Yea seen this shop before but never really took the plunge.

Seems like a reseller for items in bulk too - might be useful for a group buy or for car wash businesses judging from the product volume... I can still remember that 20L can in your car bro... brows.gif

I just saw this shop and their clay cloth's price caught my eye haha. Yeah, I am seeing more and more bulk sellers around. Well, I suppose more choices is always a good thing for us.

Yup, probably from China OEM. I am guessing seller put the name like this to game the search algorithm or something.

Hmm, I think what I meant to say was - it was way more slippery than my usual washes with the Nano/Bubble Washes. So I was trying to figure out why this was happening. brows.gif Either too much product poured or the effect of the sealant on the car [if it's a valid reason anyways!].

Haha.
*
I think it's slippery is because you poured more. I experienced this before also, you can sorta feel it with your hands.

btw when is your Bubble and Wax gonna fin? biggrin.gif

You tried before Osren leather cream?

I dont have Bubble and Wax, right now using Nano wash. I can give some for you to test. Hehe.

Leather products I unfortunately have not tried any before. I am thinking of getting some in the future but not sure which. There are several I am looking at, but maybe more towards Leather soft haha.
-Osren Leather soft (1L)
-Osren Leather cream (180g)
-Meguiar D180 Leather cleaner & conditioner (1gallon)

You used the bubble wax before? any difference with the nano wash>?

Come2 , i share 500ml with you

I never used Bubble & Wax before. So maybe bro Woodentiger & Celciuz is more suited to answer that question of the differences between Bubble & Wax and Nano Wash since they used both before.

Means you give me some Bubble & Wax to try or I give you some Nano wash to try? biggrin.gif

Hi, just gotten my new crv in white. Those white is like a bit diff with my last accord. I don do any coAting. But I willing to do some car wash every weekend.

Can you advice me what shall I use for car wash? And maintenance of it? It would be good if u may advice on brand and freq of the work. Thanks
*
Some additional pointers of 'deep clean' and 'paint cleaning' to add on top of bro slk's advice in case you wanna go for it smile.gif

QUOTE(V429 @ Jul 30 2020, 12:14 PM)
I would suggest the below wash regime :

Basic maintenance wash : Once every week or once every 2 weeks
-Wash with 2 bucket method. (Go youtube it)
-Apply SiO2 spray to protect.

Deep clean : Once every 2 weeks or Once a month
-Wash your tyre and wheel wells.
-Wash with 2 bucket method.
-Clean all crevice and tight spot with detailing brush + APC
(this one for sure i recommend if not very easily your car will see lots of black dirt drip marks from door handle, side mirror etc. Especially on white cars)
-Apply SiO2 spray to protect.
-BONUS : Apply Tyre dressing on your tyres.  cool2.gif

-Paint cleaning : Once a month or Once in 2 months
-In addition to above, apply cleaner Wax or AIO polish on your car by hand. This will solve the issue of the white of your car slowly become slightly yellow-ish.

However there are many ways to detail and maintain a car. Other sifus here may have different method & approach. Feel free to experiment to see what suits you best.

The beading in your picture looks good. What do you mean like coating feeling is gone? Like no more beading?

As in right after coating, i can feel the smooth and a layer of coating when i touched. But after rained, i wipe dry the car and I cant feel the 'smooth layer' touch feel of the coating d.  biggrin.gif Can und? haha

QUOTE(woodentiger86 @ Sep 1 2020, 01:01 PM)
Normal bro.

After rain + car left to dry or leaving car exposed to elements [dust etc] can see a layer of dust visible on the paint. Try not to run your fingers on it cos may lift the dirt and end up dragging it inadvertently.

Actually the coating should still be working fine and you can test it with running water/spray/rain.

One thing you can gauge is probably how tight the beads are, and if you notice water sheeting slower than usual when you splash water, then likely your coat needs to be refreshed, aka top up with another layer or spray.

My car almost every weekend after wash I will try to apply any form of product just to prolong the effect, either via Sio2, QD, liquid wax etc. laugh.gif
*
Yup. Agree with bro woodentiger. Probably there's a layer of dust on it so it doesnt feel smooth to the touch. but as long as it's still beading and sheeting water, the protection is still there.

guys,

i just bought a foam cannon for my pressure washer so need some heads up on what type of car shampoo should i use for it?
*
Hey man, congrats again on your new Mazda 3 smile.gif

Technically, any car shampoo should be fine, but some foam better than others. I'd advise Osren's Nano wash, tho perhaps other sifus here can advise you better on this biggrin.gif

arigatouuuu biggrin.gif

oh! you mean those normal reputable branded PH neutral wash and wax can be used together with the foam cannon as well?
*
Yup. That is my view. But the wax part of the shampoo is almost negligible. I personally prefer to use just pure car shampoo. Meguiars NXT shampoo also not bad.

If you can, give your car a light polish before applying. This significantly improves performance and durability in my experience smile.gif lasted close to 2 months in one case.

Understandable biggrin.gif

Still can use without polishing. Just seems like beading not as nice. Tho you need a polish to polish. You can't polish with a wax.
