hi all sifus, sorry for noob question, white or dark grey is more easy to take care?

imho i think both colour also will easily become dull if not take care.
the dirt or dust also can be easily seen if no wash regularly.

let's say if the car keep for >7years, white(solid) or dark grey(metalic) is more suitable?

i'm in dillema choosing the colour for my new ride rclxub.gif
*
solid vs metalic. metalic would be easier to take care n more sparkling but i would suggest u look into silver or gold colour ....easiest one to take care vs white n dark color

Thank you.
I only have an ROB and DA. No RB as not pro yet.
For products, I just go for what I like and easily available and not overly priced. For some spray waxes, I do buy those bulk (professional) versions as I use them a lot. But for waxes, polishes and compounds, I use them less so I just stick to consumer range.

As for coating, I'm more of a traditional guy and after reading a blog from Kenneth Tang aka Fishbonezken, I'm still a little doubtful of the pros and cons. See here. Unfortunately there's is no official result but do read through the comments by the author.

aside from reading others review or experience. you should create your own experience (in coating), wax will become your 'mist and go' product soon. Save time, save energy and LONGER durability.

Sometime can't denied got to follow trend bit to make good use of time....else very hard to evolve

hi guys, i am newb in car detailing, getting a new white car soon and hopefully i can take care of it.

would like to know is it a good start with "Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax" for a new car?

my target is wont let it turn yellow in 3-5 years then i m happy d sweat.gif
*
rajin wash (or at least once a week), never allow chance to build watermark or dirt film, top up wax after wash...dun part so much under hotsun...ur paintwork is good as new even after 3-5 years...

MAINTENANCE is the key..many ppl before get new car very excited, but after few time wax wash, passion go down longkang (sorry say that) sent outside wash...whatever protection all gone.

I only have sealants (synthetic wax): FK1000P, Autoglym EGP, Fusso 12 Months Wax, Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax. I guess they would last me years  smile.gif
I do have a bottle of Meg cleaner wax though but seldom use it.

I got a question for all the sifus here.

I noticed that my car has these streaks like marks on the door panels, it's not very visible and can only be seen at particular angle.

As far as I know, i didn't leave the car shampoo to dry on them before rinsing away and the car is waxed so water just flow right off =/ i just don't know why they appeared there.

Cannot be removed through eventhough i applied some pressure with my fingers and rubbed on them =/

any photo ? what colour is your car and did you expose it to rain ? what product u applied ?

i'll share a photo later when i go back home.

it's a white colored car and no, i didn't expose it to rain. spent 90% of the time indoors/covered car parks.

i currently use Magic 101's Glo-White shampoo and Soft 99 's 12 Month's fusso wax.

The wax is the dirt 'magnet' even it provide very good water sheeting. your 10% somehow created the mark.

I saw video in my FB that there's new washing type call steam car wash, basically using only steam.

First time I know of it, anyone know whether is it a gimmick or real deal?

this technique existing long ago, not on car cleaning but household.

hmm.gif if what you said that waxes are dirt "magnet", does this mean that the "stain" will go away eventually when the wax wears off?

I don't think so it's oil stain though because if it is then smudges will appear if I run my fingers over them but they seemed to be quite embedded and very determine to not go away =/

Initially I thought those were stains left behind by dried up car shampoo but I don't wash my car under direct sunlight and i don't leave them long enough for them to to dry up and plus, if these were stains left behind my dried shampoo, they can also be easily remove on my next wash but somehow, they don't =/
*
PTTE - the chemical properties of fusso coat is not easy or cannot be 'melted' off/easily = good bonding hence it will take long time for it to wear off (good side is LONGER durability)..so pros and cons its there.

If you mentioned smudges appear = highly possible the surface wasn't proper prepare (clean) or the product not being apply/buff off well...

is your paintwork original ?

I saw your photo and it has something to do with Soft99 12 Month Fusso Coat + 10% outdoor parking. I believe during your 10% outdoor time, you exposed to rain and sun repeatedly and that's why you have those dark stains which are not removable through normal car wash. Correct?

I realized Soft99 12 Month Fusso Coat has this issue. So, the best way to remove the dark stain is to use the existing wax to perform cleaning (which I don't really suggest this way) or to use wax cleaner (eg: meta-clean, etc.) to remove the embedded stains. Try it smile.gif
*
its not an 'issue' for Fussocoat but its CHARACTERISTIC of product. I am sure most of you experience your hand become STICKY after apply the product thru the applicator = very bonding to paintwork BUT downside its become MAGNET to dust and dirt even it still bead well after x months....so all product has pros and cons....

Yes you need cleaner wax to move the STAIN (partially remove the product)....UNLESS you have coating then polisher with HAND will not able to remove the coating....thats the PROS of it.

if the stains will go away together with the wax then at least i know it's not something permanent =/

the paintwork is original, Tafetta White and I applied the Fusso Coat few weeks after I got the car so chances are, the paint is still quite "clean", i did a thorough claying though before applying too.

initially, i also thought that it could be from improper buffing off the wax but it appears unlikely because the "smudges" are in streaks rather than patches. Fusso Coat is in paste form :T____T:

i think might need more abbrassive polisher to 'reveal' the real issue...e.g is it due to poor factory paintwork or clear coat ? or maybe need the extend of compounding to resolve the problem....

Hi everyone, those who are using foam lance, which car shampoo produce the thick foam? I have used optimum car shampoo and 3D pink soap. Both a bit viscous. I used the suggested ratio and even over generous.

What's your dilution ratio ? Chemical Guys is good.

you can never wear off a 'true' coating with hand or even with polisher...unless heavy compound
