KrisMas... the liquid that u said alkaline to clear the water mark and you use to clean that jumbo rim(not that sonax), what liquid was that again?

There's some sort of GB going on, might want to contact Krismas regarding it. It's dilutable and doesn't necessarily needs to be used neat.

sonax...mayb u can just buy from Krimas directly since he have so much.

For something as strong as the Wheel Brightener, I don't think it should be used regularly, something like every 6 months is fine. Using it still requires some agitation. After hitting your wheels with WB or Sonax, your weekly or bi-weekly wheel washing should be very easy using normal shampoo plus some APC once in a while.

Erkk! I don't think acid-based cleaners should go anywhere near a painted surface

APC/degreasers would be a better choice if you want it for multiple application

Meg's WB. We are sharing the gallon down to probably a quart per person.

Aww man, missed the last meet I've always wanted to get a feel of those machines as I don't dare to try it without the feeling that something really wrong may happen. Gotta learn the correction techniques from the pros

Btw guys, what's a good spray wax to recommend? I'm on OCW and it's fantastic with its speed and ease, but I will want to try something new once the I'm done with the bottle. DG Aquawax anyone?

I've got a sample of Surf City Garage's Barrier Reef liquid wax as well too, no experience with them yet but it'll be a good test for the car that sits outside in sun and rain 24/7

The last time I had OCW on the same car it lasted less than two weeks.

What waxes do you guys use anyway?

The car's paint was relatively clean which didn't facilitate claying, but it was during the rainy season so the wax was put to the test.

New car? That means this Iswara will be gone?

This is the reason why I want to apply coating on my car. What you are looking at is after effect of after driving during heavy rain.

I still wax my car, really. Car detailing is just an exercise for me.

Sorry for the hologram, amateur detailer is like that.

Depending on how much you are willing to spend.

What I'll do in a rush is to spray the recently-rained car with water to wash off the rain - at least pipe water would be much less of contaminants but the water hardness may vary.  Or better yet if you have a distiller, pouring two 1.5 litre bottles over your car should do the trick.

Done. hahaha....I think I've read it but forgot to reply, sorry ya....

Actually just wanted to clean a bird poo, so decide to use OPC....
  stain after spray. Very very upset.

Lesson learned. Never spray OPC directly onto car paint. If you must, spray on the cloth and wipe.

After that spend 30 minutes with M101 just to remove the stubborn stain...      which was suppose to be a 5 minutes(top) job.

That is the standard market price for QD and UQD bro. Cheap would be a 15 or 20% discount on top of it sadly i think the last promo just ended.. lucky i managed to stock up on UQD and UQW

My experience with our weather and dirty city environment, normal strength shampoo mix aren't able to totally clean the surface, hence effecting the beading/sheeting effects. One way of finding out is to wipe the surface with some sort of QD or spray wax and see whether the cloth would pick up any dirt or not.

Isn't it disheartening to see that after wash, your clay is still able to pick up some dirt? Especially oil stain.

I always have this feeling and wonder if there is any shampoo that can just do all that.

Someone do sell 3M clay here. But never use before ...
