How about Tupps polymer wash that printed these?
- pH Neutral
- Polymer Protectants
- Anti-rust Agent
- No SLS
- No Phosphate

No idea on SLS and phosphate, are those related to salt and soda (in chemical term)?

i just bought a car from used car dealer 2 months ago, initially the paint condition looks acceptable, then day-by-day more scratches surfacing and the paint begin to fade (grayish appearing). also the windscreen begins to accumulating water-spot from no water spot to heavy water-spot. I wash my car almost every week myself. owning few cars before and never had those issues occurring so fast in short period. so ytd i send my car for polishing and waxing.
i believe the car wash center which using bubble wash detergent cleans all dirts off. i got shocked of the paint condition after car wash.
this area become so horrible after bubble wash:


boot condition also very poor:


after the polish and wax the condition looks better, not 100% but acceptable. my question is, how come my paint condition can deteriorate so fast in 2 months? when the car was collected, the paint doesn't looks so bad...

i'm using PG polymer wash&wax, washing once per week or fortnight.
actually i suspect the used car seller don't know uses some sort of oil to masquerade the paint imperfection, but I don't know what they used. so i guess bubble wash cleans all those "oil surface" off, then we seeing those gray area appearing...

yeah, i also suspect it was hidden by some oil applied from used car dealer.
will observe how it goes after some wash.

so yesterday my father wash my car using the manual lazy wash & wax method...
1. wash with car shampoo.
2. rinse.
3. pour soft99 wax into bucket of water, wipe as car wash.
4. rinse.

I got when he told me this, keeps arguing as he believes this water wax method works...

It can be deep, very deep. Those cats created few visible claw scratches within 1 week after collecting my black car, sent to compound polish the worker told me unable to recover after he tried, too hard it will burn the clear coat... I think it depends if the cat's paw accumulated with sand particles... I not sure if having those thick 9H ceramic coating will reduce the damages done?

Mind to share what brand of 9H coating you used?
I saw those youtube video they use key-fob or plastic side (of coz not sharp metal scratching) to scratch, after that just wipe away those residue, impressive...

Rainy season now, park your car outdoor to stress test the sealant's durability. Hehe

You mean 12 months without car wash as Fusso has excellent water and dust sheeting effect?

best cheap aio winner goes to carplan polish? lol

some coating claim their product got 9H thickness. i don't think it might protect stone chips, but maybe the hardness might help to reduce the swirl?

gonna meta-clean my black car tmr evening if weather permits, been misty without actual rain for few days.

Hi Boss, is your Turtlewax Polishing Compound paste-form? How do you apply?
I bought the same and follow their instruction to use "WET" cloth and rub, seems not much help as water stain still there? Are you apply it using WET rag as well?

Just now try again with hand applicator, spray little water before applying to the surface. It dries so fast and become sticky! I'm having hard time to buff-off, like buffing cement..

Consumed so much time buffing, only managed to try on boot and bonnet surface, other surface I quickly use Soft 99 metaclean and found it cleans better as the applicator turn black as soon as I apply. While Turtle Wax polishing only turn the applicator to light grey-ish..

Is Meguiar's Ultimate Polish good for hand application?

strange, i just applied "sealant" to my car 3 weeks ago. with frequent rain i'm not able to wash car until yesterday. it was so so so dirty with black strips like "tear drops" especially around door handle portion. why is it so? is it the sealant not doing proper job (I expecting rain droplets won't stick to paint surface thus is should be dry and clean even no need car wash).

using Carplan Mirror Gloss Sealant. After wash car just spray and wipe with sponge...

i did wash through those area during washing car, or need "special" detergent to clean it thoroughly?

Errmm, it's liquid-based synthetic sealant, not traditional wax. it doesn't absorb dust which wax does. i guess something like opti-seal...
but it seems particularly make the car looks dirtier in rain condition..

actually i applied the sealant after drying the car..
the "slickness" still there after i wash the car, but i still don't understand how come the car more dirtier during rainy season.

can try the famous Opti-Seal, but expensive tho...

damn, I think a mistake of applying sealant to my cars. the surface was slick and smooth and could've causes wild cat to use maximum "paw power" to crawl my cars. both cars saw deep scratches few days after i apply sealant (different occasion).
