I heard the seller say ULW is more easy and faster way to apply , and it dry faster too ,some old school paste wax u need some pressure to apply and hand will sour , because it's too stick , is that true?
*
yes and no i guess. better wax can bead/sheet water better, hence less drying effort. however any wax worth their salt (even the cheap rm2x turtle wax paste that lasts for f***ing ever) would still have decent water beading/sheeting that you never have to apply any pressure during drying assuming your drying cloth isn't completely shit as well.

Another question, if I may. Did your claying remove the permanon as well? I was thinking maybe those waterspots are just sitting on the protection and haven't etched into the clear coat. Hence your claying removed the protection, together with all the waterspots with it. This is one of the role of protective coatings (may it be wax/sealant/coatings/etc.), to protect/minimize the clear coat underneath from damages. So, it might not work that well if there was no protection on the paint.

i'm thinking of this as well notworthy.gif

wd40 can be easily removed/washed with most APC/car shampoo smile.gif
if you somehow left it too long/dried (please don't lol) can consider stronger cleaners such as degreasers

Wash with shampoo, dont just clean with QD, that will scratch the paint. Will suggest rinse down the car and wash with shampoo and dry it. I usually do this after rain. Sometimes the rain bring down alot contaminant to the paint, for safer method will suggest you wash the car with shampoo.
*
if it rained and washed most of the dirt, assuming the car was previous well waxed and within a week's time or so, doing with QD should be fine as it has lubricating properties in it

there is a reason why people generally recommend QD as clay lube, no?

let say outside is raining now and i just arrived home , do i direct spray the QD and wipe off with microfiber or dry it up first only QD ?
Or let it overnight and dry itself , only QD next day ?
*
directly spray while it is wet is fine. better that way actually, aids in drying too biggrin.gif

if leave overnight, whatever dirt/contaminants the rain bring will solidify on your car and it'll be even harder to get rid of it. and what muyo said earlier will be more of a concern.

If whole week raining , i have to wash my car each time i back from town?  cry.gif

with good LSP (wax/coating etc) rain water hardly sticks on the car and after a mere simple drive the air drag/wind resistance will blow any remaining water beads away laugh.gif

so nah, not exactly.
though if you're already doing weekly car washes, i don't see how it's a problem to just wait a few days despite being rainy season.

If the car is waxed earlier then should be fine to do it with QD but however I still find is not so safe to wipe it like that (my own preference la) I would straight go to shampoo. Since the rain already bring down the dirt to the surface as well just wash it with shampoo (I find more safer to prevent scratches) if you have jet spray then is good to give a rinse then wipe with QD. Depends also la if the rain stop and you spot not much dirt then can go for QD, I've seen my car after rain the surface looks matt in color although I have a layer of wax but I still go for washing the whole car with shampoo and re-wax with spray wax.

aye agree, really depends on the situation and own's preference (i'm more on the lazy side laugh.gif )
