Used it a few times on my white car, it leaves grey-ish/yellow-ish baked stains on the paint. Its now in my cabinet collecting dust or will use it on other non critical parts of my car  . |

QUOTE(ZZR-Pilot @ Feb 2 2016, 08:19 PM) Today's scratch removal project completed. is it removed or covered ?Cost - second hand rotary buffer RM100, new sponge buffing pad RM20, 1000-grit sandpaper RM0.80, Turtle Wax Color Cure Plus RM45, Tesco applicator sponge RM2. Old microfiber cloths & girlfriend's Mantis Scratch Remover FREE! Total cost RM167 plus change. My hood got keyed real good. Long winding gash about 1 metre long and it's been a royal eyesore. [attachmentid=5959218] The gash dug halfway thru the clearcoat. Can feel it with my fingernails, so need sandpaper to sand down the clearcoat. [attachmentid=5959228] Sanding down. Check out that winding gash! Whoever did this was a real sohai. Need water spray to lube the sandpaper. [attachmentid=5959221] 3 hours later.. ta-daaa! I felt like Tool Time Tim. [attachmentid=5959219] Cast of honour. Star of the show, the second hand China rotary buffer and matching el cheapo sponge buffing pad from Chinaman hardware store. Dishonorably discharged - Turtlewax Polishing Compound. Farking useless. [attachmentid=5959230] Lessons learned: 1) Turtlewax Polishing Compound wasn't up to the job. Not abrasive enough, took bloody forever to polish out the scratch. 2) Mantis Scratch Remover is shit on its own, but if you use it with a rotary buffer... hell yeah! 3) El cheapo second hand China rotary buffer will do the job, instead of the more expensive dual action polisher. |

QUOTE(g88 @ Feb 3 2016, 01:14 PM) is it removed or covered ? Removed by wet sanding.Got another set of scratches elsewhere on the car that go down to the base coat and in some parts, bare metal. Ouch. Don't think they can be wet sanded out, have to think of something else to reduce their appearance (amateurs like me have no hope of completely erasing shit like this). Thinking rubbing compound, black paint, thinner, clear coat, fine paintbrush & a really steady hand. Touch up, let dry, then machine buff with rubbing compound. |

I used Mantis Scratch Remover out of convenience, really. At first I bought Turtle Wax Polishing Compound for RM19 thinking I was going to have the last laugh, but it was taking bloody forever removing clear coat with a sponge pad. I ransacked the store room and found my girlfriend's Mantis Scratch Remover...thanks. I am pretty sure I'm not going to polish cars for a living, so I decided to spend as little as possible on buffing machines. Try your luck on Mudah.com.. I got lucky there, maybe you will too. |

Yes indeed, Wax is only for paint protection.Like I said, white wax acts as cleaner/polish/wax. If you dont have it, you can go with Polish THEN Waxing. Perhaps you can post a photo of your car stain? I also only recently jump onto the car detailing band wagon, other sifus might advice you on better. So far, I'm pretty happy with Meguiars products and will be sticking with it for a while. I have both black & white car thus I'm using Black Wax and White Wax. |

hi guys,
just got my new car. plan to wash and wax it now. have been doing some reading, initially i thought of going to do coating however now i think i'd go for regular wash / wax regime instead. a few questions here.. i saw some of you posted this (wash - clay - sealant - wax) - i understand the washing and claying part, however a bit confused with the wax and sealant.. what's the difference? was told that since my car is new it doesnt really need polishing. which car shampoo would you recommend? preferably something that's mid-class, not that expensive but not that cheapo either lol. along with the sealant and wax, any particular models to look for? my car is grey by the way. thanks sifus! |

Polish is to do paint correction paint cleaning and correction. Alot misunderstand 'fresh/new paint' from factory is perfect but the fact its not coz your car mostly under hotsun and open air / rain for x amount period before it reach you....again its upto whether you want to do polish or not. A clean surface will alot protection (wax/sealant/coating) to bond properly/last longer. |

QUOTE(jamestc @ Feb 3 2016, 05:38 PM) Interesting patch. If you run your finger across, does it gets cleaned? or does it reveal the clear coat? or is it still looks oxidated? Looks like some liquid got spilled or either oxidation (but cannot be so quick). Sifus might help |
