Letter to Auto Detailers

To Any detailers who curious with Asean detailers.

Dear Auto detailers,

Time after time we noticed that there are much misunderstanding of Western branding detailing culture towards Asean detailing community.

We understand that Malaysian detailing fields are much influenced by western based detailing information due to the advantages of English language.

Hence we are here to help all auto detailers to be more understand of Asean detailer skill and product instead of covered up by misleading information.

We fully agreed with Japanese detailers detailing skillset as well as Korean and China Chinese detailing knowledge as well.

We would like to start up our topics here with our formed-up detailing concept that different with internet based detailing info you can obtained.

Our Detailing Concept | Turtlepro Detailing
Concept:

We utilize the concept of “不管黑貓白貓，捉到老鼠就是好貓”。It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.

What we can do:

We are able to detail cars with the most cost effective OEM 3M China simulated claybar which banned by detailers.

We are able to detail cars with Malaysian local budget PG claybar which look down by Premium detailing brand detailers.

We even can perform detailing job well enough without using high cost buffing pad which carried by the "M" giant.

Please visit our Sample Detailing Work which carried out with budget category surface preparation work, and we are able to deliver profession output with whichever tool we picked-up here.

Things all of us, you and me need to be mindful:

Are we going to assume that low cost product do not carry profession job?
Numbers of detailing workshop in local industry did utilized budget product such as budget claybar for wax and coating surface preparation, and they did delivered as great as the high cost product range.

Is this going to prove that detailing skillset override product branding?

We would like to correct the wrong concept by auto detailers:
Our answer to wrong concept by detailers which thought Asean product can’t workout: It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.

What normally thought by auto detailers and they are 100% absolutely wrong:

1.China auto detailing is lame and lack of skill. (wrong!)
Ans: China auto detailing is professional enough and even some of the detailing shop offers free detailing class!

2.China detailing stuff are all fake and useless.(partly correct and most of it are wrong!)
Ans: China auto detailing stuff not all are fake but they mostly make in OEM and supply whole world. Include those big brand which highly salute by detailers locally.

3.China detailing product delivered no result.(absolutely wrong)
Ans: China detailing product can deliver result if we know how to apply the product.

4.China detailing product made fake name.(partly correct and can be denied)
Ans: China detailing product actually do not need to print with other brand on their product. But probably most of the reason is because China manufacturers have no confident to bring up their own local name.

Most of the China production are the manufacturer and their product in fact can deliver great result without relying on other brand name.

5.China detailing industry is not great as other countries.(200%wrong enough!)
Ans: China auto detailing industry is bigger than what we can imagine. Be mindful. We are surprised when we read China detailing outcome detailed car. All of them can provide wonderful finishing without any rely of western brand detailing stuff.

6.China detailing product is copy-cat and copy cat is low quality.(partly correct and can be denied)
Ans: Low quality cost lower, high quality price higher. There are several categories of consumer in detailing market. Some can afford some might not. We understand not many consumer can afford high cost usd detailing stuff. Furthermore we do not agree chemical reverse engineering is copy cat work. At least we can 100% confirmed that Japan,Korea are the countries innovated auto-coating and improved by German, never is the Mer/3M developed this. 

7. Can't find China detailing product in good quality.(wrong)
Ans: We don't know why this is so difficult by some consumer probably the margin is not high for detailing shop which caused detailing ship do not want to carry any of this product. But we did noticed numbers of China detailing products bring great result better than other giant name product.

Let say one day there is car body shop detailer bring over the big brand car chemical for reverse engineering and they found out the myth of big brand theory is actually most similar to the one been scrutinized in the market. Do you surprise with this? That's the truth in this auto detailing industry.

Let's refer to the solid facts and logics here:

1.            If you are skillfull detailer, budget product is enough for you to perform your detailing work.

2.            If you are lack of skill and have no concept in detailing, getting an overpriced detailing product is definately a waste.

3.            If you can deliver great outcome with good quality detailing product but can't with consumer range product, is the work did great by the good quality product not your skill.

4.            But if you can deliver great outcome with normal consumer range of product then you will have no problem with good quality detailing stuff and probably you got a good skillset enough.

5.            In detailing work, you skill dominant? or product dominant?

6.            Most of the detailing product market price are floated followed with the conversion of currency.

Frankly speaking :
We understand our local detailers community was dominant by English readers and information which heavily impacted by western detailing forum/website info. We are here to assist our local detailers with more great detailing skill, detailing product and info available in Asean countries.

The most impressive we did noticed in China is, China detailers applied the most cost effective detailing product in the world than all other counties. And surprisingly the China detailer delivered the profession result nothing lack over than the other countries detailers did.

