Sabah Automotive Detailer: Perodua Myvi - Milky White Special Edition

A good friend of mine entrusted his new car to be detailed (4000KM). He love this car to bits..

(ps: the car mod craze here is to modify this model to the Toyota Passo or Daihatsu Sirion/Boon - costly mods though )

He wanted especially the paint to be as glossy as it can be so here goes...

Day 2: 9AM

Paint Correction

Combo - D151 on Yellow Pad via Rotary Buffer (plastic bumpers via DA)

(I measured the film build and certain parts especially the front hood and rear hatch were around 65(lowest) - 84(highest) microns.
Quite low for a new vehicle though...plus judging by the owners choice of car wash - a simple cleanup was chosen. RIDS were left to be)

For the extra protection
Painted surfaces were sealed with M21 2.0 (2 coats via DA)

Exterior Chrome bits - Megs Alu & Mag Cleaner
