Leng lui ... if polish oso can't means ur scratch quite deep d so no point polish oredi coz it'll oni make ur paint thinner ... either live with it or get it re-sprayed ...

Bird poo ... once u got it on ur car ... immediately get out and wipe it off wif at least a wet tissue or sumthing ... NEVER leave it overnight!!

Avoid parking under Mango trees as well ... the sap will leave souvenirs for u too ...

Claying basically removes those tough grimes on ur car eg: water mark, tar, bonded dirt with wax etc ...

After wash oni u clay den wash den polish den wax den wax n wax ... most is 3 layers lo

if u can't tahan do urself ... get ur bf to do it for u ... if no bf u can alwiz fish 1 here ... if ur not into guys den can pay some detailers to do it for u lo

Yo detailing kakis ... how ya doing?!! Missed out quite a lot since i went MIA ... ehehe

wahh .... meg's naik harga d meh?

Use claying n c got effect o not ...den use ColorX on it ... den wax it ... shud heal it more la if cant completely fix it

yeahh
The 1 u got is simaliar to ColorX, it heals the oxidize paint on ur car n it DOESN'T clean as much as it shud. AFAIK ColorX has a lil wax component in it as well ...

For clay, if u refer to the Soft99, there's 2 types, u buy depending on ur car coat. There's 1 for metallic and another i forgot .. i use the light green 1 for my black CT ... Meg's is not bad as well ... but a bit costly

Egie ... u wanna know when ur car needs claying? When u wash ur car .. try feeling her body with ur fingers ... feel her everywhere ... n IF u FEEL ANY surface which is rough or "not smooth" den u NEED claying .. Sorry to break it to ya ... though waxing is good but usually dirt bonds with wax .. there for even u wax a lot the chances of bonded dirt is there ... worst still it gets cover n "protected" by a new wax job ... so i would suggest a good clay n polish n wax session la

BTW, for any detailing shop, make sure they use MF cloths for buffing n drying ...

Yeap .... SOFT99 ... i dun remember got clay o not:p but u can ask them la ... Eneous has em

Me oso learning la ... no sifu ... share share nia

It's part of a car's life ma More scars on a man's body last time more manly ... nowadays i even c some guys skin more smooth den girls :-& ... apala .. out of topic pulak

Anyway stonechip are are too avoid la ... sumtimes no matter how careful u r lo ... so we detail and "hide" it as much as we can lorr .... if can't ma ... live wif it lorrr

no la .... keep for rim n tyres lo

swirls can be fixed after a good detailing session lor ...

stone chips are best to be touched up wif paint lo ... if dowan DIY ma go to sum detailer n they'll do it up nicely for u ... but alwiz remember ur paint code as well ... bear in mind no matter how the paint will differ a lil esp on aged cars as paint will oxidize as time past so a slight discolouration is expected but not alwiz noticeable by the eye la

cleaner wax is sumthing like ColorX but more wax component in it i think ...

But NXT TW and Gold class Wax are both pure wax wif no cleaner elements ... These both differ in terms of chemical content in it ... both have their reputation ...

I heard Gold class bring more gloss ... but so far megs#21 still d one for me

Wah ... weekly ka ... u make sure ur paint body clean lo ... eg: do claying 1st ...

I still recommend Megs #21 but NXT Techwax oso not bad ... Gold class of coz good as well ... cleaner wax not much protection also ...

BTW ppl wax for u ka? If not tangan sure patah

Nice reply ... almost forgotten about quick detailers ... ... much for better and cost efective as well

egie .. old uncle got bring young gurl in the car o not? ... Rich daddies nowadays have chun "companions" lerr

erm ... a word of caution ... the dish washing liquid will strip a lot more den juz wax ... so best juz stay away frm that la ... IMHO la .. plus its usually a 1 off thing if u use dish liquid ...

normal wash den clay den wash den polish will do

Clay removes quite a lot o stuff ... try it to believe it ...

well .... its ok but not very effective lo ... for the wax to last, proper surface prep is really needed ...

Spray wax are usually use between wash n wax ... to put it easier to understand ... after u wax ur car ... coming weeks u juz wash ur car n touch up ur wax wif the spray wax ... coz usually u oni wax ur car once a months or mayb longer ... unless u like egie lo ... got ppl do for him

although new car, it is usually left outside the showroom and rain n sun already done a bit of the damage ... so the best is actually to clean the surface eg: clay den oni u wax lo ...

juz my 2cents ...

yalor ... eh egie .... can pinjam tat service ka? .... i supply the ingredients den u provide the services for me la

my request damn simply oni 1 ...

juz wash den clay den wash den ScratchX den ColorX den Meg#21 den after 6 hrs 2nd layer Meg#21 ...

den my car can leave for the next 6-10 months d

ehehe .... true true ... depends price ... but also depend they use MF cloths o not ... ahaha ... so far i alwiz lepak JJ but notice those 2 car wash oso never use MF cloth lerr ...

JJ Wangsa Maju? ... which 1? the AutoGlym or the CarSumthing (yellow colour area) ...

ahahaa ... if u got the strength to do so ... no 1 can stop u

For me I oni do certain parts of the car coz by the time i'm done ... i'm half dead ... considering the fact there's ColorX and 2x #21 sessions to come

Autospa service quality so so oni ... remember to inspect the details when u pay so much

For the car u have ... takper la ... ucan afford the car of coz can afford the pampering sessions

for those who can afford den go spa lor .. for those cant afford ma buy those products off the shelf and spa at your home toilet lorr

since when i become DIY detailing king? me oso amature la ... learning oso ...

try the 1 in seksyen 14 ... near dutch lady 1 ... Autodetailers ...

wah .... detailing forum back alive!!

Agreed ... if u cant do it properly by urself ... send to some1 capable of doing a good job ...

Poyo ... not bad ah ur work ...

Yeap .. I would also agree tat autospa is crappy n the service there is not as good as it is. I would also recommend autodetailer in SS2. Learnt a lot of detailing tips from them in another forum.
