Hi fellow detailers, just thought of sharing some pictures to spice up the overall thread





So, Mr.Krismas, I haven't seen your detailing work for quite some time, any interesting shots coming up soon ?

Question on Rain-X

Can we use it on the read window as well? Some ppl say its ok, some say
i shouldnt.

Well...if you wanna see my car again...the same car...I can post it up....hehehe.....

Errr...what's a 'read' window? If you mean rear window (windscreen) then it just fine. But if you mean rearview (side) mirror...well...I also heard people saying don't. I've used it a couple of times already and so far no detrimental effects noticed (but remember, if it works it doesn't mean that it's right). You might want to stick to dedicated products if you're worried. Glaco has a dedicated product for mirrors...but a couple of guys using it says it doesn't work as good or last as long (though I think they were comparing it with RainX....).

Yes, bought some items from them before. Normally I only go for their promotions item.

I do not use special liquid for MF cleaning, just liquid detergent only. So far my MF cloths are still ok.

Rain x after half a month since previous Chinese new year, still strongly repelling water http://twitpic.com/c83ang

Water not able to stick lol! beading from rain x isn't pretty, but it does get the work done http://twitpic.com/c83b8l

whr can i get the perma glass wonder clay in jb area?

Yes my bad, REAR Window aka rear windshield... sorry ya..im known as the typo king

I haven't faced any issues so far applying Rain-X or any water repelling substance on the rear windshield. No problems applying it on the side mirrors either.

one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb whenever i wash my car now is the blardy stone chips!!! even though you need to really scrutinize to see them, it still irritates the shit out of me.. have a lot of it on my front bumper and bonnet.

grrr... any recommendations other than respraying? my car is only coming to 3 months old. i travel back to ipoh every weekend and the North South Highway seems to be the main culprit here..

I learned to close an eye and live with it (in the mean time, also learning to do touch-ups properly..). Bad touch-up would make the sore 'thumb' larger and more noticeable.....

Preventive actions:

Clear bra....good ones are so d*** expensive.
Next best...plastidip...also expensive....
Next...avoid tail gating or following the car in front too close....

Re-spray options:

DuPont High Solid...add clear bra for 'extra protection', of course...but no $$$$ la.....

i also wanted to try the touch up packs like Ezy. I'm just as afraid to screw it up as well.. arghh.. just turn a blind eye la..

I've gotten a paintshop supplier (automotive) to blend me a small can of matching color paints for both my cars. Tried twice...failed on both occasions... they look worse than before 'touch-ups'....*sad*

hmm.. meg's 2013 stuff is finally here.. i still have one small bottle + 1 16oz bottle of ULW left.. dont think i will be trying this anytime soon

it looks pretty interesting though.

btw.. is anyone using the M21? any feedback on this? does it work with hand application?

What do you want to know about M21? I had both, M21 & M21 2.0...also NXT & NXT 2.0...back when I was still 'crazy' about Megs......

how does the M21 compare against the NXT and ULW? Does it work with hand application as well?

my buddy mentioned that NXT has better shine when compared to ULW but doest last as long.

Not much different from NXT except (maybe) a little bit less cleaner in it. No problem applying by hand. Haven't really used it with a machine (rotary)...only had used it with my bosch ROB. And yeah.....durability (beading) sucks.....

For hand polish, what would you recommend?

M101....

isn't the 101 a compound?? does it work better than the 205 in terms of polishing?


btw, seems like the M21 doesn't look that promising. I think i better stick to my ULW. What sealants are you using, if you dont mind me asking

By hand, M101 can do both....can finish just as nice....

Haven't been using any sealant for quite a while now....MUAHAHAHA.....

oh...but if you're looking for a good sealant...you might wanna try Menz Power Lock.....
