hi guys! it has been a long silence....had some issue with occupation hazard...do check out my blogs Car detailer
Concours d'Elegance
A Competition for teams masters class cars and club displays based on originality and preparation plus shine of well details. thats the birth place of car detailing
nice classic ride but...closer look again...the paint is oxidized..and nothing much to show in d'Elegance
French meaning a competition of elegance, lit. "concourse of excellence", referring to the gathering of prestigious cars...
dates back to 17th Century French aristocracy, who paraded horse-drawn carriages in the parks of Paris during Summer weekends and holidays.Over time, carriages became horseless and the gatherings became a competition among automobile owners to be judged on the appearance of their automobiles.
oppss!!!! hmmm does this qualify here!!!!
Commonly are held at automobile shows or after racing competitions, eg like pebble beach and Louis Vuitton Classic in midtown Manhattan
not too bad looking far away
but, under proper sunlight...ta da....swirls & paint oxidixed...
just like the classic above
proper close up
at the back boot as well
more visible swirls
front side arch - dullness & worn out paint
even worn think this is a tree more like a car - eco-lised looks
but our Malaysian mentality is such, when we visit a used cars dealer ......
you will hear lots of these words "No worries its a new paint job & saves you alot of $$$ & headache????
Really!!! may i ask what happen to the old....(why was the original coat repplaced???)
As we knows repainted cars usually does have alots of issue, esp is done out of speed & lack of attention to the details attitude.....adding on if happen to patronised road side car wash..frequently
will cause......cause....cause.......faster premature worn off such as.....
sign of paint failure -
2 reason here - chances are this is a repainted car.....and done improperly - basically the prep work before the paint is not properly prepare - putty, primer is so bad that cause the paint to deteriorate before its time - the factory painted is done immaculately & suppose to last a life time but...sad to say.... most repaint work last only a very short life spent
2ndly ....a regular road side car wash patronizer....harsh cleaning - use of strong detergent that contains alot of chemicals that is harmful to our paint coat
But as for this - is a poor paint job
Last sat, we just had An intensive crash Mastering Rotary course (advance level paint correction detailing class) some participants even came as far as ipoh who left at 4.30 am, another from seremban & 5 mores
Ladies & gentleman -

Arsenal for the war, Confucius once says "knowing one self & knowing yr enemy you can win the war".....
