Thanks for your suggestion. Shopped there last month, didnt know they also do coating over there. Will ask them.

They do coating but very limited as manufacturing and distributing is their core business smile.gif not sure on the price range, best to give them a call

Yeap, that one. But I don't quite like the dry application method... it doesn't buff off as easy as the Osren's.
Need this adapter to use M14 with the pads. I bought this from Osren back in 2017 when I didn’t have a rotary. Oh the 2” backing plate is stuck 😅 need to get the right tool to open it up.

What sort of water wax is that?

And +1 on the suggestions to use Glaco.

Highly recommended product which isn't too pricey too.

I've stopped using Rain X ever since I started using Glaco/Ultra Glaco on my windscreen areas. Works like a charm. Helps if your screen is already free from oil film or watermarks before applying it.

a cordless blower is very useful there... blow off all the water droplets... so you wont end up with watermarks biggrin.gif

Whoa, weight also comes into play ah...

Must research thoroughly then...

So far EGO is not available locally. The most powderful cordless available in MY so far are :
1. Sthil BGA56
2. Greenworks GD80BL

I'm using my BOSCH GBL 18V with 4aH batteries. Can go 2 rounds with tyres & rims included

Nice.

Around 1.1kg without battery.

Bosch GBL 18V

> RM600 though...  hmm.gif

Still in dilemma whether to opt for the blower at the moment...  sweat.gif

I saw they have CORE battery also. What's the diff with normal 4.0 battery [RM40 price diff].
*
CORE is slimmer due to 21700 battery versus 18650 on the standard one

I see. Yea gonna give it a try. Already poured out into spray bottle to be used. Kept in my storeroom since bought. biggrin.gif
Technically S&S works like a LSP [Last Step Product] so you can probably tweak the sequence - spray wax then S&S for example. I have been using all sorts of spray waxes/sealants on my ride for the past few years and the water beading effect is pretty impressive. As many have shared here, advances in tech and especially the introduction of Sio2 products has pretty much rendered the traditional methods such as paste wax redundant. Paste wax still works but if you count the time and effort taken to apply, buff, cure etc, pitting it against the sheer effortlessness of the spray waxes is pretty much a no-brainer.
Can check out the ones quoted by bro Celciuz below biggrin.gif
TW S&S is good. Currently using Meg's Mirror Bright Detailing Spray and Soft 99 Speed & Barrier and they work really well too.
No worries. We all started off as newbies too and we keep learning along the way too bro. Keep up that passion for detailing thumbsup.gif

so among all the spray wax/sealant you have used... which one u like the most?

hmm.gif Tricky.

Keeps changing.  sweat.gif

If based on current mood:

1. Meg's HCW
2. Soft 99 Speed and Barrier
3. Meg's Mirror Bright Detailing Spray
4. TW S&S
5. Sonax BSD [too expensive though]
6. Meg's Fast Finish
7. Optimum Opti-Seal

Osren HCS I rarely use so not fair to place it in the list. Items #6 & 7 act as sealant so they are placed rather low on my list.
Let us know your feedback. A lot of the products I kena racun also after watching the videos and reviews. Sonax BSD also... Too bad it's RM150. brows.gif

should rephrase my question... which do you prefer based on looks/gloss? biggrin.gif

Hmm.

Gloss & smooth feeling - likely the Turtlewax Seal and Shine.

I do have to commend Meg's HCW also - that product was like a game changer man when it came out. Used to be so skeptical about wet application...  hmm.gif

lets wait for the improved formula then rclxm9.gif

Anyway, does anyone know how to remove stains like this? I removed my car emblems and this is the result. Compound + polish doesnt work.
