If I recommended that you use top-of-the-line RM200 products to do the job, would you be more convinced? Hehe...

I've got a restoration project myself when I find the time in January. 5-year old black SUV, original paintjob with the complimentary cuci kereta swirls and a nasty scratch that drags across an entire door. I'll be armed with that cheap RM20 TW polishing compound, a cheap TW Color Cure Plus Black thingie, a second-hand adjustable speed rotary buffer that I got for RM100... and I'm trying to find that TW Platinum Ultra Gloss sealant and a 2000-grit sandpaper.

A complete outer respray paintjob would set me back RM2500, let's see if I can rejuvenate the paint this way and save myself RM2200.

If an idiot like me can do it, I'm sure you can too.

I am thinking almost same way with you, just i plan to start by hand cause bo machine...

May I know TW polishing compound consider is least abrasive product? and did i need for another round fine polishing after this polishing compound?
And after that use spray wax or sealant will do?

thanks.

Planning to so call detailed my soon to be 3 months old car on CNY holiday. Plan to protect with Collinite 476s and add another layer of this Fusso Coat at the end of the holiday. I choose this 2 product is because of the durability as when come back to Klang Valley have no choice, need park in open space parking n only able to do No Rinse wash as live in low cost apartment without proper car wash bay. The high hydrophobic properties of this Fusso Coat hopefully will protect my car until the next 4 month(will do proper washing in long Raya holiday) and another 2 layer of this product.

Hi bro, mind to share where you able to buy 476 ?? Been searching high n low for this wax.

Hi guys,

I have a solid white 2012 car that has been abused by the dirty air in Kuala Lumpur. Whenever I sent the car to a cheapo RM20 chemical wash at any gas station car wash, I can feel the surface of the paint is getting harsher (like it is thinning or something). I have paid for an RM150 wax and polish session but the whiteness will only last for 3 weeks tops, eventhough the shop said it will last for 3 months at least.

Please recommend how to recover the original white lustre of the car paint.

Thanks.

Compared to the TW Rubbing Compound, the TW Polishing Compound is already less aggressive. After a couple of passes & buffing off, I think it should be ready for TW Color Cure Plus. Two coats of that, then the polymer sealant goes on to seal the deal. Job done.

The hard work is in the polishing stage where you remove swirls, scratches & dullness by cutting down a thin layer of the paint's clearcoat... without adding fresh damage from hamfisted use of the buffing machine.

If the paintwork is badly weathered or in a really lousy condition, then u use something more abrasive to cut out the imperfections faster, like that rubbing compound or a cutting compound. Otherwise you won't need it.

The only use of spray wax at this point is to moisten the pad on the rotary buffer at the beginning to avoid running a dry pad on the paintwork. It's otherwise not needed.

Could I apply TW polishing compound with Tesco brand applicator by hand? instead of machine?

TW color cure cure plus is some kind of finishing polishing or wax?

Hi guys.

I have a 2 weeks old Myvi Glittering Silver. Honestly, I have no knowledge on car care/detailing therefore I hope some sifus/otais here can help me out. I used to drive a '96 Wira Jade Green and the way I wash it? Sponge and car wash liquid from Giant  and I use the same sponge for the whole car until it koyak into million pieces.

I wanna treat my Myvi different haha. So far I only washed it once with some Magic 101 liquid and some cheap micro-fibre cloths from Mr. DIY topped with some Getf1 tyre wax. Initially my plan was to go for a deal from 11Street that offers Ion coating, 9H glass coating etc.. for RM500 at 88 Auto Spa. But after reading a few forums about all these cheap deals for car detailing, I think I better not take up those deals to avoid getting scratches on my car or kena 'con' by them, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Btw here are some question(sssss)
1. Must we dispose the micro-fibre cloths every time after wash? I remember reading somewhere saying that dirt/sand/small stone will get stuck in the cloth and it WILL cause scratched and swirl marks on your car.
2. Does the wash liquid really matter? Whats the difference between Giant branded liquid and those branded ones? If yes, please recommend me something GOOD ENOUGH but not too pricey.
3. Im planning to apply water repellent on all my windows, F & R windscreen. Do I have to remove the water marks before I do so? If yes, how should I do it and what products to use for the water repellent, water mark remover, cloth & etc.
4. Wax. To me its like a whole new world to me. Its like when I just started to discover *ahem ahem*  Turtle wax? Soft99? Megs?


Sila maafkan saya abang2 sekalian. Hope some of you have the mood to read a long message hehe. hehe maafkan
Cheers LYN.

Anyone knows where to get DeWalt DWP849x in Malaysia?

I've seen plenty of them around in hardware shops that sells DeWalt...price could defer and should cost you on the high side of RM600 but shouldn't reach RM700.

Congrats on the new car.

I just want to add a few words only in addition to all the good advice above.....

1. Work Clean - anything that touches the car paint must be as clean as you can get it cleaned. Eg. when washing the car, wring off the cloth to force out those dirt that you've just 'wiped' off the car so that it won't go back onto the surface of the paint to minimise wash-induced swirls (scratch).

2. If you want to apply anything onto the car, be it onto the paintwork (wax/sealant), glass (water repellants), plastic (dressings), leather (protectant) etc., the rule of thumb is SURFACE PREPARATION. Get the surface as clean or as defect free as you possibly can, then only you apply anything onto it. This would ensure the effectiveness and performance of the products applied.

3. For detailing products, in general, the 'good-things-don't-come-cheap' quotes applies..... . Do look for, at the very least, products from a well established brands like Soft99, Turtle Wax, etc. If you can afford, try to consider the other 'better' brands like Meguiars, Sonax, Mothers, 3M, etc. My suggestion for a decenet enough brands to start off are those from Osren.

Cheerio
