Waxing my friend's Honda City

[cvkit17]

Hi All! Its almost chinese new year and many of us would like ourselves and our cars to look good. So my friend asked if I can wax his car, so I accepted it.

But first I have to apologize that I'm not a detailer - im just an ordinary dude who washes and wax my own car, with an ROB. And sadly, I dont exactly did the before and after for each section of the car..still noob haha. Btw, here are the pics

Stain from another car. Managed to remove this but unfortunately i did not take the pic

Rims... brake dust and dirt and tar

Not bad from afar

Door handle...as usual, some random scratches. In photo its not so visible, but in real...omg

Very visible scratch on the side mirror. But luckily it is not very deep, succesfully removed but again, no picture >.!!!

Bird shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit !!!!

This was picked up from the roof

Finished product =)

Scratches removed and lightened.

Some reflectionsssss

Clean rims ^^

Hood reflection

Time spent: From 10.00am to 4pm. Lunch at 1pm, had KFC
Tired, but satisfied. Thanks for viewing

And erm...its not really waxing...i used sealant instead of wax for longer protection. Sorry for the title haha

Product wise use what is comfortable to you. You find it good just use. Clay, I also use PG ones only, but B&D ROB, the one that uses the cloth bonnet, then time to upgrade to BOSCH ROB using those foam pads....

Yes I want to change it too..changing the bonnet is troublesome and it doesn't has variable speed. And the choices of pads are limited. For normal waxing...ok lar at least better than using hands haha

I used to use one something like that, then after was introduced to the BOSCH unit, never looked back. Can do so much more with the different pads and products.
One of my friend bought the B&D also, after he saw my demo on the BOSCH, he also left the B&D aside already....
Not only changing the bonnet troublesome, but like you say can use for waxing and buffing only, use for polishing does not work well.....

Yalo...couldn't agree more. Last time noob mah haha don't know much bout it so just bought the B&D. If I see the bosch, I'll sure get i. Coz the bosch rob it is written on the box "random orbital sander" so I thought it is a different kind of equipment only for sanding hahaha

That is the thing, next when you upgrade to do sanding, you already have the equipment, just need different back plate and some special sandpaper......

Just rub it across the car with the clay? I tried it once on those rubber linings with clay, but then stain still there no matter how many times i did that but it was really really black. Pick up the most dirt from that part.

Rubber lining don't use the clay, will be a waste as it dirties the clay. Those black marks after just oxides rubber, The marks on the rubber is like fungus mark? If yes, very difficult yo remove one....
