Carplan

No, I knew those wild cats always climb and sit on top of my car roof, maybe it's cleaner and feel nicer compare to other cars in neighborhood.
What I mean is, maybe after apply sealant, the surface is too "slippery" to cats, so they use paw to crawl up instead of usual climbing action, which causes deep obvious scratch mark...

yes agree. usually car with many stone chips meaning the car is slow, on slow lane behind a lorry. coz the car has no power to overtake or driver doesn't drive fast.
mine bonnet full of stone chips coz i follow highway speed and some lorry driving same speed in front as well. If i'm driving at fast lane above legal speed, can avoids many of it.

if car park outdoor, frequent wash (once or twice per week) and do spray sealant once per month.

Polish only if required (dirty paint), while wax/sealant can be done periodically (once per month). Polish may strip down minor clear-coat depending its abrasiveness.

I'm using Carplan Mirror Gloss Sealant. Last time bought 2 bottles @ RM38 each. WOWA type without requiring buffing, I just add sprayer then spray and wipe. Slick to touch and water beading good.
However, although water beading means when driving water will repel like rain droplets, but if car not driven and let the rain water dries by sun, the dirtiness will be obvious, can see the circular rain dust, hard to describe...

You buka car detailing center? Wow...

If liquid type WOWA Wipe On Walk Away sealant, durability should be 1 month of expose outdoor daily without roof. You can apply once a month as process take less than 20 mins.

Do it yourself would be the answer if afraid of swirl. Black car owner here speaking of experience. Else just close one eye and enjoy your ride.

Don't use cheap coating product, it wouldn't lasts and easily gets water spots. Mine lasted 4 months then totally no more water beading at roof and bonnet area, heavily water spots stained. I parked my car 24x7 outdoor and wash it myself every 1-2 week. Previously without coating I used to hand polish and wax myself every 3 months which maintained more satisfying paintwork. With cheap coating you'll get mad looking at those water spots stain when you washing your own car.

Hi Bosses, found this blue bottle Meguiar's Marine RV Quik Wax at ACE Hardware shop, it says clean and protect in a single mist and wipe off, looks irresistible as it says can gently cleans water spot or contaminant.

Is this safe to use on metallic car paint? Plan to buy and apply every month, seems easy job for lazy person like me. Please advise.

sure no harm to car paint? if no problem i will buy 1 marine grade quik wax to try, hehe.

strange Meguiar's quik wax (spray type) seems to lasts longer than Soft99 MetaClean cleaner wax. 1 month back I applied quik wax on my car, 1 panel have to clean-up using MetaClean due to the quik wax smearing and cannot buff off, looks like oily stained so have to use MetaClean to get rid of that...

for almost 1 month the car 24x7 outdoor never washed due to overseas trip and bad haze (actually lazy reason :0).

Yesterday 1st time wash after 1 month, most panels have reasonable sheeting when apply shampoo, just only the panel 1 used Metaclean and see the shampoo smearing effect to the body. Actually I forgot but keep thinking what's wrong with that panel only to recall that, haha.

yes my Meguiar's Quik Wax blue bottle streak happens too, on some surface it's more visible.

Marine/RV grade of Quik Wax, haha.

I bought it because have the cleaning ability.
Cleaning power is ok, some minor tree saps dot/dirty can be removed.
Water beading lost to Mirror Gloss Sealant in which MGS truly excels. That MGS I add sprayer use like WOWA sealant, damn easy to apply and no need buff off. But no cleaning power.

Auto Finish.

Can use Glo-White for black car or not? I'm looking on strong shampoo in hope to minimize the effort for polishing out the water spot/tree saps residue.

How's the cleaning power? Is it really able to clean black strip on white car? I plan to buy and use it to wash my car once per 3 months + wax after wash so I can minimize the polishing step, normal wash will still use wash&wax, haha.

Hi all Bosses, just want to check after respray paint on car does it requires to do polish? My car just respray and the Boss ask me to collect, but the worker there told me to revisit on Sunday after 1 month to do polish while the Boss never mention anything on polish job. Can I use Turtle Wax Polish Compound hand applicator polish myself?

I see, is it to get rid of the orange peel?
I feel because I requested the cheapest paint (for used car selling type), the paint shop owner want to finish fast and collect fund, so ask me to collect car without polish job; while the worker there honest and inform me can go back to do polish and used the reasoning "to let the paint fully cured" before polishing job...
