wei KC gip me ur contact la...

today i went to ampang, and saw a shop name called brother, or something like that, 5shop lot combine together i think.
i went inside and find some car waxing, unfortunately i found 1 brand named waxco or something like that. wanna know is it a reliable brand? or does anyone know that shop? and recommend which wax is better?

anyone selling PGClaybar for light colour car? my area only sell Meg(freaking expensive) aduh..

KC, whenever you talk about using ONR, you mention about using only three microfibers. Is three really enough to prevent any marring to the paint? On a car with light road film, after doing a panel the MF turns black already. I find that I need 5-6 MFs to ONR the whole car. If you find that three is enough, I don't mind at all using less cloth hehe...

from personal experinece, My usage of MF depends on the situation that i have at hand, i believe KC's 3 MF advice is just a guide for us to at least have 1 to wash & 2 to dry...things can change & the variables are: how big is your vehicle, how dirty is it, and how many MF you are willing to buy for car wash...also boils down to your own way of doing things and feeling comfortable doing the car wash

i have to admit i still hose down my car before i use ONR although unnecessary, i am still old school as i want to get rid of dust, sand & dirt from the surface before doing the wash with ONR, after washing i will just wipe dry without rinsing..and i am comfortable doing it this way... and using 3 MF is just about right for me..

just about 2 weeks back i was trying to wet sand my entire surface using 1500grit - 2000grit sandpaper to remove orange peel. the wet sand process was bad at 1st cause im not using any sand block, my fingers applied different pressure on the surface and caused really deep scratches (samurai sword slashes around) after i purchased the sand block, i found out i can sand evenly with really nice haze on it and start to compound using M105 like usually how i do on other people cars. after compounded with M105 + wool the clarity appeared in seconds, like usually. then thought moving to cutting but i used halogen tripod to check it out 1st, i was really got shocked when there is swirls appeared on the surface. i told myself which steps i did wrong and caused swirls? really tiny one and look ugly. i stopped immediately and do more research later on cause i have tried many times and still fail.


this was took with led torch light


really tiny one that only can spotted under the sun or halogen light

after all the research i did on the net, i found my problem the swirls is actually micro-marring, maybe cause of the M105 is too abrasive. alot people commented how to remove it bla bla bla, make me so confused. i only believe one thing which is using non-abrasive polish to remove it and i decided to give it a shot. i choosed OHP with a double sided foam pad.





my the other surface look like this..

and then after multiple compounded become like this..

well, learn from the beginning and master it. 50/50 shots after polishing.

and finishing..



finally i did and and feel so relief, i was thought im gonna drive swirls out under the sun. thank god i archive the result i want. i will still continue to gloss up my car by wet sanding and will post more pictures in future. stay tune!


thanks for viewing again :driver::driver::driver:

Sifus here can help me?
My car is badly damaged by a no name detailer. I  got stubborn stain that cannot use nail to remove as well. Now my car got spot of scratches and even the car 5 glass is scratched. I suspect the use of something abrasive like scotch-brite. I know paint is still salvageable if using buffing machine but how about the glass?

KC i sms u the other day but u din reply me...

where do you guys get those halogen spot lights that i see in the pictures ? i saw it at Ace Hardware RM89.90 for two head spot light. is this cheap or can you guys point me to where i can get it cheaper..

im lookin for a basic machine to start my adventure , currently using a piece of crap b&d kp600 .. can't really do the job properly -.- please suggest ? lookin for moderate pricing not the expensive makita prices.. if they are good..

any pic?
ehh - i did & infact I resend my reply earlier today

pls chk it out
ACE - get the single one & change the halogen to 300Watt

as the original 500watt is for BBQ

i came across a few people doing DIY mods to their kp600.. where do i get the suitable pads for light swirl and scratch removal and polishing ? here is a link to what this guy did..

where to get those meguiars pads that can be attached by velcro?

honestly i have no choice but to do this cause of my budget.. wish for a makita.. but can't - plan to try do the mod above after i get back to my hometown..

KC,

thanks 300w instead right ? besides ACE would smaller shops have the lamp for a cheaper price?
