Car Care and Detailing Dreams

[haa0518]

@amir bhai thank you for the appreciation and also v1 thank you for your appreciation too...
the reasons because i am not happy of the results are that i think there are swirl marks on the paint which are not going :s i think i will have to get swirlX and scratchX to remove the scratches and swirls. also i feel that applying lime prime without a sander polisher is another reasons for the average results.

@amir bhai yes brother you were right about the sunlight thing.. the car looked totally different in the sunlight and at night time i was like :o the white was very nice i really like it.. but you know the thing is that when you get to detailing you want everything perfect and with those swirls and scratches.. what a pain i'm going through
as suggested by you some sunlight pictures a day after the actual detailing. just wiped of the dirt with a clean dry lint free cloth

also these pictures are taken from a blackberry camera which again is not a very good camera.. and i am not very good in photography :-#

please i would like suggestion from you guys that what shall be done to improve the results... thank you in advance

Some Amir shots...how can a shoot be done without our beloved Amir style shots...

oh btw just to let you know...GC was taken off in a dual hand motion using dual MFs at the same time...one for taking off wax and the other for simultaneous buffing using Supreme Shine...

and it still continues...Hakro's GC round two is left....

WAX STAGE 3 - SEALING WITH NXT
STAGE 8 (of Total...including two stages of complete interior) FINAL wipe with Detailer moistened MF...

Okay now after the extensive shine, reflection and depth...NXt was not really required...but we decided to go ahead with it anyways to seal the coat(s) of GC...

Wasn't expecting much beyond what we had gotten...and we were pretty right...sir surface prep won all the way....

two shots to begin with...can you tell the difference...one shot is with GC only and the other one is after a coat of NXT...can you tell which is which?

and then things went down hill...WELL NOT FOR OUR DETAILING BUT FOR OUR CAMERA RESULTS...we had lost almost all light...post maghrib...the camera was an 8.1 mp point and shoot...with great day time results but horrible ISO, so pretty lame results at night without flash...and since my hand was shaking pretty badly after 9 hours of non stop waxing and buffing...I just couldn't hold the hand steady during the slow auto shutter speed...so excuse the blurry shots...

hakro's car was completed first...

t

Amir Shots...

Tried an invisible shot with Goth... but very low light...very blurry picture...the damn camera won't focus...so yes Usman THIS IS A REAL BLURRY PIC

Light was very low...so decided to try the flash....nopes....didn't work...but just to show you what the light was like...if was 7pm...

but darkness can work in mysterious ways...nothing seems great about this picture...well...think again...it is almost pitch dark and yet Hakro's Alto is pulling in reflections...and this is a Suzuki boys....an this is a bad night camera...can you still see the calm pool of water...

and then after a quick skype report in to Lahore...we were off to a SHELL pump for the ultimate torture test...a shoot under neath those swirl unmasking lights....to be cont'd
