QUOTE(GRexer @ Apr 10 2013, 10:46 AM) Man.. I can only say you have a lot of enthusiasm. I don't actually detail my own truck, well, first, because it's HUGE, and second, it's a company car. So I guess I rather just send it out for random car washes and come home complaining haha, like ppl said, no one will care more to ur own car other than u urself xD cheers bro~ |

QUOTE(KrisMas @ Apr 12 2013, 09:51 AM) Well...the Sonax works well for embedded/stubborn brake dust/iron contaminant but not so good in removing soil, dirt, oil film, etc. lol u know the products well haha thanks for sharing I'm not actually using both together. All depends on what 'need' to be done. For normal weekly cleaning I just use an all purpose cleaner (Megs APC at 10:1). Wheel Brightener when/if I see the wheels requires something stronger or after doing heavy mileage (like balik kampung), ie. plenty of brake dust. I now only use the Sonax more for 'decontamination' job, i.e. those times when I want go for full details with the wheels taken off. Or when I just feel like having a little bit of fun watching the wheels turn purple....hehehe.... |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Apr 15 2013, 12:59 AM) btw to speed up drying process (and reference to previous TS of this thread), would you give an "ok" to using soft silicone wipers to quickly sheet away water before wafer weave/chamois drying? the directions also mentioned to NOT apply force and i can easily see why especially if the silicone wiper picked up dirt and can easily damage the finishing. however if one is careful, making sure after wipes to wash/inspect the blade, and of course gentle/no force applied wipes, should be no problem right? am using that too lol, otherwise it would take too many dry cloths to dry them off xD so far no problem for me, of coz use it w/o force/pressure is the key. Just sharing btw, was nothing better to do last weekend, so i tried permanon > meguair's wax & detailer lol only firt front part of the car tho, just for testing xD it's too bad i don have 'before' and 'after' for comparison, but personally i found it more shiny Wonder how long this can last xD excuse me for a long post xD sifu-sifu here please help me~ I have 2 problems here(refer to pic #1 and #2 below) 1. How to reduce this damn persistent dirt? As u see from the pic, the whiter area is after i applied from wax, amazingly wax can remove it -.-, so any other way to do it? I wash car twice a week, and after abt 1 month, this happens lol -.- everytime. Damn annoying la =( FYI, i parked my car w/o covered place, 24/7  2. My paint seems f***ed up lol, any idea how to cure? =( It's strange that only this part of the car become like this.  This post has been edited by acefreakz: Apr 15 2013, 08:33 AM |

QUOTE(thom_chai @ Apr 15 2013, 08:45 AM) Looks like most white car will have this problem. No choice but to wash and wax regularly to minimize chances of dirt to bond with the paint. Dirt are more apparent on white paint unfortunately. My bro's white car also suffer from this. =( that sucks xD bo bian lo then haha i love white xD |
