Waxing The Blaiz : Body Wash Guide

It had been quite some time since Blaiz got a proper wash and so I decided to give it a thorough wax wash followed by liquid and wax polishing.

For this purpose, I decided to test the Waxpol Heavy Duty Car Wash sample pouch that I had bought.

First of all, make sure that your hands are totally free of any kind of jewellery as a single moment of negiligence can result in an agonizing scratch mark !

First of all I cleaned the tires using a netted pad and shampoo. The tyre protectant would be applied at the end.

After the tires were done, Blaiz was completely drenched in water.

Then I took a clean bucket with around 1 litre water and poured all the contents of the Waxpol sample pouch. However, the result after the wash wasn't as desired so a second wash with Formula 1 Wax Wash followed it.

The wax wash provided a very rich layer which would be a useful base for the upcoming waxing.

After the wash, I used the 3M Liquid Polish with a sponge to get rid of any residual dirt and to provide a sleek finish.

Then I applied Formula 1 Carnauba Wax all over Blaiz using a sponge pad in circular motion. Do not apply the wax or polish in vertical or horizontal directions as it may not give the desired finesse.

Once the wax got dried to a haze, I used a micro-fiber cloth to buff it off to get glittering shine !

Once the body part was done, I returned to the tires and used Waxpol Tyre Shine to get a shiny jet black finish.

Once the whole process was over, Blaiz was rolled out of the garage into the sunshine !

Here's the final result:

Blaiz got Bumped : How to Remove Scratch Marks

It is an extremely tough job to keep your car unblemished when they are being used for travel on a daily basis. Add to that Kolkata's rowdy drivers, auto rickshaws, cabs, fearless cycle riders, cycles vans and you get the perfect recipe for any car lover's nightmare !! So on one such fateful day, when Blaiz was being taken out of the office garage, a fully loaded cycle van rammed into it resulting into a huge dent on the right side rear fender with scratches all over it.

The outcome of the accident:

Although there is nothing much that I can do about the dent, I can surely try to get rid of those scratch and paint marks.

So the first thing I needed to do was to rub out the paint marks using a rubbing compound. I used the Turtle Rubbing Compound here. If you don't have such compound, a Scotch Brite or 2000 grit sand paper would also suffice, but make sure you use a polishing compound after the rubbing.

The outcome:

The rubbing helped me get rid of almost all the marks and scratches, but the surface had become rough and devoid of any shine. So to restore the smooth and shiny finesse I used the 3M Liquid Polish followed by waxing with Formula 1 Carnauba Car Wax. To cover those cracks and deep scratches, I simply used a white-ink pen to camouflage the effect.

Here is the final result:

I think the scars have been covered pretty decently. Whereas, the dent would need the hands of a professional to get healed.
