Hi all,

I'm still in the process of reading through the pages, and believe me, its taking a really long time.

As per TS recommendation, I was looking for Maguire's Scratch X. But all I could find is Swirl X. Im SURE its not the same product, right? Anybody can recommend where I can buy these products in Penang, Malaysia?

I have a new car, but would like to detail it to maintain its new exterior. My car's finish is less than satisfactory - looks like some "holoram" effect, instead of the clear wet finish that your guys have in the pics posted up.

Since its new, im planning to wash, get rid of scratches, apply detailer then wax a couple of coats. I dont think I need to do claying at this point?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

BaconBits, do you have a DA polisher? if you do not, I suggest you pay some professional to remove the scratches and you perform the maintenance from there onwards.

You can buy a polisher, but I do not think you know enough to DIY properly at this time.

If you insist on trying with hand, I hope you have strong arms lol.

Anyway, back to Scratch X. Have you try ACE Hardware in QB and Parkson in Gurney? this is the place that I know which carries Meg product. I bought my scratch x from Parkson in gurney for around RM65 I think.

I see - makes sense since I don't have any experience, nor a da polisher nor arm strength. Lol.

Great idea ! I'll head on to ACE at qbay!

Thanks.
