true....i experience this too with meguiars.
it's like white powder...dried up wax

So it need to be remove by using polishing? Or claying will do ? Or re-wax? I never face this problem so maybe can learn the technique and apply in future , because it dont happen like this on my honda city maybe my car is dark color

experience it too...after apply paint cleaner it remove with ease...after all i use pinnacle carnauba wax to replace soft99 and the problem gone...carnauba is more natural..but durability is not gud..

hi sifu,

need advise if car everyday park under sun with no roof, any frequency on how many times we have to go wash/wax the car monthly to maintain the car appearance?

Read through many pages but still got some questions..

Need guidance on

Best for car wash (Microfibre clothes / Sponge) Any brand for sponge? washing & drying..

There are so many towel? Waffle tower, buffing towel???

Best shampoo for car wash?? meguiar? osren?

planing to do sealant & waxing myself.. Will invest a DA Osren Polisher, but need guidance on buying the pads for waxing.. so many type as well..
Is there any brand for these product that they can mix together.. and where to buy them >.<

What should i use to lubricate when applying clay?? spray wax or car shampoo?

Anyone know where I can buy Meguiars D143 in gallon packing? Not economical to buy bottles anymore.

I try to pm thrm, recently my brother give me the Black Decker KP600, i not sure it really can polishing to remove light swril? Plan to use on my wife consider new car because just drive 4month++ , some place that have light swirl which already got there when received car, any review on this kp600 actually?

Using 5 inch, i have a 2inch+ too from osren, that one is easy. Actually i'm referring to paint, for windscreen i stick to da polisher.

On flat panels, vertical or horizontal, i face difficulties in handling it. it brings me cuti-cuti malaysia.
on corner, yes i tilt the polisher so it doesn't hit against the paint. it feels natural too.

only when it comes to polishing flat panels i find it difficult with foam pads.
i cannot figure what im doing wrong.

Yes. It slips, I've tried priming the pad too.

I think it is more of inexperience in handling it, unlike da I'm so used to.

Polisher I use is osren series. I think it dries up quickly too.

In terms of getting result I still prefer to finish down with da, cutting however, I understand that rotary is faster and less time consuming..
Tried removing orange peel too with their denim and perfect 50, no problem in handling. Wool and denim pads no problem

For slipping issues, I believe it should be mostly too much pressure on the pad when polishing. The machine itself usually has enough weight to pressure down on horizontal panels, so no additional pressure down from the hands are necessary.

For vertical surfaces, due to its nature, the pressure on the body panel is very much dependent on your own hands force.

So what I can recommend is to reduce downwards pressure on horizontal surfaces, inwards pressure on vertical surfaces. With practice, you will notice that you only need to guide the machine, not add pressure to it. For foam pads, its especially easy to see if you put too much pressure by looking at how much your pad as compressed.

Hope this helps, just sharing personal experience.
Agreed, I use Meguiars M105 and it dries quickly, quicker than Osren in many cases especially with rotary. Even Meguiars M100 has much more lubrication than M105. However, from following Kevin Brown method, drying up does not necessarily mean end of life of the liquid. One squirt of water and the polishing can continue.

On that note about DK, how does it fare? Do u achieve results quicker? More efficient? Cost effective?

da pads are seemingly getting thinner as well. lakecountry hd pads, lakecountry forced disc. so i have these 2 to play with on my da.

the pads with hole in the middle that i've gotten from osren is meant for rotary, it is thicker compared to the da's. I have 2 versions of it.

one cutting pad without hole (maroon), one polishing pad with hole (navy). both seems to slip. LOL
lousy skill i have.

Osren sells em. It does giving more rotation torque.

