Thank you, it really is a gem.
It is a manual, and my friend reluctantly sold it because the car does not suit a growing family anymore.. but nevertheless we were happy with the result!

Had a chance to detail friend's Bright Red 1997 Toyota Celica over the weekend. Since I only had 5 hours block of time I asked my friend to wash the car prior coming to my house so I can go straight...

I actually have this thing just for spreading AND removing wax at night time / midnight since noise is an issue even with DA on speed 2. I can say it is pretty quiet, definitely a time saver and...

Hello fellow Aussie detailer!

I understand your frustration of difficulty getting many products mentioned in AG Online from retail stores over here.

Last time I check M66, FK215, Optimum GPS,...

Just curious.

For those who have both types of machines, any particular situation you would use just DA ie. PC 7424XP and other situation you'd grab the Forced Rotation ie. Flex 3401?

Great article, thanks for writing!

Is it just me that use dishwashing liquid like dawn / fairy?

It's easy to dissolve, cleans well and rinse off clean with no residue. And it's cheap.

I have this exact same one from Japan and have used it several times.

To last years?? Hmm.. I applied on my windscreen that was well prepped with glass polish and IPA lasted about a month before I...

You're welcome! :thumbup:

Just bear in mind the wax might turns softer when your body temperature warms it up in your pocket :)

That's good size. At 2.5oz should make enough wax stick to do 20-30 cars?

Ouch!

In case you use a pot/pan on the stove with this plastic bag trick, make sure the plastic bag never touch the pot/pan, otherwise the hot pot/pan might melt & puncture the plastic bag.

Thanks guys! :)
I have used the wax stick twice now and absolutely loving it everytime!

I totally agree with Mike Phllips and Ken.

In fact I just did an experiment over the weekend to try out how effective an AIO with polishing pad was.

I purposely 'scour' a test section of my...

When I read somewhere in the forum that someone made their own wax stick from a paste wax I decided to make one myself.

As many of us know, spreading wax by machine is easier, faster, more uniform...

I have been using BH clay bars for the last 1 year or so. I use regular one during summer and soft one during winter.

Works well, cost effective, and can even use plain water as lube if you want!

Everyday use: Megs Perfect Clarity.

Road film, haze, or water spots: Autoglym Glass Polish.

Yes I got them from that same seller.

I was confused because it feels as if they are all made from the same density foam, the only differences are just the thickness and color. :confused:

Since...

Just for price comparison, Megs G220v2 retails for AU$300 (now discontinued). Flex 3401 & Rupes 21 are both around AU$600. Festool Rotex 150 around AU$900. This Rockwell DA retails just AU$100 ($80...

Hey swanic, funny you mentioned this! I am in Australia and just got this Rockwell DA polisher. I was browsing at local supercheap auto few weeks ago and saw this DA on sale for AU$80 which was...

Thanks, and yes "flat" paint as in solid color without metallic flake

Hey guys,
Knowing what you know now on detailing, would you choose flat paint over metallic one for your next vehicle?

I just thought a well maintained vehicle with flat paint might have deeper...

Is this the same new version that you have?

For my understanding UC is more a 1-step correction, not AIO. It finishes quite nicely but still needs to be topped up with wax / sealant for protection.

Sometimes I just wanted to do quick one step minor correction, cleaning, and sealing on my car which I say about 85% condition. I am not really aiming for perfection on this one is a DD.

So I am...

I use Autoglym Glass Polish to prep and clean those shiny chrome plastics. It is mentioned on the bottle that this can be used to clean the "brightworks".

I am very impressed with the result, a...

Get the paste one because this one won't streak! Very easy to apply thinly, easy to buff off.

With D156 if you apply it by misting on MF cloth thinly then wipe it on dry paint it will flash...
