time Festive celebrations - means lot of preparations AKA lot of hard work - of sweat

DSCF2784.JPG


Spring cleaning time – upon arrival of my buddy ride, he explained that he has been sending this 2 years ride to be detail every time when there is a festive season –( once yearly????)...but is it necessarily for the car paint to be polish & corrected every time - will our clear coat 2 mil of an micron last with stand against these harshness ???? wrong hands

I questions why there is the need of paint correction every year –
He reply “ I thought it is necessarily, just like spring cleaning !!!!!! I say “What”!!!!!

look at how ONR traps changes the water behaviour & tensions to hold up these dirt sands & dust beneath -

just a quick wash aka wipe with ONR - most owners or detailer would like an instant gratifications - so harsh chemicals or acids use to create this transformations but after a prolong time - our wheels clear coat begin to chips & peels
what we need is just a quick effective wash to remove these dust
if u do have some tar stains - try claying them

as for me i usually use the balance ONR solution with a separate MF to wash these contaminated ares

He has not been with his ride while the correction is being done for the past 2 times but this time different story , as I want him to knowe what is the damage & how to restore it

DSCF2883.JPG


now it is ready
DSCF2885.JPG



my buddy has not seen his paint in these condition in fact after detail twice


as most of these detailer - asked him to be excuse - where I invite him to witness the whole proses



what we did was
ONR wash - 3 micro fibers

clay with oNR as lube (2 ounces in 500 ML)

wheels Onr wash

tire - OPC & brushes

OPC dilutes 1 :5 water for external cleanning


Paint correction

Megs M 105 wit double sided LC wool X 2 passes - spread speed 1 & polish at speed 3 - 2nd pass with ONR as lube – to rework again

Megs M 105 with LC cutting pad X 2 passes with ONR sprayed as Qd lube - gently & slowly to correct this soft paint

M80 polishing with Megs W8027 polishing pads X 2 passes - spread speed 1 & polish at speed 3 - 2nd pass with ONR as lube – to rework again

finishing M 80 with LC finishing pads – blue X 2 passes - spread speed 1 & polish at speed 3 - 2nd pass with ONR as lube – to rework again

lastly protected by Opti seal (3-4 times yearly) a bottle will last 4 applications & 10 years

strengthen with - Optimum Car wax in 10 minutes\\\so simple tht we can do it regularly without effort
Megs


Before he left I gave him a bottle of ONr + 3 plushy microfibers

handling him back the baton to care for his own car

no more excuse - no more road side as well
