yeah doing that for my new car as well. Perma Glass Clay + Perma Glass Sealant. I put another layer of Merguirs Ultimate Quick Wax.
When I'm driving my savvy all i did was use Turtle Quick Wax after every car wash done by anneh. It did a good job and maintained a 5 year old paint very well.

I got both black n white cars..
1 black car is 11 yr old, glossy. The white one is just 1 month old. all i can say is, white is harder to maintain altho i send for washing every 4-5 days.. after raining, there is some water droplets pattern on the paint and its very hard to hide that.
But my black car, just send for wash once every month but still looks wet and glossy even after raining.. black paint can hide water marks better than other paint, as long as u dont drive it thru muddy puddle of water la..

if u r fat and drives a lot in the afternoon, black is the best choice for u, because every time u park under the sun for half an hour, it'll be a super hot inside and u won't need to go to the gym to loose weight, white car will make u super fat because after 2 hours under the sun it'll still stay comfortably cool if u have good tints.

also if your car's wax is gone and u drive through the rain, u can have an excuse to clean your car because it'll be full of white / grey dust when it dries, white cars doesn't have this problem.

even if u park your black car for a few days under the roof, u can easily spot the dust even if the car is fully waxed, white car doesn't have this problem.

if there are minor scratches on the black paint, u can easily see them because those scratches will be white color. white colored scratches on a white car? their invisible.

white will look very dirty after rain. especially near the door handles and panel gaps, will get these black streaks.

my car looks good in white, but maintaining it is very difficult. u dont wash for 1 week already will look very dirty. my previous grey car, i dont wash for 1 month also no one notice.

just wash your car with normal water every week, then use shampoo once a month.

of course grey car is the easiest to maintain. u haven't actually owned a black car do u? wait till u do....

no.1 reason I wont get a white car.

my mom myvi...guess what color? (bonus question)

White !! Yes, you guessed it right. i almost thought myvi & viva comes in standard white .

white is so popular color for viva, myvi, the toyota family, civics, twincabs, insight, that it almost become standard color or default colors for those models...0mg~ just an opinion though, sorry.

grey or dark brown r nice colors to have IMO for the elegance it exudes.

almost black at night, daytime like silver....I likey!

like mitsubishi evo graphite grey.

my current color is like grey also, magnesium metallic to be exact.

silver is really the lowest maintenance color.

my other car is silver...1mth wash once, np... Lol

TS, i got 5 white car in home. so all i can say is,

White car is a hassle to clean if you hate it look dirty with black black stripes after rain.

but my advise ?

get it, if you like it, after you clean your car once a week, you will fall in love with the car quickly and easily. extra caring is like once a week into the beauty saloon for a cool off ^^

how i mantain all my car ?
once its rain, i will run around my car, take a wet micro fiber cloth and wipe around my car, and take a low pressure hose to spray the side near tyre and bumper.

sometimes its fun wiping your car dry, but hope its not gonna rain again so soon la...

i spend 30 minutes daily on molesting my car ^^
treating it like doing some workout, as well maintaining my feeling with my car, since i got 5.

if u gonna be lazy then just do some coating which cost above rm1000 then you'll be able to hose off the dirt with only water.

Not using shampoo to wash your car is one of the worst thing you can do to your car paint. Never try to clean your car just by using a cloth or plain water. Once you drive your car, there will always be dust and dirt particles on your car paint. Car shampoo will provide the necessary lubricity to minimize swirls and scratches when you're wiping the car.

agree with you....because i do the same thing as u.....hahaha...

a good micro fiber cloth is enough to keep car clean....as long as we hardworking...

I wash /wipe my car almost everyday....it is spotless..

But...overdoing it creates swirls....

Anyway, what polish you guys use huh?

Soft99 BLue can?

In my personal view… regardless what is your car’s paint colour, as long as you wash your car every week it will look great in the long run.

Just want to share my car care regimen

Washing
1) Wash my car every weekend with wash & wax type car shampoo
2) After dying-up the car, will apply a layer of meguiars quick wax or quick detailer [alternating between the 2 on each week]

Waxing (every 6-8 weeks)
1) Wash my car using a good car shampoo
2) Clay my car paint surface
3) Polish * optional depends on the car paint condition [usually I only polish my car once a year]
4) Wax the car using a good quality wax

my car grey/bronze i need to wash and quick wax it at least twice a week to make it look decent.


really cannot tahan when i see my car dirty

i guess white/black need for passion and hardwork.

Thank for you guys faithful comment. Ya.

I am wonder should I go for a nano coating shield onto my car,
It seem my colleague advise me to do so.

Prevent dirty and easy to taking care.

Protect the painting shine like new.

Can last 3-5 year at least.

Prevent from light scratching.

Pricing like rm 600-800 .

I am new about this product,it seem many different brand car coating in the market.

Which brand are recommend,any advise?

don't trust those guys that charge less than 1000 and says it can last 3-5 years.

the coating i usually do only last 6 months, the most a year, and it cost 1200.

may i know any good washing shampoo which can wipe out all the dirty like dirty waterspots, black lines etc without polishing?
