QUOTE(winkiedilwy @ Dec 2 2013, 06:22 PM) Anyone knows where can get turtle wax headlamp restorer? The one that come with sandpad and stuff? TW items can find from eneos/ace hardware or even major super markets such as aeon/tesco.And anyone knows how to remove irritating water stains on windscreen? Must use sandpaper as well? for watermarks on glass: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=58557449 |

QUOTE(g88 @ Dec 5 2013, 08:33 AM) Look 'shining' for the reflection but is it swirl free (try park your car under street (yellow) light) and check it out. oh no that car has not been washed for more than 2 months.Detailing is not only talking about how 'shining' - layman term...we will talked about how GLOSSY, WET Gloss is it it's actually very dirty and there's nothing worth mentioning about. just showing pictures of my new house lighting as house renovation is just done. it is to prepare for my new car and of course i'll be using that parking lot for my detailing sessions |

QUOTE(KrisMas @ Dec 5 2013, 09:58 AM) Black car....hehehe....are those LEDs or normal ones? SO BRIGHT!!! eh i told you my car color during proton bola event? or you reading my mind? XDAnyway, a couple of suggestions. 1. Looks like the lighting is just at one side. You might want to consider setting one up on a tripod/stand for mobility sake so that you can carry it around the car. Also for working at the lower panels. Also good to have one for outdoor activities like barbeques, etc.... 2. I think it's time to get yourself a decent torch light for inspections. They're good for emergency situations too, like during black-outs, night time travels, temporary blinding 'unwanted' visitors, etc. Or maybe even a headlamp. and nah, they are just normal Philips Fluorescent lifemax with brightboost tubes at highest color temperature 6500k: http://www.ecat.lighting.philips.com.my/l/...27982286536_eu/ so far should suffice... then there's the "xtreme" versions rofl: http://www.ecat.lighting.philips.com.my/l/...27982386514_eu/ i think the brightness is due to phone cam not able to capture light properly and just glare the whole thing up 1) yes i got a tripod halogen spotlight too for serious works the only missing lightining are on the gate direction past the awning. theres 1 left of the car (middle pillar, hiding behind the drain pipe) and 1 right of car underneath a covered/weather proof enclosure 2 on the back, 1 on the edge of the top awning (that round one) so if i want to focus on the hood, generally i'll go in hood first, else the ass first as i got a lot more space to work with. but yea the whole place lights up like a chrismas tree compared to neighbors so it's kinda attention grabbing in a way; more so i only turn em on during night detailing session and my house would be the only xtra bright one lol 2) ah good reminder, gonna start shopping for one from amazon or something. that famous damn bright one? iinm also not using conventional batteries? i remember we talked about it, just can't recall it at the moment on the brand name... |

QUOTE(winkiedilwy @ Dec 10 2013, 09:33 PM) Nope. It removes the outside residue (squeaky clean now) but not the inside one. The plastic actually eats through the yellowish residue. Last time that one is they tried to promo their headlights restorer. Same results. Headlight still yellowish. Tomorrow I'll be trying on other car. well if you dare open up the headlamp you can give that a go but yea, do consider plastic protection/sunscreens so in the future you won't have to (or at least not for a very long time) repeat again |
