hmm.gif Turtle got 20 buck wax? Got to check it out then. That fella want to wax his sticker car. ph34r.gif

i started out using that ma.

for sticker car, better use something that's easier (without requiring buffing off) such as meguiar's quik wax (spray type)

just spray on and wipe and that's it, no need to buff off, very ez stuff 5-10 mins can finish wax whole car.

RRP is rm5x, however SupremeCareForYou could probably give you better price, more so if you buy more meguiar's stuff from him wink.gif

Using that last time. Manyak haze if leave it like paste.
Now using Waxco paste. Not bad but why will dirty the pad even after clay one.  rclxub.gif
*
never had any haze or whatsoever, just spray on wipe off.

and if it dirties pads, it's most likely:
- cleaner wax/aio's
- you never wash/clay properly
- possibly both

Never mentioned any cleaner.

"cleaner wax" are basically wax that contains minor/mild abrasives to work as a very light/mild polish as well. your pads get dirty from it because of that effect.

So the cost will be one karcher + another 400-300  for a foam lance? wheres a good place to get them? ace?
*
i got my karcher from ace, just went there recently for some contact cleaners/cables and i saw they have the k2.5 or something on promotion. slight regret i got mine earlier.

but eh mine's made in germany while the other k2's are made in china, and i guess i trust the germans more LOL

for the foam lance, you'll have to import/source elsewhere, ace doesn't have them sad.gif

liquid form wax means...spray on and wipe off instantly...m i correct? those paste wax is applying first then wait for a while then only wipe off with dry cloth?
*
liquid form are usually put on applicator/machine and apply, buff off after haze/certain curing period.

spray ons are the typical spray on wipe off, or spray on wait for haze/cure and buff off.

i dun wan the spray wax...i wan to find the type that i apply the wax and spread it section by section...then wait after a while wipe off with another cloth...so that one is wax paste?
*
why won't you want spray wax? they are the most versatile and convenient of all waxes, the only thing they typically lack is durability, and usually more expensive. that said, megs quik wax are in the rm5x range, not exactly that expensive too if you ask me.

and spray wax are the safest to go with if your cars are stickers/vinyl loaded smile.gif

what you described, can be paste wax, or liquid wax. liquid are typically easier to apply, and usually works well with machines such as dual action polishers/random orbiter/rotaries while most paste wax couldn't work with machines as they lack lubrication/oil to avoid paint burn.

So, basically it's some abrassives mix with baking soda and alkaline in nature....those water marks didn't stand a chance!! But...hrrrmm....*could* cause some swirls on the glass as well though being silica...

Add: comes to think about it, it does sound a little bit like cif/jif cream.....
