Hi, bro, you can give this guy a call. He used to be my neighbour. His name is Suresh and you can reach him at 0122222245. H does quite a good job and if i'm not mistaken uses products from UK. Not sure what brand though.
Cheers!

Arunn.

Hi,

I got a question.

How long do we have to wait before we can apply wax to a brand new car?

Tried searching in Google, some site said can wax straight away, and some site said have to wait 30 - 90 days to let the paint settle down first.

Which one is correct? unsure.gif

Hello guys. I have a Bosch random orbital sander. It was bought a long long time ago and I haven't used it before. I wonder if it is suitable to polish my car. What about the wool pads? Can I use it? I would like to remove some scratches and swirl marks on my car. The thumbnails below are the pictures of the random orbital sander.

Guys. Im thinking of getting a Black & Decker Polisher.
Is it any good? Its a 7" orbital Polisher.

I dont have budget for a Random Orbital polisher. And since this B&D is around 190$. it fits my budget nicely.

Good Day,
Well , is it necessary to purchase your own polisher just to make your car shine. I afraid over polishing will only damage your car coating of wax and paint job. End of the days only you need to fork out Rm $$$ for a new paint job.

I would like to recommed the products i'm using since few years ago. Currently, i'm using Kit Wash and Wax. My car still shine as is brand new although is already 3 years old. Try to learn more for that product before you spend $$$ on something that not necessary works as is promised. Since the product i recommended is only so cheap per bottle. Cost only Rm 20 ++ . thumbup.gif

are you sure its wool?
wool is very strong and harsh it can easily scratch your paint.
wool is meant to remove sanding marks.

if you have the bosch already I suggest you invest in foam pads.

you can get them in Selayang - Osren Malaysia.
these guys sell the pads that can attach to the bosch. each foam pad is about 50-60 ringgit. once you are there, talk to Kok Yi.

Bro,
I been using KIT WASH & WAX for the past 2 years. My car still glow and shine as new. Worth for money and water saving. Study the instruction on the pack and you should realize how good it is.

Good Luck ! thumbup.gif
