This looked like road film... can't be washed off using car shampoo? your possible choices is all purpose cleaner (which potentially strip/weaken your coating), CarPro Spotless or those acid based cleaners (which also potentially weaken your coating).

Or just live with it until next polish.

What about osren tough?



Jump to 4.40

Or just wait until your next coating maintenance session

If reapply and the old layer still got amy issue? Or you wash your old layer with glaco class cleaner?

As long as your windscreen is clean and clear, should be no issue to reapply..

Thanks guys for all the infos. Will further do research on it.

Tried spotless before. Spotless did remove the dark stains but it removes the coating. Also its very tiring since need to heavy scrub the whole large bonnet area.

Heavy scrub?? Wow watch out for marrings..

is there any shop that i can go to get most of the car wash stuff under one roof?

need to get some claybar, polish, shampoo and some microfiber cloth, the car section in Mr DIY or supermarket doesn't have some of stuff i'm looking for, and if order online gonna take some time because of the lazy J&T delivery

Hi guys, I just polished and waxed my car at a car detailing place.
Can I apply a layer of cerakote graphene spray ontop of the wax?
*
You could I guess, but wouldn't you waste the wax you have put on in the first place? confused.gif

Well Just did a wireless DA polisher with Baseues , yesterday whole day

Did a full car with Soft99 Meta Cleaner + 25% IPA wipe
before using Cerakote Graphite

Comments on the polisher (from some one never used a polisher before)
1. 1st level is totally not enuff power, will always need use full power
2. the size 4 Inch is okayish, but not so much in small edges of the car
3. The foam totally not Acetone resistant, the velcro fabric came apart from the foam after a dip in IPA+Acetone solution to remove the wax
4. Might try with some Compound / polisher to try on some scratch marks. Able to clean reduce some of the scratrch with the meta clean but majority still around. Also some spot that have Cerakote dried out form application way back 2019.... for sure need a compound to cut it  out
I chose this wireless cause live in a apartment where the power point not exactly friendly

with this, at least i take up 12 pm- 6pm, at my own parking spot, nobody will complain

also sort of understand that Gyeon Tar remover perhaps?
spray on a really dry surface, let it sit a while, the liquid sort of gelled up, then can wipe it away

if contact with water, seems to dilute and spread out to a thinner layer, that even IPA 90% cannot take off - but can be taken off with Meta Clean

ahhhh... the perils of white colour car....

Good review! How long does it last?

your comment make me go down to check

about your question, I use the unit from aroun1pm till 6pm
but intermittently, so cannot agak total time use
as I IPA wipe every panel after done, as I don't want the meta clean to cure on the surface

can do 1 whole car civic ketam size with a single light remaining
just check
meta clean can clean water mark, but the light scratch is still abundent all over the car

what would you guys recommend to buff out these light scratch, plus some deeper ones?
*
Would u recommend a newbie like me who does hand polish to buy this? 😅 living in condo too, recently bought worx hydroshot for car wash, nearly flood my carpark hahaha

Sent my Mazda 6 white colour for wash + wax yesterday and I found there's lots of dust stain on several spots which couldn't be washed off.

The car wash guy say it's because I park outdoor all the time, well I did park outdoor all the time but on my previous car the dust would not eat into the paint that much.

FYI I also just did 3 layer polish on early Dec last year it's sad to see so many stain already within 2 months. The place I stay does not has convenient method to wash car daily so I normally send the car to regular carwash(no wax) weekly but that apparently it couldn't stop the stain. What is the best way to keep the car from accumulating unwashable stain? I can't keep polish the car every 2 months.
*
1. Send for coating, but that would introduce waterspots
2. Do rinseless wash + spray wax.

I live in condo, so thats the best i could do. Wax should give some protection from dust & stain..

PS: regular cheap carwash will introduce scratches 😂😂

this is my first time trying detailing, i have check a few detailers around pj subang. but surprisingly one detailer who is using sealant is more expensive than ceramic coat. and he excluded the wind shield and need extra charge for both headlamp and window( 4 side and 1 at the back).

the ceramic coat one can include whole car without separate additional charges.
may i know any recommendation or price range for standard ?
*
Why not just DIY?
Spray wax got so many brands available.. only ceramic coating needs more experience to apply

Top up with high gloss tyre gel then  cool2.gif Are you not a high gloss tyre kinda guy?
Hi all sifu's here, are meg's endurance tyre gel still the favorite or are there better products these days at similar prices? There are plenty of sub RM20 transparent OEM tire gel these days that just doesn't last as long as megs and they don't smell great.

For some reason if I don't gloss the tire I don't feel the wash cycle is "complete"

I'm using soft99 black black. Someone here recommended to me last time.

I might be trying this on new ride next month
How many cycle wash does it last?

Meanwhile found Turtle products in Ace Hardware MV
*
Hmm.. no idea because i often reapply after few months. But when i wash the tyre, i wont scrub it with MPC to remove it, just clean the rims and rinse off the rims and tyre. Maybe other forumers here can answer.

Those turtle products are not the latest one, right?
