You should go to tesco to buy some microfiber clothes at only rm 10+ with 3 clothes. Also use car shampoo, because water won't do much cleaning off dirty and grime if your car is dirty or hasn't wash for weeks. Water only used when your car is very pristinely clean.

Step 1. Prepare two bucket one for the car shampoo and another with only water for rinsing your washing cloth

Step 2. Wash the hood then bonnet and boot. After that only wash the door panel and lastly the bumpers. Remember to frequently rinse your washing cloth. To clear off dusty and dirt.

Step 3 rinse your car thoroughly with the hose. And use a microfiber towel ( wet the cloths first ) to dry your car with the same procedure hood, bonnet, boot those....

Step 4 if your car is dirty. Go aeon or any automobile store to get a clay bar for car. And clay every surface of your car. Also remember to use the car soap for lubricatio while clay bar the car.

Finally, your car is super clean so you can apply a layer of wax or sealant. Apply by section and wait the wax or sealant to dry and buff it off.

After the you should maintain your car by washing it at least once per week and remember to top up the wax on your car around once per month it depends on where you park your car

Well of course you don't really need to dry your car until it's like very dry. Wrong washing method can induced swirls mean micro scratches on your car. Same as goes to drying your car.

Make sure you don't wipe the car rigorously just to dry the surface, this will scratch the paint even though you are using microfiber towel. After washing the car, fold the microfiber in half and start wiping the car surface in straight line. If you left little water streak it okay. Eventually the water will dry itself.

For tyre, also go tesco there a cheap brush with soft bristle. Use car soap again if you want to save money. If not go get a chemical for tyre. Use the brush to brush the rim first the side wall of the tyre then you are done.

When washing the car, remember to wash the tyre first then only you move on to washing the car. After everything is dry. Use wax on your car and tyre you can get the tyre shine on. Most tyre shine come with a sponge in the package. Squeeze around two drops of tyre shine on the sponge and apply it on the tyre.

Always remember, the key of getting good wax and tyre shine protection to last long is to get the car paint and the tyre to be clean enough to let the wax or the tyre to stick onto the surface.
