai app ko pta bhe na ho shayad mein app ko Msgz pa bhe kafi tang karta rahta awaein fazol fazol sawal pooch k lakin u, u always answer like its ur duty.... Respest..... Thanks Brother i really appreciate

[imranhakro]

Armour All Detailer spray is the light on pocket, with flawless results...
costs Rs:560, and turtle's ultra gloss detailer costs Rs:675 which is also awsome. I use Turtle.
