WOOT, looks nice in the pic.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Or is it? Bird poo on the bonnet being baked by the heat of the engine.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Ants running around the windscreen which is pretty dirty<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />More bird poo at the spoiler.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Never detailed before rims.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Closer looks shows that..... its kinda......<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD06.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Lots of tar stains<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD07.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Dirt around the cars<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD08.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />More dirt<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD09.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Obvious place but seldom washed area<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Dirt at the door area<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Shoe shuffle marks<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After the car was given a Osren Bubble & Wax bath, it was OPC 1:3 all da way and below is the result. Dirty but not as dirty as I expected it.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Clayed the car...... only certain spots was pretty contaminated especially the roof, the rear and the lower region. The front bonnet and all seems pretty good. <img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Da owner giving it a try at claying<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD15.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Check out this stain....<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD16.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Macam chewing gum again?<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD17.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Clay and OPC the thing<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And as KC goes.... TADDAAAA<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD19.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This is the semi legendary DarkAccoon setting up his halogen lamp<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD20.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This is da owner of red hot sexy babe taping off parts that does not want to get polished off. YES, that is masking tape on her head..... I did that cause its fun.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Rear windscreen taped off..... CAR OF DA YEAR 2010<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD22.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Sides were taped off as well.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD23.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Headlamp were tape off as well. Did not actually intend to polish the headlamps but looking at the rainbox color watermark on it.... it was just too tempting for someone as passionate as me<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD24.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This is da watermark on all the glass.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD25.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Check out the leg stance and da seriousness in handling a power tool. Never take power tools for granted as it will do a lot of damage to everything around it. *With great powers, comes great responsibilities.*<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD26.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Evenly polished, nice and hazy<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD27.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Da owner decided to give it a try as well. <img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD28.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Determined to get rib of the watermark and master da rotary<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD29.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Results!!!!! I let it speak for itself<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD30.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I took over the wheel and continued the polishing. The previous photo still does have some watermark left.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD32.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And the end results of a master windscreen polisher<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD33.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After all glass and headlamp were polished, its time to give the hot babe a bath again. Again with Osren Bubble and Wax<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD34.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Doesn't the babe look pretty hot already.....<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD35.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Dripping wet babe.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD36.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />That would be me washing<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD37.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />That would be her drying. Cloth used is a chamois. Super absorbent and used correctly, will not create swirls during the drying process.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD38.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />On to the wheels<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD39.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />OPC 1:3 and you get flowing goodness....<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD40.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Without even agitating it...... I did agitate it later after this photo was taken<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD41.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And ya get this at the end of it all. Note: The rims were pretty messed with tar spots all over. I did not have the time to clay the rims nicely.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD42.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Almost done....<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD43.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Interior was given a quick wipe down with ONR...... YES, I used ONR to wipe the interior. HOHOHO.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD44.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Exterior was then Opti-Sealed and Optimum Car Wax, and you get awesome gloss<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD45.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Now, this is a clean car... sorta.... to be revealed later.<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD46.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Reflection shot...... lovely.....<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD47.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />All glass were given the Opti-Seal treatment and you get the below results(According to the lovely lady whom owns the car, previously, she paid RM200 just to get the front and back windscreen coated with some glass coating so that water beads......and it lasted ONLY 3 MONTHS). Opti Seal can be used for the entire car wei.......<img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa436/DarkAccoon/ABCDD48.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Note:- Driver side glass was polished whereas the passenger side glass were cleaned using FormalHero watermark remover.- Front and back windscreen has wiper hence I opt to polished instead of using watermark remover.- Headlamps rainbow color watermark was easily polished off with 1 pass of Optimum Hyper Polish- I was suppose to do paint correction as well on this car due to the many swirls and watermark on the paint + bird poo stains. However, due to logical thinking that the driver is most of the time inside the car, I gave priority to the interior which the owner agrees as well.- I promised the owner that I will give her babe another sexy treatment when the time comes FOC cause I myself am not really satisfied with this result.- Time constraint was due to owner personal reasons..... *cannot be revealed here.* hehe.- Paying RM200 to get your front and rear windscreen coated with some weird glass coating which only beads water for 3 months.... not cool. Opti-Coat makes more economical sense. 1 bottle can detailed up to 40 full size cars.... or probably a big huge ass gas tanker.Total time spend: 9.5 hoursItems used: OPC 1:0, 1:3, 1:5, ONR, Soft bristle brush, brush, lots of cloths, Optimum Car Wax, Opti-Seal, Osren Bubble and Wax, Optimum Hyper Polish, Optimum Double Sided Foam Pad, Makita 9227CSatisfaction Level: Personally I was not really satisfied. Given more time, I can turn this car around even further.Please leave me your comments (good or bad) as it is much appreciated.</blockquote>
