QUOTE(knight @ Jun 29 2012, 12:34 AM) not to say not GOOD...but what is the effort required? 2 hours? 6 hours?i used to have this to detail my car now only with this a 20 minutes car wash & 5 minute car wax fmost of the car wax is make of carnuba ( a kind of palm tree & needed to be dissolve by petrol base distill) but Alien Car wax is QUOTE(ShowTime;1064030807) Sometime ago I asked Chris Thomas of OPT USA whether can OCW/Alien Wax be used for other uses... say CPU casing? He said its possible... it just that he reminded me to make sure to KEEP the microfiber cloth damp at all times to prevent static electricity! This is a DELL computer casing that uses a single stage spray-on paint without any clear coat. Some of us know that OCW/Alien Wax works well on modern day paint system(2 stage...base coat and clear coat). So how would a wax like OCW/Alien Wax react to it? Well lets see. I first cleaned the casing with a dampen(with plain water) general purpose microfiber(non plushy ones) since its just purely light dust. Casing age is about 2 years old. Product used... Optimum Car Wax/Alien Wax of course. ![]() ![]() Just 2 light squirts. I didn't press the trigger all the way full. ![]() Noticed that there is more beading on the left side compared to the right side. I did let OCW/Alien Wax cure for 30 minutes. Temperature indoors is about 29C-30C. ![]() NON Abrasive... No black paint transfer. Those marks on the microfiber cloth is basically just OCW/Alien Wax or just water(I did use the same cloth to wipe off the water after doing a 50/50). ![]() No stains in the cracks. ![]() No unscrewing of casing required. I did unplug everything from the back of the CPU so I can perform the application. BTW, do note to use common sense when trying to mess with electrical equipment using some form of liquid, if there are vents on the casing then its best to spray OCW/Alien Wax onto the cloth and wipe it down onto the casing. Application takes seconds. For the water spraying demo, I did make sure that that side has no open vents. Also I did be very careful not to spray water into the casing gaps too much. It works for me but for others, at own risk. Thanks for watching! Guess I won't be waxing until Christmas. http://www.chemicar.com/cardetail_wax_offtestreport.pdf QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Jun 29 2012, 08:23 AM) I did not really mean not good, but as my previous reply is to earlier on comment that one of them mentioned after they wax their car their car still getting dirty. Waxing is a layer of protection, however like I said, weather such as acid rain combine with sun light, wax can deteriorate and melt. And when it melts and dry, it stains your car.

Any advise for me? ONR is designed as a maintenance wash which cleans without removing your wax. However, if washing is not carried out regularly or there are some very stubborn stains then you should switch to Power Clean to remove it.Do let me know how it goes... |

I mean the stain build up within a week, which could not be washed away with ONR, I wash at least once a week.Do let me know how it goes... Procedure: clean with power clean -> wash with ONR -> apply wax After a week with 1 or 2 days raining, done, stain built up again |
