Just slow down on edges. These days polishing products are not as aggressive as what it was back then.

Even leaving on a same spot wouldn't burn that easily...but why would anyone do that?

Personally I think this stigma have made people turn away from rotary. It is a favorite tool of mine and I do recommend it.
But not as a first tool. Stick with da for your first tool

Carrying a polisher on hand is better than work out in gym.

The vibration and movement ensure better muscle tearing and endurance. Lol.....

Go gym pay money. Detail cars can make money.

?
What is the subject here?

Cause my talk is based on my experience that formed my opinion. Talk is easy, but accounted too. So your point being? Just trying to process and understand

51 i tape...
means better to tape.

yes, factor uv coating. overtime it will turn yellowish and blurry.

Foamer

I use a foam lance which is attached to a pressure washer. Personally i seldom use it. Don't find the need, and also cause lazy to take the pressure washer out la.
if the car isn't filthy, i wouldn't even wash it with pressure washer. Unless it is with mud..then i would feel safer foaming the car first. (banyak kerja)

I do weekly washes, so direct garden hose spray down and 2 bucket wash.

If you wanna have fun and play foam and bubbles...yes, it is thrilling to foam the car hahaha

Mine is almost a year. Haven't use it for months now cause lazy. Agree on the garden foamer being more convenient, but both produce different foams. The Lance would create longer lasting foams while the direct hose would be more dilutedz hence doesn't last on body that long.

I remember watching on YouTube that you have to clear the foam mesh after using. Just detach the bottle while having the head still attached and trigger the pressure washer for several seconds.

Also mjjc karcher package provides different parts for the appropriate pressure. I remember something is smaller and one part is bigger I exchanged the smaller part because it was the appropriate one for my karcher k2

I have it. I like it too. Very hard to leave streaking marks with this.
And smells pleasant too. I only use it for the interior part.

osren is currently having promotion for da polishers.
with complementary products and pads.
Promotion

It's common for coated cars to be etched with watermarks.
Usually there is some dedicated water mark removal in liquid form, you may opt for those.
Rubbing it won't do.

i recommend 15mm orbit as a first da. Gives more correction power + shorter working time because of larger coverage.
subsequently, you can get the 8mm. Thereafter, you can join 90% of us in dreaming of having ibrid nano.

Heck i dont even have a 8mm

On waxng. I just read this news that in Brazil, many are treated inhumanely to produce the high demand for carnuaba wax.

Hi welcome!

On the rain marks, those are water spots which the minerals are baked into the paint. To remove, you will probably need to do some polishing, alternatively you may opt for watermark removal in liquid form. Just make sure it is not the acidic type. those are the stronger ones.

To prevent, wash your car more often. weekly is a good routine, if rain a lot, wash more often lol.

Most waxes will repel water effectively, thanks to its hydrophobic properties. Get a wax you are comfortable with and just apply.

Sponge is worst.
Use pressure washer to remove as many loose dirt as possible. If you don't have one, get your hose and create as much focused pressure you can achieve and hose it off.

Then wash it with a proper wash mitt. (Microfiber/wool)

Look up 2 bucket wash method and prevent cross contamination during wash.

Clay = 1 layer
Compound = 1 layer
Polish = 1 layer
Tar removal = 1 layer
.....
....
Coating = 1 layer

That is how they play it afaik.

In my opinion, "layering" coating is redundant. It is meant to bond to paint, not on top of each other.

Hmm most of us here diy-ers.
I rather buy a polisher and coating diy hahahaha

wah careful. Petrol does harm our clearcoat is left for too long.
Which is also why we shouldn't use petrol to remove tars.

To prevent, i usually make sure it is not dripping by lightly shaking (extremely light, without knocking the edges of the entry) and slowly removing it.

Why not just use an old m/f and have it between the nozzle and the paint?

I used to have onr and some m/f inside as well.
But seldom need it so never restock anymore hahaha

wah niagara falls....us would have invaded you LOL!
Shouldn't happen, maybe you should change pump station?

Do you have a pressure washer? If yes go for foam Lance.
Locally active trading star and osren is carrying it.

Was wondering if anyone is interested in tt(teh tarik) session?

Meet up and exchange ideas and techniques on detailing
