another question for sifus here, can i wash my microfiber towels with dish washer?

Im looking for 3” DA polisher to complement my 5” Osren Hurricane. Any recommendation on what’s good and available in Malaysia?

Can’t find many options on Lazada. Thank you bros.

I own civic 2nd batch too there are minor orange peel on few area of cars (although on most people eyes it just normal paint surface) and one spot with rough unpolished sandpaper feel surface which later I compound and polish myself first day drive back to home.

Guys my old kancil paint is in very bad condition, colours coming off from plastic parts like bumpers and side trims, cracks all over metal body.

I am more interested in doing DIY vynil then a repainting,
Any advice how do I start?

Should I strip all the paint first? Then cemen uneven part , polish and apply vinyl?

Recently, I got a China OEM type foam sprayer for a fraction of IK foam's price, just to test it out see how it is. Finally got to test it out yesterday.

Tried it out with NXT shampoo, mixed roughly 300 ml to 1500 ml water (total capacity 1800ml). The results are below my expectation. The foam is watery and did not last long. Below picture of foam is after I let it dwell for about 1 or 2 minutes.

Might have to bite the bullet and just get IK foam 1.5

you need this...

they wash their cars in super long intervals unlike us... normal mild shampoo is good for us already

For my frequently used cleaners, I'm change them to pump sprayers. less fatigue, easy to the hand

get a wide mouth sprayer like Hozelock as it will be easy to clean them once in a while. RM70ish from USJ 8 hardware store (same row as 7-11)

been using it for year for APC and degreaser... no problem 

you control the amount of product with the trigger... actually its more uniform/even

Over the weekend when I looked at all car care materials I have accumulated the past 6 months, it occurred to me that I may not have been thinking straight. How did I evolve from a simple one bucket with a cloth and some shampoo to the ludicrous amount of stuff I have now that I'd need to buy a new cabinet to store all of them. Lol.

and grow.....

guys, i'm using hand to apply wax (liquid wax), any other better/faster solution with reasonable price? thank you.

the hybrid ceramic wax will be my last purchase of the year

Guys, which meguiar product good for interior cleaning? Dashboard, lcd screen etc , thanks

Hi Guys, i just applied coating with Gtechniq Glenmarie but I have a dilemma. I'm not washing the car weekly as before due to work commitment and the place I'm staying does not have the facilities to wash my car. So I was thinking of using waterless wash to wash my car but I heard that its not recommended on ceramic coating cars, is this true?.

The other dilemma is should I use sealant or wax as protection?. What about quick detailing spray?.

Hope to hear your opinions guys. I'm kinda stuck..🤔

Kinda hard to get Gtechniq stuff unless buy at the place where i did my coating. Was considering CarPro to do my maintenance wash. They also have waterless wash but their bottle doesn't come with a spray head.

So I can use waterless wash to wash my car. Just need to standby lots of microfiber towels to wash right?.

After the wash use CarPro Reload as sealant?.

Came across this video on how to DIY a foam sprayer.

Looks do-able.. may try it out of these days.

Just recently, my car’s front windscreen developed a glare when oncoming cars’ lights and even traffic lights and bright street lamps shine on it?

What can I do or use to get rid of this problem? Glass cleaner or can a detailing shop help? TQ.

I've changed to 20L Osren's Multi Cleaner & Degreaser FX... will last me for 5/6  years

Just some interesting things I found about "ceramic" spray.

I bought both the quartz max and water glass from tac system. I was very curious what was the difference since both claim almost similar result, ie the gloss and water repellant capability. Looking at the consistency of quartz max ,confirm that it at least contains silica(product description even mention contains 5% sio2). But water glass doesn't have the consistency of any silica, even their product description does not mention water glass for having sio2, further digging shows that is contains polymer and glass fiber. The application for water glass is similar to Meguiars hybrid ceramic wax, where you mist on the paint and just pressure wash it.

There was some controversy about Meguiars hybrid ceramic wax , where the msds show it only contains water. But now I believe it contains the same ingredient which is the glass fiber, where since it is not considered a hazard, they don't have to display it within the ingredient.

Tac system water glass can be diluted up to 1:10, using a cloth to wipe it on the paint will cause the microfiber to harden, have to sacrifice a cloth if applying it with a microfiber cloth.

thank you for sharing 

by the way, any good microfiber to introduce? (for drying wet car after wash), what do you think about meguiars water magnet microfiber? thanks again.

Fireball drying towel? where to buy? thanks again.

It's been raining in the evenings almost every day and I have been religiously wiping the car dry (which can be challenging if you don't want to wash the car and at the same time, not risk marring the coating).

Still, I am seeing water spots here and there despite my efforts. It's getting quite frustrating and tiresome. 

I stand by my opinion that ceramic coatings are not ideal for our equatorial climate unless your car is always sheltered or unless you are prepared to baby the car much more than you would with wax / sealants. It makes perfect sense now why auto makers would not just put ceramic coating on cars by default from the factory. For those of you contemplating a ceramic coating, think twice before you commit.

Hi gais, got a question to ask.

My car now 7 years old. The paint I think still in reasonable good condition. Not planning to repaint at this moment. Might thinking to do repaint the whole car in another 3 years time. For the time being, which option is better?

Option 1 : coating with 3 years warranty. Estimated cost Rm500

Option 2 : Send for polish every 6 months. Estimated cost RM200 x 6 = RM1,200

My thought is option 1 is more economical. Only cons the coating might not bring back the showroom shining.
