cheap & good stuff

only u need megs aloe to compliment it

will pm u

Most carnuba waxes lasted about 2-3 weeks the most...IMHO....protection is protection & PREPS is the key to succeed yr detailing....

wax is just 10% of the total detailing & washing maybe another 10%

the rest of it...still fall back to your prep work......if u are building a house....roof is the last thing u put on to protect


your foundation is the most important...structure.....beams.....wall & ceiling... PREPARATIONS


the 5 steps.....only when u have properly prepare yr paint ...now u protect.....hand polish cant remove swirls, neither waxes removes stain....


check out my black.....after rain meguiars USA


.


wax is just wax

Sealant is sealant...

polish is polish

clay is clay

compound is compound

QD is QD

if u do not flow with it ......it will not bring out the best of it



WAX doesnt need much time to cure...maybe 30minutes

sealant does at least 8 hours.


UQD at least overnite

so there is no point to apply 100 layers of wax.sealant & QDs..when it is not prep properly.....it is like putting makeup without washing & neglecting the rest of the days & weeks


extreme detailing HERE !!!!!!!!

sorry buddy

i miss out the
3 in 1 ....is good....but certainly it will not last as long as just pure waxes.......

the cleaner have the cleaning power, polish is polish & both don't have protection power

now when u add yr wax inside these two ....it became a very handy product...use any time i want for quick detail...but durability is my next question.....


to my observations......I use alot of all in one products...some of which already blown the American detailer......& i usually protect it with wax or sealant

& top up with UQD...(i am using the body shop version M135)


see what they say about megs PRC (aio aka 3in 1)

A rare jewel.........BMW E46 convertables M3 thats come with the BMW phone

yes...but come on yr black rock.....keep it by washing it carefully...& it is not what u applied but how u maintain....once a year of once a week maitainance of once a month'.....i have an exotic car owner weekly spend 6 hours & ended up swriling the car like crap ///////// crab//////// fill in the blanks....over o & with the wrong product...he used rubbing compound on the paint...ultimately the paint died

YES the answer lies in the solvent issue....VOC compliance .... if u have done enough detailing or hang enough n international sites long enough....BMW has the worst orange peel....dont take my words..... The germans is taking this issue strongly, so resulting OP OP OP & all over the world BMW onwer facing this issue

new car free orange peel


it looks like the dimples of an orange peel. BMW's are getting worse with each generation

BMW EACH GENERATION GETTING WORST OP


Each year, automotive manufacturers spend the equivalent of millions of Euro dollars on measuring the paint surface defect known as `orange peel'. This paper uncovers the near invisibility of orange peel to customers and questions the need for this expenditure on on-line orange peel measurement. Face-to-face survey techniques were used to establish that customers either did not perceive the paint feature known as orange peel as detrimental to a surface or could not differentiate between surfaces with differing amounts of orange peel. This leads to the suggestion that assumptions made about the need to measure orange peel could be examined, and, if measurement is found to be unnecessary, costs in the automotive industry could be reduced.

BUT who cares?????...only obssesive complussive disorder Detailer....see that imperfection...to a day to day consumer...drivers...who cares what is swirls ...hologram....but to us..this is paint defects


As for my beloved IXORA owner. MY strong recomendation is this..if u are thinking of show casing yr car in a museum or show room...i wld suggest to do a complete sand down ...if it is a DD....& u can leave with it..otherwise u need thousand of ringgit $$$$$$??? to repaint it..just continue to care for it...& detail it

IF ppl suggest u to sand down yr car & removed ...just dont be nuts....very soon u will see the bones......CC premature failures

IF others says they can compund & polish off.....I doubt his skill & judgement....

Last 8 months i have done a series over a hundred cars...from light to heavy correction...& we have been posting all over the world forum to complete with others international detail

check out what the UK says about my wet sand thread PLS chk out the authenticity
Acidised Civic - Corroded Clear coat challenge (Multi-page thread 1 2 3 ... Last Page)
. kc's over 5,610 viewer


and same goes with merc...honda...toyota....lexus.....perodua....& almost of...but the champion is BMW


also one of our Malaysia sifu started off just like Enthusiast , got his work featured in US Meguiars New letter...I believe the 1st Malaysian Achieved it....so like what adidas says....IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING" & good old nike ...will remind u of JUST DO IT.....

lets continue to strive to detail of ride better

tackling orange peel problem

Hey buddy

Nice to hear from u

Kep up the detailing .....as for the roof above stains...u may try swirls X .....by hand...

let me know if u need any help


Cheers

i guess that is the most expensive cloth u will ever get.....its a human skin & thats yours....i use too do like that initially ...till i found the correct method.....the old school of thoughts is 2 bucket wash ...1 bucket of soapy water & another bucket of water to rinse yr microfibers or wash mith,,,,problem is this...very trouble some & required long time

now i discover ONR optimum no rinse wash...i can still wash my car without rinsing it all over again after my shampooing-- all i need is diluting 1 ounce of ONR bo rinse solution (not soapy at all) & then 8 litre of waters....i can wash liow with 3 micro fibers

1st to soak into the ONR bucket & 2nd & 3rd microfibers to wipe dry... initially i read the same thing i type now...hard to belive but ...till i tried it now....i know
i always do a50/50 comparission

the side that is not ONR washed water still retained there..but the side i wash the ware just beads down...

i will post u some pic


thanks u r right..the least aggressive method is the safest method

sure i will pM u

siorry for late reply ya

yupp

actually what causes swirls is the cloth we used, the frictions

just be generous in changing them,.,,3 sets at least per yr rather than spending thousand of $$$ just to respray

2 thing here
what do u mean by fail lighting test?

ANY CLOSE UP PICS?

rotary is rotary profesional polishing machine can be quite damnaging....Black & decker is orbitor

look at this 5 series, just arrive from UK...plenty of swirls & the dealer try to cover it by sending it to polish & hologram aka burnt mark from the rotary spinning (look like yr cc hologramming , it moves as the light shinines)


after 13 of heavy correction by Rotary


FOR REST OF THE WRITE UP BY READ HERE

another damaged....done while my friend sent to a professional shop to remove water stains & swirls....paint got burned (chipped)


GAVE SOME LESSON TO THE OWNER & later on HE DID ON HIS CAR...and corrected the rest


ANOTHER DAMAGED

HERE

but nevertheless it is not very hard just need some guidance & proper directions

let me know if u r interest to try hands on
here are some of my olders tools

here

one of the latest we corrected 20 hours

look at the 50% / 50% WE DID ON a GT3 rear wings


yes agreed....try avoid sponge

wanna to know how can u wash without rinsing
