Logically should be sealant which has better durability first then shiny thing last. A chain is as strong as it weakest link

nice work
i have been waiting for your update
*look at my UPW* 

glass 1 : sealant 0 

btw...how u handle ur interior detail like dashboard, leather seat..? alway talk bout exterior only...haha...

I watched his video also. I kinda think the message is subject to individual interpretation. He mentioned his car has not been clayed in years, but for us who use our cars as daily drivers and with our tropical climate conditions, it can be quite different.

Personally I have had situations where I may not clay my car but go straight to paste wax. This is quite possible if I apply my paste wax more regularly (like once every 2-3 months). I believe wax helps the car in the sense that less contaminants have the chance to stick onto the paint and unable to remove via wash and requiring to clay to remove.

For situations where the car is very well taken care off (means regular wash and protection maintenance and also minimal driving in rain and parked indoors), it is possible to quickly clay the car around 10 minutes or so. But again, given many of us are probably regular working folks that require our car to go out and park where required and convenient, the reality is more likely that our cars will pickup more contaminants which longer claying time to remove everything.

After detailing my own and family cars for over 15 years, I now "close 1 eye" abit more when it comes to regular detailing. My own car only gets clayed 1-2 times a year, other cars may get at most 1 time a year. Dont do the plastic bag test and close 1 eye, can pass lor. But when the semangat strikes, then extreme mode comes in and claying alone takes 2-3 hours, compound/polishing takes 2-4 days, hehehe...

Claying with a clay bar under 15 mins...
What you guys do it? With clay cloth it is faster...but knowing larry, he prefers clay bar.

Hmm, I have never used it for killing bacteria or pests or odor, but apart from using it on cars, I use pure IPA for cleaning alot of light glue stains and stickers, cleaning thermal paste from CPU, cleaning ink marks, sometimes cleaning screens on phones and tablets before applying screen protector, etc.

I have a lot of watermark on my windscreen as the car is parked outdoor. How can I remove them? Any recommended product or method?

Check out this item I found on Lazada! Soft99 / Soft 99 Glass Stain Cleaner - Glass Refresh Oil Film /
Water Spots Remover - 80ml
http://www.lazada.com.my/soft99-soft-99-gl...l-26171599.html

This is a good product i used before, it better to apply ultra glaco soft99 after polish the windscreen

How to use to item? Just check out youtube there is a tutorial for their soft99 product

Hey guys, I have a question on washing microfiber cloth used to wipe off polish residue, wax and etc. What kind of detergent is suitable for washing?

I was at a point of almost pulling my hair out because no one seem to sell microfiber specific detergent for it and I couldn't find any "clear, perfume and softener free" detergent at hypermarket. I have a pile of mf cloth but idk what to do because I'm running out of them soon.

Any suggestion for locally available stuff that is suitable will be much welcomed. Thanks.

Check out gfwong's blog and wax review, might help:

http://carporchdetailer.blogspot.my/2017/0...est-update.html

Right it could be without claying the last I used ulw. The current was clay and quik wax and lasts 1-2 weeks. Will be doing clay + fusso or clay + ulw next weekend.

tks bro gfwong your blog is awesome 

No worries bro, ur info is good for sharing.

Agree with u on this, in fact for all liquid car detailing chemicals also should shake before use. I kena before with my wheel cleaner, using like normal then visit the shop I bought from and see why their liquid is darker color, went back and realise if I shake my bottle then color also come out same.

But 1min after application, it quickly turned hard already. So was my application too thick? How do you ensure thin application? I am using the Meguair's microfiber towel which I have used for few rounds of previous wax buffing. And very thin layer does last long as compared to thicker layer? Sorry asking noob questions.

Hi all,

What is the best way to remove water marks from the car windows ? I have tried a few things for now like the window cleaners but no changes have been seen.

Do advise

Thanks for the review...I havent tried fusso...but was thinking might give it a try after seeing you first 2 reviews...but if its just 3 months under our weather condition, hence its pretty much whats I'm doing now..every 3-4 months, I clean it up , move hard stain and tar, polish and then wax, and maintain using quick wax every month once.

Thanks again...cheers

Anyone has any recommendation for an acid based wheel cleaner? My wheels are already scratched up and I am planning to replace it probably next year.

If u answered all the questions as yes, then u are in the correct forum, welcome to the club!

Hmm, I would have to clarify first what coating is. Coating is generally a semi-permanent liquid that is applied onto your car and hardens into a thin layer of durable protection. It is also very hydrophobic in nature. Durability averages 2-5 years depending on how u care for your car.

To say that your car does not require polish after coating is not entirely true. While there is high chances are your car paint will remain in good condition, however your coating will not. Your paint may not scratch, but your coating will. Your paint will not have water spots, but your coating will.

The car wash recommendation regime doesnt change, which is weekly wash. Even though the dirt, grime and other stuff may not reach your paint, but if u let it sit and bake by the sun on your coating for too long (say 1 month or more), it will still eat your coating eventually. Even more so many ppl who have done coating complain of a very visible problem, which is water spots (especially dark cars). The other common issue that even coating has limitations to is bird poop. Bird poop can still eat through coating and reach the paint and deeper.

However, despite all the disadvantages I highlighted, u may ask why then so many detailing shops crazily advertise coating. The first advantage is that it will be easier to wash your car because the dirt and grime washes off much easier than compared to naked paint. To maintain the coating even longer, some use spray sealant/wax to topup as the sacrificial layer instead of the coating. So any contaminants sticks to the sealant/wax instead and gets washed off and coating stays clean and strong.

Why coating is generally charged expensive? Firstly, price of coating itself is expensive. 1 coating set costs on average RM300-700 depending on brand. Secondly, the preparation step is much more in depth. Good detailing shops generally will do very heavy compounding and polishing to ensure that 90%-99% of defects have been removed before applying coating. This is because if coating is applied with defect still exist and customer complains, then they have to compound just to remove the coating layer and re-work it again (waste of product). Thirdly, some items used for coating purposes are thrown away after use, such as applicator pads and 2-3 microfiber cloths, because residue product will harden on them and render them unsafe for future use.

Hope this answers some of your questions regarding coating. The decision whether to coat or not is entirely up to u. To everyone else, sorry for the long post. 

i see sponge i scared, have you heard of the squeaking sound that sponge makes when it is glided across surfaces? scary lol... but i've been seeing people washing with sponges as well with no issue.

you should do one on shampoo and without shampoo on waxed surface so the argument can be concluded.
can't deny facts over opinions.
