Hi guys,

i am new to the forum and have been spending quite some time reading the whole V4 thread. Initially i just wanted to save my 13 years old wira's paint which has been neglected all these years. So i started washing and claying and boy it was the most wonderful feeling claying those rough surface into glass smooth paint and i now am hooked to this feeling although the paint surface now is much cleaner and smooth but there are still visible scratches and chips that i need to work on. So here am i reaching out to your guys to see if anyone is willing to let go their makitas or dewalt So far i've tried the random orbital from Black&Decker but it is not good enough to remove the scratches.

Hi g88,

here is some of the pics.




some of the scratches is hard to capture from my phone camera.

Yes, i wanna try if i can level the paint further and see how it goes. That's why i am looking for 2nd hand rotary buffer.

around rm300-400 for RB,including the backing plate,pads if that's possible

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

So anyone willing to part with their rotaries?

yalor, that's why looking for used makita or dewalt. You know anyone letting go?

i have this already, this is only good for waxing.

i guess is the quick detailer that is used between washes?

i uses dish washer to clean the microfiber cloth. Works for me.

you can start with quality microfiber cloths to begin with. Buy PG car shampoo, clay kit which includes a quick detailer and a clay bar, and any wax or sealant of your choice.

wax is for paint protection and can be used on any color.

i saw Ace Hardware selling. You can try there

i guess it depends on surface preparation, how much car shampoo is used for every wash and how the car is kept everyday.
