QUOTE(evolution120 @ Dec 11 2013, 02:00 PM) any detailing from groupon are mass marketed, the results you can search for yourself in this forum.shine shine has like over 400 outlets? they go for quantity, not quality. detailing takes time, time is not cheap. detailing products also not cheap. so it comes down to this: do you honestly think detailing services are that cheap? |

QUOTE(evolution120 @ Dec 11 2013, 02:17 PM) never been to these kind of places before, so totally no idea about it. bottom line:well, i did read some posts from other members saying those services from groupon is a rip off, but the 1 i saw was shine shine, so im not sure about the quality. afterall, its a kinda well known brand in malaysia. (i assume?) you care about detailing = no you cincai just nak kete look clean = suit yourself |

QUOTE(OhNooy @ Dec 17 2013, 10:22 AM) The glass are dirty as well, but easily washed off with wash mitt. Only the stains at the paintwork there is so difficult to remove. I never use the APC in my washing solution, thus washing alone did not clean up those stains. clean glass sheets of water NATURALLY, if your glass is not doing that then it's still dirty despite what you think it is.I'm thinking that the wax itself is not protecting so well, and being washed off easily. The white wax actually makes the applicator dirty. That's why I'm waxing my car every 2 weeks instead of once in a month since I already know it is not lasting. My doubt is that, since carnauba wax is a natural wax, does it "melt" and become sticky thus more prone to attract dusts during rain? Thanks sifu KrisMas for the lengthy explanation. another way to be sure is to use a plastic bag test. anyways from your case, i think you didn't do proper preparation (eg: claying) before waxing. hence the wax is performing poorly. look up meguiar's website for steps, and like most things especially detailing/painting - surface preparation is critical. again, your doubt is void as it could easily be your surface preparation as modern carnauba waxes aren't prone to melting that easily as they have synthetic polymers/carriers. |

QUOTE(Chicharito Choo @ Dec 23 2013, 12:54 PM) before i start to wash and shampoo the car, i'll use one hand to gently rub through all the paint surface and the other holding the water hose to rinse off the dirts/dusts... don't. you're rubbing the dirt on the surface which means introducing swirl marks.my mom said i m crazy. lol anyone doing this? if you prefer doing a "pre rinse", consider purchasing a pressure washer and use that instead. |

QUOTE(windskill @ Dec 23 2013, 03:18 PM) Some people don't really encourage using pressure washer as they said it might introduce scratches as well...due to the high pressure on the dirt. you don't rub the dirt, they are blasted the instant high pressure water contacts on the surface.I am confused on this sometimes if anything it's a lot better than trying to have 1 hand hosing water with the other rubbing. |
