QUOTE(woodentiger86 @ Apr 24 2020, 04:02 PM) Nice beads bro! Most cars I observed water will stick to surface in heavy downpour, similar applies to windscreen I always sit other people's car and admire their driving skill on rain as the rain water sticking on their windscreen yielding poor visibility...I think a lot of us here share the same tendency. Each time raining either will go to the windows/balcony area and look at water beading off the cars. |

QUOTE(woodentiger86 @ Jun 5 2020, 04:50 PM) Just to share my pride and joy: Walao apa ni? Thailand ada myvi ke? Bukan Toyota Passo?![]() I know bro V429 asked how I maintained my ride with all those stickers around...The answer is - I tend to avoid rubbing or wiping those areas vigorously in case those decals, especially those texts becomes frayed or starts peeling. And oh, cannot simply spray any chemical on it otherwise the colour fades... Glaco especially. So i just apply along the glass area trying to be as careful when I buff them off. So far, all's good. Usually when those decals start to age/fade/peel, I will replace it with new ones. I know it does seem rather ah beng of me to do up this way - rather think of it as striking out in a sea of ubiquitous rides since Myvis are practically everywhere. |

QUOTE(celciuz @ Feb 24 2021, 05:39 PM) Probably going to sacrifice quite a bit of clear coat there, best if done by the paint job. If you paid a premium for this job... better just screw kao the fella. Just curious, this kind of defect is it because they didn't use fine sanding after the coarse sanding? |

QUOTE(GuyM @ Mar 8 2021, 09:41 PM) Just finished compound with Meg UC... Damned I'm impressed with microfiber paired with UC. Made 2 pass but haven't polish yet... 1st pic bonnet and 2nd pic roof You use hand applicator or polishing rotor? I bought Meg UC 1 year ago but still unused, going to compound polish the car this week then reapply the ceramic coating. Been 1 year didn't care the car so much, scratches (cats loves climbing my car sleep) and water mark everywhere. |

Ya, Meg UC hand application the only thing I could do, well I hope it able to remove the faded ceramic coating beneath. Tried hand application using Soft99 Metaclean last year, it was hard but still manageable, spent 3 days' evening just to remove the old coating, when buff off can see the "coating dust".

QUOTE(woodentiger86 @ Mar 11 2021, 04:23 PM) It beads but not so tight and 'round' like a freshly beaded car, especially the 2nd pic. Will use the Mirror Gloss Sealant for next week's wash, later will just do simple hose down and wipe dry wash, cheap car don't want spend so much effort... This weekend will spend more effort on another car doing Meg UC, decon wash, then apply coating (targeting 2 layers).Probably give it a wash and spray one layer of wax? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Bro, is your Mirror Gloss Sealant is available unused?
