a noob question.

Does all the microfibre towel the same? or there are actually differences?

For examples, meguiars brand microfibre towel is quite expensive.

nope. different in thread count like your bedsheet

My meguairs liquid wax turned into water like no solid or creamy within already...is it expired or bad product quality? Bought about one and half years ago and used half confused.gif

Did u try share and remix it ?
usually will have 3 years shelf life span. Possible due to contaminated from external or you kept in humidity area causing chemical seperated /spoiled

Hello guys, yesterday, first time did full wax on my car, result was okay but some parts I was not really sure.
1. For meguiars paste wax, I let it cure for 3-5 mins then when I proceed to wipe off, they have this flaky wax residue, is it normal? 

Previously I did mention my hood have some water marks and unfortunately,  the wax didn't manage to remove the marks.
2. So should I use compound and polish off the water marks??

Lastly, after waxing yesterday, it rained for the whole freaking day, the water beadings sit on the paint in the shopping mall carpark as I tried to escape the rain. It dried off and left marks as well, so much for effort for waxing.
3. So I wanna know what you guys do after the car has been in the rain.
*
how old is your paintwork ? colour ?

1. try to describe in layman term your preparation, process and method of the application

2. wax do not have cleaning power hence cannot remove watermark or contamination

3. back to question 1 and 2. any photo to show ?

Hi sifus, what is the best way to dry up these beehive grill after washing rather than wiping it one by one which is torturing? One of the way I could think is using air gun but staying at apartment have no power socket at car park and also convenient of bring it in and out as well as necessary to buy one just for drying up these beehive.

Yea that's what I do sometimes tongue.gif but not practical by consuming more unnecessary fuel and wear on car parts. What makes worst is I wash after rain, it pick up more dirt to the car by 'drying' on the street shakehead.gif

hi guys.

i'm new to detailing, I applied Soft 99 Fusso wax onto my new white car (solid).

the water marks are horrendous (black), and difficult to clean by car wash shampoo, can only cleaned using microfibre + lots of energy when dry.

Any recommended wax can apply on top of the fusso wax to reduce this water mark ?

happen after rained and overnight under moonlight + dried u with next day sunlight ?

Hi all, i know it dumb question but im serious. what the diff between the masking tape in car retailer used and the normal masking tape? will normal masking tape damage the paint? thank for sifus explaination.
*
In short and layman - the stickiness

1. Masking tape - cheap and sticky (by luck you may find some expensive ones that is less sticky - not easy) - commonly come in light beige colour
2. Painters tape - the name said it all and its alot more expensive in malaysia (not easy to find - except ACE Hardware). Less sticky and easy to remove without tearing it - commonly come in subaru/nokia electric blue colour or green sometime (Mostly by 3M).

Western detailer use specific tape unlike Asian = tape = the stickier then better biggrin.gif

99% detailer go for No. 1

After looking around some, I found this undercarriage pressure cleaner.

Undercarriage pressure cleaner fitting

Would prefer one with the wheels on the sides instead of the bottom but it looks like this will work.

Anyone have one of these? Or perhaps a similar undercarriage cleaner?

without scrubbing its useless unless your source is from pressure washer (yet you can see what you clean)...

Many detailer only detail what they can see and reach... cool2.gif
