Exept for 21st, any Sundays in the months of April is fine with me.....if Sundays not approriate and want to make it on Saturdays then I'd need to make prior arrangements cuz my kids got Taekwondo class in the morning....not a big problem though....

Long time no see bro. Of course la....I was going to borrow the one from Alvin...but if you can make it then no need to do that la.

For waxing only....the B&D or any cheap random orbital buffer would do (preferably with velcro backing plate la).

Oooppss....sorry. I don't think you know Alvin...not from Megs, just one of the kakis but came in later. I see that you're still active....good...good...hehehe...

I'm a little bit particular and sensitive when it comes to 'car washes'. Could you please define 'good' in term of your expectations. Thanks.

I was really being a little bit cynical there...since you did only mention waxing...cuz that's all the B&D is really useful for. But then, you can't really expect it to do much at that specifications and price tag.

And bro GRexer is right, if you think you would be able to maintain the passion (or even would consider getting to a little higher level of doing some mild corrections) and don't mind spending a little more $$$, the Bosch 'AE' model random orbital would be a much better choice. You'd have more options for 'upgrades' in terms of compounds/polishes and buffing pads. A Dual Action (DA) would be another step higher than the Bosch, with more power and capabilities while retaining the 'safety' of a random orbital. 'Aikka' has a China made DA which is little lesser in term of quality as compared to the 'branded' ones, but it's still 'workable' (but not sure about it's reliability though cuz only tried it once and that is at a dealer's place). A 'branded' DA would cost around RM750 ~ RM850 (excluding the local G220v2 which is in four figures range). I think you've already strike the rotary out of your mind so I don't think I'd need to say anything about that.

Just one last word, although not as good, a cheap machine would work if you don't really plan to go dead serious or particular about it (unlike some of the crazy people here....). But you do have to remember, just like other trades/machines, quality does come at a price and the better machines are, more than often enough, better in performance and reliability. Choose whichever that suits you and your budget.

oh...and ACE Hardware got both the Bosch and B&D.

Hahaha...very nice. Share with us your 'collections' then....don't be shy now....hehehe....

OMG...you didn't say you have a LORRY!!! If you're really dead serious, that is DEFINITELY a job for a DA man.

Ok la...maybe the Bosch with some choice of good quality pads and polishes would do if you're on a budget. But, if not, I DEFINITELY would recommend you to consider the Rupes Bigfoot....

Oh...AH only have the Bosch and the B&D, no DA there. And, again, GRexer is right, forget about the B&D. Personally, it's not worth in my book if you're serious.

ir5, I know one decent one in Sentul. Too far?

Sorry. Haven't been around that side of town much.....

hrrmm...never heard of it before....sure it's not CARS international...?

Spot on.

I have to echo GRexer again....the difference is just the motor, but it's a difference that really makes a difference (duh ...what...???)

Bro, you forgot to factor in the shipping (unless you're talking about 'kirim' to somebody than it's ok la....)

Oh...ya lor. Forgot about that. Then may I suggest something. Buy online and find a local address over there where you can ship it to and pick it up when you're there. Then you'd be exempted from VAT and only need to pay £96.....even cheaper eh....

UK got VAT but only for local residents there...non-residents/foreigners are exempted. You can either straight away get the exemption from VAT when buying goods at the shop by filling some forms at the cashier and let the shopkeeper handle everything or, you can also claim back the VAT charges at the customs at the airport, but that means you would need to show them the original receipts AND products bought there. If I'm not mistaken, they also have a limit of the amount that can be issued at the airport. But this was around 5 years back la...don't know if they change already.....

Oh...and when I bought online from there (also a couple of times), I wasn't charged VAT, but that saving would normally go to shipping charges.....

Don't have to claim...their price would be already without the VAT when they charge you. If you notice my post, it's the same one that I got from the link you posted. When I choose Malaysia in the shipping estimate, they deducted the VAT and became £96. The price will hold as long as the billing address (origin) or, in this case, credit card issuer is foreign. They might charge shipping when you want to sent to local address, but that would be minimal (and sometime free depending on the amount you purchased).

For shipping to a hotel, it might be a good idea to email/ask them first. For some reason, some retailer don't sent to hotels (or some hotel won't accept them).

LOL...you know you're not suppose to, but you had to don't you...???

Most coating would have that 'smell'...some stronger than others....some less. In general, it shows how much of the content is solvent and how much is the actual 'coating'. The 22 smells the least solventy....

PW those carpets mats FTW!!! Muahahaha.......

This 'side'?? You mean 'site'....yeah I got a few stuffs from CYC twice. They're ok. i4detailing got some discounts thought....type DWX when checking out....

pressure washer....

heheh...just saying la. Well...everything is about 'time'. I also seldom do it. But when I do and have the time, the PW had worked well so far. I was surprised to see how much dirt the PW was able to 'pull' out from what look to be like a clean mat.....
