Guys, i face a problem on cost as you know currently Meguair's is getting more and more expensive due to currency exchange.

Currently I want to consider few things on saving cost.

How can i get those stuff in a good price and in bundle?
1) Microfiber Cloth in bundle
2) Microfiber Drying cloth
3) Wash Mitt (soft recommendation)
4) Sonax Product
5) Meguairs
6) Osren
7) Detailing Brushes

and any recommended detailing product. blush.gif blush.gif

Thanks for the help!

Dear detailers,

I read around the internet regarding layering the wax. (waxing by hand)

Some say 2 layers to even out the finish.

Some say up to 6 layers for best results.

I'm using this wax: https://www.amazon.com/P21S-12700W-Carnauba...x/dp/B002LOP5E4

WOW! 6 layers, i usually do 3 layers.. smile.gif

Sorry, I'm not very good with sealants, had a bad experience with sealants as they are very hard to buff when dry. I would generally go back to wax, or if I have coating available, do coating myself.
*
haha u can use Quick detailer or a spray of water on your cloth to wipe off i usually do that.

Ah I see, no worries, I threw away my sealants dy. Now just have coating and wax, coating for new cars that not yet do anything, wax for older cars that driven daily.

Btw, be careful if want to order detailing stuff from US. If not mistaken any shipment worth more than RM500 will get taxed, and detailing products generally are taxed at 20%-30%. I kena before even polishing pads get taxed.

Really ?? OK but sometimes i was thinking to get certain products from Amazon... :/

Generally anything u wanna buy from overseas to ship to Malaysia, calculate the price and mark up by 30%, if it is still worth to get because no one sells here or its a price u are comfortable with, then go ahead. smile.gif

Butterwetwax normally can tahan how long?

Well, for me is I apply 2 weeks once so i didnt see how long can it last. To me the wax really work because when i wash dust came out easily and it didnt stain.

ya lo
but still considered affordable
at least those things last looooooooong.. provided if I not getting poisoned and keep on looking for new product la  laugh.gif

too bad the hd speed cap popped open and leak all over the box. I think around 30-50g of product lost. i am shocked to see that happened, that autogeek team dont know how to ship their product meh? No taping or whatever to secure the filmsy cap!

Hi Sifu

Seek help to resolve this water mark in front windscreen. Tried using IGL Delete water mark without success…☹️

Have tried using polish by hand and it’s not improving but have yet to try using DA polisher with either wool or microfibre pad. Someone suggest I use wool as below…🤔
*
Its been many years I visit LYN Forum Detailing section... NO better not use wool it will just scratch you windscreen. You need a glass compound to detail this watermark.
