Using dishwashing liquid can remove wax but not all...some may still stick to the paint. Better to use tar remover wink.gif

Hi guys, a quick question...

If its a new car would it be okay to give it a wash and later apply nxt tech wax to finish it off?

How much different is the nxt tech wax from the nxt spray wax?

well .... its ok but not very effective lo ... for the wax to last, proper surface prep is really needed ...

Spray wax are usually use between wash n wax ... to put it easier to understand ... after u wax ur car ... coming weeks u juz wash ur car n touch up ur wax wif the spray wax ... coz usually u oni wax ur car once a months or mayb longer ... unless u like egie lo ... got ppl do for him laugh.gif tongue.gif

although new car, it is usually left outside the showroom and rain n sun already done a bit of the damage ... so the best is actually to clean the surface eg: clay den oni u wax lo ...

juz my 2cents ...

Autoglym one. For normal wipes they wont use MF. MF hard to absorb water ler. Look for Lan or Mie...just tell them what to do. Mie is the expert there...he was trained with other Sunway detailing tauke's as well wink.gif

P/S. They only use MF for detailing jobs wink.gif

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.
