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...

hi buddy
i miss your post earlier...my apologies

you need to understand - what can & cant!
there are so many consumers - who never goes beyond labels(just pick up whatever that is pleasing when they go shopping in enos or ace's !!!
then applied this la & that la - ended up worse than before - eg tom cat????? they are very acidic - so much so the moment u applied on these scuff area - ta ta ...often cant be remove

eg
glass is the hardest part of the exterior other than your rims - if you got a deep cut / scratches - chances u need to replace them or if it not obvious - ignore them

if it is water marks...i got solution for u - a professional glass polish - not another OTC - products ( i dont sell but if you want to try - come & join my hands on session - details on my blog


QUOTE(selangorclay @ Apr 17 2011, 12:45 PM)
what is this "sheepskin wash mitts" ? what is the comparable product in malaysia?
*
mitts are make for washing, a very popular product - in the older days ( same goes with sponges, terry cotton) but they are easily worn out after few washes or entraps too much dirt ( if these dirt is not clean & remove properly - it will carry off to the next wash & scratches yr paint)

therefore since MF is widely & technologically advance make & cheaply available - it is the most current cloth of all detailers are using world wide...but sad sad to say - many of our car washes still using them

eg....using rotary to wax yr car????? does any wax label stated u must use machine or rotary sat 3000rpm spins to wax yr car???/ wax is wax just applied on & buff off - (apply in cool surface & tips a thin layer - wait 30 mins buff off) dont do it under then sun.....but many baked their customer car under our 36degrees natural oven

eg...many ladies or aunties are using 4g Iphone but how many of them are using free calls??????
such an advance state of art changgeh device but they are only making voice call or web browsing onli

they are Skype - myvee free wifi calls - this prove a majority Malaysian doesn't really bother about the usage / functions which is make for but to show off

what is the use having such technology savvy gadgets ....we too need to continuously ...updates ourself

see what these american , european or germans are doing - emulate their success

can but very expensive try out for just a consumer range products -
I recommend u to try ONR (1 ounces + 7 litres water) + 3 microfibers to wash yr car in 20 minutes

dilute 2 ounces of onr into a 500 ml of water & clay (PG clay 29.00) which is 4 times cheaper than megs

Look at what i found
Chewing Gums like tars stains

I choose the least aggressive way.....

TARS
the most easy & effortless...effective....safe.... tar remover

only scratches left - to be polish off

TAR education - TIPs
user posted image
whenever after any 2 x 2 feet area clayed - we should stop & check for any Visible sighted contaminants - such as tars, dust, sands or brake dust

Note
Failing to do such - you might transferred A to B & contaminate another area with scratches..etcs...

STOP! In the name of Love - before you hurt me!!!

user posted image

remove them prior folding to a new area & continue to clay the next area

lastly can u wax yr car in 5 minutes & in USA they guarantee a 4-5 months durability strength

btw an ONR wash is only rm2.5( the same amount of soap u spent on yr car & cloths & body - cos after a wet car wash of 150 litres of waters + 10 minutes bath + another sets of clothing = more wastage esp in time


now i spent less & have more resources for other things

somebody PLEASE CALL POLICE + dont do it...stop & do some homework searching
once kena & u say say bye bye - cost u more money & time to replace them

water mark can be remove temporary by polishing or compounding with hands or machines but it will resuface back after months

what i use is opti coating it for permanent

for those who is interest to learn & to be trained - pls look out at the details of my next hands on detailing charity sess on my blog

yeah, I think KC has it. If the Swirlx is too mild, may have to move up a little step...ScratchX perhaps? This also depends on the type of pad you use.

I will recommend UC. U can just skip SwirlX.. To me, is the most overrated Meguiar's product..

Use MF pad, cutting strength is far stronger than sponge pad.. smile.gif
