One word "AWESOME"....

Looks beautiful mashaAllah! The only thing that's not right with it is the fact that it hasnt been color / wet sanded and buffed after the paint job. It is still possible if you wish to get it done and would really add depth to the finish. Right now it looks very flat. I say this ofcourse not to offend you and if I did, I appologise.

Thanks brother for showing your interest. I appreciate you, not to offend for pointing out any deficiencies and flaws. The car has already been wet sanded with hands after the paint job. Actually I don't have in depth knowledge of all those detailing stuff. The car was prepared for the photo shoot using kangaroo carnauba long coat metallic wax and turtule color magic. Normally I use wet cloth to wipe the dust from the car.
I request you to please suggest me right products especially for this particular color (pewter grey metallic) and also proper way of wet sanding if I want to redo it now.

Regards

Thanks brother for appreciating the work.
Besides, you have got very sharp eyes :), yes one wheel lug nut is missing. It is because the stud on the wheel hub isn't in perfect condition.

I will replace it soon, however I am looking for some decent extended lug nuts at least 60mm in length which are fastened and unfastened using socket type wrench.
The holes for the studs in the rims are very deep, now to use socket type lug nuts they have to be lengthier enough to protrude away from the holes so that the socket wrench can get a firm grip over it or otherwise one should fit key type lug nuts which I am not interested in. The one available in the market are mostly in shorter lengths.

That is indeed the right method of doing it. Was it buffed with a rotary or by hand? How many times was it buffed? Usually after the paintjob, it requires to be buffed 2-3 times to bring out the proper shine. I myself am an amateur detailer so members like vague_one and other people here Car Care and Detailing Dreams can give you a better idea about what products to use. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of turtle color magic.

It was done with hands. I have just confirmed from my brother that only one round of buffing has been exercised so far just to drive the car away from the paint shop premises, 2nd round will be performed later on as some work is still pending in the engine bay. I thank you for your support.

Yes the balance has been badly disturbed by the cng tank. however, the car still needs a little drop, which will be achieved with help of lowering springs or coilovers may be if it was in my budget.
As per the detailing stuff is concerned do you suggest that I should stick to products from a single company let it be Meguiars. As meguiars are now easily available at all leading stores and their prices are reasonable as well.

Please enlist the complete procedure like:
shampoo (product name) > Polish (product name/manually with hands or with rotary applicator) > wax (product name/application method) > ? ? ? ? ?

Regards

shampoo ( MEG ultimate wash and wax or Aurmor all shampoo comes in blue color is good one) > Polish (meg ultimate polish/dodo lime prime polish, both can be used with rotory and hands with polishing pads, if you do not have rotory then get meguires applicator pads come in pack of 4 n 2, use just a single drop and scrub it till u see that polish is invisible now) > wax (Once polish is done to whole car, now time for wax, i suggest DODO purple haze which do last a month and give perfect water beeding protection, or else Meg Ultimate wax/NXT 2.0/ 26# wax, these are so far perfect for limited budget and excellent result.) last you need approx 3 microfibers, 1 for drying,1 was polishing wipe, 1 for wax n final touches.
so WASH then wipe
then polish by rotory or hand applicator pads
then wipe and apply wax with its own applicator pad
and last wipe it off.
Remember, its useless to apply extra quantity of wax or polish, i wish you could spare some time n pay visit to lahore, i n DC team is always looking forward for you.
