QUOTE(satigue @ May 14 2006, 10:04 AM) izit true our rainy weather here in msia not so suitable for detailing? one time rain only, all hard work gone. tht's what i experience. wife always nagging say it's waste of time spending on car instead of with wife & children. I dun think so. That's why we use wax. For protection ma |

QUOTE(satigue @ May 26 2006, 10:11 AM) When my car's body got scratch here and there I go lor. Now only got 2 minor scratches QUOTE(lonewolf @ May 26 2006, 10:15 AM) some recommend every six month, but it still depends on the surface condition. If u do maintain ya car like waxing every month at least twice, park under shade most of the time..you only need to do the polishing one a year. Remember, polishing will make ya paint thinner, so too much is bad for the paint. Yeah...polish can make the clear coat thinner. But, try to avoid high grade polish lor. Like those 4B ones Most of the forummers here DIY during the freetime, its a good body workout. |

QUOTE(lonewolf @ May 28 2006, 11:40 PM) more that a week...wow..that too long wei...usually if u see any poo around, straight i pour water and wipe it off..furthermore, is under the sun...once is etched to the clear coat..then more work have to do....if the poo is within 24 hours and under the hot bake sun, it will etched abit already Yeah...better to clean it off as fast as possible. I mean 1 week is the last resort la. Still can save the paint |
