detailer did not do paint touch up.

Typically they don't, but they do partner those who do. And I have seen good touch up jobs before that looks perfect in front of the un-trained eyes

I plan to polish my car myself soon. I'm not sure about the condition of my paint's clear coating. So far, I've only been waxing the car to make it shine.

For polishing jobs, I strongly recommend that you send it to a Car Detailing Shop as you most likely lack the equipment/experience to do the job. Especially the equipments, unless you are an enthusiast, I don't think you are prepared to spend like RM3000+ on equipments, or are you?

As for Waxing jobs, its easy to DIY, just tiring, but with a bit of care most people are able to do it properly.

You mean Eneos? They don't have it, I know Eneos inside out whistling.gif

Maybe you can try Brothers, they have like EVERYTHING. Main outlets you will need to check is Kelana Jaya, Ampang, or Batu Caves

Does anyone know where I can source for Menzerna stuff locally?

For deeper scracthes and stubborn dirt, i am using AutoGlym Paint renovator..which is a pretty strong compound/polish. Remove bird pool etch into clear coat, watermark and etc is easy, bear in mind i am doing this by Hand...

Meguiars ScratchX works but you need a lot of effort, doing by hand, it is very tiring process..
