u finding which? Like Chemical guys hexa pad? From Osren not good ?

At the end i go for Clover 15mm DA , with 6 month warranty , i not sure how much is DAP15 or CLover Force DA , because i only want make my budget as low as possible , because osren DAP8 cost me around RM800 include postage and the Clover RM850 include postage , gap between Rm50 should be ok , and hope i happy with my purchase

Not sure why osren saying that , it only leave swirl mark for SOLID White paint honda paint , maybe from their experience they meet that problem ?

u mean i direct apply DA + Ultimate compound without polishing?? Compound won't causing swirl anyway? I thought after compound we need to do Polishing for finishing else will leave halogram and light swirl , correct me if i'm wrong , i also stil learning how to do paint correct , previously only Clay bar , wax


Did u mean Lake Country Force Disc??

currently i got Grey , White , Black , which combo should i go with anyway?

So what combo should i use for my honda paint?


If using Meguiars Polishing + White pad directly polish with 15mm Clover DA won't remove the swirl? I think maybe i try a panel that can remove or not , if it can't , only i go GREY + Meg Compound


Anyway meg compound and polish suit for honda paint?

Ok roger

So when i get my DA, go meg polish with white pad first, if swirl not gone, then direct go grey pad + compound, how actually know it already finishing and dont need to go next step polishing?

If let say after compound the finish is good , polishing is an extra unless step? And if continue polishing wont create more swirl right?


For waxing, just use black pad, spred the wax over pad and use speed 1 and spred all over car? And this wont cause swirl too right?

Actually i already watch all the OSREN video from youtube , also buy torchlight from osren , force disc pad lake country , just dont have a proper DA machine haha , so i already make purchase for the clover 15mm , just have to wait to receive the item


I actually understand the process just they keep telling me honda paint is very different , so that make me abit confuse , i think i really have to try 1 panel , until i get the result , only continue other panel

So far my both car is brand new 2017 model , just when get the car , under lightning it full of swirl , can't tahan to see those swirl So no repaint spot to test


BUT !!! My spoiler is order from Accessory shop , that time when i order they say the spoiler is re-paint one !!! So i believe it's not from factory spray , should i just try to go less agressive first? if not end up my spoiler paint habis polish and paint gone

i actually notice when i watch this video , why honda paint so mafan one haizzz

my white force pad side got abit peel off le , stil can use bro?




So adjust speed 1 = spread over the polisher first , after this only set up speed to 6 and pass like snake pattern up down left right until the polish look thin and clean ? White car very hard to see anyway

We need really clean the pad after each panel? I heard some member say just take off the pad, can wash with car shampoo, after this attach to DA and set speed to 6 to spin let the pad dry ?

Hope the DA isnt that hard to use , previously using BD kp600 so i think it will be work the same just 15mm DA clover will be more heavy and powerful

After done polish, u guys re wash ur car? Or u guys using alcohol to wipe down?

So even after ultimate compound, just buff off with towel and direct apply wax without needed to wash the car to complete remove any polisher?

Use clean water spray the pad, then stick back to DA and open max speed to make it dry?

And a question, let say after 3 month of apply wax, do u guys stil clay b4 waxing? Or direct use the DA attach pad and re-wax , only clay once a year?will witout clay make swirl come back?


And i found this on youtube, this seen better and easy work than clay bar

Actually i have full range of meg ultimate product , the liquiq wax i using so far can tahan around 3 month (not include raining season)

From compound, polish, liquiq wax, spray wax , just b4 this using hand, now wanna try with machine

I wan get machine to wax also to save my time , normally those shop say 3 layer or 5 layer wax, izit after apply wax buff off, they reapply again wax to whole car and wipe off repeat for 5 time? This actually can make wax last more longer? I never try because usinf hand normally i just go 1 pass and wipe with liquiq wax

Very hardly to polish at night, that will make my neighbour angry since the DA so noisy


Because i see from chemical guys video, they normally set speed 1 to spread polisher then up speed 6 to polish, speed 6 too harsh to paint?

Later i send u the pic of my pad

This is how my pad broken, side way, stil can use anyway?

I not sure too, previous polish with black decker kp600, maybe hit something so abit koyak, if using curve panel will cause swirl? Because i buy rm45 just use 2 time only sad T_T

Pad cant dry under sun? Normally u guys wash with warm water? Can i put my pad into washer maching anyway?

okey noted !!! 1 more question , can meg ultimate polish to polish head lamp and tail lamp?

Thank for the explain, then i dont touch my head lamo and tail

but possible to polish then lamp to be swirl free? Because i saw my lamp got swirl mark


Between meg liquiq wax vs soft99 kiwami, which actually give high gloss effect? I personally like meg liquiq wax bcoz it can apply all over surface without any white stain, and its so easy to apply and buff off

I might try the meg head lamp restore out


U are true, when apply soft99 product have to give more caution and more care, while meg ULW just apply where ever u want without problem

oh lucky u tolding me , normally i just using liquiq wax to protect my tail lamp and head lamp , never try those headlight protectant , do they really make diff? because i read other forum mostly they using Meg ultimate liquiq wax for all surface of car to protect

So if the head lamp isnt touch b4, original head lamp, so it will have uv protection right?
And 1 more question, if the paint is repaint part, so what shoukd we take care when doing polishing?
