Thanks hope Eneos got sell.

Hi all, any shop in ipoh selling wide range of detailing products?

Hi,
Has anyone used Triplewax Waterless Wash and Shine before? How does it fair against more premium brand's waterless solution (i.e. Meguiars), while taking the price into account.
OR
Should I just stick to the traditional wash, wax and coat process and not use any of the waterless solution?

any idea if ceramic or glass coating is better? been informed that ceramic need to service every 4 months while glass coating do not. Which is better to prevent scratches and keep the car shiny?

Thanks for your advise.

Mine one and wax i have with me now is...the blue bottle soft99, its written instruction stated Not For Metalic and Pearl paint, I thought all the other brand has metalic and non-metalic wax

Most likely i will send the car to car wash centre to do the proper compound/waxing/polisinh. Btw, any recommended good and resonable priced car wash centre near PJ area?

I am thinking of using the "spray wax" after each car wash...as recommended in gfwong's blog.

Thanks for advise, I like your blog  :thumbsup:
Thanks for the info, I will only use the Soff99 to clean some road tar... not for waxing the whole car. Will apply spy wax after car wash and hope this help to keep the car paint in good condition.

I checked with car wash centre near my place, it costs RM270 to wash>clay>polish>wash again>wax and it takes 4 hours to do the job...not sure it is worth trying?

You are right! It took me almost 9 hours to complete the tasks by hands ... wash>clay>wash>sealant (using GP clay & polymer sealant), the claying part took about 6 hours - my white car was super dirty, i am quite please the end result, but some scratches and marks were not removed, i did not do the compounding and scratches fixing.

Since my car worth only RM20+k, I decided to DIY myself and save some money, the GP clay, sealant, a few pcs of MF & wax cloth...cost me less than RM70.

I will follow gfwong's advise apply spray wax (Turtle express shine) after each car wash, hope this keep up the car well

Update on Synthetic Waxes Durability Test Update: Week 2

This is a quick update on the initial post.

Note: Just for sharing and results are subjective based on personal observations.

I doubt the "wax" in the Meg Ultimate Wash & Wax is significant enough to do anything. I did a test on the wash before. See here. Even if it does, should it not "enhance" Meg Ultimate Paste Wax? Since they are both from the same range.
Not a straight forward answer but let me share what I think. Please bear with me.

If water beads up it shows that the surface is hydrophobic and because of the surface tension of water, it will not "wet" the surface and beads up. The general idea of a hydrophobic surface is that dirty liquid will not "wet" and smear all over the surface. But if those water droplets are left to stay till to dry (and with some dirt encapsulated in them), there could potentially be water mark. So I read.

IMHO sealants protects the paint by being a sacrificial barrier. It prevents dirt from sticking directly onto the paint. Be it hydrophobic or slick. So a slick surface that sheets away water and dirt is as good as a surface that beads water. It is just that a surface that beads water gives a Wow effect. And this is where the marketing gimmick works, I guess 

I wanted to know too, why you say fake? From the outside, it looks perfectly genuine to me except the golden sticker. I don't know what it is. If you open the cap, you can see the seal with printed meguiar brand on it. If don't have, probably is fake.
