Hi.. I am a newbie in caring for my car. This is my story and how i did mine.

I started reading and using carcare product from aug on my 6 months old car.

When i got the car, the body/paint was not at its best condition for a new car.It was probably kept poorly/uncovered carpark at the storage garage. There was a lot of contaminants stuck at the paint surface and was very rough.

After much reading & watching youtube. I bought :-
1. Meguiars new car kit.
2. Meguiars paint restoration kit.
3. Meguiars soft buff 7" yellow pad
4. Black & decker kp600 + velcro (sponsored)

As per megs tutorial, i wash, clay, ultimate compound and wax.

So far i must say, i am very satisfied. Now i am kinda chasing for my own ultimate shine.

Btw my car is white, i know, its an easy color, but i hate it when it doesnt shine..

Added on October 18, 2012, 10:45 pmI am currently using Black & decker. My car had low level swirls/scrathes due to using improper washing cloths.

I used the BD with megs yellow pad to polish but wax still by hand (i havent bought the black finishing pad yet).
So far it does the job but need to be patient when polishing bcoz might need to do 3-4 passes depending on the damage.
(polishing should not be frequent anyways).

I am now targeting to buy the black pad for waxing but still researching bcoz it might be difficult to use the 7 " pad for tight areas. Trying to find 5.5" pad and to see whether it fits the BD. maybe sifus can give some ideas on this.

Btw, to polish/to do correction, it still depends on your type of paint (soft or not, single stage or not, how thick is it right now etc). [attachmentid=3108491][attachmentid=3108494]

Bro KrisMas,

Is it easy to do waxing using the Dewalt? Especially for the tight/small areas?

What finishing/wax pad would you suggest for me to use with my BD ? (its backing plate is 5")

Thanks..

Thanks for the info bro..

Mine is the BD Dual Action KP-600, i glue strips of velcro on its original pad.

Previously, my tangan gatal aldy to get that cute Megs 220v DA... if only money would rain on me hahaha...
