Hi everyone. May I know where can I get isopropyl alchohol (IPA) over the counter? I went to most of the pharmacies, and they only have alcohol swab.

i see.. i tot only got at hardware and car acc shop.
no wonder i cudnt find it.

Just to check and confirm if yourself is OCD not.

I am. And most of the guys that DIY are too~

Congratulation on the new toy. 
Is the car wash kit free gift from the shop?

Interesting demonstration although I do not know how many commercial hype is involves.

g88 Do we have water filter that has ability to do water softening in Malaysia?
Are those less than RM100 water filter like the follow:

able to achieve water softening?
This kind of filter easily obtain in normal store or shop and the filter core also very economic. If it can do the job then it is really worth.

Trust you then. 
Then what option I have in Malaysia?

Sometime I see some houses outside got this big tanker thing:



These are water softener right? Are this suitable to use?
Roughly how much damage will be on our wallet?

Is that means one can just buy the resin (wonder how much it costs) and put it in any long height tank and just simply water flow through the resin will get the process done?

Why the picture you post got a electric supply for the device? Not just flowing water only?

Seem like a very cost demanding device to use on a long run. 

I think the reason I care about it now because I suffer from the effect, and the effect is something I can notice it. My shampoo effectiveness reduced, and it happened quite a lot of time recently compare to old time. I don't know why, but this change of water quality definitely dislike it.
If the water softening system is like RM3K and one year change once only, then yah actually I will invest into it. because not only can use for wash car, other home usage also will be benefited. But heck now I know that it needs to be recharged every few days interval and the recharge concentrate salt solution need to buy also, then it becomes too unaffordable for my current financial ability. Even if I won a lottery and can own the machine at the beginning it is still unaffordable in the long run. So got to call off the idea, at least for now.

Another reason is simply for sake of knowledge & curiosity only. Knowing more will not harm mah, right? 
Maybe one day in future got salesman come promote me water softening system and claim something like buy once never need to invest into recharge the resin again, then I know this is a con.

Hmmmmm.... Anyone can help?

If you mean this one then yes I have. What do you want to know?



But, in general, don't like the gun...bought it for RM60 & sold it off soon afterwrds. Uses too much shampoo and put out too little sud/foam.

Yeap, i have the grey one. Here were my RM0.02 :
You probably meant D115. Meguiars recommends to use on a dry surface, to prevent further dilution of product, saw it on the Megs forums somewhere.

If you're worried that the car is too dirty, skip the D115 and do a 2 bucket wash? But honestly the D115 can be used on rather dirty cars, just use it wet by spraying more product and use lots of towels.

Should be D115 rinse free express wash and wax, aka equivalent to Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere?

And, D156 xpress synthetic spray wax aka equivalent Ultimate Quik Wax?
