for the newly paint car and not from the OEM paint I bet we can wet sand the whole car right KC? since normally non OEM new paint is more thicker and alot of margin to play with. right now I just dont know to what extend, what preasure on the wet sanding. is it just good enough for a few pass wet sand with light preassure or one pass wet sand with a lot of pressure.

normally i use the pressured water machine that my father bought it, normally use at car wash place. i use the machine and wash my car, after that i use the car shampoo to wash using sponge. And then i use the machine to wash it off with a lower pressure(turn the pipehead). After everything is clean then i use a microfiber cloth and normal pipe water to rinse every part of my car to ensure no dirt left. Is it ok i using this way? and 1 more question, can i wax my car few time a row? like, first wax>clean>2nd wax>clean>3rd wax>clean? Sorry for my noob question, after i bough a new car, i very well appreciate the car. so my question might be a bit troublesome =( This post has been edited by jobneed: Jun 5 2011, 06:06 AM |

I think my wetsanding is "light and gentle" since I barely see any difference in minimizing the orange peel effect. some more using the DA. i think DA+wool cutting power is not good as to rotary+wool. what do you think KC? later i put the pics.
to be honest to remove the swirl from the wetsand using DA is pain in the ass. it takes forever to remove the scratch. the scratch is still lightly visible under strong light. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

Wow that a cool guide. I like your blog, the way you explain with full of pics really make things clear. and by the way i do waxing 1 layer almost every week, just that when holiday or have a day free then i might do it 3 layer waxing. and yeah, do i really have to use the clay actually? coz normal i pressured wash>clean>pressured wash>wash>wipe. never tried clay yet. so is it really have to use clay for a more cleaner process? i scare i might scratch my car because of my minor mistakes. oh ya, by the way KC, where do you bought those car cleaning stuffs such as wax? coz i think i want to buy a more trust able brand wax and car wash liquid. any suggestion for wax brand and car wash liquid brand as well for the place to buy it, cant really find at cheras.
