Wool pad usually provides more cutting power compared to sponge pad.

To polish headlamp with minor oxidation, you can use a smaller size pad to polish the headlamp.
If the oxidation is severe, usually I would sand it before polish. But make sure you have the correct tool and technique to remove the sanding marks.

Thanks for replying

Any idea where to get wool pad? Or polisher accessories?

Went to ace hardware twice but dont have

At mudah.my selling in package with just one wool pad.

For the headlamp, on April i have sent my car for body painting and they did polish the headlamp until crystal clear and they just use G3 polish compound. Now just want to maintain that crystal look.

Do you have any method how to polish windscreen?

Wool pad you can get from Osren (they have LC purple foam wool pad and LC 8" wool pad if i am not mistaken). Or you can look for Antirain in FB. Meguiars Hypercoat might have too.
As I mentioned previously, the method is dependent on the initial oxidation condition (some headlamp even have old coat that peeled off). Sometimes, just purely polishing without sanding for too severe oxidized headlamp cannot produce astonishing result.

So far I haven't tried to polish windscreen by using machine. All the works are done by hands. I used Osren watermark remover to polish windscreen (just to remove watermark stains). I have tried out the same product and method to remove glass scratches, but it is not effective. I think it makes sense. Because glass is quite tough and by using hand, most likely I can't achieve the result. Plus, the product might not contain ingredient which is capable to abrade glass surface (eg: cerium oxide).

those spray type wax sold in tesco/aeon, anyone using? how are they?

guys , can we wax Fron gril chrome or plastic surface? will wax scratch it actually?

better don't buy hahahaha... but you can try and let us know lol

ULW i believe can

Because i read the rear instruction, it say avoid from flat surface , but i remember some of our member do wax those surface , i should try small part first before wax other part

Chrome is also a paint finishing.
most would try to avoid plastic because it will stain it.
But ultimate wax doesn't stain black plastic. so good to go i would say.

Thank you i will try it tonight

how to remove those water stains in car.

Hi, need polish to remove water mark/stains on car.

To avoid water stains, need wipe dry from pipe water & wash car in normal period (1 ~ 2weeks) .

Just wondering if any have any interesting tools to share.
Those which are not categorised under detailing tools but is applicable for detailing uses.

i would share but some of my tools are in my car, which is in the workshop under repair cause kena cucuk belakang.

I use make up brushes for interior cleaning on vents and difficult areas.

Anyone using Bosch Pressure Washer AQT33-11?
Bosch is having promotion now selling at RM299 per unit. Good buy?

Get Kacher for better support. Their HQ is at Glenmarie. You can have a look at all their PW before deciding.

Best to get a water-cooled PW. Then buy the MJJC snow foam lance from aliexpress.com

I used to use water bottle brush to clean car rims but recently just bought a decent brush to clean rims

Guys, i found out after done compound on 25/10, swirl marks still visible on my car boot. will check on my bonnet when i can.
what is the reason swirl mark still visible after done compound? was it not done correctly?
i use the two pail system but haven't get the grit guard, but i try not to stir too hard.

will consider to get grit guard from osren. anyone know how much are theirs?
Meguair's cost around RM70 i feel is too expansive..


talking about pressure washer, i have a unit but too lazy to use it. is it recommended after i've done paste waxing? will the pressure washer somehow remove the wax because of the high pressure? lol

also i have trouble cleaning my MF cloth after buffing of the paste wax. any advise?
thanks!

I'm new in detailing too. But IMHO, after compound, you will need to polish with a finish foam pad to further enhance the paint.

I myself didn't get the grit guard, but found a cheaper way after reading gfwong Car Porch Detailer blog.

Car Porch Detailer

You have been to Osren? Do you know their pricing on the car shampoo?

What kind of compound did you use?
IMO, there are a few reasons. It can be either you did not completely remove the swirl marks during compounding. Or the buffing process caused swirl marks. Or the compound product did not break down completely.

Try to put some warm water (besides detergent) to clean your microfiber cloth which is used to buff-off wax. It works for me.
