Dear sifus,

Ive recently purchased a pressure washer (kinda) and was wondering what kind of car wash liquid do you guys for the snow foam as a pre-wash/degreaser? Previously all I do is rinse > 2 bucket wash > dry > spray wax. What I have in mind for weekly wash now is rinse > pre-wash/degreasing > rinse > hand wash > dry > spray wax.

I'm currently using TurtleWax Expresshine spray wax and its about to finish. Any recommendation on what I should try next? I dont mind paying to a maximum of 50 bucks.

Thanks in advanced.

Best Regards,
Bryan

Hi,

Can anyone please suggest good car shampoo for black metallic paint?

20 liters will cost you less than RM130. Can last for 2/3 years even if you wash everyday.

1:50 dilution rate...how much water do you use for each car wash? I find myself filling about 15 litres for one sedan sized wash...

15 litres = 300ml of solution
*
I use around 1.5 gallon of water with "agak2" bubble & wax... say 125ml?

before wash 1 normally foam the car first with DJ iFoam.

Hi guys, I got my first new car that is white.

Planning to buy and apply sealant on my car so that I don't need to wax it so frequently.

What are the average to good brand sealant and the cost? Also, can I apply it after I wash my car with Turtle Wax's car shampoo, without any polishing and so on?

go with coating. a good coating can last you almost 2/3 years

i cant clean the water marks on the car bonnet, I also did send the car for coating 5 months ago. Shall i use the clay bar? but clay bar will totally rip off the expensive coating. Or shall I go back to the coating company for advise?

The rain this few days is killing my car paint.

Clean it with IPA will do. That's my opinion.
Recently I'm too lazy. Since I have carpro essence now, I just do a quick/finishing polishing with soft foam and surface is ready for reload.

With essence , reloads seems to last longer

Bro, how do you find essence... it is easy to use? used it on soft/hard paint? which pad/machine combo?

waregem. have to pre-order. waited for a month. but he restock/order from time to time. have to check with him

I only use essence with finishing pad, occasionally with some rids, i polish with polishing pad (lc hd pads - orange/blue). Generally, i still cut with my microfiber pad with different polishing products and finish with essence. Reason being......essence is overly expensive to use as a one step.
try mad detailer in singapore. a couple of months back i tried msg-ing duragloss malaysia too, no respond. think bite the dust liao.
else you can try with waregem too, he carries a few duragloss product

how much is he selling... i got mine 500ml for 40 pounds

Where can i find this Collinite 476? Will try it out =)

erm i find the surface must be prepped (paint cleaner) prior to using C476 or Meguiar's M16. If not, they will not bond properly.

On a daily driver, I prefer wax/sealant with a bit of cleaners/fillers eg Meguiar's Ultimate Wax / Duragloss 105 / Meguiar's Cleaner Wax.

try to wax everymonth.. then QD/QuikWax/Sonax BSD/Duragloss Aquawax after every wash

Ok.. seems its not so user friendly. I'm currently using the ultimate paste wax monthly. Just thought to switch things up.

Paint cleaner meaning? Was thinking of using the meguiars cleaner wax to clean it up, then slapping the C476 on.. bad idea? Is it hard to buff off compared to the ultimate wax?
*
try to finish off you current wax before getting something new... or else you end up with so many products and they'll go bad when you cant finish them smile.gif

paint clean with light polish/ AIO (all in one).eg :
1. Dodo Juice Need for speed
2. DJ Lime Prime
3. AG SRP
4. Meguiar's SwirlX
5. Zaino AIO

DIY wash every week and DIY wax/sealant every month

shampoo = Osren's new Nano Wash 2.0

wax = Osren's Crystal Block Synergized
https://wetshine.net/2013/04/06/initial-imp...synergized-wax/https://wetshine.net/2013/04/06/initial-impressions-comparison-osren-synergized-wax/

You will need
- lambswool washmit
- Drying MF cloths
- Bucket with Grit Guard
- Wax buff MF

that should be enough to get you started icon_rolleyes.gif
