Car is constantly subjected to acid rain (those who stay in Puchong area will understand what I mean)
And as all know so well..... white car and acid rain will not match. Become zebra ada lar.
Amount of dirt from just one short rain shower
Can see tears coming from the eyes also...
This white knight super sexy with sexy mole just below its eyes....
Some unknown stain + acid rain join together.
OPC it away
Acid rain mark from under the rear bonnet
OPC it away
Hidden dirt caked up near the side mirror.
OPC it away with a brush
Small corners between metal and plastic also need to OPC
Roof gaps also need to OPC. Half half.
White car = dirt more obvious.
Even with car shampoo also cannot wash it off
Overview
So white knight says.... OPC it away
More acid rain stains
OPC it away (this is the other side of the car, not inverted image)
Acid rain mark from the door water release holes (this is the area just above the skirting)
After OPC..... (again, this is the other side of the car, not an inverted image)
Shoe shuffle mark.... wish my friends would lift their feet higher when entering and exiting the car.
Easily dealt with OPC
Inspira and Lancer owners will know what mark is this
OPC it away
So remember, OPC is your best pal to fight against......... ACID RAIN. Following are photos of areas I clean but only got 'before' photos. Dun wanna bore u all with the same thing again and again
NOW..........
WHAT CAN OPC DO FOR YOUR ENGINE?
Looks clean hor......
See properly
Simple wipe of OPC and rinse with another wipe of ONR
Closer look at the engine bay
Why.... got sand wan? (car is used mostly for highway, so yeah, sand do get to that area)
OPC and agitate with a nylon brush
Engine oil refuel cap
[
Most road side "engine wash" will settle for this result
I settle for nothing less than this
Air filter also got sand on top.....
ONR with a brush (no OPC used here)
Air-cond pipe that is constantly wet being exposed to the elements.... dust sticks to it lor....
[
Another wipe of OPC and followed by another wipe of ONR
Water used to rinse both the OPC and ONR cloth. hmm..... dirty leh.
These are the items used to detail the Engine Bay...... Glass cleaner and wheel cleaner and some pee in a bottle.......
In actual fact.... its OPC of different dilution and ONR in the glass cleaner bottle. I love to recycle...... in this age...... recycling is the IN THING =P
Now we go to the INTERIOR.....
Lots of sand, dust and stones
Carpet was taken out to wash with OPC 1:3 and brushed. As there is no coffee, starbucks and etc stains (owner dun drink coffee wan) on the main carpet, its just vacuum.
Side steps.... again with the shuffle marks.....
50/50 on the side steps
Fully detailed driver side
Rear side steps.... tortured by passengers
Kasi OPC it with a mixture of 1:5 and 1:3
Results
The nut cover for the front seats kena kick until came out....
OPC it 1:5
Fully detailed (note, scratches cannot be fix.....)
Door panel.... know which side is cleaned with OPC and which side isn't?
Rear passenger door panel... always kena kick by passengers wan
Dashboard was given a nice OPC bath as well.
[I
Amount of dirt from the interior alone. Note that the leather seats were not detailed.
Interior was later protected with a layer of nice smelling Meguiars Leather Protectant
Now, sit back and enjoy the reflection shot of a car surface that has not been compounded, polished or corrected even once.
All these nice sweet glossiness is archived by.... ONR Bath.
So..... ppl ask me how many cloth I have to detail a car.....
A full detail will use me this amount of cloth.....
And brushes.....
Total time spend: 3 hours
Items used: OPC 1:0, 1:3, 1:5, ONR, Soft bristle brush, brush, lots of cloths, Optimum Car Wax
Satisfaction Level: Awesomeness
Please leave me your comments (good or bad) as it is much appreciated.
