Please SAVvy me. a tale of neglect.

On the 2nd week of CNY, my brother left his Savvy to me as he will be gone to Bali for a week. I had my ways with her.

Without much rambling and nonsense, i shall present to you....... her condition at arrival.


With more light exposure

From the side..... ewww how can it be neglected to such state.

The door jam hinge area....superbly neglected

The swirls....


Now comes the part that is NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED

Dust + Dirt + Leaves + Everything that is not suppose to be on your paint all baked under the sun for god knows how long


Nicely done sun dried crap

WHAT IS THIS!!!!!

ohhh , spider web.....wtf, spider web? Spider man made a nest outta the car exterior.

More bird crap around the car

Unknown substance.....from another planet

Probably 1 inch of dirt

The swirls are so bad that even a normal 20W energy saving bulb can reveal it

Door hinge area that is .......

Result of unknown substance baked unto plastic

hmm.... looks like no one saw this

or this

or this

or even this

left skirt..... i wun want my gf to wear this skirt.

Oxidise paint

The spoiler that was affected

More swirls



OKAY, ENOUGH RAMBLING bout how bad the car condition was. Bottom line, it was a nest for bugs.

So now comes.... CLEANING.
used water to spray away all the dried leaves and loose dirt

That is not all the leaves, still got somemore. A lot more went down the drain or down the road.


1st wash with Meg Wash and Wax followed by a round of Optimum Power Clean (mixture of 1:1 and 1:3 was used)
Results... stunning reflection... hardly, that is just water reflecting from the front panel as the water just sticks on the paint.

ME....

A clean car is a happy car.

Really happy car....

So happy that the sunset comes so beautifully

Door hinge before

Door hinge after

Revealing a deep scratch to the core and me... in SHORTS, SLIPPERS and SLEEVELESS

Mamma MIA.... how black is the bucket of water used to rinse the cloth for OPC the car..., worry not as I use another bucket of water to re-rinse the cloth


Fuiyoh, cantik punya reflection wor. Macam 1080P HD movie

Hardly... the truth


Truth reveals all that is underneath

Swirls found EVERYWHERE

And I mean everywhere

RIDS + SWIRLS

At B Pillar

More alien things

The oxidised spoiler

More on it

A sorta 50/50 ya. After 2 passes of Optimum Hyper Compound with double sided wool pad


The difference between the front bumper and the front bonnet.....

1x Hyper Compound + 2x Hyper Polish = MAMMA MIA

Sanity restored

Bird shit stain and swirls

After compounding.... hologram

After polishing.... hologram gone

After compounding the bonnet..... hologram again

With hologram, comes polishing and say BYE BYE hologram

YUM YUM

Now enjoy

That is my White car...

That was reflected off the Savvy

Which was not far away

Tunjuk muscle sikit



Thank you and sorry for the amount of pictures. Hope you guys enjoy it and lesson learn... black savvy = hard to detail as the paint is soft and hologram comes easily.

Need to learn from sifu sifu sekalian on photography skills d.... i believe my pics are not up to par and do the car no justice.
