Not just 'makita-like', the outside look it's *almost* identical....

But, believe me, the performance is NOWHERE close to one. But well, for something that cost less than RM200, it figures......

Krismas, the Ken looks eerily similar to the Makita sweat.gif The head is narrower than the Makita thou haha. Under RM200? Wow that's cheap!

Not narrower...it's actually exactly the same size. I took that picture at an angle and not straight from above so the Makita was actually closer to the lens.

Since you're hunting for this, means that you've used this before? Is it good?

for me, I use it for usual washes. It doesnt foam / leave marks when it dries by itself. Also leaves a good sheeting effect. I use 3 caps for each wash and it lasted me 1 year plus, avg 2 wash per month, sometimes less/more.

really hope i can find it somewhere. for now i use Duragloss wash and wax.

so.. the Petronas's is better than Duragloss's? On the Petronas's Wash & Wax's pic as shown by you, it reads "Self Drying". What exactly does that means? meaning no need to rinse with water after wash?

I only saw petronas's spray wax before lols

Some of the UQD bottle are re-used and contains other stuffs. I like them for spray waxes or QDs since it atomises into very fine spray mist. The gallons there are in two rows. The front row actually contain the pre-diluted and the row behind are in their original concentrated form. Osren sprayer with CR (chemical resistant) sprayer i think cost RM12 or RM15 (can't remember exactly). The foamer sprayer cost a few more RM.

agree on this. i dont think i've ever thrown away any of the detailing product bottles. i just tear off its initial labeling and reuse them for something else, namely the sonax wheel cleaners since i have to deal with brake dust a lot due to my well... driving habits unsure.gif

while washing my car today, got a few questions wanna ask you all. Took a photo of the water beading when first rinsing the car (not yet wash). is it considered good water beading?? this was after 4 weeks of apply ULW. in between weekly got car wash with UWW, and got once apply UQW after wash 2 weeks ago. the other photo is after washing today, after rinsing, before drying.

After Wash, before dryingAttached Image

Also, wanna show this paint defect on my car. this is the one i suspect i accidentally dropped a drop of rain repellent on the paint and unattended. Phobia ever since. Last week finally break the phobia and bought PG DuraZ & PG Washer Fluid combo pack. the combo pack is cheaper than a single bottle of RainX. I know RainX is the defactor brand to go, but just wanna give PG a try. First clayed the wind screen (and rear, side windows), then polish with a cheapo waxco Glass Polish compound (not sure if it's any good/effect lols, but i think at least it can clean). Then apply DuraZ. At the back label of DuraZ, it reads 'apply every 6000km or 8 weeks for optimum results'. 8 weeks, wow rclxub.gif rclxub.gif Today the water still beading pretty good, no sign of wear-off yet.

also, had took some time to take pictures of other easily spotted paint defects on my car.. so far i've keep ignoring them first, haha.
