thinking to order this stuff,will cost $50 with shipment
first one is for waxing i guess?

i have to choose between headfone or this stuff lol

how about this item instead of water magnet?

here's the link of the store
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=me%3DA1AUFI5NHGNZ61&field-keywords=microfiber
choose the items which you think i should order,just remember shipping is gonna cost me like $11 n then $8 per pound per item

i think its total weight per pound atleast i hope so
now suggest me what stuff i should order,i can sacrifice the headfones for now

[kse101]

ohh man, i got the same stuff from amazon 2-3 months ago.. look at the discounted prices OMG.. i got Supreme shine mf for 10$, pack of 3... and Water magnet at 9$ .. and now they are like 50% off.. wow.

Well 1st one Supreme Shine Mf, is for buffing the wax, extremely soft mf in big size and in just 5$ you will be getting 3 of them.. Free hai bhai jee..

2nd is Washing mitt, its glove, wear it and wash ur car, spread shampoo on it and give ur car a wipe of it.. this one can be use for interior detailing..

3rd one, Water magnet drying towel, Another very handy product by meguiars, it absorb 5x more water than any other mf, this one again in big size, hence u can dry ur car easily with this water magnet..

Also do read the reviews of these Products, as you can see these are rated over 4 star, so its a must buy in this price u can get headphone from here as well, check galazy site or some other, em sure 90% headphones are here now.. better get these things, these are the Best Prices!

Btw you will pay via credit card but what about shipment, do amazon ship to Pakistan??

[awais.9]

headfones were jvc rx900 which are not available locally but through some guys or the sony xb500 super bass which is totally not available here

i'll be paying though the money that i made from online work via gift card balance
and yes few stores ship to pakistan,esp this store,thats why i asked which else items should i also get
this store got the cheapest shipping cost among the others for this car stuff

[kse101]

^ do pm me the store name, i double check @ amazon, these are not the prices over there.. strange..

Hello Everyone,

Before I start explaining this detail I would like to Justin and his parents for the hospitality they showed me this weekend, I want to thank you guys so much especially Justin who was always there when I needed him.

This detail was carried out by myself which included a deep clean, total decontamination, 2 step correction, full interior detail and multiple applications of sealants and waxes. This detail can affectionately be called the KEY-YO-MI OR THE JUST-IN DETAIL.

I also want to thank Loose Cannon & N00bmiester for keeping us company for a couple of hours, I’m sure I made all of you guys bored.

This is more like a short story so, if your not interested at this point go back NOW.

Okay enough chatting let’s START THIS THING

JUSTIN kept his car really clean for me to detail as you will now see

So you guys get the idea, started with a pre rinse

“MOM: Where are you, I need milk from the grocery store.
Me: Mom I’m at a client’s house, detailing his car. I’ll be home tomorrow”

Back to work.

I usually focus on my work, but thanks Justin for taking this picture.

Happy Detailer

Moving onto the exhaust

Foam Cannon Time

Getting all into all the nooks and crannies of this car, Door Jambs, sunroof edges….

Justin’s dad watching us work

Authentic Merino wool wash-mitt FTW, only the best for my clients

Using a deironizing gel, to remove the iron particles stuck on Justin’s car. Remember this statement I’ll bring it up again

I use a sponge to spread it around, before that though. I use a box cutter to grit lines into it. So that dirt particles that may still be present can sucked into their instead of rubbing onto the paint. Detailing on the cheap 101

Spreading the gel around

Deironized

Here I sprayed some tar remover, I mean industrial strength tar remover. So I wear a respiratory mask for safety.

After that I use clay and clay lube to do a final decontamination on the car for what ever is left.

You just have to gently glide it over the surface, GENTLY!

“Huh, did you say something. Okay back to work”

My Boi is impressed with the shine already, what more can I do to impress him?

Trying to play doctor doctor (taking paint measurements of the car, you know how MUCH paint a Mazda has right)

Polishing prep finally!

Justin takes care of his car, so it was in good condition which means it’s very hard to take the pictures of defects.

Also it was impossible to get a 50:50 shot, here are a few attempts though.

This is the polish side, the right side

Un-polished side, do you guys notice the difference.

Here’s the polished side again

Ohh wait, here’s a good one.

Here’s the side of the hood, yes only a Mazda can we have a “side” of the hood. Damn sharp corners

The eyebrows, because the smiley face wasn’t enough

I took a break polishing, Loose Cannon wanted to rinse his car. Pfff Rinse, we detail here Bay Bee

[hamza77]

Do you guys remember, the deironizing gel, well go back up if you don’t.

I asked Loose Cannon if I could use his car as a demo to show you guys what I was talking about

You, guys see those golden rust spots right. Watch this!

The deironizing gel is getting to work and reacting with those iron particles to fully remove them.

Pictures of me polishing

The hood was done, finally. N00bmeister testing the reflection

I think he said it passed

Meanwhile, Justin was talking pictures of the hood because he thought the reflection was crazy cool

I came back the next day to find some wax in s crevice under his wing mirror

That had to go, so I safely removed it a tooth pick wrapped in a MF

Left side polished

Had to get the grease from the keyholes and around the handle as well

Clean

I also got the nail scratches from under the handle

Here I’m inspecting my work by wiping away the polish residue

Weird thing here is I didn’t know I had a bald spot

Dirty

Clean

[hamza77]

Some scratches were removed

Gone

Justin had to turn the car around so I took this opportunity to take some pictures

Some more scratches

Gone

More 50:50

After the polishing was complete I rewashed it so I could get rid of the dust that was everywhere.

After that as done, I focused on the exhaust. I polished and protected

LSP of choice was Black Fire Wet Diamond

All buffed off, the tires are white because my favorite tire gel needs to soak into the tire

The reflection of the hood was crazy

You know how it looks all nice outside well that’s just my camera I really don’t know how to work it. This is how it actually was

Okay if you finished all that I want you give yourselves a big pat on the back, I’ll be back at Justin’s tomorrow putting on another layer and then taking some sunny time pictures

[hamza77]

Day 3

I started by giving a second treatment of sealant to the paint around Justin’s car everything except the hood and front bumper was treated.

On the hood, I used a special wax I got from Bryan @ Concours Touch, I hand applied Yes hand applied it to the hood as seen below. Justin made me laugh because he thought I was crazy. He’s like “Why you messaging my car man, it’s weird” I said “Yeah it is”

Here are some sun pictures we took
