Presenting the chilli-red...after a 4 hour session...including wash, dry out, Mother's Step-3, Meguire Quickdetailer coat, under the hood cleanup, interior detailing with Meguire's Quick Interior Detailer and finally the foamy polish on the tyres.....

Chilli-red (Habanero Red) for your viewing pleasure my dear fellows....truly an awsome color.....im loving it! even more than my ex-Black corolla...

black has best reflections,red also gives good reflections
silver is dead colour for reflections

jazakallha dear brother for liking,
yes u can add few drops of #26 liquied wax its already hybrid just shake it well before use.
if ur microfiber cloth size is smll than may be use another dry one in other hand

further seems u spraying much , reduce spray qty will also solve the problem

about ur clear coat problem
i didnt see the paint condition so usman bhai can suggest anything, theoraticlly may be wet sanding with higher grit papers on re-painted pannels than polishing and seal whole car with opti seal its a permanent clear coating , the one dear imran hakro bhai sourced recently

Ahmad bhai you are almost spot on, just one mistake, optiseal isnt permanent but opticoat sure is.

dear brothers
here pics of my city detailing , this time with new recipy ( copied idea of dear duarni bhai

shampoo wash car

applied gold class with moist applicator pad and removed with microfiber
gave 2 hours curing time

than give a self home made hybrid detailer spray wipe
( recipy of home made hybrid detailer, took 500ml distel water, add 3 to 4 drops of wolfgang 3.0 sealant and 4 to 5 drops of turtle platinum series pression liquied wax , shake it well )

applied meguair's wax #26 and here are pics

Alllaaaaaaaaa! MashAllah!!! Every tiem the car gets a little more glow in it, waisay achi khidmat ho rahi hai is gari ki, orca ko nikalay huay arsa hi ho gaya hai!! Nae ??

[margallar]

another ricing suggestion :P, get a sticker made for the cars on which you applied sealant, it should state the application date and the date for renewal of sealant and should show the dc logo

i dont know who is mike philpis but i know one thing usman bahi , ahmed bahi and amir bahi are the best cause who ever he is he would be detailing ride in a countary which has low dust and air pollution and better quaity paint but here we detail ride which is full of dust etc

JazakAllah bro for the kind words, though Im much far behind Aamir bhai an Ahmed bhai.....Aamir bhai has way much more experience than me.....heck I know how tough it is to keep RL in such a condition.....amazing amazing work on it....an the new Ford......from red to blue....an Ahmed bhai, well yeh to chuppay rustam niklay.....MashAllah came from basic prods an look at what hes playing with now.....just a matter of time before he takes over the crown!

@ experts/ V1
is there any solution for the less clear coat of my car?
obviously reflections depends on the paint condition,so i dont see great reflections on all parts n then i dont like spending more on detailing products

whenever i see any new shape corolla ( black car) on the roads,it gives such deep n nice reflections from all parts,not even civic gives that kind of reflections (atleast while going on the road according to my observation)
n sometimes i see cars being washed in parking with that dirty water n dirty cloth but still the car shining n giving great reflections breaks my heart

As already said by most people there is no "real solution" to a clear coat per say. There are alternatives which are quite permenant and very reasonable to apply as well. There are 2 options i think in your case.

1. Nano coat sealants: Excellent value for money and can go upto years sealing your clear coat and "acting" as the clear coat though they can be removed easily with polishes. If sealed properly with a prepped surface they give brilliant shine and much long lasting performance than tradiotional sealants like Klasse or Wolfgang which in our enviornment will run out in about 2 months max. These will last you for over a year provided you top up with a carnauba montly maybe and a good washing shampoo. e.g are Car pro nano sealants.

2. Which is the more permenant solution and is actually sold of almost as a secondary clear coat is the Opti coat 2.0 (It comes under a ceramic clear coat category according to the company). Its available now to amateurs as well now so is the best thing and one doesnt need to go to a dealer to get the Opti guard. It has a far superior scratch resistance as well. Wether its a life time product I cant comment but on the 13 cars ive applied to in the past 2 years I havent had any problem what so ever and the cars are still spanking new.
   It does have a few downsides though.

1.The paint has to be prepped to the max. When i started doing this, i did a wash once and then did the claying and then the defect removal and all the jazz. The last one i did i washed the car 3 times just to get as good as a prep possible, that is after claying and after defect removal. This step really pays of. Get in a 10 hour session and the car is amazing when it finally cures. Better than most local cars.when new, I would recommend having a DA polisher as well atleast for the correction.

1. The car HAS TO BE WIPED DOWN WITH IPA. Good IPA i must add. Any organic compound left will not let the bond strengthen and so failure of it.

2. You cant experiment much with it thinking you can apply a little more or less (well unless you have purchased 2 of these) Its just 20ml and you need a good eye while curing. If cured in correctly one really needs to machine polish it out and then reapply.

Even with all the downsides I would recommend the 2nd choice with the wonderful experience ive had with this. Its not too expensive. About $70 i think if someone can get it for you from the US or you can always contact me.

Hope this helps.

i was considering using opti coat on my margalla, but then i tested another sealant that worked perfectly and single stage has its own pleasure so im not going for it.

for the rear windshield like this

What did you end up using ? And by single stage Im assuming youre saying the paint on your margalla is a single stage paint. Sorry havent encountered a margalla in my detailing till now.

[margallar]

wolfgang works on the car, yes it is single stage red, but the full treatment is pending, i wont apply sealant unless the surface is improved to some extent, my plan is to first apply meguiars m7 show car glaze, then m80 speed glaze with a rotary or da, the m80 will take care of the defects and once that is taken care of ill apply wolfgang, wax weekly and use the sealant once in two months,

i dont want show car results, just an improvement will suffice as the car will be repainted next year

I would really use the m80 before for the swirl coreection with a DA or a rotary, put in the m7 by hand because thats how it is the best and follow it up with whatever you want. Why use a pure polish with minimum if any cleaning ability before paint correction ? ":S

[margallar]

i cant explain that, you need to work on an old and dry single stage to understand this. it just conditions the paint and makes the abrasive part easier, you dont want the m80 drying up on your paint. this was recommended to me at both the autogeek and meguiars forums
