Living in condo but with washbay. Currently looking to buy washmitt and wax. What is the difference between water wax (spray) and cream ? I believe water wax will be more newbie-friendly right?
Now my process is :
1. rinse
2. wash with shampoo (using microfibre cloth)
3. dry (using microfibre cloth)
Just now I noticed that my car have some tiny fine scratch marks nearby the side mirror.. looks very similar the nail scratches.. no idea how they get there  rclxub.gif

Spray wax nowadays quite good already. Easier and faster to apply also.
Scratches could be how you wash the car. Start from top to bottom and use 1 bucket method if can, meaning multiple microfibre and dont reuse/redip into wash bucket to avoid any contamination..

tint getting oily or people smoke in rear or something?

maybe somehow air flow to your rear windows good? outside cold inside hot = fog.
you can try having more aircond fan (and less air cond temp so you dont freeze) to circulate air around the car better.
you mean 2 (or 3) bucket method? XD
*
Yeah i suspect too cold at the back.. 😁
Eh 1 bucket la.. just dump all the mf in and wipe..

QUOTE(christ14 @ Apr 25 2021, 01:30 AM)
mostly incurred due to washing technique....

i stay in condo too so most easiest is to rinse

buy LOADS of mf towel cheap2 one idc LOL. roof use 1, door panel use 4 (flip inside out upside down), hood, bumper, tail

dont mix, dont wana contaminate. i dont have the luxury of grit guard like many sifus here but i have 2 buckets of water and i dump osren shampoo into a spray bottle and spray on panels then wash then rinse  icon_rolleyes.gif  many jobs but what to do

i dont dry because errr osren si02 can be used on wet as sealant

then dah buff sio2, use S&b
*
Nice.. my condo no washbay.. so im stuck with rinseless wash.. god knows how many swirls now.. lol
Your method is good too.. saves time and money

I'm using it. Convenient for me as I'm staying in apartment, and there's no water source and power outlet for a conventional pressure washer. 1 18L bucket of water is enough for me to rinse off dirt and then rinse off after shampoo. Pressure wise, so-so only, not that strong, but I guess that's my best option I can have and I'm satisfied

U do rinseless wash or foam?
Im stayin in condo too. Can share what method and soap u use?

One week I'll do a no rinse wash using ONR, if it's quite dirty, then I might use the pressure washer to rinse off the dirt first before using ONR.

The next week I'll do normal wash, using Optimum Car Wash. Rinse off dirt using pressure washer, Optimum Car Wash and then rinse off shampoo and finally wipe dry the car. Then I just alternate between these 2.

Both method using 2 bucket wash system. I will fill up 3 buckets of water in my unit first before bringing them down:
1) 7L bucket (for shampoo),
2) 18L bucket (for rinse and contain 2x grit guard)
3) 20L bucket (for pressure washer)

Thats alot of water! My condo parking indoors, no drain if i use that much water, it will wet other people's car park..
Thanks for sharing! I'll KIV this for 5.5 sale later..

I am facing this problem too... Even after all purpose cleaner and IPA wipe, the haze/ oil film still appears after few days. Gonna try with anti-fog but... you just mentioned not working lol. I suspect something to do with window's tint? Weird.. For now i just wipe with a glass cloth every now and then sad.gif
*
Previously i used waterless (purewax) for interior. But my windows got fogged up one day during heavy storm, so i thought why not look into antifog and see. Manatau lagi worse..
I suspect the chemical too since its supposed to be bonded to the glass, not tint. I put it on both my car n wife's. Later will update on this, coz my wife's car no tint..
