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 smile.gif

So anyone willing to part with their rotaries? smile.gif

I was at Ace Hardware Mid Valley and saw they're selling this for RM200++

You might want to check it out at your nearest Ace Hardware store.

used Dewalt and Makita won't be at this price. A brand new Makita cost nearly Rm900, used one would expect at least 600-700 depend on condition. Plus adding backing plate, pad etc...conservatively, you set your budget Rm800

Guys,

If I apply sealant after washing my car..

Can I apply carnuba wax? (Turtle wax)
When does the detailer should be applied?

Post wash? pre sealant?

Usually ppl do this..

There is no right or wrong

It can be

wash > clay + detailer > Sealant

wash > clay + detailer > wax

wash > clay + detailer > Sealant > wax

wash > clay + detailer > wax > Sealant

I previously washed my car without claying and detailer..


straight skip to sealant , but somehow I find it not glossy/clean enough..


Should I just wash > clay + detailer straight?

Or if I clay, im just claying the sealant layer? if so, how to remove the sealant layer?

your list is SUFFICIENT. Since you named yourself poor so DON'T buy anything else until you FINISH existing stuff.

What colour is your car, age, surface condition ? Any pic to show as well ?

1. PG Perma glass wash & wax
2. PG Quick shine detailer kit + PG no.2 clay
3. PG polymer sealant (or with wax) or both...
