try to change to a new side of the towel after a few panels.

Normally i soak overnight with liquid Dynamo.... brush.... rinse with water then final rinse with weak solution of water+vinegar to remove the soap residue/ making it plusher.

If you are willing to spend more... can get something like this

Agree with slk on the use of towel and washing method.

To add to that, if you are getting alot of wax residue to buff out, that means u could be applying your wax too thick. Try apply thinner coat instead.

Also, it would be good to have more than 1 buffing towel so that the same towel doesnt get overloaded with wax residue.

Thanks for the tips. I guess I really put too much wax.(the more the better mentality.)

Buffing off the wax is really a pain in the ass. It takes me almost 2 hours to wax and buff off the wax, and the whole car is covered with wax dust.

This tompok-tompok black can be solve by tar remover or need polish ? Its all at hood,spoiler,roof...so sad

Heh? Wax leave wax dusts? Which product did you use?

This cheapo Turtlewax.

What are the chances of super fine #0000 steel wool scratching the windshield? Can it remove water streaks also or just chips/dirt?

Try tar remover first. Polish only if tar remover fails.


Whatever wax to use should be applied as thinly as possible. Thicker wax application causes 2 major issues:

1) Buffing off alot of residue becomes very very time consuming task and cloth becomes overloaded with residue quickly requiring you to constantly flip or change cloth.
2) If your car is very dark or black colour, almost guarantee you will see uneven wax layers, requiring u to continue buffing until it is even, also very painful task.

In my personal opinion and experience, applying thicker wax doesnt mean it lasts longer than thin wax. Maybe you can experiment with 2 thin layers and see which lasts longer.

okay maybe no related to car detailing, any way to get rid of roaches inside the car?

3 months only never eaten inside the car hmmm...

I want get bosch gex 125 ae 125mm size. I had meg ultimate compound.

My question, is there anything i need to add or have to start polish ? And what size of pad i can use ? Do i need to buy only 125mm pads ?

search for cuci seat kereta in facebook. They will come to your house and very affordable.

erm better get a proper DA. The bosch is good for applying wax/sealant.

Osren DA

Pads can try the new felt pad from Osren too

Did you see em do the work?
Looks like they didnt do a good job of it..

3 things I tried with my wife car when got infested with baby roaches:

1) Spray Febreeze all over car carpets
2) Spray Mortein insect spray and close all doors
3) Put pandan leaves under all floor mats and boot

So far, never see any roaches come back. Worth to try.

Your first pic looks like either clear coat degraded and flaking off (polish cannot resolve), or calcium material harden by parking in carpark basement and water leak from ceiling hit onto car (need to use chemical to break the calcium material before polishing).

Your second pic scratches looks like too deep, maybe cannot remove with polish or compound anymore. One spot at the bottom section definitely looks like it has paint scratched off dy.

Your third pic water spots can be removed, but just polishing alone wont be enough, usually needs to be compounded.

Maybe u wanna get second detailer opinion.

@douglas_tong thanks for your answer.

@slk thanks. anyone know if Meg Malaysia sell the gallon size?
no DA to polish. i will try use normal shampoo with claybar and see how.

it looks like dirt + water to me.. what tompok2 are they?

nope
the problem is exist even before polishing.
i thought it will disappear after polishing.

thanks for the detail explanation
any suggestion to resolve issue #1?
because the spot is kinda new, maybe about two weeks ago?

and for issue #3, what do u mean by compounded?
