Kia Picanto Rejuvenated


I was thinking what had happened to this car because the paint's condition was terrible and shocking. I told the owner who had recently acquired the car on what can be done to it and the grooming appointment was fixed to sort things out.


On the day of the grooming, I cleaned up the car and saw the awful amount of defects on it. I took out a special wax and applied it on the bonnet/ hood panel and after 15 minutes i began to buff the hazed residue.


After 5 minutes of buffing, the results were not too bad, maybe another round with the special wax will be able to sort it out...


.................................................................................................. haiz.... time for me to get back to reality... if only i really have this special wax, confirm i'll be into Forbes list very soon. It's good to dream once in a while, "Magic in 20 minutes?" but actually i took 7 hours to complete this grooming session on a small car. These are some other defects noted on the car prior to the paint correction.


Safety checks were done to confirm the paint coating health.



Paint readings were relatively low and the roof line panel was especially low at 40+ microns... and after 6 hours of working on the paint work, finally i'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.




At the end of the 7 hours... the car begin to shine and dazzle.





The owner was pleased with the polishing session and i recommend him to maintain the "wetness" of the paint work before it dry out. Simple regular waxing regime will help the car to look good, shiny and you will enjoy a decent workout as well.



This is a very busy month for me as i need to wash and wax my car very frequently in order to maintain it in a pristine state daily, all thanks to the frequent rainfall. Thanks for viewing.

  1. It seems that you did a pretty good job with your detailing. I'm sure a lot of what you share helps those who seek to be good detailers themselves. It surely looks like it's done by a professional. This is wiser than not getting some detailing services for your vehicle as it might cost you more on repairs later.
