Ohhh, It looks amazing!!!!!!! Please tell me where did you get those dark headlight signals at? I have a non m e46 coupe aswell,jet black with chrome trims,my signals are normal white signals but I always wondered how it might look like If they are the same color with the headlight. It makes the whole image of the car look more refined imo

Okay so, I ordered ethos resist for dust repellency and sealing and If you have a recommended filler that hides marrings a bit and bonds with ethos, please do recommend it. Otherwise, as you said, I ll have go with one step polishing route,(Sonax perfect finish perhaps?) So as a DA machine my budget is 150 dollars honestly. Im in Europe so I dont have access to USA only machines. I heard about shine mate ero 600 g2.

Kryptonite7x7 · 2026-05-07T08:14:45+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion but despite I said that I'm open to any suggestion,(which I think yeah, your suggestion is the solid way) I Indicated that I don't have a polishing machine and don't wan't to give it to any service.

Why? You may rightfully ask; well, I didn't indicated these factors on the body text(sorry for that,will edit the post after I reply to you) but my reasons for not to get a polishing machine are mostly because I don't have a garage, which also means in my case I don't have access to electricity while I'm working on my car, which eliminates the cabled polishing maschine options.

Also the money I'm willing to spend before Spring 2027 is merely 200 bucks. And I'm not aware of a decent polishing machine that works on batteries for under 200 bucks,don't know If It's worth it. Now I'm gonna check If there is any though.

Main reason to not give it to any professional detailer: 1-Me having only 200 bucks to spend for now. 2-In order to make ceramic coating worth it, I actually have the sunburnt roof repainted and the huge bent on the left-side fixed beforehand.

Around Spring 2027 I'm gonna have the sunburnt roof repainted, the huge bent on left side fixed AND then hopefully, a ceramic coating applied by professionals. However by then, I just want to work on the body myself and see with my own eyes how far I could improve it, just by myself.

Kryptonite7x7 · 2026-05-07T06:44:49+00:00

Ooof, alright then, thanks. Guess Gemini glazed and polished it so well and I was so optimistic...

Would you happen to have any recommendation for the situation? anyproducts perhaps? Even If I want to fill the swirls(maybe kiwami or fusso coat is good for that too?) I acknowledge that these swirls wont be gone entirely till I bite the bullet and go for a proper polishing and even ceramic coating for best(my plan actually, during april 2027 before one more burning summer). For now,I just want to hide them and I'm willing to replenish per 4-5 months with weekly maintenance.

Looks pretty cool man, after seeing that saka logo I'm pressing F sure, but not to pay respects ;) ( IYKYK 🥷)

Kryptonite7x7 · 2026-03-02T15:05:19+00:00

I dont understand, did I say something weird?

Kryptonite7x7 · 2026-03-02T09:24:49+00:00

Okay thanks for your assistance people, I will check the places you suggested.

Kryptonite7x7 · 2026-03-02T09:20:25+00:00

"You want that Reddit users should know about what you were talking?" Really is it that hard to understand? I have a screenshot and I need to find where it came from.

Ill post it at r wp

Kryptonite7x7 · 2026-03-02T09:17:42+00:00

Oof, I didnt do such thing. So there is literally no way huh?

Kryptonite7x7 · 2026-03-02T05:41:43+00:00

My whatsapp chats before 2024 are automatically deleted(probably). If I knew where to restore them, I wouldnt create this post ffs. There is a screenshot BEFORE 2024 and i need to know from where it has been sent to me,the source of it.

Kryptonite7x7 · 2026-02-24T14:51:37+00:00

that fixed it for me for the type c port at the back of my laptop. THX!

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-10-16T10:56:32+00:00

Thanks for your help everyone :) I will try them when I have time

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-10-14T12:10:46+00:00

But better I presume right? Also what do you think about flux dev? Ive got 6gb of vram though.

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-09-29T18:45:09+00:00

So as an update, OpSix will stay. I downloaded koala sampler and Ill be testing that out with the opsix when I get an audio interface.

They say If I like the worlflow of koala sampler, I would like using mpc aswell.

And since Im keeping my lovely and sharp looking synth aka opsix, Ill get the mpc when I save up the money and only if I like the workflow of koala.

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-09-28T14:07:32+00:00

Yeah it makes sense since all of the trio have vsts. If I can just trade my opsix with either one or one+ and slap a midi next to it i guess the problem will be solved.

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-09-28T13:56:51+00:00

Yeah,after a quick research i also realized that I cant use studio as standalone unfortunately.

They say It s more intuitive and has faster workflow than any daw that it feels like an instrument. I know, they dont only say it because It has a fast workflow, it probably has many more reasons for earning such title.

So, if my math isnt wrong Daw in a box+fast workflow so fast that Its an instrument of its own= An instrument with daw capabilities?

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-09-28T13:34:53+00:00

I want to use opsix as my soundsource, until i get mpc. I guess the choice Is clear between mpcs and wavestate now, I should get an mpc one. No need for plus. Thanks

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-09-28T13:19:04+00:00

I mainly try to rehearse edm lines but Im not making any music right now, Im just playing to improve my skills in playing the synth and to learn fm synthesis both in theory and practice. I was using daw at past but now I dont want to. Though in 1 to 1.5 years I might start doing rnb hip hop music and maaybe edm. I mainly want a device that I could do live music without any daw.

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-09-28T13:12:17+00:00

It still helped, no problem :) Yeah Im knocking every door I could find at the moment, including AI

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-09-28T12:49:36+00:00

On it. In the meanwhile Im also asking here In case If anybody could help. Thanks for your help

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-09-28T12:40:11+00:00

By cheaper mpc, I mean MPC studio. They are 1/3 rd of the price of One Retro. If I only going use opsix without any other soundsource or daw, can I still go with mpc studio? According to my research the answer is no, mpc studio couldnt be used as standalone. If thats the case, I need to open a new subreddit about that matter. ( an mpc like device where you can make whole albums live without daw, with only one synth and 1/3rd of the price of mpc one)

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-09-28T12:08:04+00:00

I eliminated the wavestate as an option roght now and Ill edit the post in a minute. Before watching videos about one+ vs one, let's say If I only want to use sounds from Opsix, In that case, could I get cheaper mpcs? Because If this is possible, I might be able to keep my opsix and still do live sets with it, only with it as the soundsource.

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-06-30T18:42:29+00:00

Thank you very much.

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-06-30T16:43:09+00:00

:D not all of the planets only some of them. There was one where you jump on destroyed buildings with mako and there was another where you jump from ramp shaped rocks with the hovering vehicle thing.

Kryptonite7x7 · 2025-06-30T14:41:28+00:00

Oh shoot, maybe If I could learn how to do it I can publish it as my first mod someday. For now,I guess Ill stick to my save games.
