am not that familiar with chrome, but am sure mothers and meguiars has some chrome cleaners. You can check out True Value for that.

Is that the white car you posted a couple of days back? Don't loose hope, kaya yan, medyo mahirap talaga pag hand applied ang cleaner wax, you may wanna invest in a ROP so it would make your job easier.

usually kasi pag cleaner wax route ka it's gonna take several detailing sessions before the results become discernibly clear for you. and as you've noticed lumilitaw na yung ibang surface defects. so hang on and keep on at it, you're making progress.

if this hobby was easy, then everybody would be doing it.

a faster way to deal with this problem is to polish the paint with a machine (ROP or Rotary). that way, you're using a specific and dedicated product in dealing with your defects.

may rotary kami dito B&D kaso lumang model na..not speed variable kaya nakakatakot gamitin..nope ibang car ito..pero white din..i will post a pic of it soon...kitang-kita mo talaga yung different color ng room (one side is darker than the other...) hayy...

zechs: You might want to consider getting a ROP, if your in the south, I may be able to recommend you a shop that sells Power Tools.

try mo masmatapang na cleaner wax kung cleaner wax nga gusto mo. I find the Megs ColorX more aggressive than the Megs red bottle cleaner wax

Does this contain abrasives?

[cardo]

it cleans, polishes and protects. i find it better that the red bottle megs cleaner wax. i've tested it on dried up rain spots on the roof. it took me 3 application for the red bottle, and 1 for colorx... but that's just me

not sure about the level of abbrassives...

[chain]

yes it does contain diminishing abrasives. but not at the same level ng DACP. ColorX is like Klasse AIO, but as I mentioned earlier, they're worlds apart in terms of results IMO.

You can use ColorX then top off with your fave LSP.
