Customer No. 1 : Full Detail Session No. 2 [ Part Three ]

I proceeded to working in one of MG's myriad of cleaner / polish onto the bodywork. I used my new Bosch dual orbiter machine. Slapped on one MG's polishing pad on the Bosch, primed it up with one quick spray of the Quik Detailer, put some cleaner / polish product on the pad, and primed the area I wanted to work on, and then , polish away! Here's two pictures showing the results of ater working in the MG cleaner / polish compound.

See the millions of sparkles from the silver colour ( flash was not used )? Wow!!!!!
Peekaboo! Look at the reflection? And remember : work was done under a shade, and once again, flash was not utilised for this picture too. Beautiful!

Customer No. 1 : Full Detail Session No. 2 [ Part Two ]

This morning ( or more like late morning, oopppsssie! ), I proceeded to apply Quik Detailer on the whole car via MG's MF applicator pad. This step is taken because the car was parked overnight afer washing + drying + claying + washing + drying step last night, and to remove as many dusts, and foreign particles off the car's bodywork, and in the same time, prepping the car for cleaner / polish work.




Customer No. 1 : Full Detail Session No. 2 [ Part One ]

He was late for his full detail appointment, 2 weeks too late.

Ah, the car looks allright from this picture ( no flash was used ). But...

Look at the rear bonnet! And this was all over the car....the 2 next pictures is from the front bonnet and follewed by the picture from the roof.

So, 45 mins later, I proceeded to wash, clay and wash the car again. After drying, I parked the car under the lights to find and reduce the apperance of glaring scratches. Later, the tyres was dressed with MG's grape - smelling tyre dresser.

My Own Car #4

Don't you guys think this is good for a car with such light colour? And yesterday, the car was driven around the construction work around the SMART tunnel / Kampung Pandan roundabout, plus it rained a wee bit also? Hehe!

My Own Car #3

I'm not sure why only one of the various pictures I've posted, can be clicked for a larger image. Anyway, here's one of the other pics I've posted earlier. I'll see whether the pic can be clicked for a larger one.


This pic was taken from my car's roof, check out the depth of the cloud's reflection, and need I rmeind you guys that my car is yellow ( one of the light colours in the multitude of colour's palette? Hehe! )? If my car is black in colour, I'm sure it'll show off a lot better!

My Own Car #2

I've just taken these two pics moments ago. It was drizzling a wee bit ( god chance to see the water beading effect, I guess? ) though.


How's the water beading?

Nice, clear reflection on the bonnet, and also slight reflection of the corrugated wall on the left hand side of the car. Note that the lighting at where the car is parked is minimal. I suppose, this is pretty good ( in my books, that is ) !

My Own Car #1


How's the reflection? Please note that this picture was taken under a shade, at even at that time ( 5-ish p.m ), the sun was hiding. There's still some swirls ( hard too see here ), but I will work on my car again. Anyway, now my car looks wet and shiny, and this is not an easy task, especially for a car that's yellow in colour, like mine.
