OTS Products Review: Pink Putra, A new lease of Sight

Today I am gonna show you what can be done with Off The Shelve (OTS) products for water mark.

Subject:
Rear windscreen of Putra. Anyone whom owns sedan cars will know that watermark tend to be very very prominent especially on the rear glass (but not limited to the rear lar, still got front and side)
As seen, morning dew/mist is best to show watermarks.


Look at the amount of dirt on the thing....berapa ribu tahun takde cuci.....


Actually only two days takde cuci.... industrial area.... memang teruk acid rain.


Now comes the OTS Hero called FORMALHERO..... the only thing that differs this from other watermark removal liquid is........ read the label and you will see AMMONIA FREE.

BUT, DO NOT USE THIS ON FRONT WINDSCREEN, unless you want wiper marks to appear


Treated half half. Left half is treated whereas right half is just left as it is.


After treatment, water just sticks to the windscreen like girls to diamonds. This is after i try to wipe it off with my barehands....


After treating the entire glass, comes.......what da heck is that white stuff?


Again another OTS product that interests me, "anti mist". Come on, be honest, we all hate morning mist on the windscreen in the morning.


After "Anti Mist" was buff off, u get.....


Squeaky clean, shiny shine glass


Spray water....


Water glides off


Spray more water


More water glide off.....


Spray front windscreen with water.... water still glide off.. (this is only cleaned and Opti-Sealed, no "watermark removal" done here for fear of wipermarks.)

For 9gag fans


Answer to him up there.....


Dun you just hate to drive after a rain when your side mirrors are like this....


Makes seeing cars a bit difficult.


Washed, Opti-Seal, buff


Spray water now....


Mother off...... it does not get wet....


Spray more water... same results


WARNING: Never ever ever use glass cleaner, RainX, or acid on your side mirrors, these are plastic, not glass. Based on experience, after using RainX or similar products, the reflection returns a hazy cloudy reflection which cannot be polished off, cleaned off. And I had to resort to change the mirror.

Rest of the car is just washed with OSREN Bubble & Wax



Time spend: 45 minutes (inclusive of washing the car)
Satisfaction level: Not bad for OTS products.

Myvi interior and engine bay detailed.

Been awhile since my hiatus. My next detailing adventure brings me to Melaka, the historical state and heaven for food.

This car belongs to my gf and recently came out of the workshop due to an accident. Interior was detailed bout a year ago and engine bay was never touched since she got the car bout 4 years plus ago.

So we start off with the interior:

Some mud mark left by the people whom repaired her car.

Some after picture of the mud mark

Picture looks brighter as the doors are open now. Remedy, Optimum Power Clean + Brush + Water

Left area at driver side BEFORE

This is after.... only took a minute to get this part done

Door panel was not spared from mud marks.

The all very familiar brush now.... OPC the panel and wipe away with water and cloth

Legend has it that with a clean horn button, your honking will sound louder.... dun think it is true.

Door panel 50/50. Left is the cleaned panels, right side is the cleaned panel after being protected by a coat of Meguiars Leather Protector


The speaker cover is not spared, must clean kau kau.Made easy by OPC.

Dashboard was also given the same treatment of OPC and Meguiars LP.

Secret to a nice dashboard is.... Less is More (copied from KC2). Apply just enough of the LP instead of too much and you get a protected dashboard and not oily dashboard.

Amount of dirt from the interior alone.... and this was detailed about a year ago....


Moving on to the engine bay.
Brake fluid cover.

With a simple wipe of OPC


I forgot which part is this.... but yeah, dust everywhere.

Cleaned with a modified brush and OPC 1:5

Clean boh?

Aiseh...... still so dusty wan

Again with OPC 1:5 and modified brush

Air filter cover arr...... this part hard to wipe, just use brush only,

Results....

No before shot for this, but this is the after shots of dirty places after being cleaned.... kinda missed out a lot of before shots because of hard to see places at first. When you start cleaning, u will see more n more spots to clean.

This is the part where engine oil goes in. And true to dumb careless mechanics, they spill oil all over and never bother wiping it off cause of hard to reach place, so dirt accumulated there.

Again, OPC 1:5 kau tim the job. See how shiny the metal is


Water tank filler cap.

Radiator fan cover also cleaned.

Guess which part is this.

The lining in between the windscreen and the engine bay. Go look at some myvi and see how dirty it is.Engine bay overview... clean boh?

Moving on to exterior

Lotsa shit around.


Some mucus like thingy on the glass

After ONR


The rubber lining at the feet area always stuck with mud

All the gaps cleaned


WHO WANTS TO SEE HOW SHINY THE CAR IS NOW AFTER ONR ONLY. Even spider also raise both hands up.




Exterior will need more work as the workshop has left hell a lot of over spray. Will be moving on to the exterior in a few weeks time when she comes back to my area where all my tools are. Another epic in the making.

Tools used: OPC, ONR, Modified Brush, Soft Bristle Brush, Meguiars Leather Protector and patience
Time spend: about 4 hours
