QUOTE(gfwong @ Aug 19 2016, 08:07 AM) Waterless wash. See here and here. I always keep one in the trunk. The good think about this is that no rinsing is required and there is a bit of protection until the next car wash. Great blog dude.Spray liberally onto bird's droppings, let it soak for a while. Dab with microfiber towel. Don't wipe but try to pick up the bird's droppings "vertically" as the droppings might contain small stones that will scratch your paint if you use wiping action. Thanks. |

QUOTE(gfwong @ Aug 19 2016, 02:30 PM) Thanks. Really appreciate if you could recommend me a paste wax and a waterless wash which are available locally.Agreed that EGP is old but IMHO, I do not think it is fair to call it outclassed. I have EGP on one of my cars since April this year and it is still going strong as I use spray wax after every wash. Having both FK1000P and EGP, I am inclinde to say that both of them has the same durability I think it is up to personal preference then. EGP is a liquid and slightly easier to apply compared to paste type like FK1000P. And yes, I normally leave them at least an hour before buffing off. Regarding the "overrated EGP" I believe you are referring to my earlier post on a UK car detailer's sealant and wax test. And the test vehicle is not a bus but a horse box. That was done 8 years ago. I have not seen others doing such comprehensive test since then. Sealant test Wax test Now, there is this guy, interesting The best wax sealant (jump to 9.18 as his video is long) The best wax sealant part 2 I really have no idea which one to choose. Willing to spend big bucks if the product is proven good. |

QUOTE(slk @ Dec 21 2016, 04:04 PM) try to change to a new side of the towel after a few panels. Normally i soak overnight with liquid Dynamo.... brush.... rinse with water then final rinse with weak solution of water+vinegar to remove the soap residue/ making it plusher. If you are willing to spend more... can get something like this QUOTE(blurcase @ Dec 21 2016, 05:34 PM) Agree with slk on the use of towel and washing method. Thanks for the tips. I guess I really put too much wax.(the more the better mentality.)To add to that, if you are getting alot of wax residue to buff out, that means u could be applying your wax too thick. Try apply thinner coat instead. Also, it would be good to have more than 1 buffing towel so that the same towel doesnt get overloaded with wax residue. Buffing off the wax is really a pain in the ass. It takes me almost 2 hours to wax and buff off the wax, and the whole car is covered with wax dust. |

My car is only 5 months old and I already can feel roughness on the paint.
Never thought I need to clay my car so soon. |

I stay right next to KLCC so is Car International any good? Read quite a fair bit of bad reviews on them though. |
