I think he got mix up between polishing and waxing.

Polishing will remove a thin layer of your paint. Waxing will not make your paint thin. It'll form a layer of protection on the paint. Do read nicely.

When the paint coating gets thinner, is it a good idea to send your car to the paint shop? laugh.gif

Hi, bro, you can give this guy a call. He used to be my neighbour. His name is Suresh and you can reach him at 0122222245. H does quite a good job and if i'm not mistaken uses products from UK. Not sure what brand though.
Cheers!

Arunn.

Hi,

I got a question.

How long do we have to wait before we can apply wax to a brand new car?

Tried searching in Google, some site said can wax straight away, and some site said have to wait 30 - 90 days to let the paint settle down first.

Which one is correct? unsure.gif

Hello guys. I have a Bosch random orbital sander. It was bought a long long time ago and I haven't used it before. I wonder if it is suitable to polish my car. What about the wool pads? Can I use it? I would like to remove some scratches and swirl marks on my car. The thumbnails below are the pictures of the random orbital sander.

Guys. Im thinking of getting a Black & Decker Polisher.
Is it any good? Its a 7" orbital Polisher.

I dont have budget for a Random Orbital polisher. And since this B&D is around 190$. it fits my budget nicely.

Good Day,
Well , is it necessary to purchase your own polisher just to make your car shine. I afraid over polishing will only damage your car coating of wax and paint job. End of the days only you need to fork out Rm $$$ for a new paint job.

I would like to recommed the products i'm using since few years ago. Currently, i'm using Kit Wash and Wax. My car still shine as is brand new although is already 3 years old. Try to learn more for that product before you spend $$$ on something that not necessary works as is promised. Since the product i recommended is only so cheap per bottle. Cost only Rm 20 ++ . thumbup.gif
