Tesco Extra sells F21 car wash for cheaper, about RM28 or less the last time I was there. Ace goes for around RM32 I think? It was my first bottle since my foray into detailing as well so the scent has a bit of nostalgia laugh.gif

haha i'm still on f21, currently on their 2nd bottle ever since i started taking up detailing as my hobby laugh.gif (prior that, either months of no wash, or lol bangla)
still a long way to go on finishing them (and i still got a LOT of TW zip wash and wax, like 2 big bottles + 1 small one free, 1 of which i bought cuz on promotion, buy 1 free 1 smaller LOL) so yea, not looking forward to shampoos for a VERY long time.
http://twitpic.com/cj92ft

same goes for my polishing as my TW polish compound is still full ish as i rarely polish my car.
only TW wheel cleaner/paste wax finishing soon, so i can move on to megs WB/sonax WCE/APC combo  brows.gif

oh and for rims, tentatively aiming dodo irongloss sealant, pricing not too steep, and provides decent durability for at least 5-6 months biggrin.gif

Spare me some APC, can?

I have the TW F21 and the Meg NXT wash.
The F21 is about RM30 and the NXT about RM55.

With the F21 I dilute 30ml to about 3 liters plus of water.
The suds disappears quite fast. Before I finish washing my car the soap water looks like plain water shakehead.gif

With the NXT I dilute 15ml to about 2 liters plus of water.
The suds can last quite long. When I finish washing my car there are still suds in the bucket thumbup.gif

I am officially shocked at the prices of Meguiar's products in ACE Hardware.

Big price gap between their products and Turtle Wax!

well if you compare to Turtle Wax's Platinum or Ice range, its EVEN more shocking smile.gif

Assuming both at the same price, recommended dilution (on the label), OPC - neat to 1:3~5, APC 1:4 ~ 1:10.....
