Has anyone actually tried Osren Diamond Seal 7 before? How's the result? Is this more like a LSP type product?

I've already bought myself some Micro Restore.
Most effective way and for worst case - soak for a couple of hours then blast them with a pressure washer, rinse then spin dry in washer.
2nd method - also soak for a couple of hours then spray down with my garden hose at 'fan' setting, rinse then spin dry in washer.
If you're talking about my question on how to wash those cloth after using ONR, no hope. I've tried everything but the dirt are too stubborn. One of the few reasons that I avoid using ONR unless I really have to.

thanks for the reply. Would you mind telling me what micro-restore is available in our Malaysia market ? Brand ?

and one more thing. How to clean brake dust effectively ? I've tried OPC 1:7, no hopes. Then 1:3 , agitate 5 minutes, I can see some brake dust dissolve, but they are still there rclxub.gif ! The brown stains ! I've tried to seek answer in autogeek, like TrixX, Tarminator, P21S and blah blah. Unfortunately our Msia car detailing market is very small, I only can find Meg WB, Sonax full effect. Which product that you come across that do best at cleaning brake dust ?

DG105 is a sealant.
DG501 is an AIO - paint cleaner and sealant.

DG105 don't have much cleaning/polishing properties
DG501 can do a little cleaning/very mild defects removal

DG105 protection last a little longer
DG501 protection last quite decent also, but not as long as DG105

If you're looking for a sealant without any defects/contaminant removing capabilities - DG105
If you're looking for removing some contaminants/very mild defects while putting down a decent layer of protection as well - DG501

If you're undecided - GET BOTH cuz they're both great products and good value for money....hahahaha.....

Does that mean DG105 can act as wax? what the diff btw wax and sealant? from wad i read for 105, it is a total performance polish.. does tat mean DG105 is a polish thing? thanks for the clarify..

I took this picture off the internet. I don't really know much about this, but compounding / polishing is normally the way to remove those spots. To my knowledge they happen due to the lack of paint protection, and/or the lack of car paint care, e.g failure to wash the car as often as required, but I stand to be corrected.

You could try using detailing clay to remove the spots, which may work if they're not too severe I believe.

I actually asked the same question before too. Found it again! rclxms.gif

QUOTE(windskill @ Nov 1 2013, 01:25 PM)
1 more question here. Is "sealant" equivalent to synthetic wax? I am confused with this term.

QUOTE(KrisMas @ Nov 1 2013, 02:55 PM)
Yeah...it is quite confusing when the market/manufacturer/consumers dictates what is what when the terms they're using are quite different from the way we understand it. I'll let Mike Phillips explain it la...he's better in explaining stuffs.....

Need to clay first followed by compound with a cutting pad.
