Why would a wash wax maintain need weekly while gold class monthly?

Might to explain more on it?

Anyone?

if we wanna polish/wax, we will need to clay off the wax layer on the paint so no point to use UWW. normal car shampoo will do. for weekly maintenance, we need protection so UWW + UQW/ULW will do. that is my personal opinion. i dont think the UWW contain much wax in it so if you dont mind you can still use it.

If use Ultimate wash and wax , do we stil need Quick Wax ? I thought only if we use gold class , then we need to use Quick Wax

polish more lol

ahaha.. you have come to realize orange peel. Only way is to level the paint. bro krimas can help you with that.. for me, i'm learning to live it it for the time being, until i have learned up the necessary skills to tackle it.

Those are 'orange peels'.

Denim/velvet pads // heavy compound // rotary -> compound & polish

or

SANDPAPER -> compound & polish

Spend my last holiday with this oxidised baby

Krismas, I could use your car as a mirror already hahaha.

This is done over 2 days, one car at a time using a rotator with 5-6' country lake wool for polishing with ORSEN Crystal Cut 3.0. Then its finish with Mothers wax from Ace Hardware using old sponge and good old hand job.

What do ya think for 1st timer?

That is quite a transformation...

Nahhh....it's just the camera angle and lighting conditions....

Thanks man. The ride belongs to a friend and it has never been polished before.


Seriously, it's looking real good there. What sandpaper grit that you used to sand the surface?

Thanks.

That was done...like...4 yrs ago. Started with 1500 then finished off with this before polishing:

U done with machine? Can be done with hand if im using 2000 sandpaper?

Looks good. Did you refine with milder polish after crystal cut 3.0? Btw, it will be better to use a proper foam applicator pad to apply wax. I think Ace hardware should carry some of those haha.

Those were pics from years back, just want to show the difference after leveling the orange peel...not 100% though, but good enough. I used the 1500 grit then 2500 grit sandpaper by hand, but the compounding/polishing with a rotary.

Nowadays lazy already and using these:

That foam applicator came with Mothers. I did not refine further with Perfect Cut 2.0, too tired (lazy) . Main objective was to get rid of the swirl and water mark in particular on the car top and bonnet. Let see how long it last though i mostly parked it under shade or in basement..
