its been a while since I visited this thread.. mahaba-haba na pala. I've been purposely avoiding to polish my ride for a couple of months na. gusto kong ipunin yung swirls and light scratches muna before removing them. finally decided to start at it this weekend. hehehehe
userfriendly: QD under direct sunlight? I think I've done that before during times na OC talaga ako but normally, I try to avoid that.. kung tulad na ng bird poo, pinapaabot ko na lang sa bahay tapos diretsong car wash. usually, I QD when the vehicle's alot cooler.
bankai: there are different kinds and qualities of MF's available out there. try to look for the ones that are really plush and offer good nap.. BTW, anlaki ng towel na yan ah.

anyway, how is it so far?
antz-z: yup, go ahead and detail your car. maganda nga habang brand new pa lang you're treating it right. helps a lot to preserve the looks of your car. last time I checked, yung Soft99 clay nasa 600 petot lang. pero that's old stock na so you're better off with Mom's.
