Ultimate Detailerz, Official Distributor of Scholl Concepts, India.

India is a country with Incredible places of interest. The people are fascinating too. A former British Colony but no longer having an attitude of being colonised, searching and constantly in the mood of being able to access to World Class products.

I made my trip to India purely to train and educate my fellow friend and partner, Mohsin Khan. Scholl Concepts needed no introduction but rather explanation of the character of the various compounds and the technics of how to maximise them. 

As a Representative and Trainer of Scholl Concepts, I was not looking for a Mega company. I was in search of a Mega heart individual who has the hunger for innovations in Detailing. Here, I found a company.......Ultimate Detailerz who has high integrity and the vision to introduce Scholl Concepts, a Premium Car Care Brand to India.

Incredible India ?












I had just returned from Bangalore , India. India is absolutely Incredible !

This is Leela Palace, where I put up for 4 nights. When the Reception counter said they upgrade my room, I agreed without thinking twice. Look at the last 2 photos just before my room. The journey was like having to take a bus to reach my room. But it was a beautiful place like the garden of Eden.




India is a humble country with Incredible growth in many aspects. This is my humble Distributor outlet. For the hunger of Scholl Concepts' - Detailing Technics and Quality Products, Mohsin Khan, the Owner of Ultimate Detailerz, Bangalore, India, built this place just for Scholl Concepts.

Like the saying goes,......there is always the first step. More incredible pictures to come............

Spider Pad, a Twinning Miracle.........


 
                                        

Twins just don't happen only in the natural. The Spider Pad was produced to have both the effects of Lambwool and Polishing pads. As said that Lambwool is airy and cooling , the Spider pad has the linear lines across the pads obtaining the same effect ! Aggressive yet she is Cool........!

We displayed this video to show the preparation before using a Spider Pad. Firstly,  unfold the pad. Since its a new pad, it's essential to have a little more compounds spread onto the pad using a spatula. Using a spatula would even out the compounds on the surface of the pad. Take note ! It's very important to spread the side of the pad because that's where the friction is going to be aggressive when operated onto the surface of the car. After the first time spreading the compounds, there is no need to repeat that amount. 

The Neighbour asked how was it that Scholl had this idea ....Spider Pad designed. Well, for sure Peter Parker did not turn up in Remseck one day cause he lost his job as the lead actor for Spider Man .!............but rather the concoction of Spider Pad was made by the second generation Executive Officer of today's Scholl Concepts. !

apologies for the video quality, as I was only allowed to upload Quick time  :(

Lambwool, the preequisite to Foam pads?


Technically speaking, a Lambwool is used not only for it's temperature advantage. It is also because the compounds applied do not "splatter" unnecessarily all over like you first learn how to eat ice cream. Maybe some of you still does ....:)

The quality of a Lambwool depends on the density of the wool. Even then there is major difference between natural and synthetic. Just to make it clear that "Synthetic" does not mean it comes from "Clone Lambs" but rather polyurethane. Again, this article is not about manufacturing as this is entirely a different thing altogether but I am writing from a point of application.

Does Natural wool has better cutting ability ? Yes ! Aggressiveness ? Obviously , more aggressive.

Using a Lambwool would cover larger areas, it's cooler and distribute material evenly resulting in maximum usage. The compounds would not escape easily but very much embeded into the wool.    

As I was to conclude this article someone just apps me," Have u seen a lambwool in black ?" I want to throw this question to the floor ! Huh ! As the song goes ....Ba Ba Black sheep, have u any wool ....?...u wanna Rap it ?...coming next !



Polishing Pads - Why we do what we do !



Yes ! It's the Spider Sandwich Pad. 

Many people have been asking why does Scholl make such a weird stuff ? Weird or not we had so many people trying to fake it.

I wan to bring on a series of articles on Polishing Pads. Any support out there ?

S0 - Action - Part 1 - Application and Result

S0 would create a surface looking Matt and almost dust free. User friendly. Excercising gentleness when polishing yields excellent result.

However, one must observe with much care during preparation. The tools you need would be S0, a Velcro Felt pad and a spatula. Spread the S0 onto the Velcro felt pad evenly. Ensure the S0 is well spread to obtain evenness when polishing. The Felt pad is a compressed Lambwool uniquely designed and for this use which is effective and safe.

Well ! After the above, it's time for Action !

Pardon me ? You want video ? No worries , Coming Up NEXT !

S0 - The Perfect Matting Compound !

We have cars rolling in daily with all sorts of issues. Some just waltz in and waltz out with very little work because it has been maintained by Scholl products. Many thanks to the Waxes...The Rock & Vintage, which through time protect the paint surface extremely well, so lesser work required.

But we love challenges too. Situation like this makes us bold and putting on the thinking cap and start analyzing which steps and compounds to start with.

Following we display to you several pictures taken with amateur skill, a car that came in which had ZERO Detailing work done since 2008 ! The car is clothed with imperfections of the highest.!

Splendid ! Just what we were looking for to introduce S0......our very own Sand paper in cream form - The Perfect Matting Compound. Thanks , Frank, a genius product !

