hi guys,

just got my new car. plan to wash and wax it now. have been doing some reading, initially i thought of going to do coating however now i think i'd go for regular wash / wax regime instead.

a few questions here.. i saw some of you posted this (wash - clay - sealant - wax) - i understand the washing and claying part, however a bit confused with the wax and sealant.. what's the difference? was told that since my car is new it doesnt really need polishing.

which car shampoo would you recommend? preferably something that's mid-class, not that expensive but not that cheapo either lol. along with the sealant and wax, any particular models to look for?

my car is grey by the way. thanks sifus!

Hi sifus. After some reading and researching, I decided to get these products for my 1-week-old car. Appreciate any comments before I proceed to purchasing them. Still torn between some of them, hope previous users can comment..

Plan to wash, clay, wash, apply sealant, and then wax. Hope to get the Bosch GEX-125AE ROB (or should I go for Meg's DA system + a drill instead? ) Or, would hand application be sufficient for these?

Shampoo: Meg's Ultimate Wash&Wax / Optimum No Rinse
Sealant : Meg's M21 sealant / Optimum Opti-Seal
Wax: Meg's Ultimate Liquid Wax
QD: Sonax BSD / Meg's Quik Detailer

Plan to drop by Osren this weekend. Sifu KrisMas, you mentioned in one of your posts (that I digged lol) last time, the Bosch ROB can be used with LC or Sonax pads right? can I get the pad(s) at Osren? Looking to get the waxing / finishing pad.

Meg's direct MY has quite a number of good deals currently, even better priced than Lazada. Any ideas where I can get the Optimum ONR / Opti Seal / M21 sealant and esp the Sonax BSD? Saw a seller here on LYN but he seemed to be inactive..

Any thoughts would be welcomed. Thanks!

Thanks a lot bro KrisMas! now only i know that 'sealants' refer to synthetic wax. since i dont have that much of a budget.. i guess i'll just go for one of those. meg's ULW perhaps. i guess i have no need for a no-rinse wash so shall go with the normal shampoo. thanks again, will start my product-hunting now





thanks bro mot88! i do notice that the meg's DA power system is a tad small. i live in JB so found a really good deal in SG (SGD85 for the DA system) but i gotta get myself a drill, and i have also read that it can be a bit tiring like you mentioned. thanks for the pads recommendation, now i know where to find the pads after i get the bosch ROB. seen good offers in Mudah but will PM you right after, should be better offer from you right? jk bro thanks again!

by the way, are these detailing products cheaper in SG or MY?
