Gen2 Neutral Newbie April 9, 2006 Share April 9, 2006 (edited) Nicw work there bro, care to share your procedure and products used ? Btw is there any picture that shows the whole car ? As for tyre shine you can try the new Mother's FX series tyre shine, pretty good in my opinion. Edited April 9, 2006 by Gen2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrambyjess Neutral Newbie April 9, 2006 Author Share April 9, 2006 Altis around 1.5 yrs old. Step practiced are: 1. Wash with car shampoo. (currently using some cheap brand) 2. Claybar (soft99) 3. Polish or Deep Shine (Autogylm) 4. Extra Gloss (Autoglym) 5. Work on rims, tyre, vacuum interior while waiting for sealant to cure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toalson 1st Gear April 10, 2006 Share April 10, 2006 Good shine. I always like the shine produced with the autoglym combo but the curing time was the factor that cos me to try others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlonely78 Neutral Newbie April 10, 2006 Share April 10, 2006 bro, nice work there. 1 quetion; i have those Autoglymn Super Resin Polish and Paintwork Renovator. Can you advise whether i can use those for my swirl and watermark removal attack by DA machine? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrambyjess Neutral Newbie April 10, 2006 Author Share April 10, 2006 (edited) Why not? U can alwayz use the paint renovator on the surface to minimize any minor swirl and scratch marks, follow by resin polish and extra gloss. But be careful not to overuse the paint renovator as its kinda abrasive! Hope that works for you :) Edited April 10, 2006 by Scrambyjess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanchelsk 2nd Gear April 10, 2006 Share April 10, 2006 wow so shiny... any advice on how to use touch up paint to cover up paint job?? (I kena the tree trunk for the front bumper, the some paint chip off) any steps to recommend??? thanks... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlonely78 Neutral Newbie April 10, 2006 Share April 10, 2006 bro, thanks for the advise. Now, what type of pad is suitable for those jobs? swirl remover, minor scratch, and watermark and some bird stain. Here is the plan. I will use Meg pad since these is only pad which is available through retail outlet. so, which pad is for which product? Paintwork Renovator = Meg number ? EGP = Meg number ? Thanks again. Cheers.

Scrambyjess Neutral Newbie April 10, 2006 Author Share April 10, 2006 Sorry bro, i can't help you wif regards to which polish pad to use. I think Gen2 should have a better idea with these :) All my DIY are done using manual hand application and polish :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrambyjess Neutral Newbie April 10, 2006 Author Share April 10, 2006 Yup. Its actually a merc in the first few pics and an Altis for the rest :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrambyjess Neutral Newbie April 10, 2006 Author Share April 10, 2006 Im not sure whether those 'touch up markers' in the market are advisable, never tried them myself.. but if you wanna get one, make sure to choose the correct color for it! You can check from underneath your car's bonnet, it states ur car original color code :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
