    Have anybody here tried velvet/denim pad?

    Hi guys, I would like to shoot to the point here. Any thoughts/experience using a velvet/denim pad? Those pads claimed to be a good replacement for wet sanding. I myself didn't buy it, because I don't believe in a 'too good to be true' item. Wet sanding is a sure step to remove deep...

    Best Car wax for white cars ?

    Jumping right in! I also own a white pearl car, and I do agree with mike that the color shines even more with little to no defects. I also found jeweling the paint with menzerna po85rd pops the color even more. As for maintenance I also am a junkie for cleaning items. I usually clay the car...

    First time machine polisher, tips?

    This is from my own experience... Topping wax upon a sealant got its best result from letting the sealant cured completely first, for example, BFWD cured for 8 hours so I waited 8 hours to top it off with BFMS. You can feel the difference in the lsp's characteristics and durability by doing...

    Engine Detail 'How To' Walk Through w/Pics

    LOL and yea don't call me kid/tiger/whatever :laughing: I live in Indonesia. It's humid, got lots of pollutions, streets filled with small motorcycles which harms my paint job more than anything, debris filled with junks are also available here. So if you're looking for some challenge, how to...

    Engine Detail 'How To' Walk Through w/Pics

    Errr.. Not a man actually lol but that's okay :D Weather in my country is pretty harsh, I live in the tropics so if it's ain't raining, then hot. Regular temp here is about 85-90, and when it's hot, it can get to 110 respectively. So HD got really bad durability for under the hood. I tried to...

    First time machine polisher, tips?

    My first machine was the Meguiars GV110V2. I tried several machines before I bought it, and I think it's a really good machine for newbs like me. After a while I saved up and bought myself a Flex 3401 which is a forced orbital machine. Learning curve with this machine is a bit tougher, but it...

    Engine Detail 'How To' Walk Through w/Pics

    Thanks to u, my should-be-laying-around-do-nothing morning has been pretty 'productive'. It's been a while since I detailed my engine bay, so the dressing has been pretty much gone, plastic stuff looked dull. Stumbled across this thread so rolled up my sleeves, put on my gloves and worked my...

    Honda Fit (Jazz) 2010 Brilliant White Pearl Double Coated (OptiCoat 2.0 and CQuartz)

    Weh ada om tian.. Pa kabar om :) It popped out of my iPad soon after all the achievements achieved! Lol kidding.. I think the blue appearance got enchanced from the metallic beadings. On my car, pinnacle crystal mist just boosted up all the blues. Love the effect and slickness! So are u...

    Honda Fit (Jazz) 2010 Brilliant White Pearl Double Coated (OptiCoat 2.0 and CQuartz)

    I don't think so. Heard someone claims that the beading, hydrophobic layer will last for about a year and coating itself will blend the cc.. Dunno whether it's true or not, the fact is, slickness reduced significantly only after a month after application. Need to qd it every day for my...

    Honda Fit (Jazz) 2010 Brilliant White Pearl Double Coated (OptiCoat 2.0 and CQuartz)

    Hi guys.. Four months ago, my car has been coated with OptiCoat 2.0, with amazing result and protection. But somehow I really would like to try out the CQuartz coating too. Since I only have the one car, I thought what the heck just reapply the CQ upon OC2. Car's always clean. I gave her...

    Surbuf or Meguiar's DA Microfiber

    Hey guys, sorry just got into this discussion. I just got a surbuf pad, and planning to use it to cut a bit of thin scratches on soft paint using the meg's DA. I have S17, Menz FF, M#205, and I'm planning to remove these scratches using a surbuf pad and M#205. Since the car's paint is a bit on...
