simply polishing can remove SG? lol (heyyyy maybe THAT is why you're discouraged to polish/wax after done SG LOL!)

SG's a glass coating - IMO, no amount of IPA will remove it off. Just perform compounding or polish and it should come off, but there's no way to tell though. Although its glass pretty much any LSP stays on it.

SG on the rims is good stuff, makes cleaning much easier and it beads a fair bit.

The Karcher foam attachment doesn't produce nice thick foam. Can sell you mine if you want laugh.gif


Can get this foam lance for around RM250 from Ebay.

After 1 week didn't wash car, after 2 haze rain, still water spot less and shiny without doing anything http://twitpic.com/czawqu

Closeup on the surface, swirls are minimal, will need more correction lol http://twitpic.com/czaxa6


That said, I just counted 21 chipped spots on my car front bonnet, will be using ezytouchup attempt to repair http://twitpic.com/czay81

Bumped into this thread and noticed that bro KrisMas is here too. thumbup.gif

Got a couple of questions to ask. Where can I get IPA? My understanding is IPA wipedown can remove all the polishing oils and other stuff from the paint which allows the sealant to bind with the paint better?

On clay bar, for soft 99 there is one for light coloured paint and another one for darker coloured paint. Is one more effective than the other? Meguiars has inky. 1 type right? Appreciate any advise. smile.gif

high purity, consider 1:10 dilution
and yes you're correct

not very sure, never used soft99 dark color clay bar. meguiar has 1 type for consumer, additional 2 types for professional range. ( i just bought the megs pro clay mild version quite recently hehe, made in japan stuff lol)

Marketed to the laymen, that's how it works lol. But no denying that it keeps dirt from not sticking onto the rim surface.

Glass coats aren't only used on cars, they can be used on almost everything for protection - medical apparatuses, buildings, even plants. Can be applied or sprayed depending on the application.
