Agree with g88 on this. This bucket commonly get when ppl doing renovation, they buy paint and comes in this type of bucket. If u have friends or relatives that are renovating house, then can ask them.

Only issue is cleaning all the residue, but otherwise its free. However, if the bucket was used to mix cement, then my advice is dont take, because cement usually harden in the bucket.

Actually, cement residue can be easily removed from plastic containers.

I have couple of them, and you are right, those are left over from my home painting job

Good to know. Mind sharing how its done?

cement and paint doesnt stick well on plastic, so I just soak it on water and then dry it on hot sun, an use a scrapper to clean it.

here are some...cleaned, in the process and some are yet to clean



for stubborn ones (cement), i have used water jet and/or vinegar / acid

so hardcore in cleaning them hahahaha...sound like going to boom them

hahaha...from young I like to DIY, so pretty much everything thats possible at home (plumbing, aircon service, painting, wiring (just installed a two 6 + 6 ft lightning rod, car minor repair, etc)

Its fun, but just takes a long long time to complete the chores, hence my house is always messy! sigh!

Hi all, am considering buying this 14-step auto detailing package for RM88 from Fave, is it recommended?

https://myfave.com/kuala-lumpur/wax-perfect...d-claying-40088

Or should I get the 17-step package for RM128 instead? Difference being sealant, door panel protective treatment and body wax coating.

Mmm, not bashing the service provider, but those things that is written “cleaning” and vacuum I would suspect is actually part of a typical car wash procedure, so advertising them as though they are separate are kinda marketing gimmick more than actual value to me. Perhaps only the clay/polish/wax and nano mist carries more value beyond a typical car wash.

Personal opinion, maybe u can go to their shop and see their service quality before committing to these packages.

both are definitely big NO NO for detailing enthusiast BUT if you are someone that don't DIY and always sent outside, than its ok

How to remove these? Megs gold class shampoo won't be able to remove it. Too lazy to prep the surface and polish it

the usual. TRY clay else next is polish.

Dishwasher liquid cannot? I recall it can remove some black residue right

your case is not 'residue'. look more like acidic etched to the paintwork

Hi guys, cny has passed and i think it is about time we should move forward with the "teh tarik" session.

I have managed to convince Henry to allow us to use some space in his detailing hall to support the almost forgotten community in low yat forum. LOL. So good news! He agreed to let us use his hall, tools, products, bonnets and product for our sharing/teh tarik session.

We won't be restricted in whatsoever way except the time agreed upon. We are free to do whatever we like during the allocated time slot. (of course keeping everything in tact)

I suggest we use this opportunity to share our knowledge, especially forumites that are keen in detailing or wanting to discover different ideas.

here are some details we can run during the session:

Topics on: Washing tricks and tips, polishing with da/rotary, troubleshoot tryouts, testing of various products.

depending on who would be keen in joining, we will plan on the topics as we progress. So if most attending would like to know more about polishing techniques or to even try out, we will focus on that. Alternatively, feel free to suggest on what subject should be covered. Everyone can share.

We will also have to decide a time and date. I suggest :

24th of March 2018 (sat) or 7th of April 22018 (sat)

Let me know what you guys think

Are you Douglas from the detailing clinic on Saturday?

Just to clarify, Henry is Osren. During teh tarik session are we allowed to talk about other brands products?

Yes.

Yes. Boleh. This is a private event, OSREN is loaning place to us at no cost. Which also means we run our own programmes from ground zero.
Unless you guys decide to yam char only I guess no need to use the detailing bay.
Then again, where is the fun when we don't get to share through demonstration haha!

TT is back

Only back if there are enough participants and if we can agree on a date hehe

24/3/2018 - Douglas

7/4/2018 -

Cool. Just wanted to clarify since its Osren place, wouldnt be nice to be raising competitor products in their premise. I am okay with either date.

A few topics I can think of demo and discussion:

1) Machine polishing techniques. Think alot of guys watch videos always see polishing done on horizontal panels like bonnet/boot, but equal challenges comes from vertical panels.

2) “Cheat sheets” in detailing. Think everyone pretty much know some of the best practices always preached by pros, but behind the scenes there are always corners we cut and it didnt kill our car.

3) Interior detailing. Probably the most underemphasized topic in detailing.

4) All the non-metal exterior detailing, example plastic trim, windshield, rims and tyres.

Just a few suggestions. Feel free to add more.
