If wanna try opti is like moving to a new line...




THat Opti-Coat not sure what is it i saw the price tag, i need tie my stomach!


Nice thing, until now im able to get 2000 sand paper only. Where u get 2500k?

Since everyone is into orange peel removal now, let me give a lil bit of minor push too



Using velvet pad with compound via Dewalt rotary.

Mine are Megs Unigrit, brought in by a friend coming back from the US loooooong time ago. Have you tried calling up Osren? I think they also have some good quality Nikkens and also others....

1st attempt at OP removal on scrapped Civic hood. Sanded with hardware shop sandpaper 1500 > 2000. Compound with Osren compound to remove sanding marks and finally polished. I suspect i removed quite a bit of clear coat in the process but since it's scrapped panel

What's the current local price tag anyway? Oh...and there are other options.....

Literally transformed your ride into a moving mirror now Mad respect man.

Wow, i thought no one using Unigrit no dare to ask. But reading through other forums it sounds not that bad. I havent really expose to KL detailing industry like Osren and Opti yet im always in Meguirs. Maybe i should try calling up to get the sand paper. Need to touch up all this.

Then you should give Osren a call or drop down at their place for a visit, very friendly folks over there. Megs may be superior in chemicals and abrasives, but Osren has quite an impressive line up of tools, cloths, accessories, etc. at very decent pricing.

Sounds cool, wanna drop meet up and drop by together?
But I like to ask a lot one leh me KIASU KIASU!
Oh yea my tools coming next month... Where can i get 3inch backing plate? So i can use the pad from the DA polisher!

Hmm how to describe. Not as smooth as polishing the paint that's for sure. The velvet pad won't exactly glide smooth on the paint and the fact you need a steady and constantly moving the buffer and also evenly cover the entire panel. Mind you, the panel gets real hot after that. I'm on 1400rpm. For edge and corner, I switch to small 3" velvet pad and with the small pad, much more easier to control.

Just drop by there and look for Hendry. Sell my name if you want...and ask away. I've once brought one of the members here and we spend like around 2 hrs there...Q&A sessions....hahaha....

You should be able to get the 3" backing plate from them...they have Lake Country, Buff and Shine, etc.

No problem with that....but I need to find out who's holding on to it though....hahahah....

Aiyo....that's paint la. I'm referring to other types of coating....like 22ple, Sonax, ArtDeShine, DG Nano Glass, etc. can now buy locally and DIY already....

Haha.... Scared using that more scary then wool for me


Sounds interesting eh. By gf sure !! so they bring Lake COuntry... INTERESTING!

Thanks for the feedback master..

Lol.. At first I was so shocked to see aeon selling this.. later only know it's different..

Master, may I know the 'durability' of all products you listed here?

That's a very subjective and difficult question to answer.........

Just put it this way la...if properly maintained, all these coatings can easily go through the 1 year mark. I have the 22ple VX1 Pro on my current ride and it's still beading and sheeting cleanly after 2 1/2 years, but the horizontal panel barely scrape through the 2 yrs mark....though I blame that to the crazy haze and dry spell that we had early this year.

But these coatings aren't 'bullet proof' and they're also prone to water marks and wash marring. Although still beading and sheeting water very well, I can see swirls has developed on my car and soon, I'd need to remove the coating and re-apply. So, even if the coating do last very long, they aren't swirl/damage-proof. I'm of the opinion that people like us don't really need to spend money for something that can last 3 years, or 5 years or 'permanent' coatings. It's just an alternative to normal wax/sealant so as to provide a TEMPORARY protection for the paint. To me, the main advantage of these coatings is you don't need to re-apply them as often as normal wax/sealants. The thickness and hardness of the coatings also provide SOME advantage against normal wax/sealant but the main reason is what I've stated before.

very inspirational
