It's nothing serious but thanks for the concerns Quazacolt.

good to know

Thanks bro.. my first night parking outside my office.. and I can tell you the Mother's carnauba wax are really working! Most importantly it's so easy to apply. okok later i curi curi pay a visit to ACE hardware again. i got the WAX from Ace hardware also.

Bro... Regarding the Fusco soft 99 polish wax? Dorno i got it right or not.. It seems to be quite dangerous for a newbie like me to use no? Very harsh when I'm doing the buffing on my paint and give it a try on my PG Sealant and it's much better.. I mean for a noob like me I'm afraid i would use it wrongly and hurt the paint.. More over it has a strong scent of methane?
Do you have any recommendation of Polish which is easy to apply and not that hard to buff it off the car?

mothers product at my place. jaya33 to be exact looks kinda old stock.. bottle kinda fade and looks old

I don't quite understand what you mean by 'harsh'. Furthermore, Fusso Coat is one of the line in Soft99 brand and there's many products under the Fusso Coat line. Which one did you use? Can grab a picture of it from the net?

But, in general, I do find that a few Fusso Coat line do smell like they contain lots of solvent. That is a good thing actually since the solvent will help to 'chemically clean' the surface whilst leaving a layer of protection behind when you're applying it. And, in general for Soft99 brand, as long as it doesn't say 'compound' on the can then you're quite safe using it.

Plenty of the newer polishes nowadays are quite easy to apply and buff off. Before making any suggestion, I'd need to know what car you're working on and what are you looking for in term of results and what are you trying to achieve/correct.

Bro got attached is the image. I;m actually still working on my gurls black vios. The last round the outcome was quite satisfying this round i would like to remove most of the scratches as well.

hrrmm...let me see now.

"Power Cleaner & Fusso Coat", "For dark & metallic color", 3 months durability.....

From the brief info on the can, I can only speculate. I'd say that this would most probably be an AIO (All In One) - a mild paint cleaner with wax. I don't think it is abrasive enough to remove scratches and it would most probably do more 'filling' then 'removing'. Even if it does, it'll take a lot of efforts.

For mild swirls or scratch removal, for on-the-shelf product, I'd suggest you try Meguiars Ultimate Polish, SwirlX, or Mothers California Gold Scratch Remover, the latter two are almost identical. Ultimate Polish is a more recent product so if you're looking for easy usage & buffing off, then that should be the better option to try. Oh...you're working by hand right? Using a 'sponge' pad or cloth? Either way, hand or a machine, Ultimate Polish can be use on both. There might be other similar products in 3M, Sonax, or other brands but I haven't tried any of them before so can't comment much. Maybe somebody else can chime in on this.

An additional suggestion, if you can afford it, get the Meg's Ultimate Compound as well. It's stronger than Ultimate Polish. You can use UC for spot removal of the deeper or more severe defects and follow up with UP.

Regards.

uh oh! I have ultimate compound but wasn't really good using it the last round.. quite alot of scratches were not removed. Anyway i shall try a couple more times on that. hehe. Thanks man.

how do you remove water marks on windscreen? i tried several product but it doesn't get rid of them...

For subborn ones, I use Soft99 Glass Compound Z

where did you buy that?

ACE hardware. Autobac Klang also got.

look for a claybar, but hard to get frm local store in kuching area, which brand do u guys recommend but yet affordable and easy to used?

What about water mark on paint? What is the best product to use without the need of an orbiter - just by using hand...

Clay bar can only remove embedded or bonded contaminant. It doesn't work like a polish - it cannot remove any defects. Glass polish is your best bet to remove water spots/marks. I find that the Soft99 Glass Compound Z is able to remove the light water spotting to the more severe water marks (though it's not aggressive enough to remove scratches and etchings). The compound comes together with a hand applicator. And I think it's suppose to be use by hand only (I haven't tried it with a machine).

U mean u can use it in car paint as well?

Oh...sorry...sorry...I just glanced through your post and didn't notice you were asking about paint.

For paint you'd need to get a polish or paint cleaner for paint, both comes in thick liquid form (like liquid wax) and you can use it by hand. A couple of products that comes to mind are Duragloss #501 Marine Polish (AIO) All In One Paint Cleaner+Sealant or Meguiars SwirlX. If you're looking for cheaper options you can try Soft99 Meta Clean. There is one other product that I know of that is a spray and wipe type. I've seen it been used before at one of my friend's detailing centre but I haven't personally use it myself before. It's Duragloss 505 Water Spot Removal.

And for clay, then yes, it might be able to remove the more milder water marks.

Hi, any advise on paint prep for new car?
Couldn't afford coating but I have opti-seal here with me.

good car wash, and a lot of tough claying (will definitely kill your arms lol)

For simple prep and protection without any correction you would first need to clean and decontaminate the paint.

A good car wash is a must and claying with a proper automotive clay and lube should remove most surface contaminants. After that, a layer of Opti-Seal will seal and protect the paint.

If you want to take it further, the paint should be polished after washing and claying to remove any surface defects to bring out the shine before sealing and protecting the paint.

Hope this helps.
