Hey guys, gt some questions to ask.
I saw some paint chip and rust spots on my hood.
Can I polish away the rust and do touch up on it?
can I use wd40 to remove tar?

I think dun polish the rust. Will cause ur car paint problem. Why not try WD40 first and get some fine sand paper to rub only do touch up? If it's alot then just straight go spray the whole thing more worth the headache.

i'm not really dare to sand my car, if plastic model i'm still ok with it. haha...
2000 grid sand paper ok?

Hi buddy
it is normal

your car paint contain of

metal body - primer paint- colour paint - lastly protected by clear coat....

now the scratch is so hard - it cut through the clear, then paint then primer - and the car body oxidise - aka look rust

simplest was to solve - get thinner (you have nail polish remover???? mum ....girl friend......

then use their clear lacquer or vanish  and touch up......
once you buy touch up paint ...then you remove the laquer or nail varnish by vanish remover or thinner

once it removed the clear and touch up......with the paint

"less is more
agree
polish can remove rust and paint imperfection but problem they have a film of oil or wax...so you can paint on it immediately ...need IPA (isophrophy alcohol) or thinner

no need WD 40 this is not joint or have gears...the oil film is temporary and it will stick dust and your paint will not stick

try nail varnish...cover the exposed area

no need sand paper you are not going into a major repainting or putty....

If use alcohol rather than thinner can ar? Alcohol I gt a lot tongue.gif

Hi yshiuan
mind to share some pics, I am not sure which picture you referring to ?

all other forumer also can chip in flex.gif

Im referring to the windshield u just posted.
I normally clean my car at night (night only im free), so no pic from me at the moment.
Later gt chance i will post some pics.

driving with a clean and coated windshield is very siok when u see the rain just fly away during rain.
I tried driving at 100kph in pretty heavy rain with no wiper on, and still hv the visibility brows.gif

Can any1 advice me on how can i remove these birds dropping on my car? Always park my car indoor n clean it nicely but this shit happened just last sunday when i go for outdoor activities n forced to park outdoor. Feels really upset as i cant remove the stains n it bcome few yellow spots on my 1 n half mths car hood, not dare to imagine wat happened on the car roof.

My phone cant capture the yellow spots clearly bcos my car is in white color, hence googled up this picture. It looks the same but after i wipe it the yellow spots is like blend into the paint, no matter how i just cant remove it. cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

Just sharing. With proper product applied such as Rain X or Windscreen coat, even 60km/h can see the rain flying off already.

I was only 80km/h on highway, no wiper needed.

I can only see rain fly off at 70 and above. laugh.gif
at 60kph the water droplet wont go anywhere

you need to polish the windscreen, with a machine. Hand only is not enough.

You may try Osren.

I plan do it myself le, plus can burn some calories tongue.gif
Osren do sell their product to normal consumers?

first impression with Soft99 Meta Clean, i dun think it is a wax, it is a polish.
it can remove scratches just by 1 pass. tried on my door handle area, usually got a lot of scratches, but Meta clean manage to remove the scratches.
I will see how it manages the water marks on my hood.

just finish 1 door, my arm damn tired.
