Today I went to Daiso and found this pretty decent microfiber cloth. Couldn't find the gsm information of the cloth, but my guess would be around 300+ gsm.



Just bought it and haven't tried out. Hopefully it won't leave any lint strands and discoloration

Anyone uses the Daiso microfiber cloth before?

Hi, normally how long that we need to polish the car? I took my car since 2011 until now no polish yet, cause one of my friend saying that new car below 5years no need to polish is that true. Now i starting to notice my car colour start to become not so bright. Honda city grey colour.

NO true. Even a brand new car out from assemble plant will be parked outside under shade, hot sun and acid rain for at least 1-3 months before deliver to your hand. Therefore contamination, swirl is highly possible happen.

Inside of 'polish', i would suggest you do claying, surface preparation first.



Common defects are these.

Your friend there *might* be right...you *might not* need to POLISH, but you'd DEFINITELY need to WAX immediately or as soon as practically possible

But if, like you said, the car 'start to become not bright' then it's definitely time to polish already.

Just shampoo alone might already exceed RM50, good stuff dun come cheap in Malaysia

If you need to detail the ride, usually you do this
Wash > Clay > Dry > PaintCleaner/Light Polish* either one > Wax or Sealant

If weekly maintenance,
Wash > Dry
or
Wash > Dry > Wax/Sealant
or
Wash > Dry > Wax Booster

Thanks

Hi g88,

Thanks for the info

The reason I put budget RM is becoz when asking for recommendation, it's better have preference / budget so that people can easily give me idea


Normally wash car kits include sponge, cloth, brush, car wash shampoo right??

For begineer like me, what you suggest to me??

Shampoo, washmitt (if not microfiber), and drying towel.

hi, can anyone recommend me some decent car wash shampoo wax? is it good? thanks

You can try Meguiars Ultimate Wash and Wax. Result is impressive.

If you are on tight budget, Osren Bubble and Wax is recommended as well.

Where to buy Osren Bubble and Wax ? What size does it come with ? Price vs Ultimate Wash and Wax ?
