car detailing newbie here...
just wanted to ask whats the difference between shampoo designed for car wash and normal sabun?

normal sabun means wat? Quality car shampoo normally clean but mild type.. they r formulated to clean but not to strip wax thats why some shampoo really exp.

hi thanks for reply..

normal sabun means those wash cloth sabun ah...dish plate sabun ah...some people use that to wash car but I feel it is not suitable....

so the wax job is actually protecting the car paint? or just prevent the car being longer time to be dirty?

serve both purpose.. wax will protect ur car paint and make it shine. At the same time it give licin surface so dust dont easily stain even stain also easily remove. But regular car wash still required...

some pro member here use dish washing liquid when they wan to strip wax.. i do that too i normally wash with car shampoo mix with dish washing liquid when i wash and follow by claying process

btw basuh baju punya sabun for car wash i never heard before.. 

then how long a wax job can last long usually?

thats mean after wax, need to wash car with car shampoo to prevent the wax gone?

and whats the situation will cause you strip the wax? doesnt it better if the wax still there since it is protecting?

got leh my fren is using dynamo to wash his car... I was feel like "can meh?"

sorry about too much question as I am new in this ...read alot post but still dont understand the process of detailing due to poor language level...

My latest project, orange peel removal

Before

After

11) Final outcome

After all LSP finish applied.







Now the engine detailing is considered done for me.

Last but not least, try to start the engine and check if all electrical equipment function normally.

Because de-greasing has been done, but some part of the engine actually is better to have grease, such as the pulley shaft, the batter terminal sponge (if you have it), one can re-apply again manually. For me I usually spray a light coat of silicon lubricant on these area.

One can certainly bring up the level of engine bay detailing depending on how many resources you have. For example if you have a steamer, you can do steam cleaning, which is very efficient in removing gunk. If you have long brush, you can reach to the very bottom of the engine bay and do much more brushing.

The method I used is certainly not the only method and it is only best suited for me at the moment. As time progress I might change, you should too.

Finally I hope you enjoy reading my engine bay detailing post. Cheers.

Dear Sifus,

How to clean tree sap, birds dropping without scratching the car paint? I noticed some tree saps are quite hard to remove...

Thanks.

Yeah I did, wanna buy Wash & Wax and planning to top up my UQW.
But Megs Direct out of stock 

Both out of stock

Cheap le...but I don't have a need for this. So I share with you guys lor

If you are looking for UQW, get this instead. It's the same thing and goes by the gallon. Cheaper if compare price/volume.

Bro, you've tried this (Meguiar's Paint Protect)? Any good?

Does it need to be mixed? like part 1 cup Synthetic X-Press and 4 cups water?
I bought liao, so..maybe in the future.

Nope. Like I said, I don't think I need it, cause I enjoy waxing every now and then. But promotion over Liao. Sob

Based on what I have read. This is for non- enthusiast. Protection last long, beading mediocre, shine level low. Its main selling point is still long lasting protection.

Tire shine anyone?
