Anyone know where can i get a Rupes (Bigfoot) in malaysia? and a grit guard ?

Can't search autocolortek in google. Anyone have a link to their web? or their contact details ?

Going to purchase a Rupes Bigfoot. Any sifu can recommend should I get the 21" or 15"? If get 21" can change the backing plate to 15"?

Anymore gatherings that sifus sekalian can show a newbie detailer on the tips and tricks on paint correction?

Thanks for the advice sifu KrisMas ! i think ill go with the LHR15 too because the other is quite big so hard to reach smaller or curvier places.

How far away roughly is the Do it Together?

My plan is to do paint correction myself, apply Opticoat 2.0, and finally with Swissvax.
So really need to learn step by step and do it carefully. Youtube & google can only teach you that much, practical and hands on is more important i feel.

Cool ! count me in and i will bring my new toy

Nope. The local distributor does not take in the bigfoot 15 and they have no intention too either. They only have 21 for sale I had no choice

And no, the white pad have to buy seperately. As you mentioned it does only come with green and yellow pads and 2 compounds one fine one medium and a microfiber cloth.

Question Sifus :
So what pads i need to buy other than the default Fine, Medium, Coarse Foam pads.

Is Cutting pad and polishing pad different? what materials are there?
Microfiber pad for glass polishing?

And what kind of compound or polishing liquid, finish liquid that i need? please include brand too thanks.

Tried the rupes bigfoot yesterday on my old car's bonnet. Been very long since its cleaned.

Steps:
Washed> rinsed> clayed> washed> course compound with rupes 2passes > fine compound with rupes 2 passes > waxed.

There is this layer of craters or mini holes that I cannot even it out. Any sifu can advice on this what method to apply and what product to use? (Please refer to picture)

@KrisMas : No it is not a repaint job, just that the bonnet got damage through wear and tear due to year and years of negligence. Might be oxidation + other chemicals that caused this kind of surface result, because other parts of the car body does not have such surface.

*ps (it is my GF's car that never got properly maintained like throughout 10 years, thought of detailing it to be my first test subject haha)


@acefreakz : no it is the legendary "IGNORED paint job"

@g88 : Sorry but what does "putty" means? im new to this.
