Hi! Sifus,
I have a 9 months old Vios. After certain times of washing and waxing, I can see some swirl marks on the gloss layer. How do I prevent this marks?

I use: Kit car wash and Kit Wax.

Further to that, what product and how do I care for such a new car? I do the washing myself.

TQ

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Just do 50/50 ~ Passenger side do paint correction

After wash > clay

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


This is after 20 seconds on front hood

Next - Compund using UC & wool pad > polish using OPT Hyper Polish + 8" red foam > Finishing using ULW + 5.5" black LC CCS pad

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


The other side not treated.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


So this is the result.. Hujan a bit this morning..

Driver side not treated. Still oxidize and blur

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Passenger side paint correction. Like mirror pulak icon_idea.gif But can be improve further..
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Sorry if I wrongly take image and make you'll confused.. But this is what I see and am satisfied with it..

Later do whole car pulak..

Any comment / feedback is highly appreciated. thumbup.gif

P/S - Seriously I need to practise more using rotary.. And I find that using 8" OPT wool and red foam pad is hard to control using makita when polishing but easier to control using 5.5" pad.. So I guess 5.5" is my choice thumbup.gif

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

Maybe I salah dengar.. shakehead.gif

using hand. machine will cause more swirls.. thats my opinion only and might be wrong.

Previously use hand with UC - problem

Now use with rotary.. Create swirls but finish with black pad - gooding

QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Aug 18 2014, 09:00 PM)
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?

Sifu want to buy Rupes pulak.. Told you'll already..

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

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

Not sure about this but i think using UP by hand will not remove swirl marks/scratches. I might be wrong in this.

Get UC. Never regret once i bought it. thumbup.gif

regret did not get UC during the jusco raya discount, dont know now still have the discount or not
are you using UC as swirl removers?
*
I use UC to remove:

Swirl marks

light scratch (deep belum test lagi)

Waterspot mark (confirm hilang if use it correctly)

oxidize paint

This is the main reason i use UC and it was fantastic. Try swirlX before but couldn't get the job done.

BTW, you use hand or machine?

Becareful when using hand. The pressure from your finger might cause 'finger-marring'. Follow up with polishing and finishing will remove those marring. I kena before..

Same goes when using machine.. confirm hologram appear but some claimed they able to compound without hologram.. vmad.gif But ok la i still newbie not yet expert.. laugh.gif