So, here it is......Scene 1. Watch out for Scene 2. S0...in action !

Well, it's 2 weeks after I returned from Remseck, The HQ of Scholl Concepts GmbH. It was a very intensive trip as I was presented several new products for testing with the Team and a lot of analysis required. 

A year or two ago, I wrote about a company that truly exist for 50 years. Then I posted one of the Retro bottles. Over the last two years, many Detailing companies and indidviduals had switched over. We thank you for your continuous support.

Look at these Retro samples. Aren't they Classic.?

Scholl Concepts is a Visionary company. We develop compounds for the latest Clear Coat being used in the today's Car Plants. Recently, we invested in new machines to produce Hi-Tech pads. You can Keep Looking. Keep Searching. Look no further...........but at Us, we will unleash these news that would stun you !

Taiwan, Detailing an upcoming Industry

I was in Taiwan a week ago for training purposes. In fact I was there 8 years ago. Back then the market for Detailing almost did not exist. Now, 8 years later they mushrooming everywhere by very young and dynamic Taiwanese young generations.

Taiwanese Detailers are extremely nice and gentle people and in fact I find them refine and shy. During the training, many of them were very inquisitive and many learned by trial and error before. Well, Scholl Concepts established a format whereby they could use it and take it further from where they are now, For A Better Finish.

Once again, thank you Michael Yang, (Autoholic, Taiwan) for hosting and guiding me about Taiwan market. I must say it was a wonderful experience spending every moment with these promising young Detailers.

Coating & Protection - Part 3



Besides the Freelander which we exhibited a couple of days ago, we actually did a test as well on this classic Merc.

Well after 10 days, with NEO High Grade Polymer (WaterBased) from Scholl Concepts, it is still beading. The surface of the car was NOT compounded at all. Just washed with our Scholl Concepts, Shampol. NEO was applied directly without hesitation.

It's not a coating. It's not silica at all. It's purely High Grade Polymer. 

Can anyone explain to me what's all these hype about glass coating, nano coating, ceramic coating and what have you?

Coating & Protection Part 2

Look at this Freelander. With it's condition, not many Detailers would not like to put their hands on. Paint surface is horrendous. Exterior Weather strips, weathered till light grey.

We decide for a 1st test, we would not deal with the paint condition at all. So we applied NEO directly after a good wash. Let's see what happens after 3 weeks. As a precaution note : This testimony is already a week old. We were so tied up with so many testings and sales that is why this article was delayed.

Here are the pictures before and after.















As mentioned above, as I am writing to you, these pictures had taken place a week ago. I am sure the pictures speaks volume of NEO. Just give us another week. We will give you the full detail as to how did NEO perform.

Coating & Protection - Part 1




Last week Frank Scholl sent 2 NEO High End Polymer and some pads that goes with it to our Asia office, Malaysia.

The Detailing business here and all over Asia and the rest of the world, in my opinion is now plaque with this glass coating and nano coating or whatever coating there is which has been overrated.

NEO Polymer protection was produced "NOT" to counter these "coating" stuff or even to put a challenge. The purpose NEO was created was to really to proof that "Sillicone" or "Silica" based products just won't do the job better than it claimed to be.

If you have a "Look East" policy you better Re-Look at what is being applied and Re-Evaluate to stop living in denial state in Detailing aspect.

The lacquer or what some other people called it, Clear Coat, is a very soft component. This element is the one responsible to give one a magnified pigment of the paint so that it looks glossy and giving one an optical pleasure.

NEO is here to magnify it more and and at the same time enhancing it with much better protection in view of it's adhesion ability.

We begin by trying it out on a Freelander which is about 7 years old, amateurish detailed, and with weather strips that were extremely tired and warned out. Greyish and paint surface level in the "Not satisfactory" level.

Nano Coatings?

Nano has been a word so often used without much hesitation. This abused has been around and has been read or claimed almost everywhere in any media form like graffiti in public places. Really it did not occur in my mind that there is such thing as a Nano Society in the EU. I am pasting a link here ; http://www.nanovalid.eu and this is juts one of the body that verify what "Nano" is all about.

Somehow, many products borrowed the word Nano "without permission" has to reconsider if the product could qualify it's claim. The general understanding and perception of Nano is......breaking into smaller particles and even smaller. Not a scientific sentence but a laymen term, however, such understanding and perception is not factual but blind leading the blind.

Why not check this out as well?

Scholl Concepts Asia - The Real Stuff


We did not manufacture or design any cars. Scholl Concepts is a compound and pads manufacturer. Posting one's car or design may perhaps get ourselves a lovely note of claim and strings of lawsuit.

Why we have "Superhero" kind of webpage? Well, don't we all love to watch these 
Marvel movies?

Admiration of Superheros has somehow to do with an existential reality we all share. 
It's a Hope. A Hope that guarantee us that we are safe.

Scholl Concepts endeavour to fulfill us that deepest assurance between Real stuff and half bake stuff.

It's not a finish work yet. The final touch up has yet to come. Next Change !
