Thanks for the tips guys.
btw, any torch light that is effective in looking for swirls?

I dont have space for a halogen light  sweat.gif

KC did mention that LED torches are pretty effective.

Anyone tried Eveready Dolphin lights?

I think u better go buy the cheap rechargeable china made led torch light it can help u look for the hologram more easily, anyway this is just my opinion and it works for me.

at here i want to thanks bro KC for bringing me the most easier way to wash the car and below is just the benefit and ease of use of the ONR, here is just a small write up for the rims cleaning process with ONR.

This is a ten year old car and this brake dust is accumulate from 3 weeks drive. As u can see the rims is cover with brake dust badly until the original colour is changed from silver to brown black.

my method of cleaning is very easy, first i will spray some premix ONR solution (1 Ounces to 1 Gallon of water) from spray bottle, then wipe with a clean cloth, here a comparison picture.

The cleaning process of all the wheels just took me around 10 minutes and my car park is free from wet and most important it is the rims clean in a safe way ( although it is not important for me my rims is in bad shape)

Here is the cloth after the rims wash, and all the brake dust is stick to the cloth and i just use some car wash cleaning solution to clean the cloth.Attached Image

as shown in the picture the scar already fill with the touch up paint by some other fellow and i am not satisfy with it and today i will try DIY.

First wash the area with ONR mixture and then i wet sand the affected area by using 1000G, 2500G,3000G with ONR ad lube.

Attached Image

then wipe dry and remove the sanding marks by some rubbing compound. after the sanding marks is remove then i use the Wax & silicone removal to wipe the area clean the area, the purpose of using this is to ensure that the surface is well prepare for the touch up paint to bond better.
Attached Image
this is the picture that the touch up paint is applied, i will leave it cure for one day then i will compound again this is the after picture

result:
although it is not totally like new but i am happy that the diy is better then the job done others.

it hurt deep i think it is very hard to cure it for 100% u can make it less obvious by compounding it or wetsanding then polish but i think u need to apply touch up paint.

I read on the internet saying that we can use WD-40 to remove the tar stains from the car.. will it damage the paint on the car? i know it will remove the wax though.
*
it is hard to say whether it is harmful or not but i did not use the wd40, imo i think the safer way is to use the clay, but for the wheel arch and lower door area i use the osren tar spot removal, this product clean all the stubborn tar spot
