Most extreme acid rain - water spots removal on a brand new peugeot- privilege detailing by KC
how to keep the white car white?
Malaysia is known for its tropical climate - plenty of heat & plenty of rain & plenty of acid rain = TA DA -------most severe acid rain
in the world
how to keep the white car white it is too much a challenge to keep our ride clean & looking cool....not easy & quite hard to achieve it...ended up....we let other help us to do it.... for we know the best that we can ever do for our car is to take ownership of it......

my buddy actually calls ask me to help him to preps & protect this new investment

great looking ! clean ! detail??? especially under bright sun light - nothing will hide - so much so if you are trying to find swirls on a white car under the sun will eventually blind your sight...for those of you had - i remember i did an E60 white & shot some pic under the sun, just before i sleep my eyes blink blink - comes watery - too much sun light entered into my retina - be careful !!! use proper shade or old negative to cut the glare of your camera view finder & proper sun glasses

What I did was
STEP 1 - wash - OPC 1 : 5 dilutions with brushes for all windows & stains area
STEP 2 - preps - CLAY with Onr as lubrications - removing tar spots & stains at the hard to reach area. ONR wash after claying
STEP 3 - Paint Corrections - Start off with Osren Velvet pad - Optimum Hyper spray compound ( 3 puff on the pad - speed 1 to spread - speed 3 - 3.5 to level out the paint -)
followed by LC double sided wool pad with Optimum Hyper spray compound ( 3 puff on the pad - speed 1 to spread - speed 3 to level out the paint -)
followed by LC Cutting foam pad with Optimum Hyper spray compound ( 3 puff on the pad - speed 1 to spread -gradually increase to speed 3 )
polish with Megs Polish pad with Optimum Hyper spray Polish ( 3 puff on the pad - speed 1 to spread - gradually increase to speed 2 & finish off at speed 1)
polish with LC Glazing pad with Optimum Hyper spray Polish ( 3 puff on the pad - speed 1 to spread - gradually increase to speed 2 & finish off at speed 1)
STEP 4 - Protection - Optimum Protection with Optimum Coating for good ( say bye bye to wax)
STEP 5 - need to be maintain by the owner - a weekly wash ( not road side wash again)
You can make a different ....... there is a real story
one day that there is a man who like to stroll on the beach prior going to work & he saw a young man like dancing, as he approach he saw this little young boy, throwing back the star fish into the sea - he ask there are miles & mile of star fish on the shores - its foolish of you to waste your time pick them up - you cant saves them all...this young man came back & pick up & throw another start fish into the sea & replied "for that star fish - i make a different"
it is always impossible to reach the world - even all the car owners in our country - but for this - i make the diffrent
thanks again for taking your precious time to view
now could give me some air to breath

Great job, KC!! But this has to be one of the newest cars I have seen you do, and you still took it to the next level!!! I cannot think of a better LSP for Malaysia than Opti-Coat.

Excellent work.
Nice job capturing before and after pictures, white can be a challenge to work with when trying to capture defects.