[attachmentid=8544747]

Donut pads for rotary

i use the slowest speed which equal to highest speed in rotary. have to be extra careful 
thanks for the recommendation 
Meg quik wax = if not much time to do detailing i use this
Fusso wax = great durability + water beading, poor shine, i use this during rainy season or balik kampung ( trunk road / felda road / no hiway at all )

thanks to all for the advice. why nobody recommend rotary? is it too dangerous for newbie? 

hehe I dunno but I DIY, I have this mentality of going the safest route.
I have bought the Megs DA Power Tool and have been practicing on the technique of sponge contact / pressure / angle of attack etc..
So still learning kerb but I believe I'm ready for a step up to a proper DA so can't give you any sound advice

Better wait Windskill or Douglas_Tong whom are the thread expert to advice bah 

you have an excellent point! couple hundreds more rupes lei!

been eyeing for rupes mk2... not sure if the price is jacked again or not....

The oxidation is difficult to show up on pic. Need to be in person to see it on certain angle.

The shop gives 3 yrs warranty on the coating still able to repel water but not oxidation.

I checked with the shop detailer. He said clay, polish or thing like tar removal will "remove" the coating.

When I 1st got my car, I send for coating. Rinse with water and then wash with car shampoo. Then rinse again and finally dry it. I do that every weekend. Then notice black sports on roof and bonet. Can't be washed off by shampoo.

After much analysis, my conclusion is after a rain, dirt stick to the car surface. When not wash away immediately and leave the car under the hot sun for 2-3 days, then the dirt will get "bond" deep into the glass coating. So, I'm wondering any sifu have similar problem and know how to remove the black spots. Any proven car liquid that can do this and yet not harm/damage the glass coating (already paid a lot of $$$ on it :-))

Hi sifus~ anyone knows how to remove holograms caused by rotary buffer?

i'll share a photo later when i go back home.

it's a white colored car and no, i didn't expose it to rain. spent 90% of the time indoors/covered car parks.

i currently use Magic 101's Glo-White shampoo and Soft 99 's 12 Month's fusso wax.

Would be nice if we could buy online like Megs Direct       

I did just that haha  hopefully I'll get a reply

Ok, from ur words, i confident that i just go for Osren DAP8 , 8mm orbit i think is enough for my home detail, not going get 15mm bcoz abit pricy, buy from aliexpress later shit happen cant claim cham , at least osren if break down they got 6 month warranty and after warranty they can stil repair for me haha, so is that correct move bro?
Because i have view youtube video recently, DA is more friendly user and better for newbie like me, rotary somehow need better skill only get good result , am i right?
I actually got Grey Force disc, white and black from osren lake country, with black decker kp600, i believe this machine just for waxing only lol, so i now just need a machine to so some real polishing

Wait next time finish the glaco wil give it a chance 

Anyone try osren glass coat?

Lol, okay here goes:

The bag comes as a complete carry kit. I would have preferred they sold more separately, cuz some of the stuff are probably not gonna be used.

[attachmentid=9136934]
Autocolortech Marketing only sells the Long Neck version. Comes with 2 batteries and charger and also power adapter if u want to run on direct power instead of battery. The batteries can run about 35-40mins, and charging is about 20-35 mins full charge, so can be endless cycling batteries with minimal downtime.

[attachmentid=9136936]
Blue and yellow pads at back row comes with the kit. Not a big fan of the blue pads, after a few use it starts to disintegrate. Front row are LC MF cutting pads and finish pads from Detailed Image.

[attachmentid=9136939]
Top row: Some brush, opening tool, another brush
Middle row: Rotary attachment, 12mm DA attachment, 3mm DA attachment
Bottom row: Sanding backing pad, 2" backing pad, 1" backing pad

[attachmentid=9136940]
Left pack is microfiber cloths. Right side are some manuals and 1" sanding discs.

Overall a very good tool to get on tight areas and work on selected spots. I contemplated between this kit and the Rupes LHR75E, but felt this kit more versatile.

Anyways, please dont take me as bragging because I buy expensive tools. I think detailing is a hobby for everyone here, some spend more some spend less, most important is share knowledge and enjoy the fun of detailing.
The UV coating can be damaged through running polish over. Not sure if the typical car coating works the same for headlamps. However if your headlamp is already yellowed, then u need to wet-sand, compound and polish the headlamp before applying any coating.

I saw a youtube video by ChrisFix that shows he use a special clear UV resistant spray paint to respray his headlamps after he removed all the haze and yellowing. If anyone knows where to get such spray paint please share info. Thanks.
