meguairs one is around RM70..comes with quick detailing spray(lubricant)

soft99..only clay is around RM20..

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 tongue.gif .. 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? brows.gif 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 tongue.gif .. 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 wink.gif

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

Yeah cry.gif The only way to avoid is keeping the car at home or installing those special tints for the bumper. I'd rather repaint the car in the coming years wink.gif
