QUOTE(blurcase @ Apr 22 2019, 12:10 AM) Great work! Looks very good! Its ok la, so long friends and neighbours takes noticed on the shine and gloss i'm happy..  QUOTE(V429 @ Apr 22 2019, 08:39 AM) Very nice Bro I had polished the windscreen by using 2 small drop of Osren crystal 2.0 cut on the DA machine pad (white lake country pad). Once done, apply RainX on dry cloth, spread over and buff off. Also apply a bit on tissue then onto the wipers.. mind if I ask how do you apply rainx? |

Ok so I've applied the Bead Maker on 2 cars this evening which was "prepped" last weekend.
I can safely say the paint is even more smooth and the shine is deeper after 4 hours. Will be leaving it till this weekend when I'll be driving them Did used the microfiber cloth to just wipe the windows and windscreen instead of spraying on it direct cos I've coated it earlier with RainX. Dunno if there's improvement there but it's also silky smooth after buff Meanwhile will apply remaining on the 3rd car after wash this weekend. I think this bottle is only good for single coat for 3 mid size sedan cars Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(genkis3 @ Aug 11 2019, 01:33 AM) i've been using meg ultimate fast finish for while. apply every 3months without problem.actually it's still beading well when i re-apply. last application was just about a week ago. and if u guys reading news, there was thunder storm at northern region these 2 days. to my surprise, the storm wash out the sealant. no more beading when i rinse my car after the storm today. my previous application can withstand many heavy rain and thunder storm. how come this time only few hours(actually driving in storm only 1hour) can totally wipe out the sealant. i wonder is it the rain this time too acidic? Wow! Did you try 2nd wash to check the same? |

QUOTE(Chiggah @ Aug 18 2019, 10:29 AM) Should I use a product like RainX or Soft99 on the outer windscreen ?      QUOTE(Hongz18 @ Aug 18 2019, 02:01 PM) Any nice watermark remover product recently? Planning to DIY on my car as the stains are getting serious lol. And also what you guys use to coat the windows after removing the watermarks? I used Rain X last time, just wondering if there is any better product. Last i used polish and machine polish off then applied Rain X to get rid of watermark QUOTE(woodentiger86 @ Aug 19 2019, 10:30 AM) Enjoy the beading pics: You realised the SnS sheeting water quite nicely and car looks clean although after downpour?     Anyhow, dark car, so unless car is driven to remove excess water naturally, it will leave water spots/stains on the paint/windscreen if it dries off/evaporates normally. |
