wax will seal those dots!!! use clay lo...


satigue: i'll do it tomolo, new year eve. haha...will ty to post some pics here. already changed to pearl white color can stated pearl and metallic. i'll wash the wheels with armor all wheel clean, then send the car for cleaning, then come back clay, minor polish and wax. hope the result would be good from the tips of all sifus here.

btw, do i really need to control the movement during clay, polish and wash? cannot do random direction? me using hand only. no machine. thanks. =P

spike, no special movement la. when apply wax, use circular motion la. clay any direction also doesn't matter but make sure no sand or dirt in d clay.
eh...not stainless steel can meh? how come pearl white can?

hahaha...saturday i detailed the whole damn day. bout 10 hours.
the wax is written pearl and metallic. so i get that one lo. the result not bad. dunno really got swirl or not (cos the car never detail before this for a year plus) might have some old scratches...

the problem is some part like parts below the screen water spray area i waxed twice. but din do smooth enough. haha...so hard to control the uniformity with hand. but it is not very apparent (only certain angles and pay extreme attention then u can see) cos i used meguairs detailer to detail the surface once more.

btw, i nearly finished the whole bottle of meguair quick detailer that comes with the clay (still left 1/5). haha...mayeb used too much.

edit: oh ya, it is really super smooth after i clay. haha..but huge tars that died in hard to remove liaw. not even polish could remove them. nvm la. hehe...

Has anyone had experience with Carnauba Autospa before? They've just opened up a branch (i presume its a branch) in Jalan Tun Razak and they're charging RM130 for 3-step polishing. They're using Zymol products. Any comments guys?
