Notorious - Congrats !!! Lovely packing the DA comes in ! Please can you share with us the prices ? Did you get it from the UK ? What make of pads are those ?
Looking forward to pics before & after post your treatment !
Btw, i contacted Gamutauto about the Eagle one chrome wadding polish which they have on their website. Its out of stock & expected only after 45 days.
MKH - We will run another few passes on the panels to get a show car finish ! A few trials will make the entire finish swirl free, considering that only 205 has been tried till now.
Guys, the shimmering effect on MKH's ride in the sunlight was amazing once he applied a layer of Blackfire ! its something which we need a professional photographer to capture ! The metallic flakes were popping out & these photos cant really convey the effect in bright sunlight !

This doubt is because : If any scratch has to dissappear, you need to scrap the scratch that much deep reducing the paint surface thickness.
Would you educate me on this. Is this thinking right or wrong ?
Waxing is fine, since we are only going to add an additional layer to the paint surface.
What do you have to say ? |
Nandan- you're right, complete removal of deeper scratches would involve polishing down to a considerable extent. That's why professional detailers asses the surface with a paint thickness gauge first to understand how much paint thickness they have to play around with. Below a certain level its not advisable.
its quite common to see cars buffed down to their base coat around us by hack detailers !!
Sealants & waxes do a good job of filling in the smaller scratches & unless one is looking for a show car perfect finish, its advisable to hide the few scratches !

Please let me know where you got these and what kind of converter you are using ? |
Shamanth - have sent you a PM with the prices i paid ! In the link posted by Sohail you will get the options of various 230V flex combo kits. You can order them online & have them delivered to your sister;s address in the US.
If you become a member of the Autogeek forum you will get free shipping on orders above 500 USD too ! The Flex is the only 230 V option available.
Do get yourself a clay kit & some good sealant & waxes too (if you don't already have)
Black Asta - Any updates about your kit ?
Sohail - Pics of the swirl finder light and prices of the Megs items you picked up from Dubai please ! I got a Daytona speed master brush & used it the last weekend to clean the wheels. The inventor deserves an award, awesome product, am also getting a Sonax wheel cleaner from Gamutauto for the alloy cleaning of the Beemer wheels, the brake dust is driving me mad !!
