wa lol. good experience anyway i supposed xD haha cheers bro!

hmm.. i just noticed something last night. remember previously when i commented that Meg's ULW didn't seem to last.. and beading seem to lessen towards the end of the week. Well i think i have to amend that statement of mine. I think it has to do with proper application techniques. My first 2 times using ULW, i was doing a pretty rush job. Last saturday (the 7 hour session ), i tried to implement the 'priming your pad' technique by Mike Phillips and works to ensure that each area is passed at least twice. I also took my time to wait for the wax to dry and do proper final wipe. end result was, even when parking outside with scorching heat in the afternoon and heavy rain in the evening, i'm still getting very good beading even as of last night. so yes, i stand corrected, ULW does last longer much longer than 4-5 days even with extreme weather. Well how long will it actually last? honestly, i'm pretty lazy to test it out as i will be topping it up with UQD/UQW when i wash my car this saturday dont want to take chances coz my car is parked outside during working days..

yay~ same to me LOL. been trial and error few times this technique works best for me too atm

I used PPS and now still shine everytime I wash my car and really worth it. It's been 3 year +

For the 1st half year, every week I've been washing the car myself but then getting lazier and now 1-2 weeks+ only wash



Can read more about the PPS here :

Now that it is raining everyday, do you still spend time on detailing?

as i've mentioned previously using cheapo kura kura

even more reason to do detailing

totally agree xD

Since it's raining everyday, it's all the more reason to keep your paintwork protected!

Exactly

I wash and wax in the morning, wake up earlier just to do it.

Well, car tend to get dirty faster but ok lar...exercise for me.

lol i somehow tend to do it in the midnight.

night time exercise, shower then go to bed in a warm and fuzzy feeling lolz

lol me usually around evening, til night if needed xD then can sleep super well xD

Waaahhh....you guys do it so frequently ah. I wished I still had the youth and strength that you guys are showing here. After a full detail, it would take me months (or should I say more than half a year) before doing any full-day job.......

Bro, your PPS is out-of-date already la....

There, I've said it. You can start trying to defend the products now....anytime...

lol i only wash my car every 1-2 week and detail (typically just the front bonnet) like once in a blue moon

rofl harsh

Well...it's one of those days...you know. I'm just sick and tired with people trying to take advantage of the 'uninformed' public. Does he even know what Polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE or Teflon® is....?

Well....anyway....please do correct me if I'm wrong. PPS is just another sealant. Swissvax also got a wax with PTFE in it.

I quote from an article just for argument sake:

"TEFLON/PTFE Sealants

This synthetic product is sometimes sold as a paint protective sealant or cleaner sealant. Some automobile manufacturers who market these products advertise Teflon products as an extremely long lasting product, with a protection span for your vehicle’s finish for anywhere from one to five years (sometimes longer). Unfortunately, this claim is dubious.

“If nothing sticks to Teflon, how does Teflon sticks to the pan?”

The answer is: “IT DOESN’T”. The bonding between Teflon and the pan is mechanical. The surface of the pan is etched and the Teflon is applied at temperatures over 640° F. Teflon simply dries in the etched pan and mechanically adheres to it.

In order to protect any surface with Teflon, it has to be applied at a very high temperature (over 640 F). Applying a spray-on version of Teflon or mixing the Teflon with water does not effectively bond the Teflon to the surface it is being applied to. The chemical formulation necessary to make a good bond cannot be completed at low temperatures.

Even if it was possible to bond Teflon to the vehicle paint, Teflon would give a dull, flat appearance on the vehicle’s surface, since it is a dull product. So if a large enough quantity is used to “protect” the paint, the paint will, in fact appear dull, this makes the entire procedure all but useless.

Even the manufacturer of Teflon does not recommend using it as a car wax additive. DuPont Chemicals (The producer of Teflon®) has stated: “The addition of a Teflon® Fluor polymer resin does nothing to enhance the properties of a car wax. We have no data that indicates the use of Teflon® is beneficial in car waxes.”

Any rebut is very much welcome.

Anyway...PRU13 is around the corner so I'm just in that kinda mood....hahahaha.....

I do it as an exercise. The washing, then the claying, then seal-ing, then the waxing~....

BTW, I need a stronger clay bar. Where to get 1? Currently on PG, not to say not good but it always out of shape at the end of the claying.

eh what does PRU has anything to do with mood
