this is bodywork product. Why you need it ? Going to DIY self repair bodywork and paint ? 

Talking about pictures. These are the best i could get out of my camera.

Well, i haven't seen MORE than holograms so i guess that's a consolation.

Yeah, that Maximus guy suggested that compound polish is required (ie. 3 layer polish + 1 layer of wax). Ordinary 2 layers won't cut it anymore because the whole process has been ruined during the polishing procedure. The original detailer offered to fixed it for me but I am afraid of taking my car back to them again. Since they sucked the first time, they most probably sucked the second time and subject my car paint to another abuse by them, is just stupid.

Hmm, how do they measure? Maybe i should ask this Maximus guy to measure it. I know for once they say Honda paints are very soft.

Talking about orange peel. I have several stone chips on my front hood. Very very small. The black pain is already gone revealing a white base but after that disastrous polishing and waxing, one of the chips reveals orange base =(

Is that bad? Do i need to take care of it?

Hi sifus,

i plan to get an affordable DA or polisher. Any recommendation? Any chance to get <RM500?

Ps: i am a totally new in doing this, previously done waxing use hand only.

@windskill, will this Ultramate DA from Osren be enough for light scratches & swirls? can i use my LC pads that i used for my rotary?

Btw, those DA units that can be attach to a driller by meguiar, does those help, if I'm on a tight budget?

thanks in advance.

Hi all sifu,

I got my car 3 weeks ago from Toyota. I've done one session of wax since then. Today, I discover some swirls on my car hood and trunk surface. May I know how can I remove these swirls and any other way to prevent more swirls in the future?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Hi everybody!

I need some help with cleaning gunk on my car.

The gunk: tree-sap from my neighbour's mango tree. The tree's branches have grown over to my house, where I park in front of my gate.

While the guys that wash my car every two weeks can only remove the build up of the gunk, there is still stubborn residue. And I've noticed what looks like rust from where the old stains are!! eeek!!!

I'm guessing I'll need to get the whole car polished in order to remove the stains. Was wondering if it will affect the paint job as my car is only 5 months old (MyVi in Cosmic Gold).

Any and all suggestions are very much appreciated. Thankyou! 

Vinegar only works in light watermarks? Omg.... Damn it.

sifu skalian, wana find out what is the best way ( or use wht product ) to clean the dark stain from plastic trims flowing down on the paint surface, very obvious on white car, normal car shampoo can't easily remove it. thx.

To me the shine/gloss is good, but looks depends on personal perspectives but I like it. Still like the looks of traditional wax better tho.....

Not sure which detailing centre uses the 22ple, maybe somebody else can chip in on that. I DIY my own cars and bought the product frm SG...a few years back it cost me close to rm350 for a 30ml bottle.

Again...very subjective and depending on how well your maintenance regime is. On my personal car, I think it's still there (still shows signs of good beadings) on the top parts of vertical panels and also the front bumper after 3 years. The horizontal panels are dead (beadings still there but veryt weak/flat) at around 2 years after application.

HI

All.you guys seems.to be interested.in detailing. Anyone doing as a profession including coating?

For claying process, can we use Meguiar's Gold Class™ Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner + water as lubricant?

Or must we use Meguair's Quik Detailer?

Hi

If i want to remove minor swirls on my own, what product is easy to use without using machine.

Planning to
wash - clay towel - hand polish  without machine -  sealant and wax

Also whats the best wet like wax?

Have yet to try it but I wonder if the "wax" is enough to make my car shiny? lol

Guess if I wanna make my car have that kind of polished look, I gotta get some proper wax I guess

Any suggestions?

Called Gzox and they quoted rm350 and will require about 5hours.
Another one is Hovenclean whereby they will actually come to your house. They actually spray some chemical and will suck put the water. Price is 250.
Anyone tried before?

Sorry typo..suck out the water..they will basically spray some chemical, followed by brushing and final step they will suck out the substance with a machine which looks like a vacum cleaner to me..maybe the correct term for it is extractor

Maybe later on.

Just now wash+ wax my car by hand. Oh god it was so tiring

Do you guys use water mark remove chemicals or just use a good wax will do?
