Most extreme acid rain - water spots removal on a brand new peugeot- privilege detailing by KC

[kc's]

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......



good looking ride - just slightly 2 months old



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



cant complaint much!! lets move in - closer & nearer -



scratches - from parking curb - i guess more scratches



ehhhh....dirty car....any underlying issue?? will soon check it out...on the plastic bumper



unwashed wheels & brake dust



ehhhh...swirls???



closer look...on the engine hood



excuse the glare -


but is there a deeper issue?? - lets find out together



more



close up



imagine



the amount of scratches & swirls found on these plastic - is also found on the ride as well eg last rear 1/4 area next to the brake light



door panel -

the inductor


plenty of water spots - esp on the windows




unwashed wheels

useful esp - wheels area

moving on
petrol cap area


side steps


door jams area


opc work great for removing grease stains


side skirt before


after wash - close up


more - tars stains - tiny little splints like in our skins- can be quite an irritant


some found at the front bumper



rear lower bumper on the white car



STEP 2 - paint preps begins


and i actually took 2 hours to clay them off

eg

tars spots on the left wheel arch area


ONR sprayed on as clay lubricants


clay on


gone off


more stains & tar collected-


remember to check prior moving to the next area

stains found on the emblem


imagine is just a 2 months old ride


lets clay them off


ta da


now you see - before


now you dont



more hidden stain beneath the rear windows


lets do the clay


side window water stains


after clayed


needn't to use force - as some road side car wash would use aggressive acidic cleaners & scrubs with force

eg

tars stain beneath the rear bumper


ta da

just clay with ONR as lube

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



a bit more - cool air


do you know why this is the most dangerous part of the ride ???


cos it is the nut behind the wheels

have a fun filled day

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.

This is so true! Sometimes I feel like the man, other times I feel like the child, in my personal life. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent work.

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

[C. Charles Hahn]
