Soft99 Fusso Coat on the right is good stuff

I have the similar combo, but am trying to finish up Osren’s glass polish... struggling to remove 😅 I hope the CeriGlass is better.

AIO will clean this easily those watermark at the door panels also can remove easily.

Overnight isn’t watermark, confirmed not etched cause need heat to etch in. Those type definitely Spotless can remove. I haven’t tried Delete.

If those baked watermarks, Spotless can reduce a bit and usually left the edges of each watermark there. Have to polish off.

Does it work? I mean if its stronger than Spotless...?

So likely the Stain-X is stronger acid base... I'm tired of polishing glass ._. rear windscreen and the small triangle I wanna use strong acid base but I tried spotless cannot make it.

CarPro Spotless is acid, at least once I accidentally touched it on the cloth my skin became red and had the hot sensation.



Watermark looked like this, this portion I used the little wool thingy to work it out by hand. When I use machine, the effect not as clean. I suspect maybe I used too little product or I went too fast (not patient enough). Weekend perhaps will try work on the rear windscreen... the front one I give up, sometime in the future I will polish again

On Sunday when I was giving the car a wash and weather looked a little better. Decided to see if I could polish the headlamp without wet sanding,




Took almost forever, first I tried with a cutting pad (Shinemate blue I think) then swapped to microfiber and end up the yellowish slowly come out 😅 PlastX... will arrange another day to wet sand it then polish nicely before I spray samurai 2k clear coat on.

Last time I did on my Myvi the result was quite good, I went with 800 grit to 2000 grit then wool pad and polish pad on the headlamp. But after 2 weeks it started going yellow again cause I didn’t protect it, but then car was sold after that lah.

I did MF pad + Meg's StainX for this round, no wet sanding. But previous car I did wet sanding and the outcome much nicer, back then I used drill rotary to finish

This is why I'm a little skeptical about using clay cloth cause the dirt is going to cause marring. Clay bar can keep changing for new surface so I guess generally safer, but slower due to small surface size.

Yes, use proper lubrication. Expensive way = quick detailer I'm going with the ONR QD dilution spray. I only do claying before I polish though.

Yes, I'm going to spray 2k clear coat to seal it after polish.

Wah the blue doesn't really match eh, or maybe the color isn't dried yet?

Me on the other hand prefers spray type instead now haha! Last time the spray wax doesn't last long, but with the current "Ceramic wax" spray type it is way more durable than before. So just gotta use up my old products then voila can focus on the spray only.

1 month ago I remember claying with ONR as lube then applying the Osren spray SiO2, then today I noticed the amount of marrings 😅 phone can’t capture most of them, but can see the direction all in 1 cause I clay single direction 😅.


This area is a test spot I did few days ago when doing the headlamp 😅 so big diff!


Sunlight also revealed I did a shit job in the windscreen 🤣 but I shall leave it to next round lah. Today perhaps experiment with the rear windscreen 😆

Perhaps will compare between the Osren glass polish against CarPro ceriglass see which is better (before I fully deplete my Osren glass polish).

Rounded them up 😆

The marring and hologram I guess happened when I clay the car previously without polishing I'm always lazy to do detailing cause after all the hardwork, need to clean the tools and all

Other way around, clay to remove contaminants before you polish. Reduces the amount of contaminants sticking to your pad.

Based on your explanation, the mild acid based type should be able to remove eg. CarPro Spotless. My car has black piano finish, that one if I use Spotless able to remove but causes marring to the finish 😅 damn finicky finish.

What I think is... black piano plastic finish, is worse than black paint with clear coat >_<

Fusso coat 12 months definitely last longer, busuk2 have 3 months. This spray Sio2 likely 3-4 weeks at the same condition, but the user experience of the spray SiO2 much better than paste wax. Spray wipe and done.

Soft99 has the luxury gloss or luxury spray wax, but it really don't last uhh. About 1 week max.

I don't remember the SiO2 sprays makes the surface slick like waxes does though, but it beads like crazy lah. If user experience is good, I tend to do it more often = more protection haha!

You might want to consider going straight to Osren SiO2 instead of a wax layer first, the emulsifier might remove the first layer anyways.

When I was first into detailing, I had that dream to keep my car really clean and sparkling... but eventually I came to realize it is not doable for daily driver LOL. So my style for paint work is just 1 compound + 1 polish, if can be removed good. If cannot, next round... don't want to level so much clear coat in a go.

Side note, just ordered the SGCB Detail Polisher... haha wanna try detailing the black piano interior... wife's car gonna be white mice .

Bought my car in July 2017, total did twice compound + polish (2018 and 2019 CNY haha...). The rest is AIO about 6-9 months once .

Detail polisher is a mini rotary that can go to tight spots yes powered by another rotary. I think its easier to go to the tight spots... my car has many black piano plastic finishes interior... especially at my steering many scratches haih.

So MCO period is the time where I go to war against glass watermark, I tried several combinations with my 5" and 3" DA, but didn't get consistent result. This time around I tried with my 3" rotary (well I didn't have a big rotary so the mini lah). Results are much better! But the weather kinda spoilt it, so... evening continue.

Shinemate EP803 + 3" interface pad + Osren glass polish pad + Osren 04a glass polish,

Tape it up


Before


After


I changed to CarPro Rayon Pad + CarPro CeriGlass (cause my Osren product finished ._.) but I'm missing the edges when I proceed with the rest. Dang it! Getting impatient


I will be back... to polish in the evening
