Car Care and Detailing Dreams

[imranhakro]

Its been 4 days since i applied 3M Performance finish (Courtesy MisterO)

Today gave it a detailer wipe in morning before going to office, and these are the results Its still shiny as mirror, and surface is still very slicky (H)

I am pretty satisfied with this thing, as compared to 3M perfect-It. No doubt perfect it was also great, but this is greater.... and i am sure Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid wax is the greatest (H) (will reach by February end, and will surely provide its review here after trying it)

Some stuff I started out with exactly this time last year.

My collection has grown quite a bit since this picture was taken, will upload more on Saturday EST that sunday for you folks![IMG]http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i440/hamza_nadeem1/DSCN1414.jpg[/IMG]

Nice stuff man...

how do you find the CCD?

[Mistero]

Anyone?

I doubt it if you'll get this as a kit anywhere in this part of the world...it's a specific kit marketed towards a specific region or by a specific dealer... Unlike the black box which is made to be sold together...this kit is made up of multiple brand lines so I would call this a BUNDLE rather than a kit...I guess you'll have to build it yourself by getting the stuff one by one...get someone to hopover to Ace in Dubai...and they have all this stuff...

Gave the goth a detailer wipe today with armor all...the very quick GC thin coat from Sunday is holding out pretty well...

I did attract some extra dust after GC in the past two days...but it was very very fine and powdery and was super easy removing with Pat and Dab and the detailer wipe...either that or I am now getting really comfortable with this technique of wiping...

time for some crappy BB cam again...

Taken last night with a layer of two day dust...

Just loved how the car was looking and changing shape in this light...thought I'd share it with you guys...

These are today three hours after the detailer wipe

The Amir Shot...(well the max I could manage)...the armor all tyre foam you can see is holding out very very nicely...tyres driven around 100-110 kms since application...you can see a little bit of dust accumulated on the roof since the wipe...

As usual, always aalllllaaaaaaaaaaaa ! Goth got her groove goin ma man! Big time shakeee, shakeee! An aap aaj kal baray curves curves kar rahay hain....kiyaa baat hai???:-#

happy detailng

I hope main apki ummeedon pe poora utra hunga as far as camera is concerned, believe me it doesn't even captures half the results !

@devilbacha:
really nice work brother, btw, your registration number initials are the fav of audio enthusiasts and electronic engineers just one advice, re-size the pictures before posting, lets the viewers enjoy the beauty easily.

post price ov 3m performance finish and wht can i use to make ma ride look gr8 like scratch x or swirl x with price and frm whr i can purchase it

umar bhai has answered you about performance finish, about the other products, i would recommend you 3 places:

1. Saca Plus
2. Speed auto care
3. optimum motor sports

speed auto care is under khurrum bhai to you'll probably get the best products for the price and also the best advice on which products to choose.

[raging_ravin]

khurrum bhai what can i say about this post, splendid ! dekh k maza agaya ! awesome, samajh nahi araha k kya reply karoon, so much to say ! seeing the pic the umar bhai, one can't believe that it is Pakistan. Men at work ! awesome g2g brothers, and by the way, the last pic of imran bhai, his car and khurum bhai is epic ! even if khurum bhai had uploaded this one single pic, it would've made this detailing session the best of '12

Epic ! i really love this BIG class of trucks ! and by umar bhai's description of the ram, i am really amazed. Also it is a treat to see umar bhai and imran bhai using rotary on the monster ! splendid !

Speechless !

[raging_ravin]

Okieee...the long write up....

removed the write up to save space.

Umar bhai, as usual, the write up was fantastic ! The results are perfect !

Well did I mention this but Imran finally got whacked by his love of chrome and rubber cleaning...hehehehehe....

and here he is in action...WITH THE CHROME CLEANER ofcourse...

this thing made me ROFLMAO ! with all due respect to imran bhai !

@ raven..tumharee detailing pay mein aram say comment bazzi karoga...

mugar shukar hai...you started it...but you still need to cover a lotta distance since the last GTG...so I am looking foward to see seeing some fresh pics next Monday

aur yaad hay na...coming Sunday is crucial...Amir is landing Inshah Allah on the 15th...wahan service waley logon kay haathon wala excuse nahi chaley ga and neither parking the car at a distance will do

sir jee zaroor zaroor, banda ap ki hi post k intezar me hai, because i knew that usman bhai, being usman bhai wont scold me for my mistakes due to my first ever post, also because he hasn't seen the car in real time. but i was and am still waiting for your technical analysis over my session.

