hi EJB, above is very detailed and helpful.

Could you share where you typically buy those car care products?

Amway Carwash - Amway direct (I use my friend's agent account, she ok to let me use)

Meguairs - Giant @ Vivocity, NTUC @ AMK Hub.

You can buy Meguair's from Autobacs, ONLY & ONLY IF, it's on special offer, else outside cheaper.

Claybar, Autobacs have.

thanks!

have u tried Glaco Mirror Coat?

https://www.autobacs.com.sg/shop/car-care/mirror-coat-zero-40ml/

or the Glaco Glass Cleaner is enough liao?
I use the autoglym glass polish, which suffices to clean off grime and polishes (abrasive) the glass a bit for clarity.

Water beads off the surface and the wiper doesn't judder, which is something I am looking for. For such coating, it might work well on the side mirrors, but do avoid using it on the front windscreens.

I use RainX on the rest of the windows/mirrors except the front windscreen.

Buying the device is easy... it's getting the buffing pads over long time that can be daunting.

I’m thinking of selling mine. Dual action polisher. Hardly used is the reason why I’m thinking of selling. If you keen can pm me.

Lazada is the place to get pads. Easy.

Models come and go, AFAIK, sometimes models change, the part numbers also change.

Black and Decker is not a proper polisher. It vibrates like crazy... you are better off getting those budget DAs from China.
