Guys, meron bang way para matanggal ang swirls sa door visor? TIA

most visors are plastic and can be polished just like paint.

mga sir, may gumagamit ba sa inyo nitong B&D WP900 orbit waxer/polisher? please give some feedbacks naman sa nakagamit na bago ako bumili nito. thanks.

Attachment 27913

It has very week motor thus would not be able to correct defects.
Save up for an entry level DA instead.

ano ba mga entry level na DA na budget friendly?

ako gumagamit nyan, tyak na mapapagaang trabaho and its for liquid wax application only (not recommended for paste wax) and it has slow and fix rpm cannot be used for paint correction and swirl removal. foam applicator good for 2-3 uses lang masisira na din cya lalu na pag inangat mo habang umaandar pa.

Gamit ko din to pang alis ng swirls tanggal naman after ilang pasada. ang di nya kaya ying medyo malalim na scratch. Gamit ko yung cheap turtle wax polishing compound yun liquid. Mf bonnet gamit ko.

Hehehe, the budget is not friendly, hehe. But for my purpose yes, sulit na ang Rupes kelangan ko pa ata ng isa, hehehe!

Pero ok na ang porter cable for personal use, if you want more power, yung griots ang pwede mo iconsider. But both machines can remove swirls, paired with the right pad and compound polish syempre.

if you don't have a polisher better have it done by the professionals/detailer na lang.

If spot lang naman, baka mas cheaper pa sa detailing shop, it may cost you around P250-P300 per spot, pero if you want it to do it by hand, the only OTC product that removed the defect at the same time hindi malabo ang finish, ay megs ultimate compound.

^not to intimidate but dealing with compounds isn't for everybody. it could do more damage than good if it's not done right. my 2cents.

Am I doing this right?

1. Wash with car shampoo
2. Meguiars Claybar
3. Light car wash again
4. Nu Finish Polish
5. Collinite 845 Wax
6. Mothers Instant Detailer for maintenance

Number 2 make sure to use just enough lubricant to prevent marring the paint and frequent changing sides and kneading of the clay bar.
Number 3 can be done or can be skipped.
Your good to go! Enjoy!

Thanks! Yep I'm using meguiars Clay Bar and its supplied detailing spray and I'm sure that's enough.

Is Nu Finish really a polish? Some say it's a polish-wax combo and should be the last step. Or am I better of with other polishes such as Meguiars Ultimate Polish?

Maybe a cleaner wax/ sealant I havent really tried it personally, but seeing its ads before, they are promoting it as a long lasting sealant and not a polish, so i am assuming it has some cleaning properties. but if you have it already, its worth a try. Its position at number 4 is just ok.

[red_one]

Nu Finish Polish is really a misnomer. It is not a polish. It is not natural wax. It is not a cleaner wax.

So what is it? It is synthetic, silicone-based sealant. It is used as last step product.

Think of it as somewhat similar to Meg's Paint Protect 365 and TW Ice Lock Shine Sealant.
