QUOTE(g88 @ Dec 8 2014, 11:55 AM) look like your windscreen has high contamination which even rain X can't bond well (yet) ?? Not sure whether high contaminant or not.. But we have clay and polish before apply rainX.. Anyway, can I ask you something? When we worked in high temperature, as I know we need to down size the work area and I did.. But why product still caked on my pad and on the paint? Any suggestion? Thanks

QUOTE(wurz @ Dec 18 2014, 08:42 AM) Sifus, do you recommend any car detailing shop for polishing, interior cleaning in PJ area? Based on value for money/quality/etc. Would love to hear your opinions. Thanks! PJ area - Detailien Hives? Or you can search 'independent' mobile detailer. QUOTE(kalvinkhoo @ Dec 18 2014, 09:58 AM) One I can see is that Goodwell Car Care in Mahkota Cheras sells detailing product such as Chemical Guys - IGreenLover - Polishing tools - FLEX but need to order  - CG Hexa-pad - LC Pad - etc

QUOTE(thom_chai @ Dec 23 2014, 10:33 AM) Im willing to bet you will sell your rotary once you gotten the Flex since you will not be using it often anymore  No la master.. rotary will always be my first baby.. cheewaahhh.. QUOTE(KrisMas @ Dec 23 2014, 11:43 AM) NOOOO!!!!! If I can only have ONE machine then it'll be a rotary. Flex DA, normal DA, Rupes, Bosch ROB, etc. they have limitations. A rotary can do *almost* everything from *very* heavy compounding to the most delicate finishing. And, pair it with the right backing plate and pads, would be able to reach all those small, intricate and difficult to reach areas/panels. Yes.. rotary can do 'almost' all the job but i need DA for 1 step process.. couldnt take longer hours as my weight issue.. huhuhu QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Dec 23 2014, 02:42 PM) Pinjam FLEX  Not yet buy la master.. once i beli then we keep in touch ya..

Thanks bros. Seems like need to send it to pros as I don't think I will have the patient to do it for days or weeks  Checked with a few of those polish + wax packages costing below RM200 and most of them said that their package work can remove this problem. But also read that there are some quotes for RM500 to 1k in the forum. May I know if anyone has the experience of those below RM200 packages? Are they good enough to remove this? Coz I don't plan to spend more than that for this, unless I have no choice  Thanks Maybe I missed out your post but may I know what car you're using right now? I have experienced with 'under RM200' polish n wax (both for vios) and 1 shop turned badly and the other shop turned up so so only.. So depends on where do u sent your car to.. I believed there are shops that provide good job for that amount but need to search for it lor..

QUOTE(garrick86 @ Jan 14 2015, 12:09 PM) Hi sifus, are there anyplace in cheras or old klang road that provide car detailing service that is good and below RM200? I need to do it for Toyota Harrier, been to a second-hand carwash place in PJ to wash the cushion overcharged me for RM900. RM900 to wash cushion? QUOTE(lowyat101 @ Jan 14 2015, 05:04 PM) Ya, you are correct as I didn't mentioned it before, it's a black Accord, previous generation. I have done some searches and found that this shop (88 Auto Spa in Kuchai Avenue) has the best looking pictures, but not sure if anyone has any experience with them. Not trying to do any promotions here, so please let me know if I shall remove their name here  Thanks IME, D segment for below RM200 not sure can get or not.. Maybe you can try your luck.. Machiam pernah nampak itu shop..
