QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Jun 21 2007, 03:12 PM) Sometimes home washes scratches the car more than the professionals out there, unless you are using the high quality microfibres and terry towels. One thing is for sure, it's way too much effort to clean my car the way autospa does. Takes them 90 mins to clean the car and they dry the car 4 times over with 5th layer shine spray. Don't think I'd have the patience or time for that. While they are cleaning, at least I get to spend 90 mins online at Lowyat.net. hmmm... you seem very satisfying with the services provided by them... but all it need to prove it is TIME... over a period of time, u will cry... after the wax is gone.... |

QUOTE(clsiluf @ Oct 4 2007, 09:23 AM) Wax is for protection and since I wax every 4 weeks, it does not really matter anymore. For wax test, simple, either use the eye to see or a more scientific method is to look at the water beads on the car after it rains. The beads should be around the size of 1-2 cm if the wax is still good since water does not stick to the surface of the wax. Anytime there are water spots bigger than 2 cm, it's time to wax again. |

Both organic wax and synthetic sealant has their own pros and cons, depending on what kind of result that you would want to achieve.btw, wax nowadays abit old technology leh..... there are new technic... like sealant..... |

Actually you don't need "high-end" brands of waxes to do the job
Soft99 Meta Clean is a very good, economical (Read: cheap!) cleaner wax that is highly suitable for DIY purposes. Beats Meguiar's cleaner waxes |
