Arsonist Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 you've really been following that video of that dude who washes supercars in England with your favorite wax huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted October 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I'm not sure if I posted that video, but hell yes. although I would have him detail the millenia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsonist Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Well, except for the pure carnauva tree wax and the citrus degreaser thing (both expensive as fuck), the rest is not too hard to do. I'm really looking forwards to do it next time I wash my millenia. If the weather allows me to, I shall wash it with a really good soap I have there and cold water, buy new microfiber towels to dry it, use the degreaser on the wheels and brake calipers, check out every scratch and buff it out with some rubbing compound and some of that other clay and then wax.

///BHRpowered Posted October 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 actually I do use the degreaser, and I do use the wax prep, well tis not really a wax prep, it removes all old wax and anything eles so the wax can bond to pure, fresh paint. Both are products from Zymol. Also, I perfer warm water. I do have a dedicated special wash mit I only wash the millenia in, as well as its own set of microfiber towels. My jeep and M3 don't get nearly the detail, although it does get treated MUCH better then pretty much everything eles on the road. I do use microfiber to dry on the M, but each car has its own sets of washing and drying, including different products, the millenia and M I use a more ph balanced, softer formula, whereas with the jeep I use something slightly tougher since as a daily driver there is much more brake dust.

Arsonist Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I heard it depends a lot on the color. You want to use something that has a strong power of hydrogen on white cars (same way as you wash clothes, dee dee deeeeee!) and that could very well replace the wax prep. I never use warm water, ever. With the humidity levels here, even around sunset, warm water will leave stupid ass water marks as it dries. While when it's cold, I can buy sometime.

///BHRpowered Posted October 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 any water will leave water marks, its the minerals in the water, but the temp, but direct sunshine makes them appear faster. Thats why you wash in the shade and always dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 what gray paint are you talking about? the rear is from an 02, and the front never had any gray, the plastic thats not chromed is a deep black and has been since the day I bought the car, but I do use some uv protectant. I get a Q tip, but it into my drill bit, and have a tiny little buffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsonist Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 The front grille is actually all chromed, but the middle bars are coated with some sort of gray paint. Take your grille out and look at the back of it, you'll see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 arson, no, there is no gray. On my grill the vertical lines have a chrome tipped whatever, and the horizental cars, and indeed the vertical plastic as well are a black plastic, there is no gray. Perhaps your had just faded over time or isn't washed. Like I said, that a Q tip and a powerdrill with a grip attachments, break q-tip in half, put in drill, no you have a mini high speed buffer, put a few drops of mothers "back to black" plastic polish on your finger, run q tip through it, apply to grill or other hard to reach areas. I'm not kidding when I say how seriously I take my detailing. I even polish the key holes and then painted them black so they match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
