Hey what happened? CA Glenmarie is my favourite spot for car washes, they are quite detailed in exterior washing. I wouldn't say the same for the Tun Razak branch, though...

Waterspots and they left me a long scratch on the boot. The next day I clean myself to remove the waterspots, even cleaner than what they did.

now prefer DIY ... end result might not be that good compare those pro shop ... but still acceptable

sleepwalker..just wondering how much u r paying them to do the detailing job?

having a day with ur precious car and giving it a wash is the best(including interior)..no worries of scratches or everything.....

u can check their website....

autospa

Sad to say, not many people have the time or the skill to be "having a day with ur precious car and giving it a wash"

haih.............really really sad..........

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.

For detailing, it's better to check at Autoworld than FNF, try here, loads of information:
http://www.autoworld.com.my/forum/summary....10511090&page=1

This is another useful link, Meguiar's Detailing 101 (you don't have to use Meguiar's products, just learn the basics):
http://www.meguiars.com.my/forum2/viewforu...b1df797fbffc408

dude i read the forums but what i found out it most of them are recommending Meguiar's product. Is there any product beside it? It is hard for me to get a Meguiar as it is not easily available from all hypermarket. I search thru Jusco, Giant but it seems like i m running out of luck. Parkson is simply too far from me. For me i just require some information on how to do a proper and simple polish and wax. Thanks for ur guide there dude.

u can try permaglass product, can get easily from 1U eneos or carrefour...

i use shampoo to wash


later use clay bar


later do sealant with finishing microfiber

meguiars in KL only can buy in eneos, ace, parkson 1u and subang.

if u dun wan so espensive, turtle wax and the 1 shown by gkl83 are the next choice ...

dude i heard some positive response about turtle wax. Where can i get it i m living at small place in Johor. I still live at the top of the tree so kinda ulu(but i take lift to get in my house) =P .If KL sure no problem i heard many forumer recommend Eneos but the first time i heard them is from Initial D. but anyway which supermarket i can get turtle wax? Is turtle wax is a wax not polish?

Are you sure you're not an Ewok
Turtle Wax is a brand, they have all kinds of stuff.

Well, whatever products you use, you have to learn the basics, like the 2-bucket method, how to clay, how to wax, how to buff, time to wash, etc. Just Google around for some detailing forums

yes, eneos is 1 the japanese oil company like petronas ... and they sell all kinds of stuff as long as related to car ... not only petrol ...

turtle wax is just a brand name like meguiars

suppose turtle wax u can buy in carefour, giant and jusco ...

turtle wax is not cheap either for the 'highes spec' ... their platinum shampoo costs rm35++

for shampoo, i would recommend Autoglym's Bodywork Shampoo and Conditioner.
Selling at 69+ before discount for 1L pack, but should last a year with weekly wash if follow the usage instruction
