finally i started the project which comprises the followings
1- Body and paintwork
2- Interior
3- Engine bay
4- Wheels
5- Lights and window trims
as of now i finished body and interior which took my 5 fridays :)
let me begin with what has been done on the body;
having searched the internet and the whole uae market, i decided to go with the most suitable products for a beginner. at the end i was not a proffessional (which i am still not), and my budget was not unlimited
yes, i did everything by myself and with the staff available on uae market
BODYWORK:
the sequence of the events was as follows
1- Claybar (ICE Liquid Claybar available at ACE)
This is not the best thing u can use but it really works. After getting only the top part of the car clay bared, i easily felt the smoothness. It was ready for the paint cleaner and polish to be done subsequently.
2- Paint Cleaner (Meguiars 1 of 3 Step, available at ACE)
3- Polish (Meguiars 2 of 3 Step, available at ACE)
To do the 2 and 3, i used an random orbital polisher of Black & Decker brand. It is again not the most fan fu... tastic polisher in the world but i does the job. It did yes. and the best thing, since it is random orbital, it oscilates instead of revolving in a constant pattern. It makes it "idiot-proof" for the swirl marks. And, since i am a beginner, i can be classified as an idiot so no swirl marks :)
it is available at ACE and costs 230 AED only

4- Waxing (Meguiars Gold Class Wax by hand, available at ACE)
5- Glaze (Carplan Wonder Glaze by hand, available at ACE)
and results...
it was not astonishing but when i noticed the part of the hood which i left undone from the beginning....dudes it well worthed!!!
the shine is deep and sexy, i was sooo happy when friend of mine asked me the reason why i got it re-sprayed :):) plus no swirl marks at all!!!
and the pics...
being uploaded just a few seconds ;)
