hahahaha.. .Enough power to generate good amount of snow foam ? or need high chemical dilution to overcome lack of power from the washer?
*
Definitely need more chemical.. but at least now can power wash instead of rinseless all the time if the car gets too dirty..

can you share your osren washing steps ?
spray it after you wet your car and just wipe it off ?

For rinseless wash?
I use garden spray to spray whole car. At least got some pressure to push any dirt off. Then use microfibre cloth (folded in 4), dip in pail with rinseless solution and wipe on car. If can, try not to do too many passes on the same surface. After whole car done, wipe dry with osren ultra drying towel.

For tyres, i use osren wheel cleaner for rims and meguiars mpc for tyre. Then rinse off using the gadden spray.

You pressure wash very close is it? Anyways, the nozzle if you go too close... it is indeed very harsh haha... imagine you put your hands at about 1 meter away, then slowly go in closer you'll understand.

Maybe accidentally.. i thought that it would repel water but i guess in this case maybe it couldn't repel the snow foam.. 😅

Wait, you mean you snow foam also it comes off? This one cannot be... more likely when your pressure washer washing then go very near yes it will come off.
*
Maybe i did snow foam / pressure wash too near it. Cause i noticed there were water droplets sticking to the side mirror when i was drying my car.

QUOTE(voscar @ Feb 27 2022, 07:59 PM)
Possible, what detergent you used? If CarPro Iron-X Snow Wash then yes it will strip off wax if not permanent coating type. I used this before apply coating to wash off any wax or polishing oil, and as coating decontamination wash once per month.
*
IGL blizzard, supposedly wont affect but maybe i sprayed too hard on it like celciuz said

Hi guys, new owner of a granite grey myvi here.

I noticed after 2 weeks, some rain stains/marks start to appear. Especially after wash during wiping, can see little water marks appear on the bonnet and roof.

Any products to recommend and how to apply? Its my first new car so I don't mind putting more effort into maintaining it. I have a bottle of old Soft99 meta clean, can use?

Thanks in advance.
*
Can try IGL delete, they usually got offer in shopee n lazada during sale. If not u can use meta clean first and see if works.. but do put wax for some protection since nowadays keep raining..

Not sure if this is the right place to ask.
I got my car slightly more than 1 week. I noticed the wrinkled leather steering wheel at 3 and 9o'clock position.
Is this normal or considered as manufacturer defect?
*
My car leather seats also wrinkled. My driver side is wrinkled compared to passenger. I tried using tw leather conditioner but it will still happens i guess. U can try claim with sc actually

hmm.gif then it can only be 2 things:-

either your mirror was not properly prepped when you apply the zero coating OR your snow foam is too high in alkaline rating then again, you should buy ULTRA GLACO instead, that thing is more durable than the zero coating.

But thats for windscreen right?

Hi, guys, can recommend a good glass ceramic coating? For glass & windows.

Cause just to share: like previously all the forumners have mentioned, not advisable to use RainX nor glaco's due to (If I am not wrong) these chemicals normally consists of silicone which means if continuous use, no problems but it happens when there is a gap or stop using. Deteriorated layer will cause wiper judders which can be worsen for windscreen.

That's why one paint shop asked me to look for glass ceramic coatings. I searched shopee and there are plenty of fake or useless products even sold thousands, don't know which one is the authentic one. Read from this forum that actually at certain price range, we can get the real thing already just don't know which one is which. Kindly enlighten. Thanks in advance!

I have seen igl got offer on their ecocoat window but i have never used it simply because alot of steps and mistakes can happen like Waliuuu said.
I have not have wiper judder issues due to glaco, usually it goes away if it happens after i clean the wipers

Not sure, because when they finish spray the liquid, all the dirt wear off automatically.
They don't even go and brush my rims, just spray with water and it is all clean.. hmm.gif

Should be iron remover. Spray and let it dwell, then just rinse off

Hi I am building a basic car wash kit for my car.

My car is applied with Ceramic Coating and PPF on certain area.

Since I am new I dont want to start with a bang in fear i may just give up and give to shop to wash.

What do you think of this kit with the above consideration being PPF and ceramic coated.

Went with Osrean in Shopee official shop as they have everything I think I mostly likely need under one roof (dont want to buy from various vendor)

Price wise they seems to be quite reasonable and having good feedback without going to those unknown random brand (would love to get Sonax or Meguiars but prices starts to stack up when buying multiple items)

I not sure if foamer is required for Luminous Automotive Wash or I can just wash it via 2/3 bucket method

Pls advise me
*
Yup i recommend to start off with osren as they have everything u need.
I also started off with osren. Can just do bucket method with Bubble wash. If u want more details, can visit their store at Kepong. They sell in bigger, cheaper volume too.
