[OT] Official Car Care and Discussion (QnA) Thread

Look what the mail man brought! :gusta:

InshAllah would soon be ordering Ultimate compound, polish and wax. But i am afraid i might end up spending more than my car is worth. Lol

P- Just hit 110 with 5 people today. ( this was when i was coming home from Airport and had been asked to speed up )

4- side windows have water stains that simply don't go away no matter what.
5- micro scratches on the wind shield(really hard to notice but its kinda getting on my nerves)

4- You might wanna try Vinegar + Water, rubbed off by a lint free cloth (or a newspaper. They work surprisingly well on glass surfaces).
5- If they're deep enough that they bother you (in that, disperse light at night time) you might want to consider getting the windscreen 'buffed'. Are you from Lahore? I know where they do that here.

Journeys End said:

il try that vinegar trick and will post results

no i dont live in lahore. i knw abt buffing but the scratches are not visible at all. i only see them when cleaning and they annoy me for no reason

So should we expect a detailing session of your car soon ??

Journeys End said:

Not soon coz i m more confused and clear minded lol
il prolly get someone else to do it for me. I've heard there is a shop in isloo that do these sorta stuff and they use those high quality wax/polish and compound u guys talk abt.

Detailing is such a Abuses will lead to ban. Just paid a guy to detail my car, instructed him on every corner. My car looks so good now. Used Turtle Wax compound to compound it first, and then washed the car with Wash & Wax.
BTW does any know how to open seal of the Turtle Wax Wax & Dry? Apparently I cannot get that open

Always wanted you dead, but after this, I'll ensure I personally plant the C4 like the Ramzan days and make minced meat out of you.

Half the fun is doing it yourself. Even though the end result may not be as good as one where you pay someone to do it, but hey, where's the fun in that? Fun + the satisfaction after doing it yourself = win win win.

For me, every fortnightly Sunday is a special day where teh cars get my time. Personally, that's one of my happiest days.

Although I have the motivation, I'm just too lazy. So yeah, instead of doing it myself and possibly not getting good results I'll pay someone to do it instead.

Also, you're welcome to plant the C4 phat-ass :finger:

Oh the irony.

Try it some time though. You'll learn with time + the joy in seeing the end result and feeling that YOU are the reason behind it is too good.

RPG his car :laugh1:

Well, expect detailing pictures from my side on a new graphite gray Swift (EXTREME AMOUNTS OF ORANGE PEEL :X) and if I have time then Axio as well.

Have you tried pressing the spray thing?
(the tip of the spray bottle thing moves. The square bit in the front. Turn it 90 degrees to either side. Noob).

Al Qaeda? Abuses will lead to ban please. This time I'm coming myself.

^I'll try that. BTW, do take the long detour, so as to reduce some weight on the way.

OK so my neighbours hit my car today. A big dent on driving side door. It is completely moulded inside. They acknowledged their mistake and are ready to pay the repair charges. Good thing is I had a bit of rust on the lower edge of my car which I wanted to get fixed for a pretty long time but now will get that fixed too in the same amount. Bad thing is I need to leave my car for 2 days which is going to be a hard task.

Anyhow, i will post pics and let you guys know, I asked 2 denters, both gave me a rough estimate of around 3000 rupees. So this is the amount i will shell out from my neighbour. After the repairs, inshAllah would be ordering some more detailing items, particularly the clay bar, white wax, ultimate compound and polish .

Washed/waxed the car today, didn't clean the inner fenders however, no water pressure
Orange peel :fp1: will be clearly visible in a couple of pics

Before:







After:

Great RAK FX Taxi hit the bumper few days back, such great people, the idiot cut into the car in a roundabout from 2nd lane -___-










:fp1: :fp1:












love this shot



Would have liked a little less orange peel but meh Pak Suzuki :/ Might get it sanded to even the surface out or not... :hang:
