You will need
- lambswool washmit
- Drying MF cloths
- Bucket with Grit Guard
- Wax buff MF

that should be enough to get you started

Give the new Nano Wash 2.0 a try...

lagi shiok.... try it with a PW foam gun

should be RM100+.

Normally we try to avoid repaint due to
1. Bad repaint finish
2. Rattles/missing parts/screws

i just bought ultima waterless wash along with some cheap foam and CG wash mitt from thr
no tax pun.. safely arrived to my doorstep

How long does it take bro? And shipping fee estimate how much?

i bought it together with other things so the shipping is around 200
buy that alone, around rm100 for shipping
took me a week+ only, ordered on 14th, received on 23th

Some products combine polish+wax/sealant. Many of the common waxes on the shelves like - Kit/Formula1, permaglass contain abit of abrasives to fix minor defects and have good cleaning ability. Some products are called polishes but have little to zero abrasives - duragloss #105, Zaino Z2.

All in one polish/wax products are very useful for saving time when there is just a little ingrained dirt that needs cleaning.

Thought of buying from Amazon as well. Do they pack liquid stuff (such as liquid wax,polish) properly to avoid getting compressed?

they packed mine with box with around 20% empty space stuffed it with air bubble material around my products.. my UWW could move around freely inside when i shook the box, but its movement is cushioned by those materials and the container came out without any dent. So, i guess you dont have to worry about that.

My new wax:
https://www.amazon.com/P21S-12700W-Carnauba...x/dp/B002LOP5E4

anyone used this wax before?

Hopefully my stuffs reach here without any problem.

nice ride..btw, look like u did not wipe off ur wax properly, the lower right side of the front bumper got white residue. haha and also in the front parking sensor

hmm dont think u should soak the car with plain water and wipe it off.. it will incur some swirls as water is not lubricating enuf. if you insist wanna do that, at least get some kind of waterless wash or quick detailers.. you need to be a lot careful with black car. paint imperfect really shines thru the black

I think you need to define what you meant by didn't help at all.

However, dirt from rain and dirt from not using your car are different types. Starting with the easier one, dirt that settles on your car from lack of use can be easily wiped off with a detailer or waterless wash, or even dusted off (but you might not want to do that). But dirt from driving on a wet Road in light rain (where there is a lot of water kicked up) will stick to your car quite stubbornly, wax or not. I usually wait for my weekly wash to get those off. Hosing your car can only be helpful if you take the trouble to dry it, however you are risking scratches and you might not be able to lift all of it off your car especially if the water from the road has dried. Waterless wash helps a bit but I find that risky if it's too dirty. Black cars especially.

At the end of the day keep trying until you find a regime that works for you. All the best!

Well that's the problem with black color car. The color is either for lazy slob, or a car lover. Black color get slightly dusty in just few hours indeed because any containmination is just too obvious when the car is shinny clean. There's nothing much you can do. Just wash it every week. Only reapply wax on the panel where water beads badly.

Hello sifus, would like to seek advise. My Honda City has a lot of scratches on piano black finish, plastic I guess. Would Meguiar's PlastX help?

Don't despair, it should work. Remember to start on a small area (don't hentam the whole thing) and apply some rigorous elbow grease. Then wipe off the polish and check if it works (less scratches, no hazing) before moving to the whole piece. You might also want to mask off the gaps else your polish will get trapped in them.

Hmm can't find any information related to nano wash 2.0 from Google or official website. Is this a normal car shampoo without wax? How's the dilution ratio?

Me love batman too, and yes, black is a full time job. You can't be part time dark knight else your armour would look greyish.

Did you use the 2 buckets grit guard method? it reduces swirls induced by washing.

You can apply every other week. When I have free time, i wax it every other week, just to tell myself that i should finish up one bottle before getting a new product to try. So I have been removing and re-wax different brands every now and then.

Suggest paying attention to your washing and drying technique.. use only soft microfiber cloths and throw them away after a few uses. The system i use is to grade them accordingly (learned it fr youtube).. virgin cloths for exterior, then degraded for interior use, then engine use, then inside wheel arches and throw right after.

There's this guy on youtube which i find pretty informative.. though a bit long winded
search "auto fetish detail"... loads of tips there

do I need to apply polish after ScratchX (remove swirls, no scratches)? I got some ultimate polish with me. hmm
