Nice review. I have been using Osren Bubble Wash for almost 2 years (4 liters). It produces a great amount of suds and when wash on paint, I can feel it's lubricated enough. Good cleaning power. Despite it might not be the best car shampoo in the market, but I think it's great bang for buck.

My washing method - two bucket system. Microfiber Wash mitt . 2oz for 2.5 gallon water.

Mine left less than half after usage of 6 months. biggrin.gif

Wow than you are really washing your car frequently. Haha. I wash my car roughly every 2 week.

So any comment on Osren Bubble Wash? Do share it out too smile.gif
*
Ya. 3 cars for me to wash. biggrin.gif
I tend to use more as i worry on the lubricity, sometime i do feel the lubricity became poorer during the end of the cleaning process, i guess it might be due to some water is transferred into the mixture after i rinse the wash mitt in 2nd bucket.
But anyway, since the cost is below RM50 for one gallon, never mind lar.. biggrin.gif

I have never used this before. After searching the internet, this is some kind of an aerosol type sealant. Since it is not a coating, I don't think stripping the paint is absolutely necessary. You might want to see the comment section of this link: http://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-Pro/pro...mer-net-shield/

And since we are talking about stripping and IPA, I found 2 useful articles from Mike Phillips. I am sorry if this had been shared before.

To strip or not to strip: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/hot-to...nt-bonding.html

So to use IPA or not to use IPA? biggrin.gif
Too many opinions here and there, wonder which way to follow better.

I am not sure if these links have been posted here before. These two massive wax and sealant comparison by a UK detailer have been my standard references. They are old threads but I have not seen any other person doing comparison in such a massive scale.

Biggest sealant test ever
Biggest wax test ever

Water droplets on my daily drive after a heavy downpour. The pictures are taken 2 weeks ago which is 3 months after Autoglym SRP+EGP.

[attachmentid=7233708]
[attachmentid=7233717]

Maybe I cheated a little bit because I use spray wax after every wash but if I recalled correctly, the pictures are taken more than a week since I last wash my DD as it was raining almost everyday back then. See my own comparison of spray wax here.

I have ordered Autoglym Express Wax (5 liters) which is a commercial-packed version of Autoglym Aquawax and waiting for it to arrive. Will post another review then.

Wah... you are a wax collector huh? biggrin.gif

I just finished one bottle of UQW.. i used it as drying aid the last portion and only realized how easy it is to apply spray wax as drying aid. kill 2 birds with 1 stone
I have read ppl also use OCW on everything too as it does not stain.

I like OCW on its slickness. smile.gif
Still beading 2 weeks after application.

Did you use OCW for interiors? Smells ok?
How is its ease of application? I read that it seems to require more buffing than D156. Does the 2 weeks include multiple rain showers? For the D156 i would say it feels less sleek (compared to initial application.. but still relatively sleek) after the 3rd heavy shower. But then i also apply the ultimate paste wax monthly so i don't really know the true durability of D156.

One negative thing thou for the D156 is that on front windscreen, there will be a little residual smear at the end of the windscreen blade reach upon first wiper use. Once u clear that up then no issues. Much easier to apply compared to rainx thou.
*
I didn't use OCW for interior, afraid of the milky smell. biggrin.gif
Application wise I think it is more or less the same across all spray wax? Not sure how does it compare with D156, but it feel the same compared with 3M quick wax, spray and buff off.
Not really raining in my area for the past 2 weeks, but i did wash it once per week without topping up spray wax.
Spray wax can be used on windscreen as well?? I used Glaco on my windscreen.

i bought it together with other things so the shipping is around 200
buy that alone, around rm100 for shipping
took me a week+ only, ordered on 14th, received on 23th

Thought of buying from Amazon as well. Do they pack liquid stuff (such as liquid wax,polish) properly to avoid getting compressed?

they packed mine with box with around 20% empty space stuffed it with air bubble material around my products.. my UWW could move around freely inside when i shook the box, but its movement is cushioned by those materials and the container came out without any dent. So, i guess you dont have to worry about that.

I don't really like turtle super hard shell paste wax.  The kit wax which the user above you are using works better than turtle hard shell. Too much effort (hard to buff off) with very little durability on water beading.

I used turtle super hard shell liquid wax, same as per you claimed, no beading at all.
Osren's paste wax works better for me.

hehe I dunno but I DIY, I have this mentality of going the safest route.
I have bought the Megs DA Power Tool and have been practicing on the technique of sponge contact / pressure / angle of attack etc..
So still learning kerb but I believe I'm ready for a step up to a proper DA so can't give you any sound advice smile.gif

Better wait Windskill or Douglas_Tong whom are the thread expert to advice bah  biggrin.gif

Hi, may I know how is the Megs DA Power Tool performance? Thought to get one but what holding me back is worrying lack of torque. I have a Bosch GEX 125 E btw.

Order some product from Osren and received it today

The smell of the liquid wax is awesome, feel wanna drink it hehe

Their sprayer bottle and tools really cheap compare to other big brand, really affordable

Not sure how good is their wax but liquid wax is expect to be not so durable , so have to maintain with spray wax surface condition 1 - 2 week once

First thing need to do is , polish out all the swirl and scratch b4 doing anything
*
Ya it smells really good. Thought to ask osren whether they do supply indoor flagrance in that flavour or not. lol
By the way, please let me know how durable it is for the liquid wax. To me roughly about 3 weeks. But i skipped the claying part because too lazy. biggrin.gif

i am using their osren degreaser and compare to OPC
i like OPC more, the osren degreaser smell like they put too much fragrance. OPC smells like chem but more subtle. when both used undiluted., OPC clean sealant off better(how clean my brush after used to clean my pad and go thru both). Currently, they have more versatile cleaner called 'multi cleaner'. Too bad i still have 3/4 of the degreaser left
their spray bottle is good. very good. last long even with undiluted degreaser/APC attack. I have ACE spray bottle failed on me with diluted chlorine inside, the sprayer gave up after 2 months

My ACE spray bottle failed after 2 weeks, dare to state chemical resistant somemore. mad.gif

i've been thru the journey. Still have 'alot' product' and STILL kinda of passion in detailing but due to family time commitment, durability - EASY of use become very important....

Yup. I have "a lot" product as well. OCWax is my all time favourite now, but durability is not as per stated.

Yup. Applied once on my daily driven car. I think not durable because my car is in deep contamination, so cant give a fair review on it yet.
I have tried Osren's synthetic sealant paste wax as well on my other weekend car. That one can last 2 months at least, water beading and sheeting is still visible on front hood.
