Guys,
This is my first car in Black. All other cars were white. I find that taking car the black is way way harder than the white. The white color I just have to wash on weekly basis and it is good. But the black color is dust magnet or very visible. Look at the photo. I have to wash the car every alternate day to keep the dust away. Any way or any product should I use to avoid this kind of dust? This dust is so stubborn. If just water it wonβt away. I need to use tower. Aiyaa. Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE(junclj @ Aug 29 2020, 10:46 AM) Just to imagine how heavy the building/land constructions of your car parking area. Impossible to get that much dust every day. I tried waterjet today but it didnot go away. Need to use towel to remove it away. Aiya. Tired like this. π€¦π»ββοΈHave you shoot the dust with high pressure washer? Should be quite easy to shoot them away. |

One more thing, I notice that my car has hairlines scratches everywhere. I tried my best to avoid the sand by using different towel between upper body and lower body of the car.
Is it because cheap microfibre towel could be the reason? Or sand is in the cloth? |

By the way, I saw some utube video using checmical guy wash. They just use it with foam cannon and spray all over the car. After that, just use water jet to rinse the snow. Thats it. No need to use towel to rub the surface.
Is that easy? I found it super easy and can avoid hairline scratches. |

Guys,
I am thinking like this for my car. Is it overdone/lack of something: 1. Wash 2. Monthly wax with Meguiars Liquid Wax (https://www.meguiars.com/automotive/products/meguiars-ultimate-liquid-wax-g18216-16-oz-liquid-applicator-towel) 3. Weekly wax maintenance with Meguiars Ceramic Wax Spray (https://www.meguiars.com/automotive/products/meguiars-hybrid-ceramic-wax-easy-use-ceramic-wax-protection-g190526-26-oz ) Enough? Or overdone? Should use Sealant or protectant after those waxes? |

QUOTE(newhouseowner @ Sep 3 2020, 12:53 PM) Ok, this one i can answered you. If you just to protect your car without any paint correction, then this is well enough. This is the exactly method that i used to make the car like show car condition when i'm not doing any paint correction. Thanks bro for the info. At least I know Im on right track. I dont need for paint correction for now as the car is just out of showroom 2 weeks back. Everything just fine. I just need smooth and slippery surface to avoid trapping dust. Dust is really bad. last time don't have meguiar hyrid ceramic wax, my step are as follows: 1. wash with shampoo 2. monthly meguiar ultimate liquid wax or paste wax 3. meguiar synthetic x-press wax every 2 weeks for wax maintenance. i have 2 cars, every week i washed, that's why 2 week per car. this can applied on wet surface right after you washed car. if you applied on dry, you can feel the smoothness of the product. it is versatile products. now got meguiar hybrid ceramic wax, for point 3, sometimes i used MHCW or x-press wax, either one will do. spray wax can use for interior paintwork such as door and body. smooth smooth Since the meguiar ultimate liquid wax or paste wax are expensive, so need to put something on top of it to prolong it. So MHCW comes into play, so much cheaper and ease of use. The ease of use is almost like spray wax. If you go for paint correction yourself, then add below sequences: 1. wash with shampoo 2. ultimate compound, i don't used clay. compound alone can clean above and below contamination to bring out your paintwork to full potential. 3. ultimate polish. this step is to refine the paintwork after compounding, it does add gloss 4. meg liquid wax, this step provides wet look, water beading and sheeting, gloss and durability as well. it provide level of depth when you see in real enviroment. 5. meg HCW or spray wax for weekly maintenance. HCW - this step add another durability, water beading and sheeting, and self cleaning only. Step 2 & 3, i only do once or twice a year only when got 3 days holiday in a row. no need much. It is advisable to use DA machine. your car will be show car condition 365 days, Happy detailing! BTW, I never really care about the car detailing before. My previous car I sent to Cars International but seems I moved to new office 2 years back, Cars International is not convenience for me anymore. Sending to those detailing shop may need sometime as well. It is better to self care the car on weekend/public holiday. At least something to do. |
