QUOTE(adriankhoo153 @ Apr 14 2009, 05:52 PM) I was saying polishing made ur paint coating thinner and certainly waxing would not make ur paint coat thinner. Shampoo? Bro, do u know that our paint coating is very tough? It wont come off jes like that la. Only polishing will made ur paint coating thinner. That also very very little only. Only a few mm thin. i see...btw is kit wash car shampoo good??.....or any other shampoo brand can recommend?

can try Parkson, I think i saw some products there. but anyway, I don't see why should we spend the money on shampoo instead of the "after wash" products. for me, i am using Kit shampoo to wash but always use auto detailer and a few micro fibre cloth to remove excessive dirt and make it shinier

I am using my own concrete shampoo, it is a mixture of cheap shampoo + some liquid...my own formula. It works pretty well, generate more suds and better cleaning power without strip of old wax.. One bottle 2litres shampoo last me maximum 3months...

For washing purpose, it's better to get a proper lambswool or micrifiber wash mitts. For drying or buffing wax, microfiber clothes would be appropriate.
