Some of you might interest, some might not.



Ignore the left toilet bowl brush, a bit too stiff. Maybe for wheel well inner, but still I prefer something softer.

The long boom brush on the right, in my opinion is not soft. Whether it is hard or not is subjective. I personally prefer something softer. But still it can be a suitable wheel spoke brush in some hands. Most importantly, it is so cheap. RM2.30, you can change a new one every month.
Other pros about this brush is the center core is wrapped by non-metal material so chances of scratching the paint of the wheel due to the center metal is very low. Nevertheless, do bear in mind that I do not say there is no risk you might scratch from the bristle, although I think it is unlikely. The boom is also expandable, you can see two buttons there to lock it in place. I will intend to use this for the super tight space between the front disc break caliper and the wheel rim inner wall surface near the caliper, often time any decent brush after some usage at this tight space will deform in shape (bristle), with this super cheap brush I do not mind replacing it every month.

beautiful! so you mean you did a 3 step?
1st: UC + orange LC
2nd: DG501 + white LC
3rd: DG501 + black LC
nice info on the paint outcome if using only a single combination! so you in the end did it all for your whole car? how long did it take?

Meg glass cleaner got 20% discount now~! at selected AEON

Ace Hardware really sells wayyyy too much brands causing me to have real difficulty choosing anything if i didn't research (read reviews) before hand on certain brands.

the toilet bowl brush usually is really quite stiff, i was hunting before and toilet bowl's one all out.

did some shopping today...

i got chance to try out a bit on the ultramate machine while i was there at Osren. no back plate, just plug in electric and switch on, wanna feel the vibration. really quite vibrating lols. and also went on to touch all their MF cloths there to feel it. i would say they're all very plush, especially the more expensive one. its definitely better than PG's cloth. The cheapest Osren MF feels already better than the one from Daiso, so i now would get Osren's one if i'm getting new MF cloth. now i dunno where to put (rate) the MF that comes with Meg ULW.. oh i also saw there seems to be some new products in their show room, blue labelling one, not seen on their website yet. i think its a one-step compound/polish/wax product.

AEON Wangsa maju still got Meg's product on 20% discount, i got myself Meg endurance gel & glass cleaner as above. what i saw there still got UC, UP, UQD, UQL, one last UPW. no more ULW. see picture and decide if you want to grab'em


also this aeon got quite some 3M's spray type product, anyone here used before?


oh, also wanted to show what happens to my side mirror after a long distance drive at night time. i hate bugs.

Yes. 3 step for testing..

For heavy correction then I need to use these combos. But for non corrected paint I will only use DG501 or OHP for 1 step..

Wanted to test DG105 TPP as 1 step but no stock available right now..

Actually I haven't completed whole car.. Do it when I got free time..

Quazacolt *can't wait to test BSD*

either the bsd or ulw, or how the glaze is sticking the wax on it... i don't know.

i know they work really well together lol

Hi guys... disturb again. I got my new car but thinking of to coat or not to coat. If I don't coat. What is the next step I should take to take care of the paint.

Thank you again sifus

I see you put my old faithful to good use, well done my friend.

Do update me on the OHP performance.

Not sifu here but, wash, clay, wax, and there after wash regularly i would say.

would like to ask.. what's the difference between Meg's QDetailer and QWax application ? both looks the same from the product description, although i feel that QD has more cleaning properties and QW has more protection properties..

so by right one should wash the car and apply QD first then QW ?

btw.. anyone went to the Meg's fair at Sepang over this weekend ?

efaceninja Very nice haul there Is that the chamois leather drying cloth? Also, how much is the foam applicator pad?

thanks ninja bro... I'm going thru some pages in auto geek and saw permanon coating that i can DIY. any idea where i can find some? Maybe in penang.. .or maybe even other product! thanks

Right on the functions and steps of the 2 products. But after a wash, you'd probably only need Quik Detailer for some spots that you missed during wash.

Try Permanon Malaysia. Or Queensbay Mall Ace Hardware perhaps?

bro, u from penang too? can u pls kindly share the type of products u use here in penang and where to get it?

thanks

Yes usually I will remove all these brushes from my consideration also. But this one I bought because when I touch it through the plastic wrap it feels soft, plus the price so cheap. so I give it a try.

Where do you get your Meguiar's Detailer line product?

Regarding the Ultramate DA, you cannot just turn on the machine without backing plate and pad, the vibration will be different, and is expected to be more severe in this case. So you must have the backing plate attached on, at least this is the minimum, if pad is not available. 5" backing plate in my opinion gives the best smoothness to the Ultramate compare to 6" plate.

I see you have two brochures of Meguiar's. One of them I also have which I took from Ace Hardware.
The other one with the car as cover, what is it? where do you get it?

1st step, regardless u coat or not, learn proper washing methods and techniques. Even if you coat, proper washing is THE MOST important step to get right.

You've just answered your own question there.

. that is a waffle weave MF cloth for drying. the foam pad is RM 4 per piece.

no idea lols. i not yet looking into coating yet.

yup true on the DA's vibration test, the weight of the spinning part will be different and therefore vibration diff. if weight increase, vib will increase i suppose. but i don't want to trouble too much on mr heng who served me there since i'm not going to buy it that day anyways lol.

the brochure with car as cover is Meg's Professional line products brochure, meaning Detailers & Mirror Glaze one. i got my D155 from Hypercoat, and also the 2 brochures haha.

thanks bro

i've read a bit about 2 bucket system, MF mitts for washing, waffle cloth for drying and claying.

read only la. haven't gone out to buy yet. still trying to see what combination is good for newbie. easy to apply and all.

thanks again bro krismas! PG is harder to find products. mostly are Kit and soft99

From KL.

Like bro efaceninja mentioned, Aeon is having 20% off Meguiars. I think there's one in Penang. In fact, might be in Queensbay Mall. And while you're there, why not check out Ace Hardware?

If you're on a real tight budget and don't mind researching, go through the Automotive Garage in these forums, loads of members selling care care products.

psst psst, the meg 20% should be applicable to queensbay Aeon too. https://www.facebook.com/meguiarsmy/photos/...elevant_count=1. you can go grab the Meg's brilliant new car kit

for cheaper product, probably you can try out turtlewax? i personally never used it before la. for claying, cheapest one i believe is PG's wonder clay, get the no.2 one. that day i saw at AEON also they have PG clay kit, aka a bottle of PG Quick Detailer (as clay lube) and a box of clay for RM 39.90. KIT brand i personally don't really like it. as for soft99, my problem with soft99 is it just got wayyyyyyyy too much similar product choices there, and their product naming is super confusing, plus their product instruction/function explanation is mostly too generic or just plain Japanese words..

you can see my some of my newbie questions that i've asked before..

Thanks bro Ninja. Read thru your noobie post and found it really nice. Will start doing all these if i managr to get myself some products. Did u use any sort of coating as LSP?
