hi thanks for reply..

normal sabun means those wash cloth sabun ah...dish plate sabun ah...some people use that to wash car but I feel it is not suitable....

so the wax job is actually protecting the car paint? or just prevent the car being longer time to be dirty?

serve both purpose.. wax will protect ur car paint and make it shine. At the same time it give licin surface so dust dont easily stain even stain also easily remove. But regular car wash still required...

some pro member here use dish washing liquid when they wan to strip wax.. i do that too i normally wash with car shampoo mix with dish washing liquid when i wash and follow by claying process

btw basuh baju punya sabun for car wash i never heard before.. blush.gif

then how long a wax job can last long usually?

thats mean after wax, need to wash car with car shampoo to prevent the wax gone?

and whats the situation will cause you strip the wax? doesnt it better if the wax still there since it is protecting?

got leh my fren is using dynamo to wash his car... I was feel like "can meh?"

sorry about too much question as I am new in this ...read alot post but still dont understand the process of detailing due to poor language level...

Wax lasting or not depends on a lot factor like quality of the wax, waxing technique, the environment where u use n park ur car normally it range from weeks to months.

I strip the wax because I wan to polish when u wan to polish that's where u need to completely clean ur car then only u start with polishing. There r cases also I wan to apply a better type of wax then I ll clean it with clay also

Never heard of dynamo as car shampoo le but I think dynamo not as strong as dish washing liquid and it's not that abrasive when it comes to oil or grease.

After wax doesn't mean that you don't have to clean the car. It doesn't really help maintain the wax but at least you clean the dirt and when you wash u can know if your wax is wearing off and need to reapply

Nothing to be sorry abt I also learning here cheers bro

Your car is well protected, you still scared water etching? It doesn't make sense leh. If not protected then yes.

not exactly true.. if you leave the beading water dries off under sun it will create water mark. it will be even worse if the water is "hard water", you even can get mineral deposit. I had have coating done and within 1 year i have water mark all over as i used to spray water on it and leaving it without giving it a proper drying doh.gif

The best is to have water sheeting.. the water doesnt stays on the car. by running hose (without noozle) the water run fast leaving car dry. But you dont get the water beading cool looks..

A lot of people are after the water beading and some product like coating, they add extra layer to give the beading feel..
