Thanks to KC i've gotten addicted to detailing !

Just got my products from him a few days back and i've already did claying and etc..

He is a very knowledgeable guy and he isn't selfish cause he shares his experiences and knowledge ! Real nice guy to talk to !

Hehe you should know who am i smile.gif

Bro btw , could you recommend me a lasting and silky finish polish ( liquid or paste ) nothing more than 80bucks ? Currently using Turtle Wax Super Hard Shell Paste Polish w/ Black & Decker kp600 - sorry no money to go buy a rotary and proper polish yet had to work with what i had in the house hehe..

For the wax layer i'll be using OCW , should be okay right if i get a nice layer of Polish under the OCW ? smile.gif

If the layer of wax has some sort of stain such as didn't dry and it touched water what do i do ? Re-apply wax ? or Re-apply polish and wax ?

Thanks.

i came across a few people doing DIY mods to their kp600.. where do i get the suitable pads for light swirl and scratch removal and polishing ? here is a link to what this guy did..

where to get those meguiars pads that can be attached by velcro?

honestly i have no choice but to do this cause of my budget.. wish for a makita.. but can't - plan to try do the mod above after i get back to my hometown..

KC,

thanks 300w instead right ? besides ACE would smaller shops have the lamp for a cheaper price?
