IMHO.... No

meaning it will just take longer time for the wax to cure before i can buff it off?

Generally no, cuz wax cures fairly quick, just that if it rained before u managed to buff off the residue then it will be messier to buff off. U end up wiping dry again before buffing off the residue, so double work.

Not necessary, claying is good enough to remove old wax. Paint cleaner may help brighten back the car colour and shine.

You mean meguiars paint cleaner?

If you use AIO type wax then no; if sealant type then yes.

Claying not that effective in cleaning road films, and I prefer not to load the Clay unnecessary for longer life.

Just got a new cars a couple of days ago what's the best way to maintain that new car look?

Im getting my new car very soon. White Color

So my question :

i) Do i need to polish n wax it right away?

ii) What wax brand is suitable for first protection. I have no plan to buy any expensive tools at this moment. Merely wash soap, mitt n few microfibre cloth / towel

iii) Meguiars Gold Class.. Worth the price or overrated


or is it better for me to send to car detailing centre for the first time for proper polish n wax. Then maintain it from there ?

appreciate all sifus advises here.

previously using soft 99 fusso coat (i think is AIO)...now wan to try use pinnacle sealant + wax top up..read frm internet i nid to clay and use paint cleaner in order to put sealant...wil use glaze before sealant too...

Wash weekly and wax when necessary (usually monthly). Dont drive behind big cars and lorries when high speed to avoid stone chips.

i) No to polish, white cars very hard to see scratches anyway. Yes to wax.

ii) Can try Meguiars for a start, go for Ultimate Wax instead of Gold Class if u want longer lasting.

iii) Depends on what u want to achieve. Gold Class Shampoo is mild and Gold Class Wax is Carnauba type wax as far as I know, great for weekend drivers and show cars, but not practical for daily driven cars.

As I mentioned, polish is rarely required for new cars, unless your car is 2nd hand. Coating/Sealant/Wax is recommended, else most white cars will end up turning yellow over time.

Must i clear old layer of wax before i apply new one?

Read online suggested period for 1 wax is every 2 months

So after 2 months, i must clear old wax (not sure how to get this done) before i apply new wax?

Depends on the durability of the wax that u use. The general guide for wax durability is how well the water is beading on your car during rain or car wash. Some last 2 weeks, some last 2 months.

Claying will remove old wax.

Does waxing headlight prevent it getting cloudy?

im using Meguair's ultimate paste wax on my white car, apply late sept, now also need re-apply already.
but before re-aplply new wax need to compound again, the paint surface got blackish dirt mark. due to i was busy and wash only every 2 weeks.. seems like after wax u can't be lazy and need to do weekly wash... lol
or the UPW is over rated?
read some say use dishwashing detergent can remove old wax - im not sure..
This Meguair's forum say u can use ScratchX or Ultimate compound to remove old wax

hi,

anyone use this thing before?
i just bought recently but dont know how to use.

i have the DA and the cutting pad

Osren did a video on this. The link as below.

Btw, how much is the bottle?

Got. Just apply and polish like you would normally do with paint. Just that this dry out much quicker than any polishes, so keep working area small.

Small like 1x1 / 2x2

You have that polishing disc right?

The video shown is the one in powder form. The liquid one is much easier to use

Any compound/polish/claying will remove the wax layer.
If you're just washing, very minimal. People usually top up with UQW (Ultimate Quik Wax) after wash.

Wah, so many steps for a clear glass
I just clay and spray quik wax jer.

Sorry no experience with pinnacle.

but in the video is powder type. mine cream type
rm47.40 with gst

means i polish on the dry glass without spraying any water is it?
yup , i have the polishing disc similar in the video.

this type is just watermark remover?
i realized after i polish,there is still scrathes.
