Managed to get a sample of D114, been using it at 1:32, cleans well, but strips my D156 spray wax. So I decided to...

...put in an order of D115, which is at customs now waiting for clearance. Just in time for water rationing LOL. If water becomes a bigger problem here maybe Hypercoat will bring it in one day.

Shipping was almost as expensive as the products though...

P/S: Also ordered a gallon of D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream (AIO) which I won't be able to finish so if anybody wants to share some let me know.

Why order the D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream from overseas when it can be bought locally? Well, unless it's considerably cheaper only would it be worth the effort IMO.

May I know are you straight purchase from USA?
You have mentioned shipping cost is as expensive as product. Did you use the shipment service provided by the seller/shop or you acquire a 3rd party freight forwarder to do it (heard that it is cheaper but disadvantage is need to wait as they collect bulk quantity to ship at once).

Btw, did you get tax and how much?

You are referring to the KIT brand readily available in TESCO GIANT AEON store right?
if that is right, I will think is Turtle Wax. But this is such a arbitrarily statement. Accurate one will be after doing a side by side comparison. I state so from my feeling because from an article I read, top 3 brands of car care product in USA in term of market % : Meguiar's, Turtle Wax, Armor All.
KIT is it local brand?
But local doesn't mean not good, look at OSREN.

But one thing I dislike about KIT is product information too little. So very hard to tell whether their wax is cleaner wax, pure wax, or synthetic wax.

I do think that dilution is too strong. I use 1:50 for cleaning up/stripping polishing oil and 1:100 for normal cleaning ( in spray bottle).

On Autogeek it was 37USD, over here it's >RM300? So including shipping i still saved at least RM70, assuming no tax. The D151 was an impulse thing, since i already decided to get the D115 - which i estimated would be RM600 if Hypercoat brought it in!

Yes, used Autogeek, didn't use a forwarder as this is my first overseas purchase. Items arrived at customs yesterday, haven't cleared yet. Fingers crossed no tax!

Oops sorry i meant 1:128, not sober enough to remember numbers Even at this dilution i find that there is very lil spray wax left, mine is a daily driver, parked under the sun at work. How is 1:100 for you?

Well, can't blame it if it's an impulse purchase then. The list price for D151 locally from Hypercoat is close to RM300 but not exceeding it, still have change enough for Nasi Kandar for 2 persons.

I went to Osren last week and asked about the Foam Gun that connects to a regular garden hose. They don't have it.

Before TT i had my car rinsed, so took the opportunity to record some videos.

Slight demo on Sonax Brilliant shine detailer and Sonax rim coating nanopro:


After 20+ minutes drying done:


And just this morning after fetching my sister to LCCT (she going Taiwan lol)

aih lol.

it's like 200-300. if you're going to deal with car detailing, i find it a bit... "wrong" to not have one.

lol awesome beads xD the sonax rim coating awesome too thanks for the vid bro btw wat brand u using for the PW? how much?

http://twitpic.com/cz027z

there's more sheeting than beading (whatever beading there is, also very un-uniform anyways lol).
if you want beads, megs UQW would perform WAY better

Eh guys...would like to ask..how am i gonna strip off my AIO that i had apply...
I read some article..said use "Dawn" wash or APC..
But wht is the meaning of "Dawn"? Or can i re-apply another product AIO on the previous 1? Thanks

Just do another round of AIO. That's what AIOs are for, to clean up the surface of any contaminant including contaminated waxes/sealants while leaving a freash one behind afterwards.

yah I remember that too. Prove that my memory is correct.

I have exactly the same products in my shelf !! But mine is paste wax.
Been using the Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax for some weeks already, just the wax alone does not really bead or sheet amazingly.
Sonax BSD and rim coating nanopro still on my shelf not open yet, got to wait I finish up my Meguiar's UQW first.
Personally I like sheeting more so I am expecting satisfying result from BSD. Look forward to try it.

I am looking forward to get the same effect on my ride like yours after using BSD

Oh man very sorry to see your rock chips. W XXXX H registration plate some more indicates very new car less than a year.
Why can't rock just stay on the ground.

So what you going to do with these rock chip damages?

In the process of investing into a DA so all other tool got to in my wish list first.

I saw your PW in your video, right on top of your shoes rack.

I think the more expensive one is having higher pressure (bar). But how do I know how many bar is minimum for average use, and how many is essential only for car wash, and how many is optimum for all round usage like blowing off stubborn moss on floor tile?

Because I am very sure if I was to buy a PW, then my mom going to ask me can she use to wash toilet, then my dad going to ask me can he use to blow floor tile, wall moss, etc.

For me, I am definitely just going to use it to wash car, foam cannon, blow carpet, blow wheel, blow engine compartment only.

Bro still waiting you detail your car

Dawn is a liquid disc washing detergent.

Electric ones are max about 140 barg. Pressure is one thing. Flow rate is another. The higher the flow rate and pressure, the more expensive it becomes. Higher pressure type is usually for professional / industrial usage and are usually gas powered. But nowadays you can even buy the electric powered professional / industrial usage like the Karcher HD series.

The other part of the PW equation is the different lances. There are normal ones like the Vario Power lance is for washing normal stuff and the more powerful type for washing stubborn dirt on walls, roof tiles and floors is with the Dirtblaster lance. That one can rip your skin from your flesh.

That's what I do lah. Wash car porch, windows, unclogging drains etc. But not toilet lah. How to wash toilet if upstairs? But if you're going to be doing those stuff, you need a slightly higher rated PW. The less than RM 500 Karcher PW series are for light duty stuff.

Engine compartment preferably use normal water garden water hose pressure. Dangerous to use PW as it can make water go into places you do not want it to go.