[raging_ravin]

MashAllah! Humari dhamki mai itna asar! Aur bhai the pics in end you have posted......:*.......jhapi paa yar! Dil khush kita eeee! Very very nice write up, I can read some errors an I can make a few tweaks of where you went a bit wrong an where you could have done better, but for your intro to the thread, I think youve done the crew proud....Being bluntly honest I knew what prods you were using, Mistero an me had a lil indepth discussion over you, Imran and Nomi after the gtg.....an I really didnt expect this sorta dhamaka from you using them.....so youve got me off guard! :) Im also happy to read you managed 10 hours straight on the first detail.....MashAllah! Takes patience an time.....an I think you played nice with the combo! From the products used, to the results.......Im all smiles! Ata Boy! Now remember keep it consistent and you got it made! With time an under the guidance of the guys here youll be pullin tricks many dream of......! Khush raho!

Jazak ALLAH usman bhai, as always, your attitude and appreciation is surely a big boost for the morale of every automobile detailer out there !

the jhappi is ON brother, pehle karachi to ajayen, kab se intezar karwa rahe hain, yeh to wohi gana hogaya, sanu airport wale pul te bula k, vague mahi kithay reh gaya

Sir jee, kindly read my write up again, see the pictures again, and tell me all the errors and shortcoming you see, where i went wrong, where i could do better, everything. whether u want to PM me or share it over the thread so that everyone benefit from it.

I think youve done the crew proud....

bhaiyya apne to crew se nikal dia mujhe ? crew member banne k liye konsa form bharna parega ab

about the products, let me tell u, NO detailer was used ! these results are without detailer wipe ! the detailer story is in the next session.

The time spent ? it was amusing, i was always intimidated by the detail time and thought k yar itni der kese karlete hain but when i did it myself, then only i understood in the end, my dad, while applauding my efforts, said: 'beta bohat achi bat hai, bohat mehnat se safai ki tumne, gari ki shakal badal gayi hai, lekin, is tarhan nahi hoti beta safai, itni mehnat nahi karte :D' and i was like baba yeh first tha, or adha time inter cleaning ne le lia, etc.

again, Jazak ALLAH.

How you wash tyres the pro way

the tyre cleaner sprayed on

usman bhai kindly index this on the 1st post for everyone's reference, and yeh batayen k tire cleaner ki yeh konsi bottle hai or isme solution konsa hai ?

The Amir Shot...(well the max I could manage)...the armor all tyre foam you can see is holding out very very nicely...tyres driven around 100-110 kms since application...you can see a little bit of dust accumulated on the roof since the wipe...

Allaaa Sir g alllaaa , seems like black color is dancing on GOTH skin,

" You could buy a good pair of waxes, and take it to a service station for application."

Kiya yeah khula itizaad nahi ? ? ? ? Aik Din Service Station Kay Saath

This was i think the concluding sentence of my post AGAR aur kuch nahin karna tou phir yehi karna paray ga, service station lay ja kar wax application and removal, ab bechari gari ko begair wax kay tou nahin rakh saktey, naraz ho jaye gi, and its VERYY hard to mellow down babes, you must know

cheetay what about glow sealant and wolf gang.

I dont think they are available locally, are they?

Yawar Bhaiya, is this what you and Usman bhai discussed?

:o after some time passed by..(H) I think this is exactly what we talked about, i need details on it too, kiya scene hei iska, this definitely has to be the most standing out product of this thread, look at the packing, complete doctorish kit, whatttaaayyyy!

[volverine]

plzz tell me how to remove a scratch almost 7inch long scratch not deep just on the surface visible from near only colour silver GLI 2009 plzz tell me complete procedure

This is a new addition to the product line of Saca Plus. Currently they had only a single piece there. I think that it is for sure worth giving a shot at. Perhaps our beloved Doc Detail needs this kit for personification

@ Omar Bhai

Yes you are veryy true about the micron thingy which zunny bhai highlighted. But kiya karayain, mulk hei apna, rehna tou idhar hi hei

Ive been using GC since 2009, and i am very much sure that no matter how many different waxes i try, GC would always be my first preference too. Just like a guy's first crush of a female, GC is my first crush out of all the waxes ive used

@devilz

" This is a new addition to the product line of Saca Plus. Currently they had only a single piece there. I think that it is for sure worth giving a shot at. Perhaps our beloved Doc Detail needs this kit for personification "

I reserve serious concerns about this particular kit available at SACA. I have seen it at the store. Saw it in detail and i was not satisfied by the way the bottles looks. The bottle quality was very very substandard, not what i expect from Turtle after looking at its Ice Range.

