Hi DIY detailing peeps !! From Paint Correction to Regular Interior & Exterior Wash, What are some products/tools you guys use ? Lifehacks?😁 Been trying to "detail" myself for this year or so, here is my experience in condo basement carpark !! Any advice from more experienced bros are greatly appreciated !! Power socket : Yes (Although im not sure if its allowed to be used lol) Water Supply : Plain old tap with bucket (cant connect hose...) Pressure Washer : Worx Hydroshot 20v - Honestly the Worx HS is fine, but abit greedy for more power, especially for use with foam cannon. Tried diluting HS Foam dispenser for 1:5, half the car always finish... like waste - considering Karcher K5 Full Control & MJJC Foam Cannon !! (although i better check the usage of power socket with condo MA)... - Rinse , Foam & 2 Bucket with Mitt 😉 Polisher : Makita 9237C Rotary (Any bros interested to buy over, let me know !! used 2 times lol) - Tried doing by car hood, quite like the outcome... But honestly i gave up doing it myself for Paint Correction - Wah... but me doing in condo basement... its like got echoes... So loud !! Smooth power though... and my stamina got to me after 1 hood... lol - Dont mind trying DA, But seems so expensive !! Seen the FLex one Auto Maxima selling for $1400.... Also considered the Megs DA Powerdrill thingy.. but replacement pads seem like an issue - End up the next few days did part by part by hand... use the Makita neighbours all see me like zoo animal !! Products (Shampoo, Polish, Wax, Compound, Towels) : - Megs Wash & Wax Shampoo (in Worx HS) , Autoglym SRP, 3M Rubbing Compound, Megs Ultimate Compound, Soft 99 Wax (S99 wax makes my finger smell for the whole damn day !!) Megs All Wheel Cleaner, Megs Interior Detailer, Megs Ultimate Quik Detailer - Am personally a fan of Meguiar's stuff.. Tried Armorall is meh... Dont mind trying Turtle Wax, Adams, Sonax, Autoglym and especially Chemical Guys !! (Although Adams, CG seems quite rare & expensive in SG) Interior Trim : Currently using a makeup brush to brush the dust together with my Dyson V11... Once in awhile Brush in Dettol diluted Antiseptic (yes no joke) and wipe with MF towel.. Thinking to Invest in Wet & Dry Vac like Karcher WD3 to suck up all the solution and dust !!😆 Also, Considering a Karcher SC2 for better faster better cleaning, and can use in the house too !! Finish off with Megs Interior Detailer !! Leather : Vacuum crevices, Brush leather&vinyl cleaner with shoe brush, Wipe with MF, Wipe again with Dettol, Finish with Megs Int Detailer... Carpets : Vacuuuum all the way.... once awhile brush stuborrn stuff.... Wanna get a drill brush with Carpet Cleaner to Brush in and Suck out with W&D Vac !!
