One of the more obvious ones. No it's not scratches. Just excessive coating crystalisation. Can feel the ridges in between if u run through with ur nails.

UPDATE: Used some metal polish and it has definitely helped say 50% of it. And as expected I now have patches of polished/cloudy and unpolished areas. Whats the best product to go with next for restoration??

Hi guys,

Planning to get meguiars' microfiber cutting pads to try it out.
However, my number 1 concern is to actually clean it in between panels. I do not own any air compressor. Any idea how to clean this microfiber pads with other alternatives? Planning to try with my carpro essence coming weekend on my bro's car.

Not wanting to use foam pads since it is a sealant that would definitely get clogged and stuck in foam pads.

Currently have a simplified pad cleaner by filling appropriate level of water with grit guard insert on a bucket. works well for foam pads.

I usually clean the microfiber pad with toothbrush. I would say it works to some extent. Unless you have some caked product left in between the microfiber, then toothbrush seems like not very effective in removing it.

Tried out once using air compressor and it really works like a charm!

You should compound it instead of using metal polish. Sounds a bit too harsh to the paintwork.
To restore it, IMO compounding is the only way to go.

Will try that brush method..thanks for the suggestion
Been researching a little and does seem like microfiber takes way longer to clean compared to foam pads T.T

Hi,

Can anyone please suggest good car shampoo for black metallic paint?

20 liters will cost you less than RM130. Can last for 2/3 years even if you wash everyday.



Osren Bubble & Wax

1:50 dilution rate...how much water do you use for each car wash? I find myself filling about 15 litres for one sedan sized wash...

15 litres = 300ml of solution

Thanks! Where can I get this?

Thanks! No other distributor?

Is it 300ml for 15liter or 30ml?

It's dilution ratio is 50:1
Henry recommended 5 litres and 4 caps full which is around 100ml

I use 300ml for 15 litres.
1-3 litres I reserve for the volume/height taken by grit guard and as my safety reserve just so the grits remains at the bottom and not being scoop by my wash mitt.

Erm I am not too sure. But if you have compressed air it's really fast.

I use around 1.5 gallon of water with "agak2" bubble & wax... say 125ml?

before wash 1 normally foam the car first with DJ iFoam.

I don't foam my car, no foamer. So i rely on more shampoo to encapsulate/emulsify dirts on panels. Especially those sitting panels. squeeze a little shampoo before washing

Inquire opinion here.
My Karcher K5.7 pressure washer (purchased June 2014, RM1400 that time but use credit card point discount to RM1100) got piston faulty and repair fee by Karcher Malaysia needs about RM650, replacement part only warranty for 3 months.
If I trade in this faulty K5.7 with K.M. and purchase a new P.W., currently K5 Premium is RM1700, after trade in will be RM1200.
Considering the life span of my old K5.7 only lasted slightly more than 1.5yrs, I am thinking whether an industry P.W. more suitable for my usage level.
K.M. gave me an example an industry HD 5/12C, now selling RM2500, after trade in become RM2050. But my 360deg Vario Power Jet Lance (short), a separate accessory I bought myself, and my foam cannon will be unusable because the connection is different.
So, my friends, what do you think?
Worth the RM650 repair? or more worthy to get a new unit, if so, home machine or industry machine?
Anyone here used industry Karcher P.W. before?
