I nearly bought a gallon of OCW to try. It was that time that I found out I still have 2 gals of Meg Xpress hidden beneath the boxes.  sweat.gif

Personal experience is to use Meguiars compound directly with machine to buff off all the watermarks on glass.

If using ultimate polish cant remove? U using uc with polish pad or comp pad

With normal Bosch polish pad on modded Black & Decker entry polisher only, you can try ultimate polish but the compound saves time and gives instant result as mine are those super etched water marks that were there for few years.

Those high ph acid/alkaline chemical for watermark removal doesnt even work.

Seen like ur windshield condition is really bad

QUOTE(newbiz2008 @ Aug 29 2017, 01:18 PM)
Bro appreciate you can help on my question.
You use which product to clean and polish the windscreen?

Can use hand only to polish?
My windscreen still have other brand coating leftover how to remove?
*
Previously im using soft99 glass cleaner to polish, it work for me as my car is new car , not sure those heavy water mark and stain will work or not, maybe u can try autoglym as gfwong mention that it work better than any other product in market

Tried the glass refresh on my 2014 car, need do several pass and still not completely clean. Damn tired with using hand  sweat.gif gonna drop by Osren this Saturday let them see the car for recommendations since I'm going to buy other items from them too. Time to venture into car detailing...

I feel it more effective to polish with dry glass, mean must drying the glass only clean it , yes habd very sour and tired ,invest a machine will help ur job done faster , easily and more effective

QUOTE(gfwong @ Aug 30 2017, 08:35 AM)
AG not really that great but does the job decently. I've tried to Soft99 glass refresh and I am quite impressed. It's able to remove most watermarks by hand. As what @blurcase mentioned, glass polish with cerium oxide might be better. How about trying Ceriglass from CarPro?
*
Yup, the soft99 glass refresh really not bad for the price, now detailing wanna find cheap, nice and great

Thanks for the tips!

Yeah got to admit the towel tip you gave is hard to follow sad.gif Especially when drying up after a car wash... oh I miss using chamois =/ a bit regret buying the larger drying towel from Osren, should have went with the standard size instead.
*
Im using 3 towel to dry my car

Fireball medium size drying towel for large panel

Osren waffle towel for dry lower part such as bumper , because those area sometime u cant really very clean it so don wan waste my exp fireball towel and get dirt

Osren yellow microfiber or any microfiber towel will do, dry the door jam, door step and rear bonnet

So total got 3 towel

Only fireball towel i use hand wash, just wash with plain water will do, and i just agak2 press out the water, then dry , most of time need 2 day only can dry whole towel as fireball towel really very absorb water

How much does these 3" or smaller polishers goes for? Any recommendations I should be looking at? All I see so far are the branded ones like Rupes... don't have any china copy around?

Btw by hand... means using cloth right? or those foam applicator pad? If polishing... the applicator pad to polish?
*
I buy shinemate 3inch DA around rm600++ with pad, if without pad should be around rm500++

3mm DA is a must have, very convenience, civic all bumper can be polish

I was googling around, this few models always popping up is the Rupes Mini, GG3 and Flex PE08. Haven't come across the Shinemate and think would be good to look at that instead since those brands that always appear are the expensive originals haha...
May I know which model is it? And got it locally or ordered from online?

Sigh, I was trying to polish using the Osren DAP8... can't get the edges or the bumper ._. too big already, so thinking to grab a smaller DA/Rotary.
*
Shinemate only have 1 model of 3mm DA , u can contact this guys and he will send u whole range and price , he can ship to any place within malaysia hehe , so far the machin work very well

What color is your claybar? Green?

Clay is meant to remove above surface. Below imsurface will require polishing. As long as the surface is smoonth upon touch, it is ready for polishing.

Osren green claybar , seen like really need to polish , nvm leave it to next year , dont want to polish every 6 month that crazy haha , wanna make it 1 to 2 year hehe

Car looking great! Actually if just small spot and seems annoying to u, then just just put a drop of polish on microfiber towel and polish the spot off. Else can collect more then one time do all. smile.gif

QUOTE(slk @ Feb 17 2018, 10:22 PM)
looking guudd... those dots are maybe tar spots.

why not give it a AIO. You will be surprised on how much dirt/grime has accumulated even when you wash frequently.
*
Thank both sifu , u two really teach me alot !!! Always keep in my mind what both of u guide me , that the reason the good stil look great hehe


I wanna collect more scratch and dot , next year polish whole car , because i thinking polish every 6 month seen overkill with machine , sifu blurcase i do use tiny dot of polish and mf, but some of spot become more clean and some spot look more dirt zzzzz, end up i just forgot about it and continue to wax whole car

Slk , i dont have any AIO at the moment , maybe after i finish up ultimate polish only i try hunt for AIO , but i think hardly to finish the UP if i repolish every 1 or 2 year , i do try polish with mf small spot , susprisely it extreme clean at the spot only, lucky i try at lower part haha

I polish at least 3 times per year, usually more. No issue one...clear coat not made of taufu.

Either with an aio to clean paintwork up or with a mild polish to correct some swirls from washing. Usually 3 months once I will aio when it becomes dull
*
Wow , 3 time per year , that really much eh , wanna clay + wax pun i feel tired le , u stil can polish 3 time biggrin.gif , maybe i really need to get AIO


QUOTE(N33d @ Feb 20 2018, 09:57 AM)
bro long time no see
happy cny
your car looking great as usual

having an AIO by your side is very useful and more efficient when come to maintaining a daily driver than let say, compound+polish combo
unless having a black car and/or need the gloss that standalone polish like UP could give
else, i really like the 2-step(Polish+wax) into 1 step convenience that AIO could give while still having the paint condition that 90% of the people could not tell whether I used AIO or polish+compound combo with naked eyes
*
hey bro n33d , happy cny !!! how you recently , maybe need to look for AIO already , recently i already LOOK OPEN , some swirl and scratch will appear for daily driving car , it's really hard to avoid zero swirl scratch , as long as car look shine and clean then it's good , i plan next time when doing polishing , just go by 3-4 pass , wipe and skip , don't plan like last time so OCD , check the swirl with LED light , as i already know how my car paint work with which polish cream biggrin.gif
