A Touch of MagicGlare

Brought my ride for grooming over the weekend at MagicGlare Car Grooming Center in Seremban 2.

After much info-digging on the web on the Glare range of products & the 24 months warranty on the gloss, I was still a little sceptical on the end results. Nevertheless, never try...never know.

Here's some info & pix on their lengthy hand-job:

1. Spa wash - in which they used the clay bar while washing the car to lift sand and other particles off the paint surface before checking the gloss level.








Plenty of swirls & water marks on the battered paint surface which only managed to register a 73.6% on the gloss meter.



2. Sealed and tucked away potruding rubber linings and emblems before starting off.





3. Cleaning & Preparing the surface (from scratches, watermarks, tar & etc.) using something called the 'blue-compound'.








4. After an elaborate 1.5 hours spent just to prepare the surface, it's now time to fill up the surface with Micron (a product of MagicGlare)




By now, the paint surface was already looking really good; All smooth & shiny without any obvious imperfections. Colour on the surface was deep and results were way above average of what other 'off the shelf' polish & wax products can do.

At this stage, even with the near perfect paint surface, it's just the beginning of the detailing job.



5. The rest of the 3 hours was spent on covering every hairline cracks and tiny (micro) valleys on the paint surface with Glare Professional Polish and Glare Micro-Finish to seal and provide a protective coating to the glassy-smooth hard finish.


The revolutionary Glare Professional Polish & Glare Micro-Finish contains Glassplexin that gives the paint an ultra high gloss finish and protection against UV rays which would not breakdown under harsh weather conditions unlike conventional polishes and wax.


After 5 hours, it's FINALLY DONE!





Gloss level of the paint surface now stands at 93.5% !







TADAAAAA !!!!

Solid high-gloss mirror finish; Check out the sharp & detailed reflection of the evening sunset on the bonnet surface that resembles a piece of mirror!

I always think that it's an advertising gimmick when they put up pix like that, but now I'm totally convinced by looking at the proven results on my CAR! Simply amazing!


Every cent spent was totally worth it when you get this level of gloss & shine on your car.





No wonder these are the only guys in the industry that gives a 24 months written warranty on their polishing job.

A bunch of facebook community pals and I did something unique to mark this event; We "froze" at Freeze for World Earth Day last sunday at Sunway Pyramid.

Hundreds of "Freeze kaki's" making their way to pyramid's new wing where we were to 'freeze' for a good 4 minutes.



Camwhore a few mins before the real thing...*practice..practice*..

American Idols vs the conservatives

The 8 finalist of American Idol belting out " Shout To The Lord" during Idol Gives Back


Conservative christians are venting out their dissatisfaction over the whole idea saying that it's a BIG MISTAKE getting the Idols to sing this song together and an even BIGGER mistake to have replaced Jesus with Shepherd in the words of Shout to the Lord.


A catholic even retaliated by commenting that "Even if each and every one of them is born again and dying to sing the praises of the Lord, you don't alienate the viewers like me – and most Americans are not evangelicals – who don't identify with that particular strand of Christianity,"

To my opinion, this is so uncalled for. What's the big deal anyway? It's such a wonderful thing that the Idols performed this song during the charity night where through this song it somehow indirectly potrays the love of God for the people who's suffering in the world and by the way, music is universal.


Conservatives Christians with little or no intention to engage the world today should just keep their opinions and ideas to themselves and of course it would be best if they have a better idea of touching the lives of people in the world and the suffering to which I doubt that they have.


Now enjoy the clip from the Idols performing Shout To The Lord.

This is where I wish I am at now. Just taking some time off to enjoy the serene surroundings by the lake for a moment.
