Based on my experience using the 2 bucket wash, changing the rinse water is important.

I use a big bucket for the rinse water and a small bucket for the car shampoo. I change the rinse water at least once sometimes twice. This means I use 2 to 3 large buckets of rinse water every time I wash my car.

Does this mean your car is very dirty

Usually on the doors especially after rain got dirty water drops "attached" to my doors

I only wash my car once a week so the dirty water drops have dried.

If there is frequent light rain and the dirt accumulates it gives a sand paper feeling

thats why with good protection, all dirt, mud, dust can be easier wash off. Typically you dun need use much pressure to wash - alot ppl tot wipe harder will get the dirt off = in a way YES but same time you also scratching the paint

That's where clay bar comes into play mah.
No need pressure. All surface dirt comes off.

I believe you can get Osren products either from the distributors in different states or from the main office in KL. Last time I emailed Osren and asked about the prices for some of the products (not bubble and wax). They did reply me with the prices, as well as some useful advises on the application/uses of various products. Also, they told me I can actually get the product directly from them and they will deliver to me via postage.

Osren Bubble and Wax can be in 4 liter or 20 liter size. Not exactly sure about the price, but I heard 4 liter one costs around RM70-80-ish price range.

Ultimate Wash and Wax is around 1.4L, and costs around RM74-ish, if I am not mistaken?

Is there any grade for washmitt/microfiber??

eg: 100% polyester

halo guys.. i duno if this is the correct place to ask or not.. my car carpet is really wet due to air cond water.. how do i dry the carpet after i fix my aircond? i cant simply leave my car open during a hot day. i stay at apartment, so i cant simply leave my car open for the whole day.. and if during weekdays, im working. so is there any other way?

vacuuming shud be another choice.
just make sure u use wet n dry vacuum cleaner.

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...

my mom said i m crazy. lol

anyone doing this?

don't. you're rubbing the dirt on the surface which means introducing swirl marks.

if you prefer doing a "pre rinse", consider purchasing a pressure washer and use that instead.

hmmm, true also...

anyway, i m just moving very gently, slowly with water running through the hand.

if thats the case, will just shoot it with the water hose then...

tq!

yeap save your strength from your other hand. but yeah, get a pressure washer. makes detailing fun

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.

I am confused on this sometimes

you don't rub the dirt, they are blasted the instant high pressure water contacts on the surface.
if anything it's a lot better than trying to have 1 hand hosing water with the other rubbing.

Scratch mostly won't but if you shoot too slow + too sharp + your have a high Psi machine...possible going to dent the car panel...



Always 'open' the widest and dun shoot too close....

Yeah....blame it on the tool/machine...
Personally I can't see how a CONSUMER RANGE pressure washer can do any harm to the paint...unless...using the dirtblaster nozzle which is....
