i am a victim of such "property damage" almost every week without fail.

it's not the cloth that caused this, it's the bird droppings. next time if you have something like that, first wet a lump of tissue and then just leave it over the droppings. let it gets soft before you wipe off gently, try to prevent any hard pressure on the paint. the bird droppings sometimes have hard particles in them in which if you just wipe them off (applying pressure) will cause scratches like these.

black paints are prone to things like this.

Well, i only saw this after the car was washed (a day later). Initially there were no scratches but i could see the bird dropping layer on the paint after the wash. That is when i tried to polish it and the scratches appeared.

Next time, i will clean it immediately with the wet tissue. smile.gif

i purposely gotten a sprayer loaded with distilled water to mist my rupes/lc/b&S pads tongue.gif
but it seems like it won't simulate RL situation (eg: a spill) well since it's just fine mists... so yea cup it is LOL!

got watch until the arm rest there? the middle part of the seat seems to be very absorbant and the product doesn't really work all that good with it. the sides/head rest/arm rest (center console) are the ones that work best.

seems like picky on surface issue i guess? (as in it requires cross woven fabric or something, like those convertible soft tops)

Cannot check out myself. Have not washed my cars for more than a week.

What are you using as LSP?

Anyway, I think it's a fantastic idea for those intending to strip their waxes off their cars. Just leave their cars in this type of rain. laugh.gif j/k

I have been keeping a close watch on this polisher.

bro acefreakz here has one and I am still waiting him to feedback to me some questions on the polisher such as validity of soft start and cruise control feature.

But from The Detailing World forum, Clean Your Car selling it and they comment it is a good polisher given the price tag.

You got any more infor?

yesterday while passing through sprint highway late morning, the MRT workers were actually throwing / terspill cement + sand + mud liquid onto the road and somehow unlucky i was driving right under when the splash hit my car.

i gave it a good wash the moment i reach home however some was stuck in the loose spaces hence not able to completely remove everything.

would want to know if you guys know anywhere with good car detailer shops in Klang Valley? (preferably Subang / PJ area)

you and me should give more pressure to bro acefreakz for his user infor. tongue.gif


I tell you what I know:

1) Malaysia has distributor of this machine but is in Sabah however if you buy from them shipping is included.
2) Machine use standard 5/16" thread so many backing plate can be used.
3) Only side handle, no D handle.
4) I called the distributor, they claim the machine as stated in their website, has soft start and cruise control. Clean Your Car web also claim the same thing so I think is true just do not know how effective they are. So far the only normal DA (excluding Flex 3401 and Rupes bigfoot) with soft start and cruise control is the Meguiar's G220V2.
5) Made in China.
6) Thailand has one distributor too and selling at least RM100 cheaper than Malaysia distributor. But due to agreement, Thailand distributor cannot ship to Malaysia. So if you travel to Thailand, buy at there is cheaper.

Take photos of damage immediately and complain for a compensation of damage repair.

I guess even Optimum Power Clean cannot clean harden cement.

For so many times I pass through this building, I only see Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini parks there.
The least luxury cars I seen there are Benz, BMW, VW, all top class series, no VW polo.
Base on this information, guess-estimate the price yourself.

But this detailing shop carries good reputation of delicate workmanship. So I guess you are getting what you paid for, but the question is can you get similar workmanship from a cheaper alternative.

Look forward to hear you sharing your experience after detailing there. Take pic please.

The least luxury car I saw there was a Proton Persona.

Full detailing would cost 600++, while 3 layer polish and wax is 300++.
Deliberately tried wash and vacuum there since I heard many rave reviews about Carnauba Autospa. They might be cleaning car with good shampoo and suitable wiping clothes (i.e microfiber) but for wash and vacuum (RM25) I think they are not so detailed. Outside RM10 wash and vacuum would clean better than them. My car still have dust inside, and my diffuser aren't even being wash by them hmm.gif

Other place for RM10 my interior would be dust free and they would wash my diffuser...perhaps need to use their full detailing service for satisfied cleaning I guess.. sweat.gif

I never been to Thailand before. I think I will not purposely go there for a polisher purchase too. Thailand famous for something else. brows.gif

I tried Tao Bao but nothing. The manufacturer in China sell in wholesale quantity to whoever directly buy from them. So I do not think those private seller in Tao Bao can afford to buy some bulk quantity.
But I am not dissatisfy with the price offered here in Malaysia. I just want to know how true and efficient is the soft start and cruise control.
Once I verify that I can pretty much pull the trigger between G220V2 or this much cheaper alternative.