The last word for our detailers, need NO look down to your fellow friends from the Asean detailers. They are much more skillfull in detailing. Look down to China/Japanese/Korean detailers will not improve any of detailing skill/knowledge but stay narrow concept. Why not learn from others? Nothing is greatest in detailing brand but user preference.

Solution for Detailer to solve and prevent the swirl mark problem

This article is about to explain HOW to prevent SWIRL MARK completely.

What is swirl mark?

In fact that swirl happen only when we used any strong lamp/bulb to observe and detect the car surface. Or the swirl can be easily detected if to trace it under the nature sunlight. Due to the tiny scratches and light swirl marks was reflected under any light source hence it may turn out like a surrounding appearance which earned the naming of “swirl mark”. By the way it is not actually a rounded mark but just how is the way we view it.

There are times whereby we heard that swirl marks reoccur again and again. And I did being informed by my customer that they were being told by some experience detailers that swirl marks are not able to be resolved.

How truth is this everyone wonder?

We also can see much of the detailers achieved the screen reflection level of find cut in polishing, but none of those detailer re-upload another clip to tell us will the swirl marks come back again? Or put it another way, how many detailer can 100% ensure their skill and method did prevent the re occurrence of swirl mark? Did anyone ever think of this?

Or let’s put in this way, when you search an article on web, how truth is the article tells you about the way to prevent swirl mark?

Is that too big for us to mention here the “How to prevent swirl mark completely?” or think it in another point of view, is this really matter to the car owner? The hair line swirl mark.

But we believe our skillset/technique here in Kalex Car Detailing can prevent this almost completely to a no swirl mark surface depends on how much effort you can put in.

1  Solution 1: The human made wool buffing pad which we deny the use of animal wool for compounding work. We stay reject animal cruelty for compounding work at the same time we prevent swirl mark. More about this product, Click Here.

1  Solution 2:   The Turtle China Platinum Shield Panel Preparation Solution. We believe we offer the most cost effective product for oil remover/surface preparation product in the market. Whereby we offer consumer get a more content with smaller amount cost spent. One of the most important of re occurrence of swirl mark is because of the oil base compound that user is using. The product may range from Merguairs,3M,Soff99 or even Turtlewax compound. This are all what we can easily get through the retail shelf in the market. And how the oil base compound can cause to the swirl is not because of the oil make it reappears again, but hide it from the appearance which can reflected again once the vehicle being washed after. Oil base can deliver a wow effect and glossy look right after polished/compound leave the assumption that swirl mark being removed but actually it wasn’t. 

      Turtle China had made a great effort here to solve this where other brand not able to do so. With the Turtle China Platinum Shield Panel Preparation Solution user can easily wipe off the oil base compound/polishing content to trace any remaining left over hairline swirl.
More about this product, Click Here.

Solution 3:   The TAC System Korea professional Rust zero/Iron X cleaner in the biggest bottle for detailer at the same time offer the most cost effective usage for detailer as well as end user. How Rust zero can help in removing swirl mark is there are times whereby iron dirt being hit into car clear coat and engraved the iron dirt inside the coat which are very difficult to be removed by the normal claying method. 

      Regardless you are using the Merguairs premium clay set; user will have no clue to remove much of them. And the iron might be turned out when user started to do the compounding/polishing work in a high speed. 

      

     The tiny iron dirt might not able to be traced easily from our normal eyesight furthermore the dark color car. When the iron dirt not being removed then it will be transformed into user buffing sponge pad and when this apply on to the surface of car everything turn into swirl. That is the reason why people use to say buffing machines may cause round swirl but they have no idea where it comes from the pad?

      Anyway the good news is user can easily detect the remaining Iron dirt by TAC System Korea Rust zero iron remover.More about this product, Click Here.

 

  Solution 4:     The TAC System Korea 3 in 1 pack small bottles total solution for compounding and polishing. Anyone can achieve the ultimate super fine finishing with this 3 in 1 pack which covers from 600 sand grit until the highest grit of 12000 whereby this is even not able to be performed by much western big brand detailing product. 

      We use to mention the sand grit here but this is not being practiced by the western big brand of detailing. We urge the big brand to disclose how far of the sand grit result their product can achieved. 

      Regardless of Turtlewax/Merguairs or 3M, this is because most of the detailer willing to resolve the hairline swirl. 

      At the same time this 3 in 1 pack is water base product which will not hide the swirl like oil base compound. Hence user can directly detect the existence of swirl once the last step of fine cut was being done. More about this product, Click Here.

 Solution 5:   Our buffing technique, coating technique skillset innovated in Turtlepro detailing is another keypoint of preventive measure of the swirl mark. We will not disclose much information here, like our page in FACEBOOK HERE and stay tune for more info!
