Just got Turtlewax Seal n Shine Improved formula for rm72 with free shipping on Shopee. Moving on since osren sio2 and soft 99 fusso spray doesnt works well.
I'm totally disappointed with osren Luminous Coat. Applied using both wet and dry on diff cars and the smoothness and gloss were much below SnS. However beading looks comparable but I don't think it'll be as durable as SnS of 4 mths under exposed sunlight
I'll finish up this bottle and return to SnS next year

Can I use microfiber pad to apply ceramic coat if not, what type of cloth can I buy as extra as the cloth which will come with the coat usually one piece only
I'm afraid one piece will not be suffice to apply the whole car as the coat might dry up on the same cloth?
Doing a little project on an old car
Thanks

1st time using and applying ceramic coating on an old car... Package arrived safely in glass bottle. Lasts 2 years is a bit skeptical for a $50 product. 🤔🤔🤔
I guess the process is: Wash Clay with PG Type 2 Polish with orange pad or microfiber pad IPA cleaning Ceramic coating to be applied Wait for 2-3 days preferably 1 week to cure Topped with some ceramic coating spray ie SnS
What am I missing?

Help! My itchy hands used a 2000 grit to get rid of few scratch lines only to realise I do not have any compound! I don't think polish can take out the haze from wet sanding
What's the best alternative besides expensive Meguiar's UC? BTW I've a purple pad fro Osren just in case to use with compound or not?
Kindly advise

If u have polish, why not try first? 2000 grit is very mild already. At consumer range just about any compound will do for removing 2000 grit. U could consider Osren if on budget.
Thanks Bro for replying...
Being old can't read clearly without glasses and I checked again apparently there's this Osren per pic still in the box though I think it's 7-9 years ady can't recalled exactly hoping it hasn't expired.
First pass with wool on 2nd pic and 2nd pass with the same wool 🤣 using Turtle Polish
Some deep old scratch can't be removed caused by camry reversing into the door 😡
Think this is the best ady, any adv further? Thanks👍

Ceramic Coating done on old car...prety easy, coating flashes fast due to our humid weather. One regret which should have used microfiber pad to polish instead of orange pad 🤔
Update : rain this evening, beads looks tight and tiny😀

TW SnS feels more slick than HCW (I did a 50:50 comparison sometime ago, but hor... the durability of the SnS not worth the premium over the HCW). But haven't compared against Osren HCS/Coatz though.
I absolutely agree and having compared SnS against TLC, it wins hands down

Lol yes. I was sold at the wording
So i ensure a good prep clay and what not. To no avail. I mean few months down its not bad, still maintain the glossiness but beading from rain wise hope can be slicker haha guess i have to top up with other product and use this as sealant
No harm trying and giving local brand a test. Well continue to use until finished lor the TLC. But I'll not buy it again unless there's new product with better comparison against big names
HCS was the first spray coating I've used... my memory was it is kinda easy to apply and buff compared to HCW. But then again, the HCW I got lazy and just spray and pressure washer weekly LOL. Optimum beading.
The Luminous Coat 😉

Keep your finger nails tidy... or can't be avoided I guess do plastic coating should be able to hide it further. Last resort, PPF perhaps.
Did another 4 yrs old car today... Clay, TW Ceramic PW and to be seal with TW SnS tomorrow... This hasn't been polish or wax for 1.5 years at least cos always parked indoor both at work and home. No ceramic coating left to coat this... Maybe later this month if not too lazy
Update : photos updated 7/2/21

hi all, first timer DIY asking for advice here.. I used Meg UComp (by hand with foam applicator) on my car hood/roof (7Y+ car, never polish, first 5Y was parked outdoor).. As shown by the foto, the left side is the 'original' condition, the right side is after compounded.. Im not able to remove the water spot/etch even after 2-3 application. Did I expect too much; or DIY by hand has its limit?
Think you need to do clay and do wet sanding before compounding using DA with wool pad at least for such condition.
Separately noticed I missed out on a spot which I have overlap during the application of glass ceramic coat. It has crystalised as per pic below. I supposed a polish may get rid of it?
