Been away for quite some time due to discouraged by the compounding result Probably due to not having a good torchlight to inspect the result, and bad skill too, plus the car was in good condition already. M105 + ultimate polish with microfiber cutting pad/orange LC pad

What do you guys use for tire and rim cleaning + shine?
I'm currently looking at:
Tire cleaning megs D108 super degreaser/D101 APC + endurance tire gel
Rim cleaning megs D140 + any wax

Anyone looking for grit guard set with washboard can look for me got some extras

Couldn't stand my tiny water pressure anymore.

Buying Karcher pressure washer soon. K2 should be sufficient? Max 100bar pressure. I'm sure with a pressure washer the car wash would be so much more fun

How's the noise though?

Induction motor used in K3.450 for example should reduce the amount of noise.. A Chinese (China) told me that Karcher's motor are being phased out in China since they're moving onto induction motors..

Probably getting a chinese pressure washer. Let's see

No budget at the moment, and dayum k5 costs more than 1k still a starter with pressure washer so a 110bar max pressure will do. Placed my order for chinese made pressure washer, 110 bar, induction motor, top reputed brand in China.

I'll review here once I get it

2017 has been good.

Started off with putting more emphasis on car aesthetics, despite the fact that they're not mine but building on foundations once I got a car of my own after started working

Finally got a full set of DA, pads, solutions for compounding and polishing, pressure washer etc etc. I hope this won't be a 3 minute thing and I'll put more effort into this in 2018

Wax on, wax off

Been busy. Haven't been back home so couldn't snap picture of all

Below is my new routine wash since I recently just got foam lance to add some fun!


Grit guard is S size so it fits normal bucket

How to remove these? Megs gold class shampoo won't be able to remove it. Too lazy to prep the surface and polish it

Dishwasher liquid cannot? I recall it can remove some black residue right

Yo guys

What do you use to coat the windshield? Do people still use Rain X these days?

My dad has been using for years and so am I since I was unable to find a substitute. But Rain X being a ASoTV (As Seen on TV) product it works but there has to be a better consumer product out there which lasts longer and causing less problem to wiper I reckon
How often do you polish your windshield then?

In my case, wiper juddering often occur when I apply rain X on a untreated windshield. It does happen for a short period then after that it's like seasoned to it

Now that I have not been top up a fresh layer of rain X on it, the water spots started to build up and wiper started to judder again

I'm supposed to do ceriglass and rain X today but it's now raining so heavily

I'm totally the opposite, windshield bothers me the most. I enjoy looking at the rainwater gliding away a lot

Looks good. Does it last?

I may consider bringing in the SRP 1L in. How good is it?

Edit: Maybe not cause fasmoto prices too cheap out of stock though. Currently focusing on meguiars D series products first

Anyone uses megs D140 here? Wheel brightener. The cleaning power on the rim abit sux.

Spray, leave it for 30 seconds and brush.

Would a iron fallout remover works better?

I use super degrease for tires, it works well but need a lot brushing and elbow power. And probably around 3 rounds of brushing. Diluted 1:4. Works fine and I've still got a lot so I don't plan to try out another products.

Wheel brightener (rim) I use it for outer surface and once in a while inner rim. Lacking cleaning power probably due to brush quality (low density) if not due to the product.. Been eyeing on the iron fallout but they said it looks good but the cleaning power worse than wheel brightener

To finish off, of course is megs endurance tire gel

Will try But wheel brightener for tires is a big no-no because acidic.

Do you wipe rim with microfibre clothes after washing and do you wax your it?
