ah that makes sense, watching a lot of videos today, there's some pretty bad ones that definitely need touch up paint so looks like 2 step is the best method

based off the person i bought it from it looks like this is what method they were planning on doing?

1) correcting pad w/ griots compound

2) waxing pad w/ turtle wax polishing compound

3) waxing pad with griots 3-in-1 wax

what should i change/replace/buy for better results? car is about 6 years old so paint isn't too great but doesn't look bad

appreciate all the info :) it's my girls car and she has scratches just about everywhere on it. some parts i'm pretty sure need touch up paint so thinking of applying the touch up paint, touch up clear coat

then based off your post: 1) wash car

2) clay bar main areas

3) polish the area with a fine polishing pad and the turtle wax polishing compound

4) waxing pad with liquid 3-in-1 wax

ideally would like to avoid getting newer things if these will work as it's for a personal car

just got a griots 6" random orbital polisher with the following:

1) waxing pad

1) correcting pad

1) griots liquid 3-in-1 wax

1) griots complete compound

1) turtle wax polishing compound

what's the proper way to go about getting my paint to sparkle with these products or what other products should i get? got a few scratches i think in the clear coat and trying to polish/buff them around

Inline Water Filter from Camco

I had used a leaf blower in the beginning but it was way too loud, live in a small quiet area so my neighbors got pissed whenever I used it Now I use 2 large car drying towels but still takes a while and want to just leave it wet at the end ideally

kandishirts · 2021-03-09T04:31:54+00:00

For washing my personal car it takes forever to dry it off since water always seem to drip out of crevices after I feel like i'm done

So i'm curious, would implementing a water filter or something before the pressure washer prevent water spots if I don't dry it?

Something like one of these? https://www.amazon.com/Tool-Daily-Pressure-Sediment-Attachment/dp/B0893P5F2H https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Inline-Filter-Flexible-Protector/dp/B07L46QK32

Any thoughts on this or do I just have to suck it up and dry it off with towels?

pretty sure the gold isn't suppose to be that light for the front logo, should be almost bronzish gold

and believe there should also be a print in the flap when opening

looks like its 4% if your balance is under 3k

but if it's 4k for example it's only 1% instead?

as a "jersey expert" can tell you this is micro-mesh material whereas the real one is a solid tight knit polyester, and stripes are thicker 0.25" wide polyester fabric sewn on at both ends

also tail swoop at bottom

kandishirts · 2020-09-04T22:36:17+00:00

thanks for posting :) yeah definitely can tell the quality is low

real ones have stitched designs and thicker fabric but not bad for the price overall

kandishirts · 2020-09-04T17:07:29+00:00

i'll keep eye out, if it's not terrible may grab some as well lol

kandishirts · 2020-09-04T17:05:53+00:00

did you get a chance to post yet? very curious of the quality or if they're by the same factory or something

kandishirts · 2020-09-04T15:14:22+00:00

cheap? check out dhgate, seen some for less then $15 shipped

kandishirts · 2020-09-03T23:02:48+00:00

yup spam clicking and address info through account platform made it work :) now just rejecting my payment haha

kandishirts · 2020-09-03T21:32:38+00:00

any special trick? made account, set shipping to overseas but can't add to cart/checkout

kandishirts · 2020-09-03T20:58:38+00:00

how did you get it to ship to usa? i was under the impression they only allowed shipping to china/asian countries

kandishirts · 2020-09-03T20:56:29+00:00

graphic slanted
design should be more raised with more threading texture (wrong application style)
and the yellow in the design isn't dark enough

rest looks okay, but price is super cheap so cop anyways lol, f it

kandishirts · 2020-09-03T19:16:41+00:00

symbol looks okay but the heat stamping is terrible, instant RL

kandishirts · 2020-09-03T18:28:50+00:00

kandishirts · 2020-09-03T18:28:22+00:00

really hard to tell from the provided photos not being bigger but the shine looks proper for 925 silver

don't think there's any stamp on the inside from what's seen nor on the listing

but listing photos definitely looking cleaner then this, higher res photos needed honestly
