detailing maintenance?

after 1 year plus i detailed this silver arrow, i've been thinking to do some touch up
therefore i think i can do things like removing water marks from wind screen and to restore the headlamp back from yellowish

as the picture shown, water marks, after a surface condition test using water

some water marks
overall condition looks good
this is a 50/50 test, left side using ONR, right right, normal cloth wash for comparison
water draining speed different as well
yellowish headlamps
some of the dirty parts





when cleaning with optimum power clean

after cleaned
picture of after cleaned with ONR
reflection returned




one of the cleaned handles

under the sun
time to clear some water marks
masking... hav the ingredient applied 50/50
50/50 lower part, polished, upper part, none


result after clayed, polish with m205 using lake country polishing pad
i must admit some of the watermark still remained, but i'm sure its ready for some water test
headlamps, clayed using ONR as lubricant, use "yellowish remover"(i forgot the name), m205 n polished, protected with opti-seal

reflection test
my recipe, not to mention i did hav the car opti-sealed and opti-waxed

enjoy the progress, result, from detailing

at night time when rain falls, water beadingsit turn to b crystal?

how good can optimum power clean works?

these are some of the result i tried using this product, Optimum Power Clean
paint surface safe as well

1 day after 50/50 for a ONR cleaned combine with OPC, the right side is untouched, raining, to b clear the water start to hav some beading while the dity part stick the water together collecting dust
how about car interior? leather seats? no problem

2 engine bay i tried b4

after

another engine, b4
and there after
hope u guys can see the differences from b4 and after
and hope u enjoy reading~~!!

easy way for water beading on glass?

this is a way how u can get yr glasses clean n smooth water flows when driving in rain for better visibility

this, a window which juz cleaned with juz water, can easily see the water is sticking on the glasses, perhaps until it dry, where earth;s gravity does not help to pull the water down
i clayed the glasses, using ONR as lubricant

starting to hav some water beading after the combination of clay and ONR, but that's not what i want

and this, is the water beading i called, thanx to opti-seal

some water beading test

so did i use any machine o rotary? nope
did i used oil based product? nope
did i use product that is harmful to wiper? nope, as optimum is a company which using polymer technology which it is designed for environment friendly as well, if it is harmful? u may see detailers like us hav very bad looking fingers

TQ for reading!!~~

a little assignment for my satria neo

its been really a while since i last update my detailing blog here
hope my sifu(master) does not blame me for not doing my homework which happen to be part of my bad habbit

since i;m having my very personal holiday, its time to update for my latest art work

recently i scratched my car while driving pass some fallen brunches which i was unable to evade, end up it caused some seriousness injury to my paint work

let's put a test for not using rotary use purely hands for the work
as u can see from above, the headlamp starting to get blur after sometime when i was outstation n no one has actually take good care of her

what i did was:
1, to use our very signature product of alien juice, known as the ONR to clean my car;
2, clayed the defect part like headlamp, the scratches;
3, i juz use meguiar's NXT 2.0 wax to wax on the headlamps

the result is

pretty satisfying to get the shinny headlamps back
the scratch stil remains lightly as i did not use rotary to repair the paint job as a test

for my wheels
this is how my wheel look like b4 i clean
actually i did clean n clayed the wheels
the result is juz WOW~

(forget bout the rust stain caused my water -.-)
in the end of the day i stil get my shinny wheels back

TQ for reading and i hope i m able to post more about detailing soon
