Roger that. Thanks.


Edit: Bro, since you have both, can have picture of the front also ka? Got contrasting info when I read through info from Sonax site.

From msds 230200-544 is Sonax Xtreme Wheel Cleaner "full effect" (exactly as spelled including the quotation marks);
230300 is Sonax Xtreme Wheel Cleaner PLUS

But, curious that both are described in the msds as "colourless or light red" in colour....my 5L one is yellowish neon/florescent colour. Shucks....how many wheel cleaner do Sonax has....

Although this is outright advertising here, I have plans to ditch my G220v2(s) in lieu of getting a RUPES LHR 75E. Will be officially putting up a for sale in the Garage Sales section soon.

I mentioned G220v2(s) as I have more than 1 unit and still unsure if I'm selling all of them. wink.gif

i'm not sure if any of us here (posting on LYN) own it, since it's rather expensive for a very small toy lol...
(hand application pads costing a fraction of the price lol)

Autoglym's HD Wax as I know is highly expensive/luxury wax I never used it before I am unable to comment on it sorry  tongue.gif
*
Yeah, it associates itself with brands like Aston Martin. Expensive here but other places it's cheap. Got it in Singapore for quite a good discount. That's the only reason why I got it and because I was curious.

Anyway, it may last long with good water beading but application wise is more difficult and shine factor is ok only. In my opinion, there are better waxes for lesser price. I'll revisit it from time to time.

QUOTE(scoutfai @ Feb 26 2014, 09:56 PM)
But Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax and Meguiar's Gold Class Paste Wax I used both before. Actually still using.
I agree with you on the characteristics you observed for both of these Meguiar's products. Gold class wax will be even more beneficial on dark color car, so you should be able to gain the most from Gold Class wax by using it on your wife's dark blue car.
Gold class wax is a natural wax product, so it does not last long. I think maximum one month you have to re-apply already. Its water beading effect is not as strong as other Meguiar's product too. As for dust attraction, I deem it attracts dust quite easily, but I think that is then nature of most carnauba wax product.
*
Yes, I always thought synthetic waxes are better in handling dust than carnauba and longer lasting too. But in terms of warmth, the carnauba cannot be beaten. The Ultimate Wax looks quite good actually combining strengths from synthetic and carnauba.

QUOTE(scoutfai @ Feb 26 2014, 09:56 PM)
If we define SEALANT as something contains absolutely no natural wax content in its composition, and WAX as something consists of naturally occurring wax substance such as carnauba wax up to certain % ratio (you can never have 100% carnauba wax, because it is a solid, unusable). Then, by this definition (only by this definition), Meguiar's Ultimate Wax is a sealant, not a wax, though it has the word "wax" printed on its bottle for marketing purpose.
I actually read from Meguiar's forum that this is indeed the intended purpose because if they label it as sealant, most likely the sales will not be as good as now as average joe consumer do not understand sealant as well as wax.
Meguiar's NXT Wax by this definition is also a sealant, which Meguiar's has agree on this statement in their forum, the word WAX printed on the bottle is solely for marketing purpose.

Nevertheless, you do not have to agree on this definition. There is no detailing police who legislates the use and definition of various terminology in detailing.
*
I always associate wax as oily / greasy. With the Ultimate Wax, I thought the applicator and microfibre cloth was a little oily. Will check it out.

My cars are picture shy. blush.gif Will try and take some.

Anyway, a question to all hobbyist detailers. What's your take on the current water situation? Wash or don't wash your cars? sweat.gif

My conscience is pricking me. Perhaps I should seriously look into ONRs.

Just wanted to ask the same question regarding the water rationing crisis.
On one side, to be a citizen, we should share the responsibility with the rest of the people in this indecent time.
On another side, hell no I feel so guilty to myself to put less care on my ride.

Some radio DJ comments use washing machine left over water to wash car. I was like "great, and strip all the essential oily substance from your clear coat and dull your paint".

I have a bottle of Optimum No Rinse Wash (ONR), bought from Detailien last time, haven have chance to use it myself as washing medium but just as claying lubricant.

I think is time I put it to test. I have used Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere (WWA) before but not as washing entire car, just to wipe on localized panel area when I spot some dirt after I parked my car. I think is a good chance to try this waterless wash method also.

Right now Aeon having member card sale till 3rd of March, nationwide, all Meguiar's product 10% discount, one WWA cost about RM70+ original price, can consider get one for those who are interested.
TurtleWax rinseless wash should be on sale in Aeon too. Those who cant get ONR can try TurtleWax.

Last but not least, KrisMas got any rinseless or waterless wash in your product list?

In summary, I think we need to share the responsibility of using less water. But have to be creative and dare to try new, more water efficient washing method this time. I believe detailer/car enthusiast does not necessary equals large water waster.

Note: Previously I wrongly type Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax (UWW), I actually want to type Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere (WWA), it is a waterless washing aid.

I don't know about others, but I think DIY Detailers use way less water compared to Carwash tepi jalan. I only wash my car 3 somethimes 4 weeks once with proper water and car shampoo. The rest of the time QD and Quik Wax.

First step to conserve water without sacrificing the cleanliness of your car....use a pressure washer. It consume far less water than normal garden hose. Not to mention it could also clean your tyres, wheel wells and the underbody far more effectively than using normal hose+chemicals+brush.

scoutfai I do have some rinseless in my stash...but they're my personal ones and not for sale....hehehe....sorry, DG rinseless aren't in my friend's list also....
