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 found two tiny white dots on my car.
I think the two dots is most likely to be white paint.
My car is dark grey.

Any idea how to remove it?
I've tried claying without any success.

How do you all remove wax from grooves?

After I have waxed the roof of my car I notice there is dried wax inside the groove lines on the roof.

just got my hand on autoglym hd car wax last weekend during my visit to australia. much cheaper compare to the selling price here. satisfied with the gloss and shine of my car.

now i want to get a clay bar to clay my car once in a while. this one quite good and review also not bad from autogeek.

http://www.autogeek.net/motcalgolcla.html

can be found in ace hardware shop. but not sure about local pricing.
