last time i maintain my car using permanon platinum coating + brillianshine car shampoo, after CNY now trying turtle wax carnauba wax + meguairs nxt gen shampoo.

both glossy / shine effect about the same to me (white car), but durability dunno yet...

any sifu can recommend wax/selant/coating that lasts long with weekly car wash? lazy to do detailing eh...

Thank kiu~

As i know cleaner wax has some mild abrasive cleaning agent in it, will it damage the clear coat if using it too frequent like monthly basis?

Got it, but i wish my car to be shinny so mayb i will do it 2nd one consistently

Thanks again~

Ur car must be really well kept n shines~

i do not have so many equipments, all by hands only

Thanks for your generous sharing . Last time i was using Permanon Coating, and the effect is not up to my expectation, and have to use the Brilliantshine Shampoo to maintain the caoting, which produced really less foam. So now i come back to traditional waxing method. I guess i should get a polisher instead of using hand dy.

I was thinking to do the Opti Guard too, but mayb next yr, and its pricey as well. Heard from my colleague he is using Soft99 Fusson Coat 9 Months, not sure is it a good buy.

Thanks for your advise.

1. Pearl white hatchback, 1.5 y/o
2. Heavy traveler, 80km per day. Passing by dusty construction area along my daily route.
3. Usually park indoor in home & office.
4. Was using Permanon coating previously, but now changing back to wax.
5. Wash at least once in a week.
6. The car currently has no sheeting or beading effect. Glass is maintained with Glaco.

True, some products really expensive... I wish to get the car paint maintain and gloss, and try to wax monthly as an exercise too. Meg cleaner wax + tech wax is my budget limit dy

Ohh i saw M16 in ACE. ColorX is a AIO product or similar to deep crystal cleaner?

MG GOLD CLASS TRIM DETAILER

perhaps a polisher too XD

by the way what masking tape u guys using?

yeap, last time i at a well-known shop at taman mayang pj, they provide surface preparation before apply. i think the permanon is not bad, just not up to my expectation in water beading + sheeting. the gloss also not as shining as compare to wax.

Ya, i still have ard 500ml brilliant shine. u wan? i sell u cheap cheap haha

i used zhapalang maskign tape, rm3 per roll, left residue, but not hard to remove la

RM30 come collect from me

Mayb with tat price tag we cannot expect too high

Not sure what the hardware shop guy told u, but i got mine from a stationery shop, no brand. But will leave little residue but can be removed easily by rubbing it off.

Wise words. Different people have different point of view and expectation.

*Reminds me of advise from brother g88

Hi guys, i would like to share my experiment on trying Turtle Wax Carnauba Cleaner Wax which is much cheaper than my regular wax which is the Meguair's NXT Generation® Tech Wax® 2.0. Wax is tested on 2 different cars, and they were applied on the same day.

Case 1 - Meguair's NXT Generation® Tech Wax® 2.0 (Discontinued Product)
-White color car, daily drive vechicle, park under car basement most of the time.
-Meg gold class shampoo + 3M Claying before wax is applied by hand.
-Easy to buff, white residue on plastic trim but easy to remove by wipe it off.
-Meg gold class shampoo wash once per week
-Excellent water sheeting & beading effect, great shine on white car
-Easy to wash the tar and dirt in subsequence wash.
-The wax (water sheeting and beading effect) still there after a month, paint feel smooth by hand touching

Case 2 - Turtle Wax Carnauba Cleaner Wax
-Silver color car, car for buying sayur at pasar pagi, park under roof most of the time.
-Meg gold class shampoo + 3M Claying before wax is applied by hand.
-Hard to buff when leave it too long, white residue to plastic trim and hard to remove.
-Meg gold class shampoo wash once per week
-Excellent water sheeting & beading effect, great shine on silver car
-Easy to wash the tar and dirt in subsequence wash, but effect gone lesser after each wash.
-The wax (water sheeting and beading effect) is gone half in 1st car wash, and another half in 2nd wash, and totally gone in 3rd wash.

My conclusion is Turtle Wax Carnauba Cleaner Wax performs as good as Meguair's for the 1st week. However, the wax is gone half in the 1st car wash. I feel dissapointed for my effort to apply the wax by hand and the wax gone in 2 -3 wash. No doubt the product is cheaper in price tag, but durability wise it is not as expected as per advertised.
