Won't get you much of a good quality coating at that budget. Make that 2k then you *might* be able to get a decent quality one. Sorry can't help.Car Care and Detailing [V3], LYN Automotive Detailing Thread

QUOTE(KrisMas @ Jan 28 2014, 02:59 PM) Have you ever seen any labels on the bottle/can from any brands of wax that mention DO NOT USE ON WHITE CARS? Well....I haven't....and I've never heard such a thing. Meg do have wax for white paint, never try it before.Maybe what the article meant to say is you couldn't get that deep carnauba-look on a white coloured car when using a carnauba-based waxes, hence not so suitable if that's what you're looking for. If for protection and the rest of other stuffs, I don't think there's any difference whether the colour is white or black...I mean clear coat is clear coat and they're the same regardless what the colour is underneath...... So far I have been using 2 kind of spray waxes, I like the ease of use, ~15min can wax the whole car; Optimum car wax and Duragloss aquawax. Optimum car wax suppose to be carnauba base while DG suppose to be sythetic wax. But I found DG give more dept, gloss, shines and slickness compare to ocw, this is more obvious on my wife's solid red car, my solid white is less obvious. But ocw last much longer than DG, easily 2x. If more rain, DG will wear off even faster, ocw can outlast by 3x. My cars are all park outdoor. |

QUOTE(nj922 @ Jan 28 2014, 09:08 PM) Many of the forummers here prefers to DIY.So the question is ....... do you want to DIY or pay someone to do for you? Think of coating as a very durable sealant. It is not a miracle product but something that gives you a durable protection. |

stone chip? can't seem to correct it off seems to create marring/hazing as the product lessens... http://twitpic.com/dtojwc well minus the marring /hazing part, the Meguiar M101 does a way better job at correction lol http://twitpic.com/dtok0a the defect I posted earlier was roughly reduced in half http://twitpic.com/dtok8q the rupes medium gel compound (green) seems like a waste of time compared to the m101... however the marring/hazing is an issue; Caused by lack of product/buff burns or something? |

No experience with Rupes polishes so can't say anything. But with the M101, a little haze is understandable as it is a compound after all. 2nd step with a milder combo is *always* required when using this level of aggressive combination, even with the Bigfoot. |

Any tips to produce a swirl-free surface? Swirl-free = defects free = cut cut cut. Just make sure you don't cut too much. Those scratches that you can catch with your fingernail or water etching that you can feel with your finger...do not attempt to remove those unless you know it's safe and you won't cut through the clear coat.btw bro Quazacolt lol happy detailing |
