Sandpaper should be able to get in most of the hardware shop, I think.


Hi. Not sure what things do you refer to. Or perhaps everything from car wash to wax?

Basic 4 steps: wash->clay->compound/polish->wax/sealant

-Wash: there are many of decent car wash products (budget as well) that you can get over the counter, like Mothers, Turtlewax, Sonax, etc. Wash with 2 bucket system. Invest on grit guard to minimize the chances of inducing more swirls on your car paint while washing your car.

-Clay: you can get soft99 claybar or 3M claybar,etc. Use car wash shampoo or quik detailer as lube while claying your car. This step is to remove surface contaminants before going to polish.

-Compound/Polish: This can be quite a long story. It totally depends on the condition of your paint surface. Recommend using Meguiars Ultimate Compound + Ultimate Polish to start playing with.

-Wax: After you have removed surface defects, it's time to apply a layer of wax (or maybe more than a layer if you wish) for protection. Meguiars, Osren, Duragloss, Optimum,.......and the product list goes on.

Just a general idea for you to start with. Hope I did answer your question(which I think I did not LOL)

looks convincing, anyone try this before? all comments are welcomed.

Hi there,

Wanna know if any of you guys can recommend a place to do paint touch up for cars? Got a big rock hit my bonet and now the paint chip down to the primer coat..

Haven't heard much of a 'convincing' reviews about them....

Wet sandpaper I mean.

Thanks for the tips. I guess im just too paranoid sometimes, fearing i might accidentally scratch the paint if simply swipe without QD. Was working on a truck lately and it keeps raining and my DA broke down suddenly when i'm halfway working on the hood. Luckily it's just loose electrical cord Fixed by cutting a few inches and reconnect each wire back to the circuit.

Now the DA cord is around 4 inches shorter

lol welcome to OCD club =P

hmm can use thinner/tupin to clean too? more effective?

or use RAINX that use to clean our windscreen? (guess this will have effect because it's acid) ?

Depends which side you want to clean. If you got tint, better don't.
I have been using rain x to clean and peel road tax sticker many time, I don't face any problem.

Just that you need to rinse after claying.
