Hi bro may I ask where you purchase your Shine Mate ERO 600 dual action polisher? Can tell price?

i bought it locally at tawau lol. price rm680.

it depends on the usage of the car, imo, ppl normally change tyre in 2 yrs time, am guessing they won't have the chance to notice aging/cracking issue.
me for example, using tyre of threadwear of 600(imagine how long until i ned to change lol, exclude the aging factor), certainly hope to retain the tyre condition until the threads ended. just my $0.02

wow that is very far away from me. You are Sabah guy?

sure mang.

this should be good enough, and considering i prefer low treadwear/soft compound tires for better NVH/grip, accompanied with my aggressive driving, well yeah. chances are the treads will be gone before my sidewall shows any cracking much less puncturing

What are you using now for tar remover??
Seeking for budget and effective one...




Tar. mostly found in my car skirting..

I'm using Duragloss Ultimate Orange. Dilute it according to your need, more information here http://www.autogeek.net/duragloss-ultimate-orange.html

Bought it sometime back , 1 gallon for about rm120. I have a few bottle dilute by 20:1, 10:1 for different cleaning purpose.

You can try Zippo fluid or diesel. I don't have/use a dedicated tar remover - I tend to use any solvent that are paint-safe. These solvent works extremely well in dissolving tar (better than most over-the-counter tar remover) and, as long as you don't let it dry on paint, they're very mild solvent and safe for cars' paint. If you want a dedicated one, I've tested Osren's and Meguiars and they're quite decent (though not so cost-effective).

Osren not cost effective to you too?

Can tell where you bought the 1 gallon Duragloss Ultimate Orange?

Not really...the new one just not enough ooommph for me....I liked the old one better. Anyway, I got plenty of other solvents for tar so not really into a dedicated tar remover....

sorry not sure if this is considered detailing, but anyone can recomment where to do engine wash/cleaning?

I'm helping out a friend to unload some detailing stuffs...sad to say he's decided to move on and do something else. Anybody interested PM me for the list. Doing some charity work for him and you guys here...win-win deal...

Regards.

Yea...interested with it..drop me PM see wht ur friend have..thanks

How often should we polish the car leather seat?

List pm please.

if car already did coating, i should using meguiars goldclass wash or nxt shampoo or ultimate wash n wax shampoo?

imho if you can maintain weekly wash just after the coating (how long was it since your last coating? ) if within a few weeks i'd say go with wash and wax

Ideally, a good practice is to wipe/clean them with a damp cloth as often as you wash the car and apply some leather dressing monthly or bi-monthly. Unfortunately, time is often not on our side and myself, I can only afford the extra time to do that maybe once a month (cleaning) and dressing between 3 ~ 4 months. My waja seats are still in good condition after 5 years.

Based on the few 'proper' coatings that I've tried, any shampoo would do (as long as they're from a reliable brand la). But best is to get something strong but without much wax/sealant/glossifier/etc. From the option you stated, I'd say either Gold Class or NXT.
