Reflection


A day which burn a hole in my wallet..OOUCH ! >_<

I decided to send my ride for detailing job. I visit the detailing shop which is recommended by one of my friend who's driving an exotic car, a real expensive sports car to be exact..Not to mention his name here...:)

The lady boss of the shop is friendly enough to explain which package shall i take. At first, she recommend cleaning_waxing job..not the one i want. Told her i want the car to has almost swirl free, level out the swirls and fine scratches, finally took the package which include 2 layers of polishing.

The package offer for this detailing service include:

1. Washing

2. Claying

3. Paint cleaning and 2 layers polish.

4. Interior cleaning

5. Waxing

6 Engine washing (optional) i opt for it..

Here the some thoughts on how they done it.

1st step) Engine washing using Meguiars Degreaser, very strong chemicals that degrese stubborn dirt and oil..Drying is using BOSCH blower(dryer), nice gadget..Engine compartment, plastic parts spray with dressing oil.

2nd step) Washing, rinsing and drying

3rd step) Claying

4th step) Polishing

- 1st layer of polishing using Meguiars M85 Diamond Cut. FLEX rotary are in action, this rotary buffer is quiet, real silent compare to ciplak brand ROB. 1 or 2 pass of cutting compound work into it, all the deep scratches are now gone !! Yeepie !!

- 2nd layer of polishing using finer polish/cleaner, FLEX Dual Action(DA machine) to remove hazy effect left from the 1st layer. WAAAH ! I need a new spectacles too see how perfect is the paint condition, it looks better than new car ! really !

- 3rd, the sifu/boss inspect the polishing job in detail. There's a deep hairline scratch at bonnet, he then proceed with MAKITA rotary with wool pad, cut into the paint again..few passes of polishing before it can be successfully remove.

5th step) Dewax the polishing oil on the surface, finally seal it with Meguiars M21 synthetic sealant.

6th step) Interior cleaning, vacuum, glass cleaning

7th step) Exterior trim dressing

Whole process took more than 5hours. I wait there and enjoy watching every single process, too bad, i didn't bring my SLR to capture more photos, only my lousy cameraphone with so-so pictures.

Price? Cost me rm5xx, quite costly. I can't stop staring at the paintwork over and over again, this detailing job definitely burn a hole in my wallet but the satisfication worth the price i paid, no regret. :)
