Ah... unless in the future if I were to do my own coating, then I can polish it before applying those coating on?

Wah! Sendiri spray paint at home?

which air gun are you using hehe

Envy you...its been more than 2 years since i stopped working on painting my car as well..sold it already (old Kia Optima)...new cars  dare not sendiri paint...hahaha

its really fun though , learn thru alot as well, and patching as well. Do you do patch work as well using filler and fiber glass mat? Thats fun as well, especially the hardener  and curing.

But those are fast drying, hope the rain didnt mess it up, else need to re-sand it. Do you also use clear coat to finish it?

PS: maybe its good to get awning for the front porch.

Hi all, besides ace hardware, where can i find some good and affordable spray wax? I only found turtle ice spray wax and meguiars ultimate quik wax. Im surprised that turtle ice spray wax is much more expensive than the meguiars.. any other spray wax can recommend for high gloss finish and long durability ( say 1-2 month ) ?

Any recommended product to clean matte black wheels?

So far i just use water. Doesnt seem to clean well, the black looks a little brownish now. Is regular car shampoo alright?

If possible, I also wanna give it a bit of shine. Some say it's ok to just apply some tyre shine on it, but some say it's gonna peel off the paint.

Any suggestions?

Sigh, just noticed this damage on my bumper (while washing it felt rough). Its not obvious as it is on the bottom side, but I wanna touch it up. Any tips? gonna get the ezy touch up paint, i need to sand it a little after i paint it right? Cause it is showing the base black color of the bumper already.

I think I kinda scuffed it when driving down those multi storey car park probably =/. Only on the left side sigh...

Thanks for the tips! On the side note... damn sad at the moment ._. So unlucky I scratched my bumper this morning when driving out T_T. Walaoweh ytd found this below (no big deal...) now got scratches on the bumper cause of my mistake tsk...

And I ordered ezy touch up paint... I'll experience with the bottom part first =/.

If I don't use filler, means I need to paint until it fills up the gap right?

Side note, where can I get these spray paint? Any reliable source to get them from?

Is this the product you referring to? https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-...=8711351&rt=rud

Hmm, need to hunt from Ace Hardware perhaps... do you by any chance know how much does it cost?

I was looking around Taobao and saw this when I searched for "3M Bondo".

Comes in a kit, same product?

Have not seen or heard of fake Soft99 products, so unable to advise, sorry.

In any case this is a rather niche market, so not sure if ppl are interested to pirate detailing products unless its easy to do so (such as 3M claybar and many brands polishing pads). So far havent seen creams/liquids/paste products that get pirated, maybe just similar/same formula but relabeled different brand name.

Guys, I suddenly tot of an funny idea regarding waxing the car with Fusso coat.

After reading thru past opinions about Fusso coat, generally it is praised for it's water beading ability & durability but has the disadvantage of attracting comparatively more dust and watermark.

So my idea is that why not wax vertical panels (such as doors and bumper) with Fusso coat and then wax horizontal panels (such as car roof and hood) with another wax/sealant that attracts less watermark?

I was thinking maybe this may reduce watermark on fusso coat as water less likely to sit and dry on vertical panels. But dust might still be a problem maybe.

Another possible downside to this is that visually the car may look.. Strange due to different shine due to different wax/sealant on different panels.

so far I have not heard people using different wax/sealants on different part of the car, only layering different wax and sealants.

So what do you guys think? Or anyone tried it before already?

I see.. I think I might have missed out this melting under heat weakness of Fusso coat during my readings. If this is true then I probably will go for FK1000p instead of Fusso coat since unfortunately my car is parked outdoors almost all the time 

Those are interesting looking spray sealants, never seen them before. I hope they are good.

Need advise, recently my house was doing repaint and today I noticed this stain. It’s at the edge area which makes me hard to polish... how can I reduce it? It’s a weather bond paint 🤦‍♂️

UPDATE: Tried IPA, didn't work... tried water, didn't work either... then decided to give tar remove a try... it softened! Phew... too dark to see if completely removed or not but can't feel it anymore.

So, I sent my car to respray my front bumper other day then saw this drip of paint on the back. Googled online recommended to use fingernail, managed to removed the color but under light can see this shape appeared, clear coat from the paint? 😓 I haven’t use machine yet.

Bro’s how to remove splattered bug stains from the bonnet and bumper ? Tried everything including polish... it’s still there
