HI xDjWanNabex
there are many variety of waxes - patse - liquid but as for me i love to use spray

mostly requires lots of elbow grease - if u applied too much & much effort required to removed the residue - & you have to watch out for plastic , vinyl unpainted area of the bumper or car...otherwise u got another issue to remove

so easy that i can wax a whole car in 5 minutes & i can do it so often - easy effortless & effective

How do you wash a car without the floor getting wet?

No water? lol!

I was talking about the machine that spreads the wax on the car.

hi KC,

Im very new to detailing. My car is white in color. Well, i got followed the way how to wash a car. Since i bought my car from previous owner, there are a lot of tiny black spot which is very very hard to remove. I guess is those tar spots. Any recommendation from you?

straight away clean it - i carry a bottle of QD make of ONR in my trunk

spray & agitate it prior wiping off with micro fibers

do not use force - always use plenty of water

if it is a hard stain - i will power clean & prolong left - damaged yr Clear coat

During yesterday free time, i have spend some of the time to do the scratch touch up for my family car. The tools needed for this job are:

as shown in the picture the scar already fill with the touch up paint by some other fellow and i am not satisfy with it and today i will try DIY.

First wash the area with ONR mixture and then i wet sand the affected area by using 1000G, 2500G,3000G with ONR ad lube.

Attached Image

then wipe dry and remove the sanding marks by some rubbing compound. after the sanding marks is remove then i use the Wax & silicone removal to wipe the area clean the area, the purpose of using this is to ensure that the surface is well prepare for the touch up paint to bond better.
Attached Image
this is the picture that the touch up paint is applied, i will leave it cure for one day then i will compound again this is the after picture

result:
although it is not totally like new but i am happy that the diy is better then the job done others.

bro congrats - very very nice le
but be very very careful when sanding
mainly u do not know how deep u sand & otherwise - thinning the CC is hazardous to yr paint

I would suggest using - turpentine or mild thinner - rub & rinse off immediately = do it carefully


or use compound...careful at times u rub it too hard & over strength & smear off the paint
\nevertheless you did it well


i carry a bottle of QD make of ONR in my trunk[SIZE=14][cool.gif[I]

Hi bro KC, i also dunno which Maguire.. but i need to find something that can clean up those stubborn stain and scratches after i wash my car.
Because even after i wash the car, i still can see a green/grey layer of stain on the clear coat which cannot be clean up.

Now i send it to the car wash center, after they wash clean the car, they will help me to polish with some white compond + micro fiber cloth.
They just put some white compound on the micro fiber cloth and the wipe on the car surface..

After polish, the grey layer gone and the clear coat become shinning & smooth, and then cloth become very dark. Do you know what compound is they use?

What product should i get?
