zymol....great product...one of the best..but a better suggestion is...u get the product and DIY at home..that will save alot of $$....and u will get rewarded with you own sweat...body ache...and own handwork of shinny body work.

those wavvy paint are called orange peel skin...coz it looks like orange skin surface..

thats because of your brakepad...change your brake pad to a more reputable brand.

go open your own paint shop even better

heard that tar remover very good leh..how much ar?

because there is nothing to talk..hmmm...let me ask some stupid question..

would it be feasible to make the paint have no spider webs for a everyday use car?

polish....thats the only way that i can think off. ScratchX should do the work, but it might be to strong.

dun have to use machine..use ya hand also can. you will have big nice mucle later..

but wax won't cover the little valleys leh...

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.

Most of the forummers here DIY during the freetime, its a good body workout.

go visit a more reputable car detailer, make sure they do have the process of claying. the claying will remove those rought sand feeling.....those etch bird dropping you might need to polish them..then top up with wax...

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

meguairs one is around RM70..comes with quick detailing spray(lubricant)

soft99..only clay is around RM20..

best if you can get a blue clay in ENEOS...japanese brand..only the clay around RM60...

do remember..different clay do have different rating for the abbrasiveness

Nop, is possible that his car no need claying. it all falls back on how well u maintain ya car and how and where you park and use ya car.


is softter for the blue one..so is easier to do ya work


huh?..you gonna spray some oil to ya car body... ....thats a big NO NO...
just wet that pooh with water, wipe it off with microfibre cloth. then try to use some polish. you can try ScratchX first.

Stone chips...live with it, is part of the daily driven car
Swirls .... live with it, is part of your weekly car wash thing


one more thing about clay, once u drop on to the floor. You need to throw it away...

but but ..MG ultimate wipe MF can suck alot of water leh....

anyway...when u guys use scratchX...u use for the whole car?

it will not melt as in melt like ais cream. Exposed to sunlight shouldn't be much problem, but exposing to acid rain will strip your wax off slowly.

uncle sleepwalker..prepare to rinse ya car often...those zymol and carbauna based wax will attract dust like magnet..but the good thing is, they will give you good depth shine
