Just a quick update:

Itchy to test out Speed & Barrier spray on a small panel of my bonnet upon reaching office. Car hasn't been washed since Saturday so it's a bit dusty.

Having said that, I sprayed a bit onto the panel and wiped with one towel. Once it dried up, I noticed got streaks. So I took another towel to wipe dry. Aiyo. Was working under poor lighting so can't really see the extent of the unwiped streaks. Haha. Will probably finish off with a damp towel after work.

I did a finger test on the panel though, it's quite smooth.

Havent start open mine

Btw, been wanting to ask this question for some time.

What are the benefits of using those 'expensive' microfibre towels? Not talking about Norwex yea. I mean, there are some selling for like > RM50 for one towel...

Meg's Water Magnet at RM78 or so I think will ignore since it's more of a drying aid.

Just curious whether a more expensive towel will be more effective and better result vs let's say a more affordable alternative like Osren/PG etc which are retailing at < RM25/30 for drying/buffing needs.

Example, CarPro's drying towel selling for RM66 whilst the Mega drying towel from Osren costs about RM16. And I noticed Osren has a new drying towel - Ultra... RM68... 

Too cheap I tend to use it for interiors/lower half of the cars and I tend to use older towels for rims cleaning & engine bay.

Anybody here have experiences with clay cloth/towels?

Myself using Osren's Clay Cloth and so far been working reasonably well.

Just came across this on Carpro's page:



Looks like a clay cloth too... Anyone tried before?

Eih, Osren have a new drying towel similar looking design to the above.

But what we are curious is are there significant difference in performance for the branded MF? Is it a noticeable difference or about the same?

Wow, the Duffy towel costs GBP 8.95 but the shipping...



Cannot la... GG lo.

Might as well source for other alternatives that's not so painful to the wallet.

You mean this Osren Ultra ? Ultra

Its this a good buy a ? i been using the Mega towel for my drying i usually need 2 pcs which is completely dry in order to dry just 1 car. 

Was browsing thru Osren's website and just curious what's the diff between their 3 tyre shine products:

Tyre Shine HV
Tyre Shine LV
Reblack

Most of the bros here mentioned Reblack though...

My osren MF towel collections

Side note, this RM68 ultra towel.. I wonder how does it compare against my Fireball Black Fox Twist Drying Towel.

Really start off with Meg's items. Hardcore fan ah..

Yea bro, Had the car wash the 3rd time since applied Osren coat before now waiting the coat to peel off by itself then only replace with TW Seal and Shine

Ok, visited Ace Hardware at Starling just now...

So, I first stumbled across LED lights:

RM166... Cash and carry right away looks tempting vs getting it cheaper online.

too hardcore ni ...    

Wah lau, Meg's containers also! Haha. Must be nice to start off somewhere. Amboi, look at all those sprayer bottles!! Can open shop or detailing workshop already bro! Eh, then you should know bro KC? Or at least heard about him then. I also got into detailing cos of my chance encounter with him back on the old Contilovers forums...

I have bad experience and learnt the hard way. Got once I itchy use those scouring pads type sponge + dish detergent to scrub certain areas of my wife's previous car... end up for those uneven patches or faded look on the parts I scrubbed. Really painful lesson bro. Those were the days before I was schooled to use proper products like mf towels, pads etc. Paiseh man.

something to strip away those old sealant/wax on your cars
likely will be IPA wipes

but i heard alot of method like using dishsoap or fab powders ..

Interesting - thanks for sharing bro.

Lazada selling the M6000 for RM30...

Do detailers rely on wax removal products like these a lot? I mean, does it help a lot for someone like me who keeps changing products to try out [e.g. spray waxes/toppers]? Or just IPA wipedown ought to work well too before I start applying any new product.

Meaning, today my ride already using Fusso Coat F7 for 2 weeks, then itchy wanna try.

So I just apply IPA/Wax Remover...

Then proceed to use new product, like Sonax BSD?

Fuyoh this one certified sifu.

Long time never see the words Makita.

By right in the past rarely can't find detailing thread without Makita being mentioned...

my area got two condo project going on
wipe off in the morning
evening dust on again
have to tolerate few more months before the completions date.

Cool, shall await for the demo video from Osren and also your sharing session for orange peel corrections 

Haha yea. Waiting for that demo video from Osren before deciding to get the denim pad and NAO 56?

Anyways, for those newbies to DA, will it be good for me to tackle OP corrections?

Cos Uncle Heng did say I should familiarise myself more with the DA before proceed to OP...

Shopee page also got some good discounts.

Morning guys, may i know what wheel cleaner do you guys use? Currently using Simple green and Meguiars APC diluted 10:1.

Abit lazy to do brushing, so wanted to know  any other cleaner that are capable to lift the contaminants by just spraying on, and rinsing off with a pressure washer.

Iron remover, degreaser, or just normal wheel cleaner (which i think are APC?)

I think you are right haha. I don't actually keep track of their Shopee page. Prefer to get it straight from HQ (or branch)

By the way, can I ask how would you approach cleaning car fabric seats if don't have an extractor? APC + brush the wipe dry?
