Never ever get the tree sap on your car! Previously my car gotten sap from mango tree and it was very very difficult to remove.
Try to use some tar spot remover (which might work) on the tree sap and it might work. But no guarantee.

Thanks for sharing.

I myself use meguiars endurance too. Have to be applied thinly cause it slings. Durability is close to 2 weeks. One bottle can last more than a year even applying for several cars. Still have half left

Yup a bottle lasts very long. But I'm more inclined to go for Opti-Bond in future as it can be used for interior. One product kautim all.

Just bought a new Tafetta White Accord and was recommended by the sales to do a "coating". Did a search on what "coating" means and understand that it's an additional hard surface to protect the paint and in addition to that, may make the car more aesthetically more appealing because it also makes the car shines?

Google reveals a lot of offerings but unsure which is the best at an affordable price.

Any recommendations?

Hai ! First of all, Wishing all muslim Selamat Hari Raya.
Any guys or gals tried 3m Quick Wax with carnauba. Saw it display on the 3m rack at aeon.
Thought of buying as it is quite cheap compare to meguiar uqw. Anyone has tried it before? How does it fair in terms of durability, shine/gloss , slickness?
Thanks

Haven't tried this version but I'd tried another version of 3M auto essentials spray wax and it's no good. Feels like fragrance water with nothing left behind after wiping off.
See my comparison here.

40 days and 6 washes since the car waxed. Strong water beading even the car is s covered with dust. Is this result of a good wax?

Good and instresting write up. Appreciate your review on your blog.
Any other types of spray wax with good durability/ proctection that does not cost an arm or leg?
Wondering if this 3m spray wax with carnauba, same as the auto essentials spray wax but with additional carnauba.
Surely someone on this side have at least bought and try the 3M spray wax with carnauba. Please do comment.

Looks pretty good for 40 days. Is the car put under car porch most of the time?

Yes the car is under car porch most of the time but it is a half shaded car porch where more than 50% of the car is exposed to direct sunlight most of the time especially during northern summer season.

It is actually done by a poor man's paste wax cost rm9.50 made by China by autocare or xin qiu (it has both name on it. Lol).

I think they just copy the ingredient of Japanese wax fusso coat. I never use real fusso coat but the result seems like the same with fusso coat video. Not sure about durability and Uv protection though.

Good stuff. Where to buy? BTW, what car shampoo do you use? That, I believe, will have an effect on how long the wax will last.

Thanks for the review. I have been using diluted APC 1:10 to clean my wheels and rims. It's not pH not neutral either. Not sure the long term effect of alkaline to rim and tyre.

How's the cleaning ability of the product? Probably I should try out CG Diablo Gel wheel cleaner soon if the product works effectively on removing brake dust etc.

I get the wax from Brothers. The main drawback of the wax is extremely slow curing time which is almost a week if you apply it thick (yes it is thicker when you apply thick layer). If it happen to rain on the next day after wax, you would see wax stain on dark color car and need to remove and reapply again. The wax is not easy off if left for more than 1 min though. Swipe test does not apply with the wax as it will never haze or dry even left for hours.

The car shampoo I'm using is magic 101 wash and wax. OTC from Tesco. Kinda cheap at around rm16 when it is on yellow tag.

Cleaning ability is good. Plenty of suds. Comparable to Autoglym if not better. It tends to "stick" on the wheels and does not run off like other wheel cleaners, which seems to encapsulate dirt better.
