QUOTE(woodentiger86 @ Feb 26 2020, 08:09 PM) Haha, depends what sort of decals. Many many years back my parent's car put the Michelin man stickers, I think consists of 3 Michelin man from small to big sized with running stunt, it looks neat as if that guy was running from far to near... now never seen anymore.I remembered opening up a thread somewhere, maybe ZeroToHundred forums asking for suggestions on where to get decent decals. I'm not so into body stripes as I tend to collect decals for use on windscreens. ![]() ![]() ![]() Anyways, so far bearable la. Not as bad as anticipated. Just gotta be careful especially around those stickers which have many edges like text etc cos it may fray after awhile. But overall, I tend to replace the decals maybe every 6 months or so... End up become lala/ah beng car especially countless naggings from the missus... |

Any side effect if frequently use Soft99 MetaClean on hand applicator? Will it damage or thinning the clear coat. My car is on cheap Cat Layang paint now.
I used last month and after a month yesterday I use again, amazing to see so much dirt lift up especially on the roof and engine bonnet area, yellow applicators instantly become black (yes it's black) after running through roof and engine bonnet area. Other area such as doors are not much dirt.. |

Ok, did my first DIY ceramic coating during mid February. Now it's been 1 month plus I didn't wash my car due to MCO and frequent evening downpour. Stray cats couple having party on my car during nights, tree saps, dirts. Here are the before wash and after decontamination snow wash result.
Not satisfied with some water mark/dirt etch, I then use Soft99 Metaclean hand polish bonnet and boot area, then redo coating on these area again. I also try apply coating on roof which I did not polish, I found the coating brings out some darker stain mark upon application, yucks. Proves that before coating it's mandatory to do light polish. No photo of these because it's already night by now. This post has been edited by voscar: Apr 9 2020, 08:04 PM Attached thumbnail(s) |

Thanks for recommendation, will consider that.btw, i've only experience 1week plus waterspot, not 1month plus.😅 Ytd quite tiring to rub it using Metaclean because I have only hand applicators, need to find easier solution to remove water spot, haha. |

QUOTE(woodentiger86 @ Apr 16 2020, 05:31 PM) Sharing some roof spoiler shots after the evening downpour. just wondering, will you attempt the real men's diy ceramic coating project? since i see you have passion on car detailing.Car washed quickly with diluted Mirror Bright Shine a couple of nights ago. Car has a layer of ADM Solutions Hybrid Spray Coating on it applied last weekend. ![]() ![]() i attempted and failed miserably 1st time due to waited too long before wipe-off, many visible high spots, but i believe your level can manage that better than me. |

QUOTE(teikchuan @ Apr 16 2020, 06:57 PM) apply is superb easy, timing to buff off and noticing high spot is different story. mine when buff off certain area will haze and if didn't notice enough, next day gg, tho it still reflects lights like a mirror until you go near to see. my roof I still haven't buy Meguiar's Ultimate Compound to try. |

QUOTE(Jack234 @ Apr 16 2020, 08:07 PM) Some coating need to buff off within few minutes due to our humid and hot weather. Maybe can apply the coating on cooler day and have enough light to check all the coating are buff off. Be patient while buffing off, change to new buffing towel if needed. speaking about towel, doing coating is wasting towel and applicator cloth. Regardless i throw into soap water and rinse, the textile will turn harden and not suitable for car paint use. |

QUOTE(woodentiger86 @ Apr 22 2020, 10:52 AM) Wow, torchlights racun. Do proper polish correction, then try Soft99 H7 Glass Coating, foreigner forum review the scratch resistant is good for this, haha.Anyways, my car's swirls and holograms are getting more apparent now under sunlight. Haha. Must be the overzealous washing throughout the almost 8 months of ownership. Plus it's a dark car so the swirls are very apparent vs my previous ride which was silver in colour... Asides from using the DA, is there any hopes of swirl removal just by hand application? This post has been edited by voscar: Apr 22 2020, 01:23 PM Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE(woodentiger86 @ Apr 22 2020, 01:46 PM) Thanks for the sharing bro. They have long argument over there, Russian forum, regarding opticoat pro cure time and scratching it. So some of them doing experiment of few different product with a few ml on glass.I noticed it was referring to 'glass' - means windscreen area? Looking for ways to either remove/reduce the swirls on the paintwork. This post has been edited by voscar: Apr 22 2020, 02:03 PM |
