Hi guys, I got my first new car that is white.

Planning to buy and apply sealant on my car so that I don't need to wax it so frequently.

What are the average to good brand sealant and the cost? Also, can I apply it after I wash my car with Turtle Wax's car shampoo, without any polishing and so on?

Osren products are pretty good and affordable.
Personally I use optimim no rinse (onr) as my clay lube, quick detailer and interior cleaner. Must get product IMO

I have similar concern.

I looked up the internet and found this:
Step1: wash & rinse
Step2: clay and dry
Step3: polish
Step4: wax

I just got my meguiars clay kit yesterday, and a TW polishing compound.

Super excited to get started on it either today or tomorrow. =)

hye,I'm new here...can some one share step by step how to do basic car wash?
my car both are black..

so far what i do is

1.use water n spray all over the car
2.use sponge so wipe
3.use water to rinse
4.use old cloth to wipe tyre n wax tyre

looks like the result is...hurmmmm..

You should go to tesco to buy some microfiber clothes at only rm 10+ with 3 clothes. Also use car shampoo, because water won't do much cleaning off dirty and grime if your car is dirty or hasn't wash for weeks. Water only used when your car is very pristinely clean.

Step 1. Prepare two bucket one for the car shampoo and another with only water for rinsing your washing cloth

Step 2. Wash the hood then bonnet and boot. After that only wash the door panel and lastly the bumpers. Remember to frequently rinse your washing cloth. To clear off dusty and dirt.

Step 3 rinse your car thoroughly with the hose. And use a microfiber towel ( wet the cloths first ) to dry your car with the same procedure hood, bonnet, boot those....

Step 4 if your car is dirty. Go aeon or any automobile store to get a clay bar for car. And clay every surface of your car. Also remember to use the car soap for lubricatio while clay bar the car.

Finally, your car is super clean so you can apply a layer of wax or sealant. Apply by section and wait the wax or sealant to dry and buff it off.

After the you should maintain your car by washing it at least once per week and remember to top up the wax on your car around once per month it depends on where you park your car

i hope u understand because my english is bad.tq so much sir

go with coating. a good coating can last you almost 2/3 years

Well of course you don't really need to dry your car until it's like very dry. Wrong washing method can induced swirls mean micro scratches on your car. Same as goes to drying your car.

Make sure you don't wipe the car rigorously just to dry the surface, this will scratch the paint even though you are using microfiber towel. After washing the car, fold the microfiber in half and start wiping the car surface in straight line. If you left little water streak it okay. Eventually the water will dry itself.

For tyre, also go tesco there a cheap brush with soft bristle. Use car soap again if you want to save money. If not go get a chemical for tyre. Use the brush to brush the rim first the side wall of the tyre then you are done.

When washing the car, remember to wash the tyre first then only you move on to washing the car. After everything is dry. Use wax on your car and tyre you can get the tyre shine on. Most tyre shine come with a sponge in the package. Squeeze around two drops of tyre shine on the sponge and apply it on the tyre.

Always remember, the key of getting good wax and tyre shine protection to last long is to get the car paint and the tyre to be clean enough to let the wax or the tyre to stick onto the surface.

tq very much on ur informative reply will try it out

Coating cost way too much. I can't pay the amount yet for just coating right now. Waxing and sealant is more affordable option for me now.

Get turtle wax Ice premium sealant that will last you a long time. I applied mine on my Vios it held up good until one month before I topup more wax. I park my car outside during the day. Get it at ace hardware or any mall like aeon.

Price around 130 bucks. Trust me it last a long time. Coz I'm using it right now not even reach half of the can. It's about half year now.

Hi Sifu Sifu sekalian, where can i buy the halogen lamp stand in malaysia?

Halogen one not sure lol. LED one you can try Osren.

ace hardware

Yes, already bought TW ICE wax, rm120++. Still no time to apply it yet.

Make sure you clean the paint surface to bare naked. After washing, clay the surface if it has swirl polish it. Then only the wax will stick well on the surface. Indeed very nice wax, plus now my car water beading is very good it's been a month since i waxed it.

You will know when you need to topup the wax. When you wash your car you will notice the water beading is not so effective. And also use good quality car shampoo I know you own the turtle wax shampoo. Happy detailing ya

Thanks, just too bad I don't have the time and place to wash my car.

I am going for this....

2 month old car...
after clay no need to polish the whole car i guess, just the parts with minor scratches.

I recommend to get a paint cleaner for paint cleansing/mild polishing and primer to begin.
really brings out the shine. Some dirts are not removable by clay.

Dear sifus, I'm trying to redo my polish and wax.

From around the internet, I read about "stripping it down" which basically means to get rid of the previous coat of polish & wax.

How do I "strip it down"?
