normal one that can get from hardware store.

Meguiars ultimate quik detailer is not a polish. You use for a quick touch up or to clean some dirty spots on a fully waxed car or as clay lube but the normal non-ultimate quik detailer is cheaper as clay lube. Use a claybar first and ultimate compound or ultimate polish for polish if you want to stick with Meguiars. Maybe your car's paint still has some dirt which needs removing by claying/polishing and the wax isn't sticking well enough because of the dirt.

Got read from orsen web Saturday got open till 1.00pm, I rush there and arrive 12.00pm to see it closed. Am I missing something? Wanna shop for bucket and some spray bottle.

Perhaps should try from their rear entry?
Just been there around 10am today.

Go around the premises. But both grill shut. But the light inside got on. Or is it we need to call their worker to open?

I usually went on saturday. The front gate is closed during my first two visits.
Perhaps as per what you said, try calling them instead since the light still on.

Sifus,

I just started washing my car seriously today with two bucket system..

I bought PG's polymer wash & wax and PG polymer sealant and microfibre cloth for RM35..

Use both products and found my car cleaner and shines... but somehow waterspots can't be removed.. feel like its not enough =/

Should I also buy the PG shine detailer and a clay? before I go into waxing?

Sorry but what is orsen Web? Where is it and what's sold there? Thanks:)

waterspot not so easy to remove as they are 'caked' mineral, not even clay will do much to it. it only become easier to remove after you dissolved them with acidic stuff

ideally u should prepare your surface adequately first(wash, clay, remove waterspot , etc) before u wax. else u just wax over those contaminant instead of the clear coat

More serious 'etched' watermarks u will need to polish, depending on the 'etched' on to your clearcoat/car paint, mild level ones u can do away with mild polish, more serious 1 you will need something more abrasive.

Once it is polished out, you need to seal it (wax, or sealant or any Last Step Protection solutions), so future watermarks will not be formed and makes your washing much easier.

Hey eprince,

So I had some time during the weekend and gave it a go again.
Its still the same product but I have then changed to Meguiars Micro Fiber cloth.

This time I payed extra attention to the sponge, cloths and micro fibers.

1) Washed with a wool (or similar) sponge
2) Dried with a separate micro fiber "DRY" cloth
3) Waxed with another separate micro fiber cloth

The results to my surprise, was night and day.

I took this picture after my wash and you will notice the micro swirl marks left by years of neglected care.


Here's the results after applying JUST Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax and using the Meguiars Supreme Shine Micro Fiber cloth.


I was really surprised with the results and I found this forum posting below that it seems Ultimate Quik Wax have some "Filling" capability.
Though I do not think that by just applying the Ultimate Quik Wax have "Corrected" the swirls, I believe the Micro Fiber cloth
may have applied the wax in a much finer manner and also spread the solution across better.

If you're doing by hand, you have to take note of:-
1) Elbow grease needed
2) Correct cloth
3) Correct method (small sections at a time)
- I split my bonnet/door panels by half
- For door panels, I did the top half first to avoid picking up dirt/dusts from the lower panels
- The roof, I split it into quarters 1/4 section

The correct method of applying any polish or waxes:-

I have yet to give Swirl X (ordered, waiting to arrive) a try and properly "Correct" the swirls,
but lets see if the swirls resurfaces after a few wash. Again, I dont think Ultimate Quik Wax have "Corrected" the swirls.

Will try to post more when I have the chance to give Swirl X a go!

Other than that, I hope this post helps you for your black car!

Hi guys,

i am new to the forum and have been spending quite some time reading the whole V4 thread. Initially i just wanted to save my 13 years old wira's paint which has been neglected all these years. So i started washing and claying and boy it was the most wonderful feeling claying those rough surface into glass smooth paint and i now am hooked to this feeling although the paint surface now is much cleaner and smooth but there are still visible scratches and chips that i need to work on. So here am i reaching out to your guys to see if anyone is willing to let go their makitas or dewalt So far i've tried the random orbital from Black&Decker but it is not good enough to remove the scratches.

what product are you working with ? Any image to show which can define your issue more precise ?

Hi g88,

here is some of the pics.




some of the scratches is hard to capture from my phone camera.

they look like clear coating gone soon or some deep scratches done by abrasive product. You may want a compound to fix this.

Yes, i wanna try if i can level the paint further and see how it goes. That's why i am looking for 2nd hand rotary buffer.

what your budget ? How about backing plate, foam pad, wool pad, product etc ?

around rm300-400 for RB,including the backing plate,pads if that's possible

Err I dont mean no offence but are you confident with the rotary buffer?

IMO, I would leave the power tools to the expert and maintain it through out the year with some diligent hand polish/waxing.

well, i have zero experience to be honest but i guess i need to start somewhere and if i just start with least aggressive product and pad and not go crazy with the speed of the buffer i should be alright right? Also this is an old car and i just want to see how much i can get out from this paint. If i can get this right then i am happy, if it goes south i am not too heart ache too

So anyone willing to part with their rotaries?
