Hi terry,

1stly, it's important to use the right type of microfiber in the future to buff off wax. Use a "short" pile microfiber instead of a fluffy long pile (Quick detailing/drying) microfiber. If your microfiber has 2 sides, a fluffy side and a smother side, use the smother side, but make sure affected area and microfiber are both absolutely clean i.e. no trap dirt etc..

yah, i would try using a QD first to get it off... cos it's the easiest option, and the wax you're using is expensive!!

if that fails, then (on a clean car), pour distilled water (you can get this at NTUC) on a CLEAN microfiber to wet it, spray some QD to add lubricity, and try buffing it off wet.

if that fails, then yah, the cleaner fluid would remove the wax.

hope that helps... apologies if i was pedantic.

ps. paul dalton stopped using zymol cos swisswax were smart enough to offer him his own signature wax (non-refillable too, unlike zymol destiny)... so he probably gets a cut of the sales... the choice of wax is a personal thing/matter of an individual's preference really and i think both zymol and swisswax are definitely comparable. Most normal people cannot tell the difference between the concourso and concours.

besides terry that is.

all teh steps i took was protecting steps.. if i want to remove swirls and minor scratches i should has polished after clay , before cleansing the paint and wax...

polishing or usually called paint correction is probably the mosy difficult step in car paintwork caring... its actually cutting a few microns of your clearcoat to remove scratches ( no its not scary as u think... our paint is thick! ) using machine like porter cable or flex and using polishing compound like menzerna. after scratches are levelled , then cleanse the paint work using something like HD cleanse from zymol or cleaner fluid from swissvax , then apply the wax.

dont be fooled by guys who gives package and claim that they REMOVE defects...but after 2-3 weeks u need to come back again and again and again using their package... the fact that they only covers the defects using fillers , the way to check this is after they do ur car... spray some 50% dilluted isopropyl alcohol to check if the fillers will be washed off and the swirls comes back... its quite fun to check who is the honest and dishonest detailer ( btw some detailers dont even know that they are merely covering them)

there are many big names detailer who does crap job... only a few does paint correction...

i used to go to spa for cars... no doubt about the job....
i dont know anyone else doing it other than SFC ... maybe juzz brilliant does... but i know one guy in other forum some freelance guy is doing it , he was at the last meetup though..enquired but he say he is fully booked till august...i think he only does it part time...

Re: Look here if u like shiny black car!

cool... hopefully all the excess wax comes off... if successful, take some more pics leh.. wanna see more of your shiny car!

 

[Terry]

Re: Look here if u like shiny black car!

if weather is good today..will take more pics... btw do share how u detail ur car... u seem quite enthu about detailing...which i love! hahaha

Re: Look here if u like shiny black car!

heres some after results... the wax residue has gone away after i washed it with ice cold distilled water...only left some hazing on the bonnet... will buy field glaze on monday...

heres some pics of the after shots... ( the car is very glossy but i dont know how to use the camera , not mine... so i just use auto mode... the pic result sucks)

This pic looks blurry and whitish..dunno why... but just compare the reflection of my bumper and my acrylic number plate... is as shiny..imagine urself

IMHO... the shine is very different from zaino...it doesnt give u the just detailed look.. doesnt look like the car is candy coated and very shiny like zaino..

the carnuba wax finish is very different , it gives you the ' blacker ' and 'warm' look and the reflection is ALOT clearer... almost like 3D.... i feel like i can touch myself from the reflection... and the car feels great and beads water like umbrella

coming from a sealant user... all i can think of is...

zaino shine just like a hot sexy girl , lots of make up and had done boob job... looks good... but artificial...

carnuba wax shine is more like guai guai girl , no make up natural beauty and wife material.... dont shine that much... but makes u feel good
