Lahore GTG 2012 - January 8th.

Following is the picture i like the most.

Check out the dual reflections. The detailing is so fine that it is capturing the reflections within the reflection.

I went nuts on the same picture as well.. freaking awesome reflections.. realllll sick.. (y)

[ahmad_yar]

Bhayio! here are some pics of my first detailing. Detailing was done by hand application, as advised by guru ji (vague1) is liye her circular movement pe "DUA" nikalti thi guru ji k liye ..... Also there were some shortcuts in the end kyun k uss waqat tak 'buj hi gai thi (BAND)' :-#

BEFORE DETAILING

Used 2000 grit paper for scrubbing

Used Maguires ultimate compound and Mag NXT

POTENTIAL DETAILERS

Mashallha first detailing main hee dhamaka !! great work gee and Allha results by potential detailers

[ahmad_yar]

JazakAllah sir jee, aap to baray bhai hain, no biggie! Hope you like the work done on it!

usman bhai hole kahan gyia ?:o replace the "shisha "?:S
Jazakallha for such kind and helping nature

[ahmad_yar]

Usman aka Dr. Detailing helped me detail my ride yesterday.. rather i must say he detailed it pretty much by himself.. it was a wonderful day.. we worked alot on the car.. the car under discussion is a 1996 Toyota Corolla XEG.. as you may have noticed before it was mentioned here a couple of times that Usman would be detailing my ride..
We started off by washing the car, then compound polished it, then we pre waxed it, waxed it, sealed it off right there.. and finally we polished the black bumpers.. the car's reflections were better than what i see in back view mirror..
For pictures of detailing process.. and my new car.. please check out this thread that i have just made:

Hello Hamad Najam,

When it come to white color, it get hard to bring depth and shine. It is not impossible but it is a bit hard.

It also depends on the condition of your car paint, how bad it has gone. Upload some pictures and then we can judge and recommend bes products to restore its beauty.

Go get best results, you have to follow proper procedure and steps to gain best results at the end.

So upload the pictures and you will get proper professional recommendations.

As far as good polishes n waxes are concerned, you can try Turtle Ice Synthetic Polish ( @ahmed_yar already recommended that) and it will bring good shine. But if you paint is already dull you need to get the dull residue off the paint and for that you have to use stage one products.

Mothers Carnauba Wax is also a very god product if you want depth in the color.

I am big fan of Mothers Reflections Wax And on of it i use Mothers Reflection Top Coat and it lasts weeks easily and gives shine at its peak.

So upload the pictures and see the contribution from the detailing crew.

Regards

Assalam-0-Alaikum, to all, again.

After such a long break. bari sharam arahi hai lekin kher kab tak dar k reply na karoon

I feel it is a good time and chance to reply as i see hamaray karachi wale bhai sab kuch ziada hi thak gae or ghar jatay hi sogae shayad.

So this is me, updating the people on the thread about the karachi g2g (yeh alag bat hai k umar bhai ne usman bhai ko pehle hi phone ghuma k sab bata dia ho) ... i got in real late, after maghrib when the guys reached the restaurant besides (or may i say almost above) the sea. Met umar bhai (Mistero), imran bhai (imranhakro) and nomi (nomi89) ... umar bhai was in full swing with his DSLR ... i got in with a dirty baby therefore no pics of my ride

Actually i got out of the house to get an oil change, after the oil change the car refused to start. The self-start needed some service, it took load, got burned. Then i was getting it fixed, alas, 2 hours ... damn... (had thought k 10 min me oil change karwa k ghar ja k finishing wipe karunga car ko and then good to go)

Eventually, i got off from there, with a dirty car having loads of dust, oil change guy's hand prints, electrician hand prints, pump guy's hand prints (that too is a long story, some other time, adha ghanta is chakkar me b zaya hua lekin kher...)

I had to drive for at least around 30 km to get to the venue, had covered only around 8 km when i saw heavy deployment of rangers en route. I was stopped at 3 points by them, snap checked, time wasted, and when i reached near mazar-e-quaid, i came to know that the main MA Jinnah road is blocked due to chehlum !

Wow ! like after all this, i have to bear this ? took a complete turn around, went to jail road flyover, tried to land on shahrah e faisal, but missed the detour leading to shahrah e faisal, went ahead thinking that i'd take a U-turn from ahead, took that turn, got near the bridge which i had to get on, thought may be i should take left, i dont know why in the world i did it, got into baloch colony, and damn i was scared ... wasted at least 6 kms over there, came back to the bridge, got on main shahrah e faisal, phew ! driving happily now ... thinking what the hell was happening !

But the happiness was short lived, got near gizri, missed the flyover which i had to get on, got a U-turn, came back to the signal, got a phone call from umar bhai "sameer kidhar ho ? we are heading towards the sea", me:"acha" ... got on the bridge, luckily then it was straight to sea view, then had to stop near the venue and ask umar bhai the exact spot, standing in the middle of nowhere, weird biker boys going all around, umar bhai not receiving the phone, ufff... kher umar bhai called back ... i got en route again... reached there ... was greeted like we all knew each other since ages ...

We were all just standing and talking ... then went to sit over the sea ... countless talking... had doodh patti ... talking ... talking... talking ... on various topics ... then umar bhai graciously ordered some delights, ate em all up, umar bhai ne to kuch khaya hi nahi ... imran bhai kehte reh gae nahi main doonga bill, nomi or main kehte rehgae bhai amreeki nizam karlain, but the creative man became our host ...

After eating, talking, talking, talking, restaurant walas were like, bhai ab chalay jao ... we are: talking ..... from banking, to business, cars, vintage cars, pakwheels and of course detailing ... waiters came and picked up the finished plates, some were still remaining, thori der bad aye: sir yeh b utha lain (dil me kehrahe honge: aray bhai bethay to aisay ho jese poora menu offer kia hai, ab uth b jao) ... han bhui sab utha lain ...

Still talking, at last, we got up, hotel walas breathed a sigh of relief ... we got downstairs, imran bhai ka phone bajay ja raha hai ... jo bechara kar raha tha woh ronay laga, ring tone ki awaz me rulayi sunayi dene lagi, lekin nahi, imran bhai ki poori attention hamari taraf hi rahi... it was only when we got near the cars that the real detailing talks began ...

umar bhai showed his entire arsenal which literally smashed us ! poori trunk full of goodies ! umar bhai shared alot of techniques and stuff ... imran bhai showed off his beautiful beauty ... and yes, the man has kept his ride with intense care, smooth as silk, and the engine room looked like as if i was seeing the car in a showroom, i suggested imran bhai to remove the registration plate and install a 'applied for registration' plate

A lot more, which will be better described by other members ... i surely missed the major fun part, but nevertheless joined the crew for an awesome evening, i think we all departed at nearly 10-11 pm, that too, due to the fact that i was constantly getting images of the route back in my head

A perfect meet, very small, but very nice ... i think i found a group of very good new friends !

P.S. I don't usually drive like that ... but i don't know what really happened to me today, yet, all the bad patches were liked wiped clean when i met the buddies !

[RapShap]

Detailing procedure started from interior because it was quite dirty.

[RapShap]

I don't know much about buffing machines.Can anyone tell me the rates of a good buffing machine and are the buffing pads easily available.
