exp la..
wax myself..  rclxub.gif

permaglass brand is good for budgeter lo... can get it from carrefour hypermarket easily...

get a shampoo to clean ur car 1st...
then use clay bar to remove contamination which not able to wash away easily (the most time consuming step)...
later wax/sealant the layer on car paint to make ur paint oily...
use clothes to rub off the dried wax/sealant...

if u want to do proper waxing (no shortcut or cincai cincai), need almost whole day to complete every things... smile.gif

Frankly, the white colour is not easy to be maintain and not for lazy people.

because you have to wipe or clean the car everyday once at least to avoid any watermark or dust to mask inside the paint.

if you lazy for it, your white paint will be left a watermark or become dull and have to do a hard work to polish and sometime can not recover 100%.

im agreed with you.

for white car, once u lazy to wash your car frequently, the stain will stay there, and by tht time, normal car shampu will not wash away it.

U mean that rotary buffer machine? Not good for regular use. Nothing beats regular washing. And if there are real stubborn stains or tar, use clay bar instead. Its really good, i tried it before. All stubborn marks on the lower part of bumper gone using claybar.

according to one of auto detailer that i know, polish machine no good for new paint bcos it more "hardcore" than hand polish... if want to do minor repairing only or just want to make ur car shine only, better avoid to use it...

if u want to maintain ur car as like showroom car, go to for professional detailing...
but who the heck will drive showroom car on the road for daily usage... tongue.gif
so DIY or look for budget to detailing on exterior should enough if use the car daily...
at least give some "vitamins" on car paint... no necessary give "ginseng", "abalone" on car paint lo... sweat.gif
but if got extra money to burn, i wont avoid professional as well... tongue.gif

give professional auto detailer should use hand as well rather than polish machine...
if car paint in really bad condition then have to polish machine to shorten the time...

u can see that most of the exotic cars built by human power instead of machine...
proved human power giving better quality than machine... flex.gif
