Updated my DA price list compilation .
V4 Detailing pg 130

Don't think one can get MK2 for the price.
Even before RM crash, it is already selling close to RM 2000 for Mark I

There have been discussion on waxing using hand and machine. For wax as last step protection, (LSP), you don't need a machine as application by hand is sufficient. It might be faster and less complex to spread via hand but if you are using it for cleaner wax , you have to justify is it worth the money and time saving. For correction (compound) and polish it would be beneficial to use machine [Rotary / DA] but the B&D works more of a wax spreader which many members here not recommending to purchase but instead go straight to Bosch 125AE at least which do light polishing and waxing (waxing, just use lower speed in 125AE)

Refer to diagram below for rough estimate on what the machine can do effectively. Refer to red font [ignore the "intention leave blank" as need to get the correct alignment]

Note : B&D WP 900 and Bosch 125A is single speed while 125AE is 6 speeder.

Compound --> Polish --> Wax /Sealant.
(intention leave blank xx) <-----B&D----->
(intention blank xxxx)<---125 AE-------->
(intention leave blank xxx) <---by hand-->

Long time ago...if you are car club members. ..can get discount. ..not sure if they still give

Don't think so unless they are having the some promotion or event tie-up with the specific car club.

back in 2007, discount was offered to WPC, Swift Club Malaysia & MYViC

Yes!!!...still have my Swift from 2005 ...just started detailing again...



...a bit on the extreme...seats removed for washing

Hi slk...long time no chat...

B&D good enough for wax application...that's about all it's good for....

alwiz admire those white Honda City on the road..it looks so classy...so got my new car white colour....2 months back

when rainy season with the dirt after 1 week i go wash...the dirt mark not completely go away..the shop fella said need wax rm 40 one layer or rm 80 full wax....else need polish...rm100...

before i regret why buy white...need advice on how to maintain a white car on longer term ? im not rajin enuf to wash every week

i heard of ceramic coating..is that good investment for protecting my car paint from dirt and remain shiny as now for long...without much wash/wax/polish ??

a 'true/real' coating help ease of maintainance e.g dirt don't bond so easily BUT doesn't mean will not bond at all...

The ONLY way to keep white car clean and white is AVOID park open air, expose to rain and expose to moonlight moisture, and if after heavy rain continuously say for 2 days, better do a wash ASAP instead let the air or sun dry up the surface.

Forget about water wax, or whatever so called quick wax , coating which cost u maybe less than Rm200-300...all those are gimmick.

yo whats up!. alang2 take out the seats and wash the carpet too

wash & QD twice in a week.... wax every month... should be allright

So using this product, water repel is superb? Rain won't stick or very minimal so the car won't gets dirty so fast? Plan to find some product that minimize car wash frequency. My car park outside so every 2 weeks must spend an hour or 2 to wash, a bit wasting water tbh... If forecasted water drought coming again, no chance to wash car somemore

Wash regularly...there's no other way. Even if you slap on the best coating money can buy, you'd still get those stubborn stain, albeit easier to wash off. And if you left it for too long and stain the coating, it's going to be a costly affair....

Anybody knows what is the best method to clean the those LC polishing/waxing pads? Just use clothes washing powder or dishwashing liquid?

you want the 'professional' way with using all the special tool and cleaning product or you just want the pad to be clean...??

Don't use powders. Use liquid detergent.

True story because drive ammo nyc's channel did explain.

Me just taruh dalam washing machine with liquid washing detergent smeared around the pads

water based polish = tap water.
oil based polish / wax / sealant = dawn

Dish washing liquid....and remember to rinse thoroughly.

washing machine spinning is too strong and will tear your sponge in no time,.

Yeah, I'm kinda interested to know this too.
Currently I just let is soak over night but somehow this works for Polish but not for Wax.
For Wax, I have to squeeze the remainder out and do a quick rinse with washing detergent.

Using normal clothes washing detergent

Any advice?
