btw.. i went to the mydetailingkakis site to check on your previous post on sanding and polishing with the ROB. it looks pretty abandoned..
Well...not really many in the group and with no 'opportunists' around spamming their products/services, things can get very quite some times. And the problem with a group of hobbyist is....things only get hot when something new happened....or else the rest are just same-o same-o tongue.gif

guys, i might be going to the UK in a months time. business trip. was thinking whether to get the G220v2 there tongue.gif

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Meguiars-Dual-Acti...63932344&sr=8-1

with the 7" Polishing and Finishing pad its about RM804! more than half the price of what is being sold in MY. granted there might be some issue with warranty but seems like a pretty good deal, no?

...in the mean time, maybe you should try to find somebody who has one to try out. Doesn't necessarily need to be the G220, any DA would do. The reason being, some people just don't like or just can't take it's vibration...like yours trully. Just a suggestion....

oh...and you also better check whether the price included VAT or not.....just in case....

by DA you mean ROB? i've never tried any machinery before. been dying to get some hands on experience. what you say makes a lot of sense.. should really try it out first.. problem is most of my friends who are into detailing are not using any machinery as well.. blush.gif

i've also been trying to find the nxt all metal polish for my wheels and 'chrome' grill. it claims to 'clean, shines and protect'. sound better than my normal routine of applying ULW on to my rims. Would i really be better off with this product? appreciate feedback from those who have used this product. muchos gracias.

Dang....tell you what....you find yourself a few guys....look for a place that have proper shade (under a porch would do)....arrange for one fine SUNDAY morning when everybody can get-together and I'll bring over a scrap panel, a rotary, a DA, a 'normal' ROB (Bosch) and the Bigfoot. You guys can have a go at it all day if you want, just promise not to throw them at each other.

Or maybe you can get in touch with Osren people...very helpful folks especially if you're an enthusiast. They have all sort of machine there and, if you're lucky enough, they might just let you try them out. Get in touch with Erik.

Oh...and I also have the NXT metal polish if you want to try. Never-Dull is also good and you can find it at ACE. They should be better for metal/chrome but I don't think it'll do much to rims....they're clear coated rims right?

that's awfully generous of you bro krismas... i can try to lookup my friends, but most of them are in the 'stop poisoning me' mode.. biggrin.gif no harm asking. in the meantime, it would be good to see if anyone else in the forum is also interested in this.

yup, my rims are factory coated ones (clear coat). actually i'm more towards the protection part rather than the shine tongue.gif each time i wash my rims with the Gold Class All Wheels Cleaner, i find that i do not need to scrub so much if i have a layer of ULW applied previously. the muck comes off easily. the thing is that my wax is also removed in the process and i would need to re-apply tongue.gif hmm.. seems i do not need to spend on this then, which is a good thing.. tongue.gif

Wheel cleaners would kill most waxes/sealants...have to live with that. Spray type waxes/sealants would be better....just for convenience sake as it's easy to apply them after a wash. Coatings...well...I've only tried AQuartz on them before and it only lasted ~ 3 months. But mind you AQuartz doesn't really excel in durability. Been neglecting my wheels afterwards ever since...well....long story. Nowadays I just try to keep them clean....

'exotic'...??? hehehe....a little bit difficult to get hold of..yes...but 'exotic'...I'm not sure about that. Swissvax, Zymol, Polish Angels, etc....those are exotics. What I have are just 'normal' stuffs la. You should see what the others got in their closet....hahahaha.

I found most of them just like other people do....google. That plus a little bit more of passion and persistance (in other word, I guess you can call it 'luck'). If you think you're ready for them, I can hook you up. We are here to share what we know...right?

krismas open clinic I also want to join...

BTW, after I washed and 1 round of claying... I can see from reflection big patches of "dried glue" look a like layer on the front hood.
What is that? And why can't my clay remove it?
I have to use OPC and rub it harder with my MF.

Last last I used Hyper Compound with BigFoot to get ride of the "stain".

Somebody need to lead this then....mav3rick?

Btw...it won't be the 'clinic' thingy la...more like a get-together and knowledge-sharing session. I'm no sifu and hardly a good 'teacher'.... sweat.gif
But I can invite a 'trainer' if you guys are interested...I might just know somebody that could be willing to 'help out'....

not you ah? laugh.gif

no need to be a "clinic" or serious as hell TT/session (i'm not too keen on that either, and for the guy bringing all the tools, you're bound to be that "teacher" which would assumably make it 'un-fun' for you)
simple casual TT/session with the opportunity to get to know on better detailing equipment/options/techniques is fine enough for me thumbup.gif

=edit=
eh realized i missed a t lol

Aiyo...you guys get the people together and decide what you all want to do la. I'll try to accomodate and just prepare what/who to bring over. I'm getting too old for 'organizing' these type of get-together....hahahaha....

Using mobile, can't really see it. But this is a 5 years old light blue car...

Also ya, I noticed OHC and OHP is very hard to use. Since it is liquid, it will splatter everywhere if the pad is not on the panel. And the OHP is not that effective compare to Meg.
