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.

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?

shampooo and conditioner?? lol.. that funny for me.. a car need conditioner too i never knew that. But pls dun recommend somehting that i wan to get but i cant get. Anyway my dad would kill me if i buy RM69 car shampoo for my LMST. the proportion doesnt seem rite. I wouldnt mind if i m driving a BM.

do u clay ur car? I mean i saw in some of the forum about claying its use a clay with ur palm and rub it against ur car rite? Is it polish and waxing sufficient for my car?

so many item.. Meguiar's item really expensive

U use b4 Kit Wax? I m using it now.. also very hard to wipe off when dry.. some more after wipe still got the blurish effect... then need to wash the car again only got blink blink...

i use Kit wax becos my car paint is new and it claims its suitable for new paint and non abrasive.. ur NXT how much? abrasive or not?

if abrasive then my new paint tak boleh tahan le... Meguiars i no.. but its too expensive and i hardly can get here.. i search some of the major shopping complex and hypermarket but i only found turtle wax no Meguiars.. NXT dunno got or not..

johor no demand so no ppl selling.. i try to wax every 1 month.. polish ya try to make it 6 month polish 1 time.. those wax got depends on car color or not.. i heard some wax are suitable for car with dark color..

combo = polish+wax.... machine is machine.. abrasive = polish that ll hurt ur paint.. the chemical contains inside the polish ll remove some layer of paint to clean the dirt or to make ur paint like new.. not recommend to use often... Scratch X is a product of Meguiar's(branded and expensive car detailing product manufacturer)

polish is a product that mean just now.. polish is not wax. Yes for those spot if u cant remove the dirt then u need to use those abrasive polish like Scratch X to remove it.. The polish ll remove a coat of paint along with the dirt.. So if u polish regularly or very often ur paint ll become thinner and thinner... After wax actually depends u can wash or dun wash is ok.. I normally wash only wax then leave it for a week or so only wash again. Yes i think most of these wax and polish product shd go well with metallic paint..

I think the Application pads are span...sponge.. u get me?
the pad is use to apply wax or polish when u do ur polishing or waxing job...

Ur car mirror use those window cleaner like klenex those for normal house glass cleaning product clean it first then... use clean cloth to wipe dun use those shirt to with ur car or window.. Those cloth ll cause swirl marks on ur car... recommended to use mirco-fibre cloth

Polish if there is unremovable dirt on car shd be practice a year twice unless ur car very very dirty. If u wax ur car every month those dirt can be remove easily unless for bird dropping... u must clean it as soon as possible if its bird dropping or fruit juice...
