My Favourite Details

Proton Wira Special Edition (Deep Red)

http://wetshinedetailing.blogspot.com/2007/08/proton-wira-special-edition-deep-red.html

This poorly maintained car had a total turnaround without the use of a compound. The wheels were cleaned and looked like new and the paint that was dull before just gleams after the detail.

Jaguar XK8 and 3 days

http://wetshinedetailing.blogspot.com/2007/09/jaguar-xk8-and-3-days.html

This was a wedding car prep for a friend, and I remembered being very excited about it as it was my first time detailing a very expensive car.

Honda Odyssey metallic red

http://wetshinedetailing.blogspot.com/2007/11/honda-odyssey-metallic-red.html

A detail for my uncle's family car. I'm not sure why but the transformation of red coloured cars have a greater impact on me than other colours (besides black). This family wagon that often gets washed at the Shell station has gone through a makeover both inside and outside.

Proton Satria pearl white complete makeover

http://wetshinedetailing.blogspot.com/2008/04/proton-satria-pearl-white-complete.html

I was called to detail this car for a Hexa Infinite Marketing. Their job was to overhaul the car itself and mine was to overhaul the paint. This heavily oxidized white turned out perfect after the dead paint on top has been compounded away. It is a very long post

Perodua Myvi Metallic Black: Full Exterior Detail

I aimed to be as close to perfect as possible with this detail.

Perodua Myvi Metallic Black: Intermediate Detail

What was meant to be a one-step polish turned out to be almost a full paint correction detail.

About Me

Welcome to Wet Shine Detailing!

My name is Kenneth. I'm a full time student and this is a blog where I share my detailing adventures.

2 years ago, the word detailing has no meaning to me. Keeping the car clean was a 15-minute affair and an old tin of Soft99 polish was the do-it-all liquid.

I began to gather more information on maintaining and improving the appearance of my own car. This lead me to using better products and techniques and was satisfied with the way the paint shines after a few hours of hand-rubbing.

Yet, the more I learn, the more dissatisfied I became. I never looked at a car's paint the same way again. Orange peel, Random Deep Scratches, swirls, holograms, buffer marks, pinholes, words that were once meaningless became horror stories. I soon learned that the power of the arm is no match for a machine.

With the help and guidance of detailing gurus from both the online and physical world, I improved my technique and knowledge further. I'm thankful to those who have helped me through this journey and I still have plenty to learn.

Join me on this blog as I try to satisfy my detailing addiction.

You will find write-ups on the various cars that I have had the pleasure to detail, some how-to and guides, some product reviews and any detailing events happening in Malaysia.

Feel free to browse around my blog, you can search contents available here with either the Post Digger, Label Cloud or Google Custom Search. There is also a List of Links at the bottom of the page to detailing blogs, forums and E-stores.

I hope you will enjoy reading it as I did writing them.
