I just got my new car last week.. For now i'll do detailing by myself as no budget to do coating and I have just completed wax by hand using meguiar upw.. My concern now is.. How do i prevent cats from laying on my car? Looks like my car has been a regular spot for my neighbours cats to hang out.. Sometimes there are 2cats at a time laying there.. Worried there might be some scratches produced. sad.gif

my personal exp, cats claw normally wont create a very deep scratch.

Live with it and remove the scratch when it is time using whateva product in the market

At the same time, try scare the cat with penyapu lidi. Cat super scare with penyapu lidi. Dont whip them, they r helpless animal. Just whip the wall, the floor n make them run

After a while they will stop coming to your house

P/s: or you can opt for car cover. Everytime put in and take off the cover sheet. Lol

Im getting my new car very soon. White Color smile.gif

So my question :

i) Do i need to polish n wax it right away?

ii) What wax brand is suitable for first protection. I have no plan to buy any expensive tools at this moment. Merely wash soap, mitt n few microfibre cloth / towel

iii) Meguiars Gold Class.. Worth the price or overrated


or is it better for me to send to car detailing centre for the first time for proper polish n wax. Then maintain it from there ?

appreciate all sifus advises here.

Must i clear old layer of wax before i apply new one?

Read online suggested period for 1 wax is every 2 months

So after 2 months, i must clear old wax (not sure how to get this done) before i apply new wax?

i have ordered MJCC foam lance from alibaba and now pending arrival

my question.. what is the best snow foam product to be used? It must be easily available in the our market (Lazada included).

Currently im using Meg Wash and Wax for my regular wash..

But considering its price and foam high consumption foam cleaning ability, im thinking to use any other suitable snow foam

I know Autobrite Direct Magifoam has a superb review, but i cant get it easily. Have to order from ebay/amazon and all.

And prefer it to be color foam as my car is white biggrin.gif

Just got myself a MJJC foam lance.

Quick question.. rinse before you foam or straight foam without rinse

My findings over the internet have so many different answers and thoughts

best is

1. foam
2. rinse with PW
3. foam
4. wash with 2BM
5. rinse with PW
6. flood rinse with open hose ( check below photo)
7. wipe/tap dry + drying aid

flood rinse :

After 2nd time foam, do you still require 2 bucket method?

2 bucket method is 1 rinse, and 1 soap.. so by having it foam (again), shouldnt that be enough to put away the soap bucket? I.e only 1 bucket to rinse the mitt

I never hose rinse before this.. i will try.

Hi Sifu, I plan to buy a pressure washer to wash my car and maybe cleaning some floor purpose.

Any brand/model forsuggestion? Thanks

karcher K1 - 100bar
cheapest i saw was in Tesco Shah Alam, Rm198
good enough for your car washing, but for floor cleaning im not too sure


but personally, im using Bosch AQT 33-11
Plus i bought MJJC Foam Lance
That is for pre-wash foaming
Also use it to wash floor, carpet, bbq pit etc etc
