mav3rick: he is selling 1.1k for the G110v2 and a good 100W step down converter is in the range of RM300 (I guess), so I am not interested in that. The effect will be the same, just make sure you get a good transformer.

I was interested only in his 710W DA because it is cheap, but I cannot get much details and there was only 1 user review. Too bad he is in Terengganu else I can have some hands on to decide. Without the proper review and testing, I decide not to go ahead.

Later on, I manage to get some quotes for sea shipping from UK, which open up alot of possibility. So now I am trying to decide between DAS6PRO and G220v2 which is in the affordable range.

KrisMas, I have been using a lot of power tools (grinder, drill etc) and non failed yet so I didn't think much of about warranty haha. But you are right, those power tools are not that expensive. But I am definitely not paying RM1650 for something that is sold for less than 1k overseas. With that price I can buy 2 in case the first one spoil LOL. If I get the G110V2 from US I can buy 3. LOL

Ultramate, this one a? http://maxgloss.com/shopping/pgm-more_information.php?id=2

jetmanxx: every car wash center is different, I strongly suggest you go to one that has good review or recommended. Don't go in to be a lab mice just because it is cheap. When done wrong, a car polishing session can do alot of damage to the paint.

as for our hobby, you must ask yourself if you enjoy washing your car. If yes, then we can expand from there into wax, polish and etc. If you feel it is a chore to even just wash, better ask someone else to do it smile.gif Other than the money, it takes alot of time.

QUOTE(Johannas @ Feb 4 2013, 12:10 PM)
Is it possible to apply one layer of carbauba wax, leaving it for ~2hours and then applying another layer of synthetic polymer wax? Will it make a difference?

apply topper wax on sealant, because sealant last longer. If you do it the other way around, your complete coating will be gone as soon as the wax is gone as the sealant sit on top of the wax.

I normally leave my sealant for 1/2 day and wax for a full day to cure. To cure ok, don't leave it that long to haze/buff, you will cry LOL.

If you are using product that has online support, like duragloss and mess, you can drop them an email to ask.

Easier is you tell us what product you are going to use rather than a generic term such as wax, sealant, syntactic and organic. Now adays there are too many all in one product that doesn't work as the name describe. For example, we have a dura gloss product meant for boat that everyone happily apply on their car. We also have a some wax that Is pure bullshit and do not offer any uv protection at all.

Anyway, back yo your question, if your car is dark color you will love carnauba wax. It gives depth, not just shine.