SACA products are good, but some products rings the bells in my mind. SACA also got ZYMOL products (LEATHER CARE ONLY). Where as same product (ZYMOL) are also available at other stores that are also selling Chinesse copy of Meguiars.

Fake products might give you good results, but are for short term and at the same time it is damaging the paint which is not visible by the naked eye. Fake products are just like STEROIDS which give short term shine and glare and long term damage.

So, anyone buying it from a local market, please make sure that it is a legit product and do share the results.

Regards.

Yes Kashif Bhai, u r very right about the quality of bottles/packaging. IMHO, all products of Turtle Wax have quite substandard packaging including ICE. But that doesn't mean that they are not good enough. I have a wide range of turtle wax products and most of their labels are coming off, but they performance is for sure up to the mark. Hence, the quality of the product cannot be attributed to packaging. After having had the experience of buying 20+ products from Saca Plus, I am pretty sure that this Enduracoat System is legit. Wasim sahab told me once that Turtle Wax is not so keen on good quality packaging. Rather they focus more on the quality and performance.
As for Enduracoat's Performance, I have no opinion about it as I am yet to try it for myself. But in my experience of using Turtle Wax Products for the past 4 years, they have never disappointed me. IMHO, they offer quite a value for money, expect for ICE's Wax, as i consider to b a little on the higher side.

Regards.

I just bought the ICE Car Wash, it says made in USA on its butt, and i like the bottle, and the watermelon+berry smell of it, ahh brings back old days when i knew things about glosses

p.s
@ rizi bhai

Nakamichii!

p.p.s

Im not too big of a fan of Turtle, BUT the ice polish and ice car wash, definitely a must have, affordable, great results, everybody saw what ice polish did to raja_shahbaz's black sunny, a few hundred pages back.

Ive used it myself as well, but my favourite shampoo award definitely has to go to Ice Shampoo, the quantity you get for its price, mind boggling

Looking forward to what speed auto has in store for us in its upcoming range, the latest one, pina colada wali.

[QUOTE=Mistero;3225165]Well this post is dedicated to our lovely hosts...not only to Khurram but also to his equally nice and friendly brother Fahad...

The Karachi Crew not only did a true Joint session *** GTG...but we did do more than our own rides...Thanks to Khurram ...we actually detailed our very first BIG ride...

We were upgraded from detailing 101...to cutting using a machine and scratch removers and compounds....so it was not just an ordinary session...it was a tutorial and a practical all in one...and ofcourse...a TREAT as well to work on a mean machine...such as the STR10 DODGE RAM...easily worth more than 6 mill.

So here it guys...some tribute shots from my end...I must also say that it was perhaps the second most energetic thing I saw yesterday...the most energetic being our host...Khurram bhai...who was not only detailing, but guiding, managing the camera both off and on, organizing four cars at the same time and making sure that all equipment is working fine....Not to mention the frequent ciggy breaks and tea breaks that we enjoyed together...

We were also joined by Fahad and shani (Khurram's friend) who joined in the session with immense zeal and enthusiasm...

@ mistero
omer bhai thanku so much for the lovely narration n your kind words it was nice meeting u both n the efoort n time u spend on your lovely ride n interest u showed in learning n using buffer n the job u did was gr8
do plan something for n cordinate with imran to plan for a foam wash

Just a pic to show the activity going on in the other corner on Fahad's
and this is the finished product...(after compounding)

a satisfied team standing besides a monster of a job...

Imran is still vibrating ....

[QUOTE=vague_one;3226262]Indeed Omar bhai, one of the biggest canons on the thread, with the most exquisite rides detailed under his belt! I at times dont have words for this guy, humble an utterly openhearted.....Imran called him infront of me to ask for the detailing gtg an before I even had requested Khurum to help out, "Haan bhae, ajao, Sunday ko, Im ready!" were the words uttered from his side.....the guys imports his own waxes, has a place that makes custom bikes, I think they are the only ones doing it, has preety much detailed all the biggest an most awesome set of wheels out there roamin Pakistan at the moment, I think thats enough to put his eyes on his forehead an his head in the clouds, but no, hes still out there runnin around, doin cars himself, helping out others here, I remember @Drugmafia also benefitted from Khurums expertise a while ago.....so touche Khurum! Duno where wed be without you! JazakAllah for all your efforts, May Allah bless you bro![/QUOTE]
