As I know Makita 9227c is roughly RM900, but it is supposed to be phased out and replaced with its heavier brother Makita 9237c which price is around RM1000.

Lol, in all fairness the 9227c is a workhorse, rarely breaks down. Only issue is the head of the machine is bare metal, so feels hot if wanna hold there for polishing. The heavier brother 9237c has a thick plastic covering the head, so more comfortable to hold. I normally dont use the D-handle cuz not convenient to me when polishing sides.

There is something call handle bro lol. U don't 'hold' the head ....too much vibration there..

Haha, never got used to the D handle or side handle to be honest. I hold rotary same was as DA, holding the tail and trigger with right hand and head with left hand. Personally it gives me more control of its movement and also tilting whenever I need to. Just personal experience and preference I guess, hehe

wrong technique.

Is this repainted paintwork ? It can be fix or improve by using mild abrasive polisher (need more time and technique to do it) else whatever wax u applying wont last long nor give u glossy survey coz of the marring

thinking of getting one. still undecided on getting a rotary or DA.
but price of DA is too expensive to be use a couple of time yearly.

rotary is very dangerous if fall to wrong hand/wrote technique. DA is next level of ROB

Just slow down on edges. These days polishing products are not as aggressive as what it was back then.

Even leaving on a same spot wouldn't burn that easily...but why would anyone do that?

Personally I think this stigma have made people turn away from rotary. It is a favorite tool of mine and I do recommend it.
But not as a first tool. Stick with da for your first tool

Ordered MJJC foam lance from AliExpress, finally arrived yesterday rclxm9.gif this weekend can use this foam lance and Osren Nano wash hehehe. The Karcher Fj3 that came with my K4 Basic was not convenient, the container is only 0.3L ._. spray halfway need to top up soap.

Was told the Karcher is really bad compared to these China made ones, don't dare to pull trigger for those italy made ones haha, so much more expensive.

my ex-colleague bought the same from Aliexpress. Less than 5 times use, it went kaput....i bet after few wash/setup you will find foam gun is better vs foam lance in ease of setup/time

Guys need your input, after 2 weeks of raining season washed my car just now and found a few of this scratches on my doors....
May I know what is the best way to remove it? Can the Meguair's ScratchX 2.0 do the job? Saw some good reviews on it.

My mom wants to sell her 9 year-old car.

I wish to up the resell value by detailing the exterior.

If I don't want to spend on a polisher, it is possible to polish the whole car by hand?

Assume that I have the all the time and energy.

I just want the car to look less old, not expect to restore the glossiness.

Shortcut- pay Rm100-200 get a shot to do it. Btw, wouldn't give u another 3-5K more still....
