FQ400 quick detailed for Chinese New Dragon Year Purpose

(disclaimer: picture taken using stone-aged iphone 4)

This is not a JDM ride, but it happen to come from the UK, her name is more than juz evolution, rather having a code, FQ400

of which this reminds me of Mr Clarkson's review



picture shown together with optimum products, and a very magical wax, one of the most expensive wax i bought since detailing, Meguiar's NXT 2.0 wax, it smells juz sweet
overall view b4 i start quick detailing, i had part of the car rinsed with water in order to check the paint condition


some dirt stain on the intercooler


VR TE37 wheels

rear wheel
if u noticed, the clear coat seems to fade n becoming slightly pinkish

and with water, u may discover how the clear coat had failed causing blur surface





HKS fuel?



nice carbon muffler cover

its spoiler, from the surface u can tell its very different from the JDM spoiler, coz its fully carbon fiber
minor scratch which i will remove


engine bay looks good from far


a closer look?

but, some dirt


after clean with OPC


of what i clayed from a small part of the roof

for what i did for quick detailing:
ONR wash
OPC clean on serious dirty parts
PG clay with ONR as lube
then Opti Seal
and finally the Meguiar's NXT 2.0 syn wax


n the result from quick detailing

it regain its shinny gloss back, if u noticed, i had the stain on the intercooler removed

more reflection?














FQ 400, armed with HKS V-pro, CF cluster etc...


as a result. i wouldn;t say the gloss would last long, it should b consider as temporary purpose
the quick detailing is to let the owner to drive this lovely ride during our holiday here, Chinese New Year
maybe until nx time i would hav this ride fully detailed

Happy Chinese Dragon New Year!!!
