[QUOTE="KrisMas, post: 508685, member: 14200"] 1. What is a good machine for a newbie to start using? [B][I][COLOR="Blue"]- Bosch GEX125AE is the *normal* orbital that's favoured by local enthusiasts. Cost around RM370 and you can find it in *almost* any hardware store, also selling in ACE Hardware. But you'd need to be aware that not much correction can be done with an orbital machine[/COLOR][/I][/B] 2. Where can I get it? [I][B][COLOR="Blue"]- Answered above.[/COLOR][/B][/I] 3. I read something about a Dual Polisher, can I get it in KL? [I][B][COLOR="Blue"]- Dodo Juice Buff Daddy or DAS-6 is a Dual Action polisher and it's available locally. Cost around RM770. It's more powerful and can do better correction (removing swirls, mild scratches, water marks, etc.) than the Bosch.[/COLOR][/B][/I] 4. Must I really clay before polishing? [I][B][COLOR="Blue"]- Not a 'MUST' every time you want to polish, but it's a good practice to clay the surface when it's rough to remove any embedded contaminant so that you won't pick up any particle with your polishing pad and induce unnecessary scratches while polishing.[/COLOR][/B][/I] 5. Due to time constraint, can I work on the car by washing, claying, polishing and waxing each day on different parts? e.g. Today - Car roof, Tomorrow - Bonnet, Next day - Doors. [B][I][COLOR="Blue"]- No problem. Just remember to wax after finishing each section to protect your hard work.[/COLOR][/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
