No idea le, my hometown don't have jusco, tesco or Carrefour, only have giants but there don't have...

Thanks for the info, will go giant take a look when I'm free...

Osren....or lighter fluid....

Giant Bandar Puteri Puchong? Now, that gives me a reason to go Giant.

I have good experience with Osren's TAR remover, if you want some to try, I'm in Puchong this weekend, bring your own bottle and I can spare you some.

You free on Saturday afternoon? Want to pop down to Sonax's? (that is if they're open la....need to ask first)
Also can take the opportunity to go through my pads and decide for me which to let go....

the more the merrier... i think.. what happened to MyWifeCar dont want to join?

hi sifu krismas..

actually im looking for a place to do the coating..i want a coat that can repel water and dirt from destroying my car paint..do u have a place to suggest?

I see, but if compare liquid wax with wax paste, which 1 give better result?

Liquid Wax = spray wax?

Megs ULW considered paste wax?
I always tot spray waxes are for top ups and dont last that long

Time no problem for me on that day. Venue is another matter though....seems like most of my friends shops (which is not many in the first place) are closed that day....
Oh'oh....doesn't sound too good....

hi bro, curious on ur failed body coating. Got a pic?

btw anyone find meg UQW from ACE hardware? cant find from the branch in citta mall =(

Bring the IS over on Wednesday (if you're coming). Let's put a little bit of it on my test panel after we're done using the machines on it. I can't believe it's really that bad.....

Shucks....didn't go online for *almost* one day and so many pages already....
Send your car to somebody reliable to do a proper FULL detail. Get yourself a proper shampoo and wash mitt and start learning on the proper way of washing your car without causing much damage (swirls). Then arm yourself with a bottle of spray wax/sealant (eg. Optimum Car Wax, Megs Ultimate Quick Wax, Duragloss Aquawax, etc.) and a couple of pieces of good quality microfiber cloths, just spray and wipe after every two washes (if your're washing weekly)....
Aswered there.
Totally agree. I also only use the WB as and when required only. Even then, I RARELY USE anything stronger than 1:10. Most of the times are just either APC or normal shampoo.
Different chemical formulation for different conditions...that's all I know....can't explain further cuz I don't understand much of it also...hahaha....
hrrmm...didn't know about that one. Not sure whose right or wrong. But I checked their msds just now it says pH 5.5. Quite consitant with my 'test'

Not-so-scientific and not-so-accurate...but roughly can get the idea. Oh...have to also remember one thing though - pH level doesn't really mean much if we're talking about safe or not on what surface. If you dip a litmus paper into a heavily diluted acid it would still read pH 13...it's the CONCENTRATION that counts....

i managed to try out the OCW sample that was provided to me by Bro KrisMas. The only other spray wax that i've used is Meg's UQW. So i'm only able to do a premature comparison between these 2.

What i liked about OCW is that it is easy to use, just like the UQW, its just mist and wipe off. Streaking will be present if you use too much, so do not overspray. 2-3 sprays should cover one door panel. It also does not within trim. In fact it darkens the trim. I like this effect. Not able to see durability results yet

to be honest, i prefer the gloss and 'darkening' of the paint effect of the UQW. But i'm willing to trade that for more durability.

oh ya, i noticed that OCW has some larger white particles which are quite noticeable when sprayed on the paint surface. no biggie though, easily wiped off.
