Car wash shampoo waxes offer very little protection. Just wax your car like you normally would and don't worry about losing that tiny speck of Meguiars wax.

Wash and wax is actually a marketing gimmick.

It's car shampoo with shine properties. muhahahaha...

save money and get Osren's new Nano Wash Shampoo. They are located at Kepong

Bro, does Nano wash provides better cleaning ability? I'm using their bubble & wax shampoo at the moment.

Just to follow up on my post #549 about some durability for car waxes/sealants- the method of testing from the detailingworld.co.uk using the horsebox/camper is greatly flawed because the rain will wash more contaminants towards the products applied below the others. So the results will be favour the products on the topmost panels which is where autogylm products were applied and there will be odd results like AIO and weaker products outperforming very durable sealants like the Collinite 476.

A local detailer ran into the same problem when his test panel got shifted and placed sideways so that the M16 patch was upmost and the products closer to the bottom got the most contaminants.

I forgot to add that my experience with Fireball coat is that it works well and the product lasted until last week where the water sheeting on the hood was completely flat indicating no protective sealant/wax layer, and I think I last applied it sometime in Sept.

Glad to hear the outstanding durability from Fireball Easy Coat. May I know is your car an outdoor car or indoor car?

I used Ultimate Coat which is different from Easy Coat. Ultimate Coat is a version of Reload/Gyeon cure, and the car is parked outdoors.
The protection was already mostly gone at the end of last month but still showing some sheeting, now the water sheeting is flat on most parts of the hood.

Yupp... good for foam lance use too

Wow that is impressive. Gyeon cure I think can't last that long. I use gyeon cure to topup my current coating.

so yesterday my father wash my car using the manual lazy wash & wax method...
1. wash with car shampoo.
2. rinse.
3. pour soft99 wax into bucket of water, wipe as car wash.
4. rinse.

I got when he told me this, keeps arguing as he believes this water wax method works...

2 months durability for an outdoor car is considered impressive! So,the "Ultimate Coat" is Ultimate Coating Wax, as stated in the website?

Whichever suits you and your dad. But I'm sure it doesn't work that way...wax(mostly silicone + beeswax + carnuaba wax or other form of wax) doesn't not emulsify with water.

Wax is losely used these days. Some sealants are referred to as "wax" too. Cause market are used to and relates to the wrd wax better.

This weekend wash yourself La, clay it before you wax.
Dont argue with dad

this is the problem of majority ego older gen who prefer to rely on their gut feelings to guide them what works
mine has that problem too. So i just prefer to do it myself

unless a prod is designed to be carried by water, else it wouldn't work that way.

Not quite 2 months since it could be near the end of Sept (I lost my note when my disk failed so I can't find out the exact date) and its for the protection to completely be gone so that the water sheeting is completely flat(after a wash) which occurs . Re-applying every month would work well in my experience since the protection is still good and everything still smooth at that time. Right now, it needs a full clay/polish to remove dirt which has settled i n.

Yes

Hi do you use fireball ultimate watersport remover before? Gyeon waterspot remover is much expensive.. Thinking to try this due to a lot of water spot build up on the car especially on the rear part of the car - rear windows, bonnet..

I think you should go ahead and give it a try for fireball waterspot remover (I do not own it though). Gyeon products are really overpriced and not everyone like us can really afford

Previously I used the KIT liquid MAX WAX to clean the stain and it worked. But every time I wash the car I have to use it.

I think so.

Gonna buy Meguiars GC wax, any recommendation place to buy?
Saw lazada selling RM135 now, what's the market price?

OK. any idea where to get beside the website below?
