Car Care and Detailing Dreams

vague tired after washing 4 cars

[JuGnO]

KSE, you were thinking of selling your Karcher? you did not share the exact model number and selling cost
by the way, have you ever wondered that KSE means? Karachi Stock eXchange as well?

[JuGnO]

hey hey hey
i just remembered
i washed the car yesterday, pannel by pannel,
dried it using MF
applied a thin coat of SynWax and buffed it off after hazing
so it was bling bling
and yeeaa in the morning there was not much rain areas so the roads were clean enough that i reached office in bling form

now the issue
I parked the car below a plant-tree in-front of my house and damn got tree sap over some area of the hood and two areas on the windscreen.
How the hell should i removed the stains... its as if the color inside the windscreen has darkened on these areas/spots
will post a picture for the issue when in home...

ehm ehm
Ustad gee ye kis ko chhera tha??? OR is there someone really really angry with your hairs?

[Sheryar]

Nice car mashAllah
Kindly let us know where are you living? and from where can you source the products? like UK or USA is possible or not?
It will help a lot to let you know the good things at the medium to higher budget range for that beautiful white color

PS: yes your location in profile shoes abu dhabi but sometimes they are different from actual just need the confirmation, cuz here in pakistan sourcing from outside is really hard and not much product varieties are available.

Mashallah

Well Em Living In UAE (Abu Dhabi + Dubai), Sourcing Will Be Done Here Local & That Will be My 1st Preference But If Not Avaible Here Then Will Order Them Through Some1 (Dealer) ..
Or If Sm1 From Pakistan Or Any PW Member Can Provide Me All Products (PM ME) That Will Be More Comfortable For Me As My Car Is in Pakistan.

Inshallah When I Will Find The Correct Products Here in UAE I Will Update Every

sir turtle ice liquid clay bar is perfect for this purpose

after claying it dont forget to shampoo the car as it can again make a bond with car paint at other place make sure you wipe it out securely..

hehe, isi stock exchange mai phansay hain hum bi.. Trading stocks since 2006 and yes that is why my nick is kse101.. 6 saal guzar gai, pata bi nai chala time ka o

Regarding Karcher, yes i was very busy lately, didn't get chance to make thread. Well one thing, if your gerage is small, then Karcher is useless for you. Karcher require a decent space so that you can use it 1-2 feet away from the car. Another thing, Tap water pressure should be good in order to get good high speed Pressure from Karcher..

Model number is: K 2,185 (100 bar)
Its Made in Germany Product. Quality built.
New one is for 14,000, and mine is hardly 3,4 times used, i think its under 6-7 months warranty.

Pakwheels style Demand 15k lol
but for Dc team, my full and final is 10k
i think last time Hassan Laiq bro was interested in that, lakin abhi price tab baat nai paunchi thi. He said if i really sell it, then we will be the buyer. khair.. 10k would be last. Otherwise i will keep it with me, Camera Lens 1-2 months aur late hojai ga aur kiya hoga..

Very neat!!!!! Can you tell me which engine degreaser did you use? I also plan to try it on my Vitz 2007 at the service station. I plan to spray the degreaser once the engine is warm and then tell the service station guy to spray it with water using less pressure. Would appreciate your advice as I am going to try this for the first time?

For engine de-greasing I used Turtle Wax Pre-Soak, I suggest you do it with a cold engine! Rest just remember no direct spray on the electrics and do dry the car with compressed air! Best of luck!

Nice work Jz! MashAllah! cars lookin fine! Keep up the good work!

This very same karcher was for PKR 8.5k at metro as a promotion. But it was only for a month or so. Now it's price is back at PKR 13K in metro.

Yer welcome anytime Jz! An yes was a bit tired after 4 cars! But hey, anything for the love of detailing!

Bro its 13,990 now, that 8500 promo is over..
I bought it from Metro Thokar, Lahore in December i guess.. and since than i hardly used it 3,4 times. Reason is i got enough water Pressure in my area. Well 10k is final Price bro... considering 14k for new, 10k is good enough for both parties.

Yes it WAS for 8.5k and now it is back to 13,990 (H)
We usually remember 13k wali figure, lakin agay ka 999 bhool jatay hain.
Last friday ki price bata raha hoon and i guess kashif bhai was also at Metro last week and he can confirm about 13,990/ i.e 14k

Raheel I`ve already done that here on the thread with engine degreaser, just as a precaution cover all the sensors and electric joints with tin foil, do not spray water directly into the engine, last of all dry it very throughly with compressed air before touching the ignition switch!

Thanks bro, can you please elaborate tin foil ?? can i use polythene bags instead of Tin foil and this can be done at home as for drying i dont have the compressed air only have Blower, moreover service station guys spray water directly on the engine with high pressure so any suggestion ???? and is there any specific time to leave the degrease or should i wash the engine immediately ??

I read your post where you put the price of this magic was 1100 /Liter ,is there any other product in market which will not empty my pocket while purchasing degreaser ??and do you know the right place in karachi from where i will get this.

[awais.9]

Reason is i got enough water Pressure in my area.

so this karcher is used only for water pressure?

i just turn on the water motor n connect pipe to it for great pressure

Bro jee tin foil is used mostly to pack edibles in such a manner that they stay warm, you can easily buy it from a good departmental store, yes you can use polythene bags too, the medium is not the issue, the issue is water protection...anyway you can achieve that, is acceptable! A blower wont quite cut it.....as far as the service station guys are concerned, ask them to shower the engine an not to throw a stream directly onto it, or directly in their language ask him to put his hand in front of the stream. I usually leave presoak on for 5 to 10 mins so it loosens up the dirt, then I grab a spray bottle filled with presoak and a brush an get to the scrubbing part, after that you can wash the engine.

Tons of products in the market, the one I use is a professional grade product, you can get half a litre of it as well for 550.....an no idea about Karachi availability! Sorry!
