So I got myself a bottle of Turtle Wax Zip wax. It's a wash+wax solution. Instructions ask me to use warm water but if I use cold water, what would happen?

im using that for my regular "not giving much fuck about detailing but the car is soiled beyond belief after months of not washing" washes, rm2x/bottle and typically buy on promotion/sales.

i always used cold water, and yes nothing extraordinary happens.
no issue with cold water.

Have yet to try it but I wonder if the "wax" is enough to make my car shiny? lol

Guess if I wanna make my car have that kind of polished look, I gotta get some proper wax I guess hmm.gif

Any suggestions?

The wax from turtle wax, I believe, is very light and minimal.

Thanks.

Btw, Meguiar Quick Wax:

Or Meguiar Black Wax?

http://www.lazada.com.my/meguiars-g6207-bl...wax-944152.html

My assumption is that the Quick Wax will not last as long as the "proper" black wax? And probably won't look as good as proper wax? hmm.gif

which wax is not the main issue here

if you clearcoat is in good condition and almost free from defects, any wax can makes it shine like pro
if your clearcoat is in bad shape, no wax can help

Clearcoat as in the coating on top of the car paint?

If so, seems ok, no defects or scratches,etc. Just dusty and not shiny.

Btw, wax should be able to repel/resist dust right?

my seriousness is 4 out of 5? i am stingy and chossy..

I want to find value for money product.. budget not much as it do the works its ok for me.. and i willing to learn n do some works.. my budget maybe below 50 if possible.. usually i bought those cheap product that do the almost same job

Go for this. Free shipping too.

http://www.lazada.com.my/magic101-value-pack-1403763.html

Also add in some microfiber towel if u want else use the softest towel you have to dry your car (risk is you may scratch your car paintwork/clearcoat)

Get a couple of sponges from Mr Diy. About RM5 for 2 big sponges and 4 small ones.

So far I've only spent around RM70 and my black car looks much better than before. Shiny lol.. Using RM15 wax.

Which rm 15 wax? This brand I bought the car shampoo before.. The bottle packaging really can spill all the shampoo out when it placed horizontal.. I take it out and pour into mineral water bottle lol.. So u use all those stuff in the package? Rm2x it's quite cheap
*
MEZX brand or something. Got it from Aeon. 20% discount.

RM2X is kinda cheap also and a good opportunity for me to try their products. So far, their Tyre Shine product is doing good ! smile.gif

hehe , so other product sucks in the package?
I not sure wanted to start from where lol...
Wax u using MEZX? shampoo using which? or any other product?

Still noob, u wax after washing car and dry it rite? if we not good in waxing, will it damage our paint?

Need some guide..
My budget should be around 50-100.
What should i buy ? recommended stuff shampoo and wax?

Haven't tried the other Magic 101 products. Just received it yesterday lol. On a side note, I got 2 microfiber towels at only RM15 each! (try to use microfiber as it helps reduce water streaks)

Yes wax using MEZX. The cheapest at AEON for the volume. Shampoo using Turtle Wax Wash and Wax. Recommended to get it at Ace Hardware if you want this model, get the 2L one, only a few ringgit more than the 1L one. Damn regretted. You could also try other car shampoo brands (like the magic 101 set).

Actually if your car is full of scratches and all, you should Polish it. If still in good condition, the paintwork and all, waxing is good enough. Wax after washing and drying your car. Try not to get those quick spray wax as it's not meant to be standalone wax and they don't last. Get those paste or liquid wax (hint: Magic 101) as your primary wax (probably monthly application) and you can get quick wax as a secondary layer (probably weekly application).

Waxing is just adding a layer of "oil" like substance on your car. I don't know how incorrect application will do any harm lol. Just watch some videos on how to apply.

Other products to consider, rain repellent, tyre cleaner, tyre shine (makes your tyres look black and slick), dashboard cleaner/protector, leather protector, microfiber towels, tons of sponges...

Honestly, no brained to try the Magic 101 set. You get to try 5 products at only RM2X with free shipping! You can never find such a deal anywhere else.

Turtle Wax is the name of a brand lol laugh.gif It's a car shampoo + wax but the amount of wax is so little so it's negligible.
