hey guys..

i'm thinking of getting some meguiars products..tell me what u think

thinking of getting the Step1, Step2 but the last one should i get the Gold Class wax or the NXT?..can't decide lahh..which one better?

i've been looking around for Autoglym products..can't seem to find it anywhere..been to ACE at midvalley and Ikano and also Eneous..don't have...any idea where can find Autoglym stuff?

if i use my polyglaze wash n wax to wash my car..will it strip of the waxing i put using meguiars?

let me share mine oso

i use soft99 luster - to polish of scratches...

wax and wash by Kit product

wah, ur car is certainly very shinny.. nicely done.. btw how good is the soft99 luster? can it be use to remove swirl marks and scratches?

I Confused A Bit Now...

Wax = Polish?

What About Polish Cut? Necessary?

 

[mengz]

wax = a kind of substance...either natural or synthetic. is used to protect the paint surface...it acts as a sacrificial barrier.

polish = 1) an abrasive substance used to remove paint surface impurities. (from very aggressive to least aggressive)
2) non abrasive substance, containing polishing oils only.

so waxing and polishing is different. base on meguiar's 5 step paint care. u wash -> prep -> polish -> wax(protect) -> maintenance. basically u need to identify the condition of ur car's paintwork, from there u plan what you need to do.

for me, i only use Meguiar's and 3M products. after washing i'll use meguiar's paint cleaner for prepping. then i skip the polishing stage coz i send it to my detailer for polishing once every six months. i'll do one layer of either Meguiar's polymer sealant or Meguiar's NXT tech wax a.k.a. synthetic wax. then a layer of 3M perfect-it carnauba wax a.k.a. natural wax ontop of the synthetic wax. just a reminder, nvr put carnauba wax 1st then synthetic wax ontop of it bcoz the synthetic wax will remove the carnauba layer. reason behind this is most if not all synthetic wax has cleaning detergents inside them which will remove the carnauba wax, whereas a good carnauba wax is just pure wax without any cleaning properties.

[raja_emeperor]

yup...also experienced this,my car was painted in pearl orannge gold and this watermarks was spotted everywhere.
but i already found the solution,i juz used soft99(i bought it in jusco under car product section),not sure which version but silver colour can that are suitable for metalic and pearl colour.
it would not clear the stain for 1st time application,u need to polish it 2-3 times,and it will bring the shine back as good as new. :)
