I think is not free admission event, please double confirm from their website first before going in case the ticket price too expensive.

But go into the bazzar area also need admission ticket? Crap its RM 100 for 3 days entry.

Talking about lasting, my white car still collect alot of dirt... Been using turtle wax or meguairs wax also not really happy after a week. if its rainthe car start to have the black dirt line.

I think dirt line/trace is common in our area. I have them as well on my car (especially the rear portion) which is wearing a glass coat. The question should be how easy is it for them to be wash off (by normal washing). If can easily be wash off by normal wash/shampoo then I think the wax/sealant is doing it's job just fine.

dont be so sad, take that as our metal wife mascara

you amazes me as well, since CNY you apply the ULW.
but i do concure, i myself has been washing my car weekly since i applied ULW, when washing, got take photo on water beading and the shininess after drying every week (for my own syiokness ). still beading good and still very shiny

now slowly venture into tyre/wheel cleaning. before that i just rinse with shampoo mix and wash/wipe with MF cloth, and that's it. Only now slowly slowly realise the wheel cleaning you guys talk about ain't not just rinse and wipe only. crap those proper wheel brush ain't no cheap at all! and many dedicated wheel cleaner products there.. also aint cheap. for now, planning to get degreaser FX only..

Just wanna share some stuff i got from The Rag Company. Decided to try it after watching Junkman's Microfiber Video.

Had to use a US forwarder as they don't deliver here, came up to just under RM30 per towel. Not cheap, but thought i'd check what the fuss was all about, for fun. The towels are going through a first wash now, can't wait to try em this weekend.

Here they are from left to right : White waffle weaves, Glass towel, White plush towels, Blue Edgeless towels, .



White waffle weaves - drying, glass, house windows



Blue Edgeless towels - spray wax, removing wax



White plush towels - planned to use for waterless washes but not sure yet



Glass towel - This was free

Tell us your findings with those MF ya..

the main thing with wheels, are brake dust.

so i strongly advise using something that's catered to wheels instead of a degreaser

Eye-ing on Sonax Xtreme Wheel but i guess not sold locally, right?

it is, the only thing not sold locally is their gallon sizes and if you're serious on wheels, you'll probably use a lot which isn't very economical

Really? Mind to share where I can buy it? Saw the video about that product and really impressive with it..

I have problem with brake dust.. Wash on Sunday and wheels will be covered again on Wednesday..

most supermarket sells it, else can visit Sonax hq directly

roxx, my routine/product for wheels - degreaser for tyres and apc for wheels & wheel barrels, *almost* each and every wash. Once in a while (depending on the conditions - roughly around once a month) I use a wheel cleaner (either Megs Wheel Brightener or Sonax Xtreme Wheel Cleaner) to deep clean. And yeah, brushes sold that are dedicated for detailing are quite expensive. I use whatever I can afford and improvise on others. Tips: soft bristles baby bottle brushes comes in handy for cleaning wheel barrels especially those narrow gaps between the brake calipers and the inner wheel face.

I think the blue edgeless looks like better suited for rinseless wash...due to the longer and open naps - easier to pick up and release dirt. And the white plush for wiping and drying afterwards. Just my thoughts.

Anyway, nice haul....

hmmm, degreaser no good for wheel? or degreaser not strong enough for brake dust? those catered for wheels meaning those have acidic content ah?

i noted that you mention degreaser for tyre, APC for wheel. is degreaser not really good for wheel? i thought degreaser is just a stronger form of APC, i was planning on using degreaser FX for both tyre and wheel one. and good idea that once a while clean wheel with dedicated wheel cleaner.. GF already started noting my recent expenses on car care products lol. for the wheel brush, i just got this last week. it looks abit like the expensive one. the 'bristle' is actually some kind of foam, feels like polystyrene foam. and most importantly, it can be bended/mould to shape too haha. the effectiveness is quite okay i would say. but the durability is very very questionable because on first use. already dropped a few of those 'bristle'.

not really acidic, it's just chemical that reacts to irons/metal particles.

Degreaser not so effective in removing stubborn/embedded brake dust.

ok, got it.
but but.. i've to stop keep growing my shopping list

ok noted. how about APC for wheel? (just any apc) compared to degreaser i mean. I hope i don't get it wrong that degreaser & APC is similar just that degreaser is stronger??

the degreaser FX (going to get it soon from osren ) i planned to use on interior also, for the plastic/leather dashboard. then i'll get Fabric Cleaner specially for fabric seats, ie those once spray on, a little bit of product is likely to left inside even though wipe it with damp cloth.. so far actually has not done any serious detailing on interior yet, just read and watch many youtube how-to videos haha, like autogeek & wetshine and some others. so a little advice from sifus is much appreciated

oh and the degreaser also later plan to wash engine bay when i'm confident enough.

Definitely! Just tried the White waffle weaves on windows. I've never used WWs before but i'm a believer now, at least on windows. Cleaned 2 cars using glass cleaner and just 1 towel, no streaks! But couldn't rinse off dirt with just water which i was silly to hope for, so had to use detergent. Here's a shot after 2 cars worth of windows :



Great advice, that makes more sense. I knew i was missing something. Thx man.

Degreaser is better at cleaning tires, wheel wells, and engine, vs APC. Some suggest weekly tire and wheel maintenance with APC. Whip out the degreaser / wheel brightener / Tar X / Iron X for tougher jobs?
Edit : Replace Tar X with any tar remover, replace Iron X with a decontamination cleaner like Sonax Full Effects Wheel Cleaner.
