overseas definitely cheaper but better watch out - no after sales service - how if machine kong'

maikta is the only proven machine

your paint has a very poor preps prior repainted

2way u can try - rotary cuts with wool (optimum hyper spray compound)

if can remove - wet sand it & buff off with wool (OHSC)

I will PM u the OHP

Most welcome. Had fun that day especially the end where the kids were helping detail the vans and demo car.

Flex is very nice! Even a kid can use it.... biggrin.gif

My buddy Joe with the flex...

But still, for ultimate cutting power the rotary is still unbeatable. With the right pads, products and technique the rotary can finish just as well.

The brand new Optimum pads really impressed with the Optimum Hyper Polish. I never expected it to finish that well especially since the car was being used as a demo car for those that were attending to practice on. First time rotary users and the finish is hologram free....

pls meet me
i will asses yr paint


DA is dual action the cheapest in Malaysia is about 7++ close to 800 (cant do severe rids & swirls or severe damage paint restorations - as it is oscilating - that where u need a rotary -
the same amount of money i can get a makita which is all you need for the rest of your life


we did 3 test with 2 diffrent machine mainly ROTARY vs DA
what we did was to segregate a few areas to test out the product & how it react over certain machine reaction

1st area for waxing with rotary - how road side polish wax job is to be done
user posted image

2nd area with Dual Action polisher
user posted image
our pro - detailer

3rd contestant on rotary - with optimum hyper spray compound

user posted image

RESULTS REVEALING


1st area Wax with china make rotary???
user posted image
hologram was visible once we remove the wax

2nd area consumer range product

after
user posted image
visible cuts is still there

moving on the 3rd area -done with optimum hyper spray compound through out till finishing - with makita
wool - cutting pad- polishing pad - finishing pad


one product finish - OPTIMUM HYPER SPRAY POLISH
user posted image



remember to bring yr pen & paper the next time when ever you join a detailing lesson making sure
trials of gold nuggets are written down

I am very blessed - to be received some lab test product from Doc G, Optimum USA

user posted image

another innovative product by Doc G,
user posted image

optimum double sided pad & double sided wool - freshly flown at the right time for this detail


moving to paint issue - some minor paint pigmentations & undefined paint (paint with no clarity or definitions)

user posted image

more swirls accumulated over the past decade


the most wonderful part of the innovation is - there is only 2 steps polish and finish

1st with wool & then foam pad

unlike my last detail & all the other - cut with wool, the continue with cutting pad, then polishing pad & finishing pad...and see for yourself

before

Thanks to KC i've gotten addicted to detailing !

Just got my products from him a few days back and i've already did claying and etc..

He is a very knowledgeable guy and he isn't selfish cause he shares his experiences and knowledge ! Real nice guy to talk to !

Hehe you should know who am i smile.gif

Bro btw , could you recommend me a lasting and silky finish polish ( liquid or paste ) nothing more than 80bucks ? Currently using Turtle Wax Super Hard Shell Paste Polish w/ Black & Decker kp600 - sorry no money to go buy a rotary and proper polish yet had to work with what i had in the house hehe..

For the wax layer i'll be using OCW , should be okay right if i get a nice layer of Polish under the OCW ? smile.gif

If the layer of wax has some sort of stain such as didn't dry and it touched water what do i do ? Re-apply wax ? or Re-apply polish and wax ?

Thanks.

hahahaha

i am not sure - but roughly i can guess, as i meet quite a few people & answers dozen of calls a day
thanks buddy for your kind words - really appreciate yr encouragement

for once i was like u in quest of the knowledge & non of the car wash guys willing to share.....& i brought lots of OTC any newly came out stuff by trial & error ....an expensive lesson - so much so - products was left to spoilt - as over due storage.....be very smart - esp starting from nxt month , as Govt has hinted that the cost of living with me escalating - sky soaring

now spending wisely & thriftily - frugal if possible, exp from a father of 3 rclxub.gif

i am glad you finally gave yourself a change to learn car detailing & took a big step of faith - so much so u leap over yr fear & into yr success

car detailing should not be burdensome & expensive - i find real joys in caring for it, as I work and toil for it....just did some major repair - doh.gif

Congrats on yr successful claying - and you finally managed to remove all the coarse like stains on yr upper paint


now u need to protect it with wax, may it be paste or liquid or spray - the key is regularly....not once 2 years or lifetime

For it takes a regular regiment of discipline to maintain yr car

I would use Opti seal -
the one sealant - one that protect not only yr paint but plastic, vinyl , mirror , esp front wind screen (safety + does not jagged yr silicon wiper - as it cos hundreds of $ to replace) easy to apply (again 10-15 minutes per car ) only need 3-4 times a year + cos effective (cost of a roti naan per applications) - just spray on , wipe off & walk away last 3-4 months

then top on OCW - another 5 minutes spray on & wipe off - then walk away - so so easy & effortless

Lets organise a LYN car detailing TT next month & we will get u on the real thing - paint correction

hey KC....whats the best ways to clean white rims?.....white rims are easily contacts with brake dust and dirt from external. Also i understand that white rims over the years will start to age and will turn yellow. is there any way to prevent this...are there any similar steps like detailing bodywork?
