So I have some micro scratches on my side door panel. Its only a month old city
So is there anyway to remove this? What are the things I need?
After fixing this i am thinking claying and sealing it with PG sealant.

Also scratches to the rims .....zzz....

Hmm...I was thinking polish would do the job, just not sure which type to use.
Wet Sanding...need to use sandpaper?

I feel you bro.

I saw Youtube, For rim scratches you can fix...if you have the time....sand it then putty it then spray paint(primer/paint/sealant). I am bad with DIY...gotta consider will I do more damage or not. Most likely will let it be
but Sim Tia (Heart Pain)...haha

Alright. Thanks for the info.
As for the rims. Its Alloy.

Thanks guys for the and information and replies
Will try to polish out the scratches.
For the Rims .....Ive gotta see if i have time to do that or not.(based on the Chrisfix).

Is PG Sealant suffice? Any true experience on it?
Does a sealant help to reduce swirl marks when washing as well or does it only protect your car from chemicals and bird poo from dulling your paint? Cos whenever i want to wash my car, I am having this thoughts am I making mroe swirl marks as I wash? I do use the two bucket regime. So with sealant on my worries may reduce.
I am okay to self wash my car once a week or every two weeks.
But I don't wanna spend too much time waxing the car and I see the PG sealant is at an affordable price too.
I have a month old car and currently am only washing it with turtle wax zip wash & wax once a week.

Hose down car with water.

I use a sponge. Two pails. One pail with Soapy(turtle wax zip wash and wax) solution. The other pail with just water.
Sponge dipped to soapy solution. Then light sponging on half section of the car (half the roof as example at each go or sometimes maybe quarter of it). Then sponge gets rinsed in the pail with just water. Then repeat by dipping into soapy solution.

I always wash it from top to bottom. First wave horizontal surface area and glass. Second wave the upper portions of the vertical surfaces and lastly the lower part of the vertical surfaces and underside of the car. I use the same sponge though througout the whole process.

Then Tyres last with separate sponge and a brush. I do use the same soapy solution and wash pail as during car body wash.

There are this yellow small dots which seems to not go off with light sponging at first so for those i put a little elbow grease into it to make it come off. This applies to bird shit which does not have pebbles in it. Not sure I should be doing that .

After finishing the entire car and tyre. I rinse off with water. Another question here, should i rinse off the soap from the car body before washing my tyres or do it all at one go. Soapy Solution left on car would before drying would be better or water left on car ?

I try my best to dab wiht microfibre to dry off the car. But that will take me a lot of time. so sometimes i just softly drag /dab/wipe off the water to dry the car no circular motion but in long straight strokes. I have a couple of microfibre towels for the drying. dry outside then open door to wipe off the access water. Open boot and hood also to wipe off access water.

That is my car care regime for the last 3 washes.

Thanks daedalus on the insights and suggestions. Yeah was thinking to wash my tyres first as well so I can go straight to drying the car right after rinsing the car body.

I am a bit of a cheapskate myself. I didnt think of getting any quick detailing sprays or bug/tar removers. Maybe I should start looking into them, as you have said the elbow grease could marr the car surface. Cheapskate till I am researching on using soapy car wash solution as lubricant for claying the car(before applying sealant) without buying additional quick detailer or claying lube..haha

The yellow dots and bird poo are the reasons I am thinking of using PG paint sealant to add an extra layer of protection. I was thinking with the sealant on, I could remove those without that much of an effort and damage to the car paint.

Just wondering considering the price of the PG sealant versus sealants from other brands it seems too good to be through. Thus asking for opinion whether the PG sealant actually works.

I've seen people in youtube use plastidip to coat and protect the B pillars.

Do you know where in Penang Island to get those items in bulk?

PG sealant is a paste sealant which replaces paste/liquid wax.
Sealants can last longer than wax. This is gotten from information all over the internet.
I don't want to keep waxing my car, thus i plan to use sealant which will last longer with the same benefits of wax.
Most sealants I see cost RM100 at least. PG sealants cost around RM30 and below. The difference in price is quite high.

I am going for this....

2 month old car...
after clay no need to polish the whole car i guess, just the parts with minor scratches.

Clay bar looks like a bar of soap. But its consistency is like moulding clay or plastercine. you should rip off a piece and flatten it then use it to scrub gently on car surface.
To use it you need to use the soapy solution when you wash your car to lubricate your car surface before you use the clay bar on the surface. If you dont lubricate the surface...will cause scratches to your paint.
Clay bars will remove more of the dirt(harder to removed dirt) on the surface of your car which ordinary car wash cant remove.
It can remove wax and sealant too....
