speaking of machine;

I bought a G110 here on LYN. with a transformer.
used 3 times with the 115V plug on the transformer then only noticed I probably should plug in at 110V rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

since last time overheat and burnt my pad (the white thing that stick with the backing plate melted and torn)
I feel something odd with my DA.

the sound like a bit awkward, and I feel like its not rotating properly
*dont know if Im reacting over the incident of the DA really have problems sad.gif

can Sifus help me out?

here's the sample of the noise

Noise at Speed 5 (115V output)

Noise at Speed 5 (110V output)

thanks !!

After reading about the stuffs that he tried, it doesn't sound like any 'normal' poop. Anyway, the colour do look like rust....a 'heavy metal' birdie...???!!!

@sakurazz, how does the surface on that particular area feels like? Or, better still, you know anybody who has those 30X handheld microscope or something similar....?

heck, look what birdie can do to my friend's car. even with tribos coating

rule of thumb in traffic collision no matter how "small" the damage is: it will be significant on the repair/respray bills so please be a responsible motorist.

agree with that, but probably pick up truck means small lorry? looks like a pointy metal sharp edge caused the scratch.

anyway, best if can avoid squeezing through tight spaces and pay attention during heavy traffic to avoid such thing.
save the heartache and potential cursing from both parties tongue.gif

haha bro ! end up how to fix it?

yours is feel-able right? alike candle drip which surface can feel

mine cant bro
*
yea feel-able lol. the paint "popped'out

took it back to service center and my guess is that they touch up the affected area.
cause I see holograms on that area. sayang la its a new car, just 2 months.

ya your case a bit weird, I think normal cases polish/compound can easily remove the stain right.
I normally just wash off bird poo stains with car wash shampoo sweat.gif

Oh? Orange color things? Sometimes my car gets it when I park under the tree in front of my house. Snap a pic to share next time I gets it. Its hard to get rid of the stain. But at least my polish works and managed to clean it.

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.

Hi guys,
Any idea where to get portable spot light?

I really need it to help me see better since I have switched my detailing activities to night time.

I know ACE have it, but the one near my place out of stock for sometimes already....

any ideas?
*
One Utama HOME FIX, they have it. Swirl Finder Light.

But I feel that, yellow light (perhaps halogen bulb?) works best compared to bright white LEDs.

Im using a LED torch at the moment, imho not really good compared to the street light outside my house tongue.gif
but still can see la

sifu sekalian, my 2 years old car is already beginning to show its scratches and what not...

its a deep electric blue (aurora blue - ford)..

i was wondering if i could remove them by hand (since i do not have a machine and nobody i knows has one)

are these steps ok?
1. wash with normal wash (turtle wax F21)
2. claybar
3. ScratchX with foam applicator (or MF better?)
4. Polish with M80 with foam applicator (or MF better?)
5. Wash down with Ultimate Wash and Wax (or normal F21 better?)
6. Seal with M21 2.0 (again, which applicator is best?)
7. Wax needed? if yes i only have GC Liquid Wax
8. Ultimate Quik Wax spray and wipe (this step needed?)

thank you so so much!!!

these better or just send to detailers?
*
scratchX is meant for point correction isnt it? or you are just correcting some parts of the car only and not the entire car itself

so many steps using hand? wow! I hand polish only (wash+polish) last time and after that I cant feel my hands sweat.gif not to mention long working hours (by hand) hehe

I've gone thru the "using a transformer" stage myself, it just wasn't worth it, it wasn't a G110 though, and I eventually converted it to 230v thru some local modding shop.

I'm not sure how much you saved, but a good transformer don't come cheap either.
*
it can be converted into 230V? can I know where/how to do that?

using the transformer is so inconvenient; heavy stuff.
anyway I added wheels to my transformer, it did help a bit, not a lot tho, still have to carry when switching panels

Depends on model, the one I converted wasn't the Meguiar's DA, and will have to get the guys to check it out first. It's Octave Electronics in PJ State near to Amcorp Mall, they are pretty popular in the audio modding scene.

alright thx bro, ill try to locate them =)
