Paint Correction On Proton Saga

Hi all..so I just received my new backing plate and cutting & polishing pad bought from i4detailing (Click to go to i4detailing website). So I can start my next project..Yeayyyy!!! I am 1 step closer to become a detailer.

So, I am going to detail my mother's car. I inspected the car and found lots of deep scratchs..ouchhh!  /shock...Lots of work to be done here..brace your own self aiman!!! B-)

Equipment & Tools:

1. TW No Rinse Wash & Wax
2. Meguair's Clay Bar
3. Skil Polisher
4. Wool Pad
5. Lake Country CCS White Polishing Pad
6. TW Premium Rubbing Compound
7. TW Premium Polishing Compound
8. TW Super Hard Shell
9. Car Plan Black Trim Wax
10. Lots of Microfiber Towel

The car initial condition:

The car was washed first. After that clay the car to prepare the paint for compounding & polishing. Before compounding, I did a test on wool pad and a cutting foam pad. Just to see the difference on the cutting ability on this paint.

Result:

Wool pad:

 Removed all of the swirl marks.

Foam pad:

 Removed most but still left some tiny swirl marks. I am gonna use wool pad on this paint.

Deep scratches on the bonnet. Steps:

1) Wet sanding using 1000 to 2000 grit

2) compound using TW rubbing compound & wool pad

3) polish using TW polishing compound & Lake Country CCS White Polishing pad.

The result: Walla!! /wahaha

Scratches on car handle was removed:

Oxidation on signal light was removed:

Working on late night. Was worried I bothered the neighborhood with the sound of my rotary.

Scratches above tire. Steps:

1) Wet sanding using 1000 to 2000 grit

2) compound using TW rubbing compound & wool pad

3) polish using TW polishing compound & Lake Country CCS White Polishing pad.

Side door was hand compound & polish:

Plastic trim was restored using Car Plan Black Trim Wax.

Before:

After 3 rounds of this stuff:

Done with restoring the paint. Now it's time to protect the paint with Turtule Wax Super Hard Shell. As I was completely worn out that night, I decided to wax it the next day. See that water beading effect? That means the car got a layer of wax. It is one of the ways to check whether your car paint has wax on it or not.

After 2 full days of battling with tiredness, sleepiness and not to forget my father's demotivating word saying "buat apa la beria polish kereta...nnt hujan habisss" like 10 times /sweat...but all that fail to stop me from doing something that i am passionate about. bak kata orang putih "practice makes perfect". This is what I am doing.

The end result, cristal clear reflection!! :

See the reflection of the sky?? makes me wanna fly /blush

That was the handsome me :D

Turtule Wax No Rinse Wash on Honda City 2015

I so yesterday I bought my polishing machine. It is 750W Skil Polisher. Also bought some compound which are TW Rubbing Compound & TW Polishing Compound.

Oppppssss...the foam pad has already torn form previous polishing project

sorry i did not take any picture...I think the pad was too dry during the polishing process..it is so damn hard to apply paste abrasive on the pad.

 I have to buy liquid abrasive...so with my polishing pad worn out, I purchased some online. While waiting, I planned to do a TW no rinse wash &wax review. So, get your popcorn and prepare to be amazed!!

Equipment and Tools:

1. TW No Rinse Wash & Wax
2. Black Magic No Scrub Wheel Cleaner
3. Car Plan Ultra Shampoo
4. Stoner More Shine
5. TW Rubbing & Polishing Compound(Did not use this stuff on this review. Happened to be in the pic. Just bought this stuff. Can't wait to apply on my new pad)

First off, I put TW No Rinse Wash & Wax in a spray bottle

Next, I rinse the car. Working from top to bottom. Spray some TW No Rinse Wash & Wax. Then dry it with microfiber towel. Here is the result. Sorry forgot to take picture before the wash.

To my surprise, this product is what TW claim it is. It gave amazing gloss but there was no water beading effect. So I guess you have to apply separately another layer of wax for extra protection. As for the wheels, sprayed down with Black Magic No Scrub Wheel Cleaner and waited for a minute or two. Although the product said no scrub, still I wanted to scrub it for maximum cleaning. Scrubbed the wheels with brush and microfiber towel soaked in Car Plan Ultra Shampoo. The result.

Successfully cleaned the wheels but there were tar that could not be removed. Need to use tar remover. Next, coated the tire with Stoner More Shine. That all from me. Thanks for spending your 5 minutes reading my 20 cent  post :)
