[kc2]

MOST EXTREME ENGINE TRANSFORMATIONS - this is a true story of how one from Rag to Riches, ever told by Detailien

My buddy drove down 500 KM from PERLIS to ask me to detail his ride -

A date set & all necessarily arrangement for this full correction

Many would have avoided this section of the ride -
too much hassle & too little satisfaction

Back ground
No - high pressure jet - only a few pairs of brushes & hands

But as for me.....I had a little help from my apprentice - my youth from a children home - who love detailing & we did it together

Hi kc2,

I'm very impressed on you hand work.
Could you help me to guide how to wash using your product? Or what I should buy.
All I need just a everyday or frequent wash...
Since my area are kampung + gravel + mud...

Nowadays are raining season, my car will end up like this Honda everyday.
All mud + dust + other annoying me everyday.
Even tough I sent for wash very frequently...
Above all I need to protect my Carbon Fiber to become faded.

Please help, your kind respond very much appreciated.

bro detailing help anytime

what you should need is "& all of us got an ISSUE with T.I.M.E (constrain & fight against) we only want simple easy & effective

who ever imagine you can fried an egg without oil, esp 20 years ago - who ever dream that you can actually see another person live on a mobile phones & an internet which we can connects the whole world) available at our finger tips

1) good effective car wash - so simple you can do it almost anywhere & anytime - minimum once a week

2) good car wax - so easy you can wax in 10-15 minutes that u can do it every week ...at least once a month, lastly does not leave any residues stain yr plastic & vinyl

3) sealant - one that protect not only yr paint but plastic, vinyl , mirror , esp front wind screen (safety + does not jagged yr silicon wiper - as it cos hundreds of $ to replace) easy to apply (again 10-15 per car ) only need 3-4 times a year + cos effective (eg RM 2.8 per applications)

4) interior - one dressing for both leathers & plastic interior (even for engine vinyl & rubber parts) a UV protectant & not oily dressing offer no protection - do you know our weather is worst in the world to maintain car - Heat + Rain + acid rain & industrial fall out (which you can find in the world. ( once the detailer expert came to Malaysia - he only discover that we have the worst acid rain in the world)

5) A multi purpose cleaner both safe for car clear coat (exterior ) & same time for interior
so cost effective that - you can dilute to suits your need
