^Thats what I'm talking about!
Great job that you pulled over immediately and cleaned it up!
(btw I always carry UQD with me in the car in case of 'bird bomb' emergencies! lol)
Nice uniform gloss on the panels! looks great!
@
mkh - Wow! Wheels look really nice!(nice uniform gloss on the tyres, alloys, drum brake housing etc.

)
(btw I liked the location of the wheel balancing weights on the alloys!)
and the gloss has evidently increased as shown by 6th and the 7th pic!

Also decided to put on an additional coat of Collinite 845 over the whole body & the pics tell the results ! Decided to do some jugaad & got myself the foll brushes -Am attaching the pics of how i used them ! - Wheel well brush (Toilet brush from Scotch brite) - Tyre brush (Floor brush from Scotch brite) - Carpet brush - Interior brush The brushes for detailing the wheels turned out to be pretty useful & got the job done ! Used a concentrated solution of Sonax shampoo, sprayed on & kept brushing. Washed & dryed & applied Sonax protectant. As a final touch, topped the tyres off with Megs Gold Class Endurance gel ! |
Niiiiccceee!!!
Damn! I never though I'd ever get to see a super slick looking red paint on a Swift!(Indian show cars look like nothing compared to that!)
I've seen loads of 'red' swifts here but their color is slightly towards the pink side!!(actually, Red + oxidation due to bad maintainance etc. = a light shade of pink! lol )
I love the adaptability!! Tyre and wheel well brushes are slightly modified versions of these brushes(the ones you bought) and cost nearly double or triple the amount!
The wheel well looks really nice!
(Since you don't have a anti-rust coating there and paint is visible, you might wanna wax the paint there to keep it water repelling! and anti-rust!)
Totally awesome job guys!

btw I tried P21S concurs carnauba wax on the bonnet of my
i20 today morning(straight line technique)
It smells like warm butter!mmm...
Anyways, it gave an awesome deep gloss and jetting effect when I took the wax off and after the final wipe.
It definitely looked better than collinite. (but its a beauty wax, whereas collinite is a protection wax)
Also, wiping it on and off was super easy.
Couldn't take any pics as just after the final wipe it started drizzling and I had to cover up quick!
