QUOTE(celciuz @ Oct 24 2017, 11:47 AM) I usually "flatten" it with both palms when squeezing out the water from the foam though, but earlier I was folding it into half to press the water on... maybe that's why? You should just spin it using your polishing machine, and then let it dry. Squeeze is fine, but dont fold or twist it |

QUOTE(Maxieos @ Nov 8 2017, 06:21 PM) It still doesn't prevent from rain water and dirt. I hv one from brothers, its double layer with fiber padding. I think it was RM100++Wanted to know between quality on car cover , some mention the plastic will stick on the car and some doesn't but I don't know which brand will be a better quality. Lazada has couple of them as well. Check them out |

QUOTE(blurcase @ Nov 9 2017, 03:02 PM) Agree on that point. Daily drivers pickup stuff on the road regularly, so to cover at end of day and reopen again creates potential for the loose dirt to scratch paint when placing cover on and removing. Totally! if its a daily driving car, i wont close it with a cover. It also contaminates the cover with dirt and bound to sketch your car at some point |

QUOTE(shaniandras2787 @ Nov 22 2017, 06:34 PM) Yeap, this is the Accord's steering but this doesn't look like scratches though, it look something like stains but it is not and i can be sure about this because i am very very particular with mess on my hand so I always clean my hand properly before gripping the steering wheel. did you try leather cleaner?No matter what I do, it doesn't seem to go away. Reminds me of something "dried up" -.- |

QUOTE(PeeEl @ Dec 4 2017, 08:52 PM) Thanks. Nothing of that sort. Just that my car never had any detailing done before. Thought may be a good time to do it. BTW, what would be a fair price to pay for a simple spruce up? not sure of market pricing; i think you could start a surveying from garage sales section.But ensure, they clay, polish and wax. Number of coating depending on the pricing, I guess. |

QUOTE(douglas_tong @ Dec 11 2017, 12:14 AM) Seeking opinion with fellow enthusiasts and detailers here. Hmmm it depends on, the area you live i, I guess. Mine is a portable Black&Decker PW1350 1400wBeen contemplating to get a pressure washer for some time, had been using my friend's and now he wants it back The one im getting would be an induction motor based with hose reel. So it will heavy an dimpractical to store in inside and drag it out everytime i wash my car. Question: Do you leave your pressure washer outside your house - porch? if no, what do you think chances of it getting stolen? Would you share the same concern if you owned one? ![]() |

QUOTE(douglas_tong @ Dec 11 2017, 01:35 AM) I've been using k2 (friend's) for 2 years. lol...dare not keep it out....so its in my store room, I dont use it every wash, probably like once in a month or whenever I drive some muddy terrain.I like it in a sense that I have more confidence that loose soil are removed thoroughly compared to garden hose. Also on rims when I'm feeling lazy I'll just use brake dust cleaner and pressure wash it. But I hate that I have to drag it up and down before and during wash. That 5 meter isn't long enough to cover all sides of my car. Do you keep it in? Or leave it out? My garden hose is plugged onto the pressure jet, so it can go up to 30m |

QUOTE(celciuz @ Dec 17 2017, 07:21 PM) If plastic with chrome finish... cannot do anything about it? I think its most likely plastic chrome finish :S. as I mention earlier, try the cleaner wax, it has always worked for me, for my chrome plastics trims.No harm in trying on yours, cleaner wax (i user meguiars) is gentle on plastics, abs, alike |
