Today done , Polish + waxing my dad's 15 old Wira using Bosch ROB result was superb
looks great sorry din take any picture

cool....you can do it yourself also ma....not just once of half a year affairs....but a regiment of a routine maintainance

like a weekly wash & monthly wax will last yr paint for tens of years

Great u too have rob.....lets meet up & TT..with all the ROBs owner

My dad bought the ROB like very long time ago , i think he use it 1 time for sanding wood then left it in the closet for like few years .. until i found it
bought a new original bosch sponge ... its was great using it but at first my hand was like numb after all the vibration
using my dad's old car to practice first , not dare to use it on the new car

hi all...sori i know nothing about car detailing...but just wanted to look or someone who can do it for me?...my car just re-paint...the interior is very very dirty...n all the screens n headlights need to be detailed..engine bay too...anyone can help or tell me where can i get a decent detailing?...tq in advanced...=)

My car glass have some scratch on it , how to solve the problem ?

To KC or Seech I'm intrigued by Opti Coat product , from their website it's for pro application only, would multiple layer of Opti Seal provide the same protection or are they different in chemical composition ? thanks.

Hi. The Opti Coat is indeed for professional application only as it forms a semi-permanent coating on top of your paint that last >1 year+++ so any paint defects have to be fixed before the coating is applied otherwise it will be sealed in.

Opti Seal is a great product which also seals the paint but it does not form a coating so it needs to be reapplied regularly. I personally don't see much benefit to appealing multiple coats and prefer to apply it more regularly instead. If you wash your car with ONR and Opti Seal it weekly, which should take less than 30min to do, it would look great all the time!

hello everybody,

i am planning to wax my father's car this week and i need some advice.

I will be using kit wax which has been collecting dust for long time already.Is that brand good?Please recommend me some brand.
The paint of the car is black metallic and 6 months old.

My procedure is wash and wax only.Is clay bay or any other step necessary?

I also noticed there are some hairline swirl on the paint,can i get rid of them by waxing the car?

Also when is the time to polish the car if I wax the car monthly?

Wax - Protection for the Paint from acidic rain etc ..
Polish - Use to remove a layer of clear coat from the paint , so the paint will look like new and swirl free IF u know what u are doing.

wax - depends on ur durability of the wax . If it still beats(rolling off) water then there is still wax , if not its time to apply.
Polish - some do it once or twice a year . But do remember polishing is by removing a tiny layer of clear coat so don't over do it

If the kit wax is still like normal then it can be use . usually wax doesn't has expiry date

Buy according to what u can spend , the best u could go for Meguiers , Mothers , 3M etc etc .. or u can get soft99 or turtle wax .

My family owns a 1 year old black car just like u , I am the person in charge of taking care of it ... u must be extra carefully with black color
its like a mirror reflecting everything on it thats the worst part . I usually wash it 1 once a week or if its not dirty then , 3-4weeks once and waxing it once a month . claying never done before .. doing all those except claying already wasted half of my day

thanks lot for ur reply
ermm what else can i do to make the wax last longer,coz normally after few wash using water only the smoothness loss already.

after washing it , u can try using detailer to seal the wax with the paint , it helps to maintain the wax .. or just wax the car again

yes clay is a must because it is a preparation steps ...

after clay, apply paint cleaner and then only polish ... lastly only wax

clay, paint cleaner and polish consider as paint preparation for wax and if you skip it, wax wont last long because the paint still dirty ...

just curious what is paint cleaner ?? , any example of product that is a paint cleaner..

i know clay and i know polish and i know wax.. but im not sure abt paint cleaner
