Hi all, i personally using autoglym products. however, am looking at other products as i think there could be better detailing products out there to spice up my detailing. Pls care to share all the pros and cons of the products you have used or is using. Thank you :)

Hi Bros, Meguiars DA is going at 30% off this weekend at Carrefour. Usual Price $350 so it is $245 after discount not to mention additional 5% rebate if you use the POSB Everyday card. Saw many pieces available despite the massive clearout that is happening this weekend. Is this a good deal? Was so tempted!!! Anyways picked up the Turtlewax ICE kit ($34), Sonax Oil additive ($14) and Sonax Car 2 in 1 wash ($11.90). Most of the car stuff are gone but still have quite a bit of Sonax stuff, Meguiars Swirl X, Meguiars Clay Kit, NXT Wax, Leather wipes etc. Prepare to queue though...

Hi bros/sis, I have been using meguiars ultimate quick wax for a year and liked it's fast touch and go spray as it consumes little time. But recently, I got the chance to try out 3M perfect it paste wax and saw quite a difference. Though more time consuming, it produces a deeper wet gloss look compared to meguiars which brings out bright colours. My vehicle is dark colour so it seems that 3M paste presents the car better. However I do note that the meguiars product I used was spray and wipe so in my assumption it would not be fair. Thus a few question I have in mind is that would 3M perfect It liquid wax produce the same result as 3M paste wax? I still like meguiars quick detailer but am not sure if I can use it with 3M paste wax given the chemicals for both products. Cause if so, I may end up using meguiars quick detailer as a cleaning spray and 3M wax to wax the car. Other findings; Another thing to note though is that 3M paste wax had lesser dust stuck to the surface compared to meguiars which I notice attracts a consistent layer of dust. But in terms of touch, 3M paste would leave smudges due to paste wax. I am still waiting for rainy weathers to see if it has as much rain spots as meguiars cause the day it was applied, there was light rain and it hardly left any rain spots on the car. So I hope anyone who have experience in using the above mentioned products can share your experiences with me. Thanks.

Highly anticipated Tough coating like Sonax? Microfiber pad. Like those by Surbuf? I just got some Surbuf but haven't try them yet, anyone has already? This is designed to compound and polish with DA, with the same pad. Not much details yet. They are so secretive. *pictures from Meg Forum

Hi all our muslim detailers do take note..I copied from autoworld world.. I'll make it simple: "---On 2009-07-24 00:44:00.0 You Wrote Us--- My question is this :- Meguiars Slide Lock Detail Brush - The bristle is made of ?? _________________________________________ Hello, Thank you for contacting Meguiars with your product question.

Link to original article There is a lot of confusion about the difference between a polish, and a wax. Many companies are marketing waxes and paint protectants as polishes and glazes and the terms have become almost interchangeable. Professionals know there is a big difference. Meguiar's is a true polish manufacture. That is, unlike many of our competitors that can only offer you a few products for cars with cured paint, Meguiar's product range runs from the highest quality finishing papers in the industry, to state-of-the-art pure synthetic paint protectants, to everything in-between. Example: Most companies only offer the following products: Car wash Pre-wax cleaner One or two waxes (usually some type of natural wax or polymer/silicone synthetic protectant) Multi-surface vinyl protectant And sometimes one or more of the following: Some type of wheel cleaner, leather treatment, or tire dressing.Because they offer such a limited selection, and often times don't even manufacture the products themselves, they really have no expertise when it comes to formulating complex products that professionals require as an intricate part of performing their job duties as skilled craftsman. This is why frequently you will see a product whose purpose is to protect the paint labeled as a polish. Instead of merely defining the difference between a polish and a wax, below you will find the Meguiar's 5-Step Paint Care Cycle and the products and procedures for each of the 5 steps. Meguiar's 5-Step Paint Care Cycle The 5-step paint care cycle outlines the 5 basic but important procedures and the accompanying products that enable you to restore and maintain a show car shine on your car's finish. Below are the 5 categories of products including pure polishes and cleaner/polishes as they are placed in the 5-step paint care cycle. The 5-Step Paint Care Cycle includes: Step 1 Washing Product Procedure Wash Solutions Washing Washing removes loose surface dirt and loose contaminants that have not yet bonded to the surface. All Meguiar's wash products are specially formulated to clean well without stripping wax protection or dulling and drying out all paint types. All Meguiar's washes also contain special conditioning agents that leave behind a slick, high gloss surface. Because most people wash their car more than any other procedure, it's important to use a car wash solution that is specifically formulated for the unique chemistry used to make modern clear coats. Above all, avoid using common dishwashing detergents because these products are extremely harsh and tend to dull the finish down with each use. Dish soaps are also hard on other materials and components such as rubber, vinyl and plastics, remember, when you wash your car with dish soap everything is subjected to the dulling and drying effects high alkaline soaps cause to your vehicle. Step 2 Cleaning or Surface Prep Product Procedure Paint cleaners Removing below surface defects Clay bars Removing above surface contaminants Surface Prep includes both paint cleaning (not to be confused with the washing step), and claying the finish (with a clay bar). To help you accomplish these two steps, Meguiar's offers a number of safe but effective paint cleaners and an easy to use clay bar kit that includes everything you need to clay your car's finish. Paint Cleaners This includes highly specialized Compounds and Paint Cleaners, which utilize both microscopic and macroscopic diminishing abrasives

Any1 any comments on the cordless orbitor? From the webby it mentioned can last for 1.5hr of usage. Was tinking of getting tis to cut down the detailing time n most importantly it would prolly made the car more Could get normal power at MSCP n not keen to invest in a gen set. In addition, can machine be used for both application n removal of polish/wax/sealant? Cos many seem to mention using it for only polish n not for the sealant and/or wax. Tks in advance for the all the comments.

Anyone seen them before? :)

anyone knows where to find this ? my usual source thanks mice

Hi Bros, After looking high and low for Meguiars Professional #26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax and #16 Paste Wax I finally found the only place that have them and the rest of the the full Meguiars range! Its the distributer Hypercoat Pte Ltd located at No.1 Loyang Way 6. The #26 costs $21 and the #16 costs $25. Note that they have no showroom area u will have to walk up to the 2nd floor and enter their office and say that u want to buy meguiars product. Also look out for the arrival of the new NXT Paste Wax in the next few months. Cheers!

Finally tried it. Find that this polik CMI leh. Difficult to apply and finish not very smooth. Gave up half way and went back to the trusty higlaze fatt-fatt.
