I do 2 buckets method with 2 mitts, wash bucket with grit guard, rinse bucket with grit guard + wash board, 1 mitt for the top and higher areas of the car, another mitt for the lower areas of the cars eg. bumpers and those below fender height. I have another mitt for wheels specifically.

lol, my cabinet is already flooded with all kinda polish and wax, some are even more than 10 years old!

probably need a new cabinet, more urgently rather than a wax! hahaha

anyways its worth the purchase. I prefer the dry (damp application) rather than spray  and rinse

Wah come share your collections bro.. Like the warehouse collections by sifus slk and celciuz. brows.gif

Hahah is turtle wax seal and shine so powerful? Im contemplating to purchase it !!

Price to match also... Not that cheap either but it works. Like bro Celciuz has shared, there are other affordable options out there like Osren, Meg's HCW, even Soft 99 Fusso range if you need a spray wax with Sio2 type results.

QUOTE(benl40 @ Aug 10 2020, 12:28 AM)
What I noticed is this my paint is not very smooth, is it because I skipped the process of using a clay bar? Does it affect the paintwork in any way in the long run if I do not clay my car? What other tools or product will be handy and is there any other steps that I need to follow?
*
Best to clay for the best results. Without a smooth surface to start, it will not be very smooth to the touch. One thing about claying is it doesn't need to be done very often. My car was last clayed like almost a year ago and the surface is still quite smooth...

Oh right, N33d any updates on how Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic polish & wax is holding up? smile.gif

Hi bro,
I reapply on 1st of Aug due to a lot of residual from previous usage. The residual due to hard removal caked and became more visible as they started to pickup dirt. No choice but to redo.


I didn't wash the car yet last week so no update from my side. Will plan to do this week

I am using 2 bucket method also, although without grit guard.

2nd pail I use to rinse the mitt before I soak it in the 1st bucket for the wash solution.

Multiple wash mitts technique is fine so long you don't put back the used up mitts into the wash solution. Basically use 3-4 mitts then once done, put it aside and no longer use it again. There's a video by Osren on the washing techniques which was very informative.

Mini warehouse la. Wakaka.

Yea, at most now I using 2 wash mitts and 2 bucket system. I actually bought a pack of mitts from my last visit to Osren cos thought wanna try the multiple mitts technique but later think, malas to keep 5-6 mitts in the open so end up using 2 only. laugh.gif

I tend to use the mitts with generous portion of Nano/Bubble Wash since very sudsy and it does the job well.

Hmm, what I usually do is I would use hand wash to clean it.. then throw into washing machine for the remaining. So far ok... but I usually wash it first lah like rub on the grit guard wash board then spray with pressure washer a bit then hand wash it.

Ahh okok, got it. You call them the noodle mitts cos of the shape.. Yea, the grey ones... I usually use my fingers run thru the noodles upon rinsing to ensure no dirt etc is trapped before I place into the bucket containing the wash solution.

Any budget in mind bro?

Got many options out there, even the cheapo China ones which have mind-boggling prices.

Myself using Osren's Hurricane DA - I think about RM 8XX or so...

If you want the absolute cheapest maybe the below SUNPU is cheapest. Also someone sells it in a set with everything you need to polish it seems. If your budget allows, can consider going with Osren's machine & polish. They provide good after sales support. Go to their HQ they can demo for you.

I was going to recommend Shinemate but their 5inch DA price is on par with Osren now it seems.
https://shopee.com.my/SHINEMATE-ORBIRTAL-PO...7739.2280174982

So I dug around and found SUNPU which has more competitive pricing. Someone even selling it in a set with machine, pads & liquid.

https://shopee.com.my/SPTA-5''-125m...0014.1597893327

If buy from China direct even cheaper for SPTA I guess.
