Yes it is.

Trust yourself, go ahead do. The best way to protect is brand new car, easier to maintenance some more.

I learnt that it is quite impossible to get swirl free. I already gave up swirl free finish. As long as I get mirror like finish with not very visible swirl, then I'm ok with it. Example of my weekend car, 3 years old.

Can, front loading machine is preferable. Do not wash microfiber towel above 40⁰C. Wash only microfiber type and don't mix with other cloth type. I only learnt this after many years of detailing.

aiyo, every times read this thread, so many nice photo to see, make me itchy to show mine. 1 layer cleaner wax + 2 layer MHCW (wet application), did it on 11/3/20

Better test on small area first to avoid ruin the paint later. If good then continue on.

No la, that photo taken by wife on 12/3 after raining, the next day I detailing it.

All my car bead like crazy one, haha. I didn't check the durability because i don't want to start over and over again. FYI, meguiare ultimate wax last me 6 weeks in monsoon season. They claim HCW is more durable, so i assumed maybe in 8 weeks or something. if i did ultimate wax with HCW combo, the effect will be more crazier. up until now, i got top up 2 timed of HCW as below photo in dry.

My car don't have orange peel, eh, what do you meant?

I used 3 of them. Paste and liquid no difference but if you have big pad, I suggest you used liquid form. After 1 years plus of usage, now I prefer liquid form. Spray wax is not for wax the whole car if no wax exist on the panel. It just act of topper for maintenance, prolong the durability of wax that we already applied before.

Bro, I just posted before, spray wax is for maintenance only not to substitute actual wax.

in bold, yes it is.

You meant your black myvi? Strange, I thought is based on colour. Can't comment on myvi.

For Mazda soul red crystal, that is not orange peel. It meant to be like that when reflected with different light source of angle. That's why Mazda signature colour is so beautiful. For comparison, my machine gray and deep crystal blue don't have this orange peel.

MHCW can replaced the liquid and paste wax. These 2 serve different purpose bro. If you want the paint pop or stand out especially dark colour car, you have to use liquid or paste wax. HCW is designed to have coating like effect with ease application. Since HCW is more durable than liquid or paste wax, it is best to use as top layer or sacrifice layer. The best part of their product is you can "rojak" between their waxes, find which one is suit your taste. This is also main reason i stayed with their product. Go experience yourself, you find out kinda fun.

i also used spray wax to maintain a HCW layer, quite nice as well.

Sometimes their products overlapping each other, so it is confusing some times.
