[QUOTE="anxious, post: 253685, member: 193"] My paint is actually is quite good condition. You can check it out at [URL]http://www.flickr.com/photos/15095079@N05/[/URL] I wash my car myself almost every week since I repainted it.(Apart from 3-4 times when it was sent to the car wash by my mechanic ). However as the pait is over 7 months old I can see some stone chips. Recently I got some swrill marks too and one or two minor scratches. I have yet to wax the car. In fact my painter said no need to wax. He recommended washing with water only and sending it back to him annually for polishing. I got Meguair's Scratch X recently but I think I made it worse as the surface wasnt very clean. B4 I send the car for its annual polishing, I was just thinking of waxing it with the Meguairs Gold Class Wax when I still have 3/4 bottle left. I am only afraid that my [B]black paint [/B]may get more swrills on them. I am also thinking of getting the Black & Decker polisher machine by exchanging my 40000 Citibank points( I saw it selling for RM199 at Tesco today). I was just wondering whether the machine is ok or I should just use my hand to wax it. I have a old XL polishing machine that I bought from Parkson for RM50 some time back but I dont want to risk using it on my new paintwork. Arghhhh. Decisions. Comments/Advise is most welcome to an inexperienced "detailer" like me. [/QUOTE]
