water sheeting (Hydrophilic) will cause less water mark on the surface.

my scirocco is protected by modesta BC03 (Hydrophilic).

i love the result.

dodo juice red mist tropical or supernatural red mist? i cant see supernatural red mist product though.

i used red mist before, it causes the surface very dirty, the mist contains oily ingredient.

Sorry, my bad. Red Mist isn't under their Supernatural line. I'm using the 'original' one...the 'flamable', not the 'tropical' version. Yes, it's 'oily' and, like other natural waxes, it has the tendency of retaining dirt after a while if not washed regularly. But the slickness, gloss, depth and beading is second to none, so far as those that i've tried la. Absolutely love the look of it on my dark coloured car.

Concur on that. Not too suitable for light/white coloured car. For those, sealant type sprays are better.

I don't recommend CQuartz....a PITA to apply, especially if you're new to coating. CQuartz UK is ok but not CQuartz.

30ml can.

But I guess this your first time with paint coating, so just buy and try first.(Yes, I know it may be expensive).

CQUK to go. Last time I was lucky to get it BOGO from Autogeek. Sold off all 3 packs in a flash, kept 1 to try.

But man... I don't like the application process. But then, the CarPro suede application method is good if not the best, I used it to apply whatever coating till now.

Does the CQUK gets tacky/sticky when you're applying? Normal CQ always do that to me and a bit difficult to get the timing right for levelling/buffing. Just couldn't make it work...still got an unopened bottle of it around somewhere. Got them dirt cheap frm Ultimateshine before the 'other guy' took over....

Covered is one thing....when there is temp different between the OUTER and INNER of distributor it will create WAP air....

user posted image

My advice is open it up (usually 2 screw), CHECK is there any WAP air inside...you may spotted corrosion in it

user posted image

Clean them up with a screw driver.....and mist the whole cap inner part with WD40 and screw it back.....

* TRY NOT TO unplug the plug cable from the cap when you remove to avoid you mess up the sequence....

my case is confirmed distributor problem.. my foreman swapped the distributor and the engine can start up fine. so i just bought the distributor (2nd hand). heavy price for my engine cleaning lesson cry.gif need to wrap the whole damn distributor and not just the plug cap area as i did.

by the time i read your advise on opening up the distributor and spray with WD40 (or contact cleaner better?), i've already changed the distributor. so.. now i got a possible saveable denso distributor laying around for my experiment and learning..

btw, already a few days didn't check-in in this thread, looks like everyone is onto sealant/coating blink.gif unsure.gif

Did not have any experience with normal CQ, but with all the reviews out there, I am glad so.

But CQUK it just goes on like OC2.0, even further with every drop since it is slightly more diluted. I always buff within half a min.

Yes my first time.. and it was not for me.. it meant for my friend who seek my help to detail his car.. if 30ml can cover his evo10 then i might get it.. if 2 then i might consider OCoat.. Thanks master

shouldn't be too hasty on the replacement, old engines parts like distributor may get wonky upon some water that managed to seep through the seals, but once they are dry, they just continue working.

and as per my previous pictures, i seriously didn't bother covering up the distributor.
if it f***s up, i just wait longer/manually dry it (dismantling the unit etc)

i've done engine washing with pretty much same methods on the kancil/iswara/nissan sentra
