Sorie I noticed u use wax before u apply the sealant. Tot its the other way round.

 

Anyway I like the color of ur ride n the work is very nice, esp those shots of the sky.

 

Hi Toalson,

 

Thanks for the nice comments.

I always thought the Sealant should be used as a LSP.

Thanks for highlighting to me i should use the wax after the sealant instead.

Cheers dude. I was basically experimenting and not too sure which

product should go ahead first etc. We all learn haha.

 

We do learn something new everyday. I too learn through guidance. If not mistaken, u'll get a even better shine if u reverse ur process. However if u wan greater durability, try n apply wax after 24hrs after applying the sealant.

Ok[blush] I thought you're using the ciggie lighter to power your B&D.

"if u wan greater durability, try n apply wax after 24hrs after applying the sealant. "

 

By the time 24 hours passed, lots of dirt would have accumulated. Doest that mean we have to wash the car again? with soap or just water?

If u jst park in a sheltered area, use QD can also then proceed with wax or sealant or just use wash with a little shampoo or just plain water to wash. The only risk is, scratching of car due to dirt. But if u had driven out. then a simple wash is enuff.

NXT Tech Wax is as much a sealant as #20. Meguiar's just doesn't market its consumer synthetic products as sealants.

Maybe tat's y it rather

There are several post that mention #21 is even better.

hi i also bought tis machine. but a question here. hw do u minimise the swirl mark w/o usin the swirl mark remover? somehw when i polish them, certain part of my body wrk nw hav afew swirl mark. heart pain! oh btw where can i get those replacement pad too i cant seem to find it.

You can get the replacement pads from Homefix DIY or go down to Homely and see if there are alternative pads available.

Did you make sure the car surface was clean and well prepared before you start using the polisher? Also make sure the pads you are using are clean and change them frequently.

I suggest you go over the affected areas with some swirl remover again.

Yes i heard about #21/ Unfortunately they are only available in the 64oz. size and costs about $85. I will wait for my JWS to arrive.

b4 i bought tis tool i always use my hand power to polish my car. i always do the normal shampoo claybar then to sealant or wax. i bought tis to cut dwn my time on the car. maybe i am too rough wif the machine n hence the swirl mark? it didnt happen b4 when i use hand power haha... i don use any swirl remover coz b4 that my car had hardly any mark to even show.

I think before you use machine,

 

- make sure surface is wash properly

- clay if needed

- also use good pad

- don't apply too much pressure on the mchine

- apply enough product to the pad (but not too much) eg: some method is apply product circle or a "x" on the pad.

- use the correct speed, since I still new the max speed I use is 4-5 for polish
