This one can use too?

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.

For hand polish, what would you recommend?

I realize, the cleaner your car is, the more noticeable the dust sticking to your car.

I've just opti-seal-ed and wax my car. Feel so clean and shinny now, of course minus the swirl.

I always use Optimum, you mistaken me as someone else ah?

Just that I start to understand more into car detailing, and realize there are more or better alternative out there.

Well cleaning car is fun and satisfactory, as long as the wife do not grumble.

Yup, I didn't get a very nice water beading effect. But water beading not really good lar, might have water spot issue too.

It was my method of cleaning that was the problem, also was rushing that time... Wifey grumble already.

Now practice more and more, and also consult other experience otai-otai, then getting hang of it already.

Actually you don't really need water beading, if you are doing regular cleaning. Just that if you have it on the mirror, then it will protect your wiper too.

I like krismas method on cleaning the windscreen, that really works.
I don't do that. I only wash->clay->IPA???->Turtle Rain protect, I mean on the windscreen only.

krismas open clinic I also want to join...

BTW, after I washed and 1 round of claying... I can see from reflection big patches of "dried glue" look a like layer on the front hood.
What is that? And why can't my clay remove it?
I have to use OPC and rub it harder with my MF.

Last last I used Hyper Compound with BigFoot to get ride of the "stain".

Yup, it looks like tree sap thingy... But whole panel wor ...

@mav3rick Please be the orgy-nizer.

Using mobile, can't really see it. But this is a 5 years old light blue car...

Also ya, I noticed OHC and OHP is very hard to use. Since it is liquid, it will splatter everywhere if the pad is not on the panel. And the OHP is not that effective compare to Meg.

3 or 4 people is enough, krismas will have problem shouting loud to everyone.

BigFoot is a DA from http://www.rupes.com/. It is indeed a very nice tool to use.

Hard to explain in words, as my detailing terms are not that good.

Mine is more like the tree sap things, but patches and patches. But I do managed to remove it using OHC, and my pad from Rupes is torn like what you have shown previously. Think it is due to dampness.

krismas or mav3rick

Suggest to come up with a date and time that both of you can make it, please?

My friend's white CT200h coated by them.

My friend is happy. I didn't try, because I wash my own cars.

Buying equipment from oversea, the warranty is always a concern.

I would spend extra to have local warranty, unless you are very resourceful.

Sorry, no idea on Osren selling price. I think there are some Osren ppl in LYN too... Just dunno their nick.

Anyway for me, I will go for used item(Provided good condition) or save more for brand new.

Anyway, have you decided on the meet-up date and time?

Always wanted to know what so special about the coating liquid....

Just now took a sniff on Dodo Juice - Infinity Paint Sealant, almost pengsan...

Morning ler, evening very hot.
