Come means become kuli liao

gotten exactly this, vouch for it's effectiveness

rain x is not a cleaner.

and rain x is not acidic.

i used goo gone (orange scented), should the be the same thing, on tinted windscreen to remove road tax sticker

look at the thread title before posting.

you should be posting on the main forum: https://forum.lowyat.net/TheFast&TheFurious
or rather asking at the specific car club forums would yield better result: https://forum.lowyat.net/CarClubs

even better if you can use the forum search function, or better yet use google search, give a call up to various part stockists and so on so forth.

yes and no.
use waterspot removing steps is better

- polishing, shouldn't need to compound.
do consider proper steps so you do not create scratches yourself (eg: wash properly, clay, then polish)

- to a professional detailer when doing detailing, even 1 small scratch is not acceptable
there are even specific tools (such as high powered xenon torch lights/light stands) to spot scratches/swirl marks/defects etc.

first inspira car wash lol http://twitpic.com/dtd3v2

I can assure you, the surface is full of defects and contaminants lol... will continue tomorrow http://twitpic.com/dtd3wx

second day car wash again, and claying done. took me 3 hours http://twitpic.com/dthcx8

yes both pictures are taken just after the car is rinsed. NO drying done at all. look at how even the water is http://twitpic.com/dthd19

i'm considering whipping out the DSLR after i am done surface correction

oh and TIL: a lizard can hold onto my rain-x treated windscreen up till 160km/h

not crazy at all... dirt/road film etc etching the clear coat, then just need some itchy hand or even a car wash can rub them all in leaving swirl marks/scratches

ok! lol

day3 on my inspira detailing:
fell to the ground, I'm crying inside ;_; http://twitpic.com/dtkhws

the polish/compound that came with the rupes bigfoot lol... they seem really mild... and tend to dry up quite fast despite me doing it at midnight (hmm the bigfoot is still noisy for midnight operation lol!)

much thanks for the tip btw! i'll work on the passes a lot more/slower and i guess higher rpm? i run on 1 > 2 > 3 settings before stopping; maybe go up to 4?

btw thanks for the recommendation on the lambswool washmitt, it's DAMN plush and holds a LOT of shampoo/soap
even my sis commented it's better off being a hug toy in the bed since it's so damn plush lol...

btw are normal detergent and dishwashing soap ok for the washmitt? and why you mentioned those things don't last? is it because the wool will fall off gradually? i noticed in my wash bucket there are traces of fallen wool lol...
