you're welcome bro

ori reputable products like rain x = no.

so just get rain x and end of story

ace hardware, eneos, tesco.
make sure it is ori, distributed from petrolon far east or wellstock.

my personal preference is bsd as last.
wax also depending on what you use, but bsd is very versatile that you can do it before wax.

feel free to explore and find out what works for you.

just as a reminder, lsp = last step protection that includes wax and isn't really specifically towards the exact last step, eg: toppers such as bsd.

personal experience on sonax rim coating is that the durability isn't good, even after topping the rim coating with sonax bsd lol (still dies within 2-3 weeks, at most a month ish)
then again i use a LOT (3 set front 1 set rear within 1+ year/30k+ km? lol) of brakes so...
it does however make wheels easier to clean so it does serve some purpose.

have you purchased the rim coating and the wheel cleaner package? (i believe your screenshot is the wheel cleaner right?)
is this the neon yellow version that smells horrible and turn red/dark as it is taking effect?

good vid!

2 things i personally disagree though:

1) steel wool: if done improperly, may cause light scratch marks. and it may cause surface level imperfection, while potentially still not be able to remove everything thoroughly.
personally, clay, white vinegar and tooth paste. more tedious, however safer and ensure shit gets done properly.

2) wiper blade: i applaud because someone actually highlighted that ! and it's something i do too to keep my blades in optimum performance along with good glass clarity. why i disagree? i personally prefer to use megs UQD to get the blades cleaner

then, rain x washer fluid additive AND sonax nano washer fluid additive mixed small portions (water is still the majority of the mix, so you do not stain your bonnet at the nozzle area) = insanely durable rain x/sonax water beading/sheeting on the windscreen (and rear windscreen if you have a nozzle on the rear as well)

im not sifu la, krismas baru sifu

yeap best is whole process again, but don't put too much hopes into it la.
my take is, since you already got it anyways, just finish it up lo, no need waste it lol.

bsd definitely make the finishing much smoother, and the rim coating has a bit of a sticky feel that i dont like
i personally wait a couple hours. easy for me since i procrastinate a lot LOL!
in the event i do leave it until the next day, i'll just do a quick wipe with mf cloth to remove any dust, but hell BSD is a detailer as sifu krismas said, so you can actually skip the dusting off anyways

and thats what i am worried about, the newer non neon version is a bit... toned down.
sure it smells better, looks better, but isn't as aggressive/effective as before

wow, sonax BSD in new packaging, and possibly new formula as it's blue now (last time is murky/transparent colorless)

*lol how that typo came about

cheapo diluted turtle wax F21 shampoo works better

i think the F21/F lineup is obsolete, replaced with:
https://www.turtlewax.com/shop/products/tur...-wash-64-fl-oz-
"performance plus high shine" lol

I recommend against that, from minor experience and few Sifu sharing same consensus.

consider soft99

Tend to flake.

Soft99 very mild, sometimes need few more extra passes to clean, but less headache lol

meguiar/turtle wax

consider LYN automotive garage for cheaper price compared to hypercoat malaysia meguiar pricing.

claying is a good step to start with after a good car wash

yes.

more serious ones consider natural white vinegar, or specific water spot removers products.
most serious cases will require polishing or even compounding.

i personally recommend the soft 99

sonax hq (refer their facebook) or tesco

nope.

for non serious cases it can remove.
so long you understand what are water spots/how waterspots form, you'll immediately understand why clay can remove them.

Washed car yesterday night before Singapore trip

krismas lol I was lazy and remembered you saying using diluted bsd... So I just dry my car with mf cloth (a LOT of wringing LOL) and spraying bsd

nah, still got about 70-80% left, just rotated after 10k km.
yes i burn through tires like nothing lol... you see the treads gone on the sides because hard cornering lol.

get this: that is -2.3 to -2.4 negative camber, and it still wears outside like you see there

sure a ton of swirls bro, no need zoom in so much as i haven't wash the car for over half a year

eh i sprayed meguiars hot rims brake dust barrier wo

but its just a car wash la... no time detailing it

even sifu also laugh liao

oh no, weekly touge and numerous Sepang track days does that to your braking system
highest recorded temperatures on the rotors was about 400 Celsius, do that every week... yea lol.

btw i've already exhausted/discarded 3 front brake pads and 1 rear brake pads in just 40k km 2 years.
that's how much punishment i subject the car with.
