Last week went there they sell 6 Osren bottles for RM60. If buy 1 bottle alone cost RM15

Maybe I salah dengar..  shakehead.gif
Previously use hand with UC - problem

Now use with rotary.. Create swirls but finish with black pad - gooding
Sifu want to buy Rupes pulak.. Told you'll already..

Rupes can group buy? Mana tau can get discount..  thumbup.gif

Aiyoo... Not now la, if buy Rupes makan rumput. I am not heavy commercial/business one, as much as those people (that don't appreciate or understand detailing) unwilling to pay for decent job, or ask for impossible warranty/guarantee, I don't really wanted to take those jobs.

But it is good that I can get a good machine to maintain my rides.

Group discount ah? Need to ask KrisMas arrange, they already bought long ago.

Where do you recommend to buy Rupes anyway?

I am thinking for the 15ES Deluxe Kit when I have the budget.

Or do you guys just buy the machine?

They use to be cheaper and can nego with seller but now they're about the same price ever since an authorised dealer was established for the region....well...I think you should know very well how that works.... tongue.gif

Oh...not too many of us like the Rupes compounds and polishes. Their pads are good but their polishes....not so much.

I just did a little bit of 'asking around' and seems like the Bigfoots' market price had gone beyond RM2k...even if want to buy the machine alone is already at the RM2k marks. The mini is just around a couple of hundreds lesser than RM2k.... sad.gif

Yeah...the few of us were really fortunate to get the Bigfoot at....errr....call it an 'introductory' price. The guy was supposed to become the official rep for this region but he was, unfortunately, 'muscled' out by...errmm....whoever la. Anyway, now I don't have any 'lobang' for the Rupes....sorry...

UC definitely has more cutting power than SwirlX. After UC comes Scratch X 2.0 only comes Swirl X.

Left most aggressive, right least aggressive, for SMAT product from Meguiars.

hi sifu,
plastic part is from my myvi rear wiper due meg gold class wax. The stains has been there for 1 to 2 months, I did not notice it until recently. tried using pencil eraser to wipe and it able to reduce the stains but those stains which sunk in deeper is harder to get out
I might try to post some pic when i back from work

How in the world did it got there...? Nevermind... tongue.gif . Later on when you're back home, try cleaning it with some diluted dishwashing liquid and a toothbrush (used ones would do.... tongue.gif ). Try not to get drips on the bumper. If you're a little OCD, remove the wiper. Very easy. Just pull out the cap and remove the nut. Then you can clean the thing up in the kitchen sink or something.....

depend how / where you keep in. General life span of product may vary between 2-5 years (can even be longer) if it doesn't expose to heat, moisture or contamination.

Tips to reduce contamination : - NEVER dip your bottle's mouth direct to the pad...

Who is the authorized distributor now? Can I can the pad from them? Last I went to Kuchai Lama, the shop only have pads for LHR21, not 15. So I got it from UK instead.

Open the bottle and look inside, if it looks 'clunky' or separated (clear water/oil on top with thick liquid separated at the bottom), try shaking the bottle vigorously and see whether it mix up again or not. If it's mix again and become thick luquid then it's still good. Normally, the newer Megs polishes would become watery if they went bad and the waxes would become 'clunky'...or in chunks.

If you're just trying to find out how long they would last before buying one...well...they last quite a few years if stored properly (not exposed to direct sun and heat) and shaken regularly (once a month or thereabout). I have quite a few Megs products and only ScratchX & M205 went bad on me. The rest are still good and some I bought almost a decade ago..... tongue.gif

Autocolourtech is still the 'official' Rupes rep. But, somehow, Bigfoot is represented under a different entity and they seem to get all the supply from SG.

i bought ultimate polish last 2 weeks and i could not remove swirl marks/scratches with hand application. Some more it dries so quick that i almost thought i marred my paint so bad that i stunned there for a few second while look at my paint. laugh.gif It does remove some watermark. Scratch X did a better job for me by applying with hand to remove scratches
