Blue - Nice Hue But No Easy Task To Maintain

This is a nice car and the blue colour is simply brilliant and beautiful.

I love this colour, sporty, saucy and attention seeking. Do you know how to maintain a dark colour ride, it's much more challenging than the "endurance colour" like grey, silver and champagne gold.

These pictures were took following the aftermath of 5 hours of correction work on the paint work and another 2 hours were spent to detail the corrected ride. Total of 7 hours spent on this Suzuki.

These were the pictures took hours ago prior to paint correction work on the ride. Paint readings were at normal correctable range and the conditions of the paint work were quite bad... loaded with deep marring, etched marking and alot of other road contamination.

This type of conditions will happen again if the car maintenance/ grooming regime is disrupted or stop, as always "Nothing lasts forever, maintenance is a must.." A simple analogy - our home is clean and maintain at weekly/ bi-weekly/ monthly intervals for various different tasks, what will happen if we stop or disrupt this regime?

Our car which is outside and running errands daily, is expose to so much environmental elements. It will need more care than our home. IMHO, twice or once grooming session per year will not get the job done here. Doing this task alone is tiring, if you need help, speak to your nearest butler who takes care of your ride for ease of car care, cheers. Thank you for viewing.

Swirl No More For Good???

I am not sure about whether this will materialize eventually, but currently my pal in Malaysia is doing a test on various new protection coating on paint work. If this really works, that may mark the end of using conventional wax or sealant during car grooming/ detailing task and the beginning of the new infinite protection coating.

The weather conditions have proven to be very challenging in our tropical region, maintaining a car in pristine condition is tough, we have been taking preventive measures to prevent this water etching issue, acidic etching problem, swirl/ marring stuff but it just not good enough. Look at this black car, it had taken it's toll, look at the conditions which were caused by nature and a handful was inflicted by man.

I've been seeing this type of paint work almost everyday, at times it freaks me out. In the short 4-5 hour grooming session, It's a mad rush to complete many tasks before going onto the next one. In such situation, i had to spend most of my time correcting the paint work rather than doing detailing work to enhance the appearance of the car.

Superficial defects were gone after 4 hits, leaving the etched ones.

After multiple hits with various polish, i managed to restore this portion, many more to go... this is really tough work. After about 4 hours correcting around the car, i don't have alot of time left to fool around.

I like black colour ride but it gives the most headaches to alot of people when it's flawed. The corrected Accord is not ideal as there were many other factors affecting it and these were the pictures taken from the 6 hour grooming session, many more tasks could been done if there's more... I'm really exhausted... look forward to the test result on the new paint protection coating, meanwhile do take care of your ride's paint work. Thank you for viewing.
