Hi Kc,

Yea im thinking of rotary aswell, but in the end, im not gonna use it often as I only want to work on my own car and perhaps siblings/parents car. Tried to look for 2nd hand unit but not available.

Still undesicive on getting DA or Rotary. Perhaps then next time u organize a rotary clinic i can join just to get the 'feel' and acquire the necessary techniques of it.

Makita is Rm900 right plus all the backing plate & plate should be around 1K+ also? How much will the Dodo Juice Buff Daddy be? Would you recommend the Dodo for a newbie on machine detailing>?

thanks kc

HI Buddy
glad u share yr inner quest

like what i explaine above , a marginal of 200 only - why want to get a toy when u get a real thing

Rotary can do what DA does, but DA cant go the the extreme rotary does

Save up & get only Makita & i have help over dozen people to get their makita - in all those pics & we are building a Detailing community & not commercially

dont miss out for far too long

1:8 is a good dilution & safe - but u cant use till it is dry ( wipe off with damp MF) \

how often? or rather i will ask why so often? - 2 answer is there children ? or did you protect it with Leather protectant or Conditioner (PURE- not another 2in 1product)

the different of Meg & optimum = Just like POS & SLR -( consumer & professional) it is often use to do a professionally




BOTH -
i use it on both my 22 yrs old car & exotic like 997




never ever play with corrosive chemicals - i do not agree even the usage of degreaser or Super deg.....worst still amonia's Rxxx-X, highly acidic corrosive like topcat

ask those who have tried on a older windscreen...lots of issue...lets show some pic...that we may know what u r facing

i do have glass polisher - for water mark - wanna give it a try

No I dont have kids, but somehow the leather gets dirty on everyday use basis. especially the 2 front seats.
I'm applying leather cleaner and conditioner every 2 weeks. While It has delayed the time for it to turn grey, but its not preventing it.

Hi bro

you do not need to clean yr leather seats that often - as it will leave a dry & coarse texture of your leather
generally every detailer will suggest do it when necessarily but however there are certain measure of precaution & maintenance routines ....we can do is
-

do a weekly or bi -monthly wipe down with damp microfibers (just plain water) will be great & condition it every 2-3 once (i only deep clean every 6-12 months once) - at time i just use my steamers - to open up the leather pores

the greatest enemy of leather is oil, sweat from human & food etcs (the most acidic - corrosive substance to your leather) remember for once they are a living organism but not is preserve for yr comfort & plushy

so, if found any oil just wipe down with damp mf..... and my 11 yrs old leathers seat still gives me the comfort ...nothing like leather - genuine comfort

have fun enjoying yr journey ya & not wasting time to slave for it....

allow me to share with u
filthy interior - usually seen in chauffeur driven ride - but just a 3 years old ride only
close up & under proper lighting picture on a E60



extreme close up lighted picture ( to show you how filthy & neglected this ride is)
cant u believe the oils, stains, dirt just left it there

heavily soil leather seats

a 50% /50% seats detailing picture



i use power clean to remove old dash dressings and tough residues from interior panels. Wipe away spills and spots from leather seats. Special polymers and emulsifiers break down contaminants with minimal agitation





extreme close up



the leather seats & interior is protected & condition with Optimum protectant plus


gives your car’s leather complete protection and a low-gloss, non-greasy finish – all in a convenient spray!her Protectant cleans and protects leather seats, vinyl, trim, and moldings. The innovative protectant provides impenetrable UV protection and restores the original color of interior surfaces


I want to replaces those preservative chemicals and restores the leather and vinyl to optimum condition without leaving an oily, shiny film. Your interior looks new, not dressed.

Thanks mate. Yeap im looking at something like that. Since Powerclean can and will remove the dirt, im just concerned if it can be used say 9-12 months once.. Well seems like you have re-assured me that it is safe enough.

Mng

Haha. thanks mate. I dont have any macro lens at the moment. Not a big fan of macro. So im just using my kit-lens for close up shots.

wow buddy...u just got magical clicks - i love yr scenic & close up - what about we organised a detail photograph workshop to benefits others

KC, any guide to how to use ONR in Malaysian weather? Like... what is your actual dilution ratio? US or imperial gallons? Do you rinse first before you use ONR?

look at the hologram on the lids of the front left hood…..brand new car with defect paint delievered – not even sent for any polish

one of my buddy who got a brand new Inspira wanted me to detail…and I asked him to come along to my detailing clinic last sunday & see what we are doing …as much as I would like to detail his ride but I rather choose to train & empower him to on his own.............




what is hologram? Authenticity of master or visa credit card emblem?????? but is is a trial left behind by rotary buffer in the wrong hand

Birds dropping are the most acidic & corrosive treats to our clear coat paint


if delayed intervention & baked under our extreme hot weather – ta da’- permanent damaged


another paint damage


just because it is white & quite impossible to get is maintain white


BTW this is only a 2 months + 308....look at the close up .....on the rids, swirls & damages inflicted by the wrong hands


it took me close to 25 hours to get this corrected & opti coat-ed

at the end of the day - nobody care for your care more than yrself - cos your are the true owner - rest of them is paid to do

KC, Josh here. bila charity detailing, i wanna attend =)

may i ask wad product provide the best water beading effect?consumer product of coz. currently using NXT tech wax, but not really satisfy with it..or do i need to apply 'thicker'.. i apply thin layer only.thanks.
and can ONR replace UQD/UQW? ONR got better results rite?

anytime buddy

Added on April 12, 2011, 10:29 amhi buddy

it depend on which aspect of water beading you are looking at .....lasting or more spherical ?

how lasting would lasting? 30 days or 3 months? the important key question we need to ask ourself here is how long does it takes us to wax our car , cos that will determine how often we are gonna do it...eg ...if a regular patse wax requires 2-3 hours just put on & buff off....chances are we will avoid & skip or once in a blue blue moon - if i were to tell you that there is a wax that requires just 5 minutes - chances are you will do it weekly..i rather sacrifice the wax than my clear coat

a thin layer....one layer will do...good preparation is the key to a lasting wax (like proper wash, clay-ed, contaminations free prior waxing)....so there is no point of applying 58 layers when there is the only the 1st application is the only layer holding on to your car paint

ONR can replace - infact it is a cheaper solution to QD & UQD (imagine 2 ounces makes one bottle of them) a 32oz makes 16 bottle of them

do it effortlessly & rightly - yr ride will shines for years to come

If I buy Kit wash and wax product then wash and wax myself, would the result be better than normal RM10 car wash shop?

I park my white color car outside and no roof, how often should I clean and wax with Kit to maintain the body and paint?

Thanks.

better than sending to be thrashed by others

recommended a weekly wash & a monthly wash

Added on April 13, 2011, 10:55 pmhow do you deal with stone chips???

stone chips

dont we already have enough threats from mothernature on our paint





such as these - is this a mother nature or Human error???
before pic


now
ta da




more chips - BEFORE


MAGICALLY YOURS


another threats - improper car wash
threats inflicted professional by car washes (or road side ones)


SWIRLS is usually inflicted by our habits & the wrong way of handling washing , also techniques (wrong way of shampooing - circulating) & material used - such as sponges, worn out mitts/microfibers, drying cloth - cotton cloth - old rags, old t-shirts, jeans la....etcs...as our clear coat is only 2/1000th part of an inch

therefore I make it a point to change my Microfibers once every 3-4 months to prevent

after compounding - with OPTIMUM Hyper Spray Compound with LC Double sided wool

Sure no one want to pay money for other to thrash own car, and certainly not thrashing it themselves. Just want to have simple and minimum maintenance cost to keep it clean... I see many products price high high ones...
