The owner was so impressed with the results on the Golf that he opted for the Mercedes to be done as well. This is a 4 year old w212 that had went through much abuse, road side wash, petrol station polishes and the maximum of Malaysian environmental damages.

Upon arrival, we inspected the car and before we even started with the front of the car, we spot a obviously deep scratch at the back.

Although from the looks of the car, its clean, once we focus on the surface. Watermarks.

When some of our client’s doubt that we are able to travel that far to perform our magic to their cars, we document even the journey for you. This round, we are headed to the East Coast of Malaysia.
2015-04-09 17.06.27
From Kuala Lumpur, its a 7hours drive for a normal car. We took 8, just to be safe.
2015-04-09 17.23.45
We did all the traveling, just for this sweet ride.

Upon arrival, we were briefed by the owner that it is a demo unit, which means there will be alot of dings and dents from the test drives.
2015-04-10 11.10.47
The Volkswagen Tornado Red is a solid colour which comes with a very soft clear. You will be looking at very severe swirl problems in abit.
2015-04-10 11.10.58
Swirls were spotted on the body panels.
2015-04-10 11.11.40
More swirls.

2015-04-10 12.52.58
And after correction. There are still some very light swirls are were just too stubborn to disappear. 2015-04-10 12.52.53
Side by Side comparison.
2015-04-10 12.53.12
Just the definition of the reflection already shows a major improvement.

On the other side of the car, before.
2015-04-10 13.52.54

We have with us the latest Nissan Teana fresh from the dealership barely a week old. The owner brief us that the car was is perfect shape. Little to know that the car had already been sent to a so called professional car care center.

Upon arrival, the first glance was gloss and shine, second was the dirt and dust but as we inspected in detailed…
2015-04-27 11.23.08
We found alot of severe polishing damage that was caused by improper usage of the rotary buffer. Holograms were spotted on most panels.
2015-04-27 11.25.59
Some were so severe that it did not require any form of lighting to see them.
2015-04-27 11.54.34
The lines of the car was all scratched up by the inexperienced car care center.
2015-04-27 11.25.35
They were even more obvious when LED lighting glare onto the surface.
2015-04-27 11.23.30
Extremely visible swirls and holograms are formed from this so called professional center.
2015-04-27 12.08.43

We did some severe correction to remove the swirl and also holograms. As we were in a rush from too much time spent on correction, not much documentation was done for the correction. Here is a shot of the corrected surface.

After 3hours spent on just correction, the final cleaning was done and the coating applied.
