Car Care and Detailing Dreams

[awais.9]

Due to this reason I hv stoped using dust cover. Dust itni nuksan deh nahi jitna cover hai so better is to be dusty rather to get scratches

yea u r right
but when em driving it on road n see all those black clean shiny rides my heart goes sad to see my dusty ride

[dms664]

thanks
will check the prices tomorrow for the detailer spray
btw what if it gets dust of 1 or 2 days ? i guess then either pressure wash with choa motor or proper wash only?
i have seen videos of detailer spray,i guess that method is called PAT and DAB method as u even mentioned

as shown in this video
Armor All Detailer Spray - YouTube

this video is showing it can be used on really dirty surface as well but i doubt that though might be possible
with this spray i guess i'll use it at night time only when car wont b going anywhere n then cover it n be tension free

use the detailer spray after waxing the car and then it ll catch less dust comparatively.

and what a great thread it is .......i ll go through each and every post of it on Sunday....

JazakAllah! Alot of effort and information has been put in by members....if you manage the patience to read all of it, I`m sure you wont need any further guidance for detailing! Best of luck going through the posts!

After one or two days of dust, just give it a quick burst of pressurized water to remove the dust. An as far as really dirty surface is concerned, please dont attempt that on yer black ride, our enviro an climate, paint layers, quality an lastly finishing is very very very different from the car you see in the video. Just use it before covering the ride an you`ll be good to go! Btw....wheres the pat an dab in the video ??

from 11sec to 25sec? (A)

i tried pressurized water on dust of 1-2days twice n both time when i was drying it,water magnet got dirty with the dust

Okay the car is now standing with a very nice bling, infact looks like as it has just received a gloss top coat but....

The buts...

1. What should have been a max 20-25 min session (including windows) TOOK ME an HOUR AND A HALF...

2. DEEP DEEP INSIDE IN A FARAWAY LAND...I can see 3 or 4 SKID marks under certain lit angles

The Mistakes...

I have two MFs right now (should have a truck load by Jan ) one is kept aside for final wipes and one is used to do the wet wipes and detailer wipes (regularly cleaned ofcourse)...

I used the DAB method...Dampened a side with the detailer and dabbed a panel, turned sides sprayed detailer again on clean side and wiped. Turned to an inside side and wiped the moistness off the surface.

Now this worked well for the first one two panels...but after that the Cloth which was pretty damp by now was not drying the surface properly in the last wipe

When I gave the final wipe....OMG...80% of the car still had the wax deposits from the detailer and I had to go into the buffing routine (which took all the effort and time)

The DAB method is pretty cool, I loved it but the DAB and detail should be done with TWO CLOTHS..end of story.

A detailing wipe is done with 8 sides (4 for applying detailer and 4 for drying)...with an added DAB I neeeded total 12 sides and I used 8
(2 sides for DABs, 2 sides for detailer wipe and 4 sides for drying)

So clearly I used dirty sides more than I should have and my drying sides were not as dry as they should have been.

The Dirty sides most probably left those DEEP DEEP skid marks and the not so dry sides left the detailer wax on the paint which turned my final wipe into a nightmare.

My Recommendations for detailer wipe with DAB and Wipe technique:

a. Use two MFs (one for Dabbing and one for detailer wipe and drying) (third one should be used for final wipe if you are in the mood)
b. Do the horizontal surfaces first starting with the Hood

I am sure my next wet wipes (I think it can be tackled with one MF) and detailer wipes (with MFs) will be back to under 20 minutes (maybe even less if I let Mr. D tackle the glasses) because technically if done right DABBING JUST ADDS 5 MINUTES to the whole thing.

THE BEST PARTS:
1. I found the detailer wipe more affective after the DAB...so it works
2. The Car at week's end is standing shiney as ever
3. I was at it non stop including a very rigorous buffing session for an hour and a half and I DID NOT FEEL ANY STRAIN...my body is finally adapting (slowly but surely)
4. I get to do it all over again...TOMORROW IS SHAMPOO AND WAX DAY (and then again on MONDAY which is TOP COAT day)

I am also looking forward to seeing what happens to those skids in tomorrow's coat by coat regime (shampoo, paint clean up and then wax)...let's see if they come off, get disguised or still stare at my face (ofcourse you have to go into really strange positions to make them stare at you)

The swirls I haven't manage to hide till yet but then I haven't brought in the big guns yet...the MAIN EXOTICS are coming in Jan...and some other back up supplies will have to wait for my trip to the land of Sun, fun and Sand later this month (the megs and the turtles)...till then I have to do with what I have and no way is that good enough to hide the swirls...but I am not complaining...just learning

i guess i found it

[ahmad_yar]

followed the following
Step 1 :washed car (turtle ice shampoo)
Step 2 :waxing (GC)
Step 3:applied turtle extra gloss (allowed it to haze around 3 hrs)
Step 4:Final wipe
i think the results are pretty good.experts opinion required.
The model of the car is 2002.
i more question at what stage i require a cleaners wax and claying.whats the current condition of paint?does it require any of them.

wowo 10 years old car and in such perfect condition !! Mashallha ,its really treat to see the pics choice of products and application flow perfect
warmly welcome on thread bhai gee.

well its 10 years old car so understand her surface needs claying process, this will further enhance the clearity in paint, smoother, briter surface.
after shampoo do claying pannel by pannal, than cleaner wax, gc and in last turtle extra gloss

Due to this reason I hv stoped using dust cover. Dust itni nuksan deh nahi jitna cover hai so better is to be dusty rather to get scratches

Advice Required Please!

After washing a car (with Turtle Platinum Series Car Wash) and waxing it with Turtle Carnauba Cleaner Wax...

Is Mothers Step 3 wax more preferable as a "top coat", or Meguiars NXT 2.0 Synwax?

fouad bhai
well its depend what end results u wish, mother step 3 will further enhance the depthness in colour but it wont last long, if i am at ur place and have choice of these 2 products i would go for nxt as it will seal the surface , produce good reflections and also attract less dust
or another option apply both:) first mother step 3 and than top up with nxt, sure u will get eye catching results

Thanks for the timely advice, Ahmad Bhai.

And if we use first Mothers Step 3 and THEN NXT?
