havent decided yet.

but if pricing an issue, just DIY.
very simple: assuming you're at a professional level, and mastered detailing. you take how many hours needed, then multiply on how much you earn per hour from your day job.

see if that rm688 made sense then tongue.gif

again, there are renowned detailing shops even in malaysia, that charges well over 3k for JUST a car wash.
wash only, no wax no polish no thing. just wash.

Again, facing this swirly marks on my black car. It's after waxing. Is it because I didn't thoroughly wipe off excess wax or ? sad.gif

And the wax dried off already, so rubbing in with pressure also don't take away those "swirls".

Very annoying because it's quite apparent on a black car and probably not with lighter colours.

polish.

and look up guides/videos on how you maintain your car so you don't create more swirls.
while one cannot prevent swirl marks from happening entirely, you can at least reduce them so polishing work required is minimized.

additionally theres also masking or glaze/fillers, where you hide the swirls smile.gif

again, those magic 101 products, or lesser/cheaper products, they are cheap for a reason.
they aren't as user friendly, and by that, at a worst case scenario is that they will induce more damage (eg: swirls).

ultimately, and as a general "rule" that is applicable in most situations - you get what you pay for.

I think it's excess wax leh, cuz last time when I waxed my car, I could still rub it off. But this time round I think it's too dried off, can't do anything liao. It happens only after I wax.

Or maybe the way I wax and clean/dry is wrong sad.gif

Hey, I'll get you a pic soon. Also noticed some scratches here and there, it could be time to polish it sad.gif

when you tried to rub it off you caused the swirls?

or the swirls was there in the first place and you didnt polish it, waxing hidden the swirls for a while and when you rewax you faced this issue, and while cleaning it off you revealed them?

no need picture.

just polish them off as required, no other way around it.
and when applying wax, follow instruction, and use only thin amounts.

remember: after buffing off wax you'll only be left with micron level of thickness. everything else is excess/waste.

Actually I can rub off the "swirls", maybe the shape isn't a swirl lah.. I could do it last time with some cheapo MEZX Wax..

But this time round, I was just using Meguiar Carnauba Quik Wax, can't rub it off.

I think I did spray excessively hmm.gif Will try to use less next time smile.gif

now, i am going to assume it's "thorough".

and assuming so, how thorough you want to be? herculean strength? until your body panel dents in? read back product instructions and follow.
if still come out bad, go call/email meguiar for selling bullshit product and threaten that you'll sue them. USA ma.
