When my car's body got scratch here and there I go lor. Now only got 2 minor scratches Most detailers prefer to polish once every 6 months. Once a year also can

Yeah...polish can make the clear coat thinner. But, try to avoid high grade polish lor. Like those 4B ones Use a softer polish first...soft to your clear coat that is

I send my car for wash yesterday. Took it back for waxing, I feel there are many uneven surface. Like tiny specks of sand on the body. Then there's one or two patch of bird shits that are hard to remove. I dare no scratch it. So how??

Adui..waxing is very tiring job for a gal.

go visit a more reputable car detailer, make sure they do have the process of claying. the claying will remove those rought sand feeling.....those etch bird dropping you might need to polish them..then top up with wax...

Adui..wonder how much will it cost?? Already got dents and scratches here and there due to parking at supermarkets, people dun care, just simply open their door slam on mine

Normally around RM200+++. Standard issue price If the dents are quite bad, I think you have to respray lor

.... some bird bird decided to poo on me back ...

and erm ... i didnt really bother to clean it up ... cuz i tot it'll easily come off ... but after reading some stuff ... seems like its one of the worst nightmares a driver can think of ....

anyone can point me towards a direction that i can work with?
so far i've used soft99 wax to wipe it off ... not working
ive used wd40 to wipe it off ... oso not working
ive used auto glym paint renovator to wipe it off ... oso not working

soo .... any other remedies?? .. me noob in car detailing ... or even car washing ... so ... pls dont flame me ... plsss ...

Try polishing If you see got some bird poo on the body of your car, terus wipe or clean it off. It will bond with the clear coat Dun leave the bird poo on the car for more than a week

more that a week...wow..that too long wei...usually if u see any poo around, straight i pour water and wipe it off..furthermore, is under the sun...once is etched to the clear coat..then more work have to do....if the poo is within 24 hours and under the hot bake sun, it will etched abit already

Yeah...better to clean it off as fast as possible. I mean 1 week is the last resort la. Still can save the paint Not many people care about bird poo. They think it's nothing

bird poo is really corrosive man. dun play play ar....
dat day after rain stop, i drove my car & had to go thru those kampung road where they where construting to widen the road. so of cos very dirty la with all the earth works going on. my car white somemore. after tht reach home, my car had all those water with earth work(red or brown color), so i just did a simply rinse to get rid of it. cannot wait for it to dry cos it will etched onto the clear coat. true enuf after a week, i only realise there were water marks at some spots all over the car. brown in color. normal washing also wun come off but Claying did the job.* thumbs*

Polishing also can't leh..how? Still stuck there... Can I clay it myself?

Polishing also cannot? Better ask the experts. Serious man

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
