see if Osren still got clay cloths

considering the price, 1 more product to ignore lol

naw pretty dead. water sticks lol

basic steps: rough paint/fresh paint from oven or repainting > sanding > compounding > polishing (and maybe glazing)
even sanding you aware that there's lower grit to higher grit sanding right? (not just car application)

light haze/marring etc from compounding.

that's why we advised to use ultimate polish lol
so... you'll have to close an eye as you've sealed in that imperfection lo
if able to mask/masquerade as you said, then good la, either the coating has fillers, and/or the viscosity is thin enough to just fill itself in the imperfections.
(reminds me of my 3M headlight coating process!)

yes you are correct that UC is indeed rougher grit.

since coating done ady, just maintain it until coating wears off

wow lol

yeah good for us that dont have a free panel like that and so many products/money and time.

the video was from another forumer la... StevenL

yeah 2 months for their top of the line graphene with such high price tag... very disappointing

np np

im really hoping to see durability tests on the new turtlewax 10 in 1 paste wax though
and/or perhaps a liquid version so i can easily use with my Rupes.

not for me bro

hate it when the lowyat forum like button doesn't work!
nice results bro

to answer your question, look towards products from Sonax, they don't care about beading at all.

parallel imported i assume? never heard of IGL until that video LOL

yeah i was harping about that a lot as i gotten active again in this thread.
BSD was about RM60-90 only LOL

their stupid new distributor lo... sigh mention them also heartache je

anyways!

after beading die, sheeting remains.

god that's a very durable looking paste wax! LOL

not at all

wa i still got like 5 wax/sealant leh lol

The DodoJuice it'll supposedly replace is still like... 60-70% :/
i even have my ancient turtle wax hardshell paste wax (last i checked few years ago, surprisingly the oil haven't dry up) that's from 2010 or 2011?

i think yes you can layer on top of coating

and i also think yes, it may be potentially be better than ceramic coating
that wax itself also contain ceramic and graphene.
the way i see it, it's just a "wax" in name, more towards being a sealant, in paste form.

sigh this state border controls... multiple homes/places for storage was a supposed to be a convenience suddenly becomes inaccessible lol :x

i've always been tempted to get a blower now you're just poisoning me LOL

It was raining during our birthday dinner with wife. As I went out to re park the car, couldn't help but noticed those pretty beads. Interestingly, front bonnet was completely dry probably from the wax and engine heat.



Last 3 pictures were taken when car was at home and parked. Most of the water was automatically dried up.

Last time the car was washed was during my major detailing on December 2020

Congrats on your new car!

Yeah same here man, that's what holding me off, set up and packing up the pressure washer was already a chore lol!

Btw if let's say the battery of the cordless die, replacement battery packs easily available? Or that time usually just replace whole unit?

I just ordered another one from Lazada birthday sale
Finally finished one Meguiar gold class shampoo in estimated 7+ years time (until plastic also disintegrated needed to migrate the shampoo contents)

It's never going to be the same as original as application timing and condition different. And factoring weathering/wear of the surrounding clear coat vs a fresh applied spot clear coat.

Yeah some color/base coating have another layer like yours.
My Iswara only one metallic silver so base/color coat > coat coat and a rubbing compound.

The base coat term can get confusing as sometimes that could refer to the primer coat.
Car bare metal > galvanizing/anti rust/e coat > primer /base coat > color/top/base coat/main paint > finally a clear coat protection

it could be surface/underneath rust, or badly deformed plastic panels that can easily rip any paint apart from within.

the youtube video did not show it being "ecocoat premier" though, and mentioned it is a pre-production model/prototype.

is that plastic surface textured? if it is, are you willing to level down the entire portion to be smooth?
bear in mind, polishing is not magic. it is merely cutting the entire surface to be at the same smooth level.

if you don't mind, plentiful of polishing products that's able to do the job.
if i may suggest, try just black marker pen/sharpie repaint over, polish a bit, rinse repeat to minimize polishing required + having the black pigmentation embedded in the scratched area so perhaps can reduce the polishing required.
if the white marks are merely the paint transfer from the other surface, then can ignore the black marker part since your polishing would be a more abrasive cleaning step, after they removed it'll be black again.
