rain-hop if not mistaken is old product. The new one now is Fusso Coat..

Your step 3 and 4 is actually the same. you just need to do either one. as far as i know ScratchX is usually not use for the whole car.

your method is what i was trying to do as well, but i didn't coz i can't do layering for SG later on.

Klasse you can get from car wash SS2, same row as perodua showroom.

thanks...u da man...

if the surface of the paint is rough like abit sandpaper feel, the only way to overcome it, is claying ? which brand would be best to deal with it , from budget range product . thanks

any brand of clay will do...if your in budget, you can try PERMAGLASS clay or SOFT99 clay..

okay, noob question here, can i apply 3 or 4 layer or Meg's Gold class wax?

you an..but is abit waste in my opinion..1 is already sufficient enuff...detailing is not how many layer you lay on the car..is more on how often you do ya car detailing that counts..

coz i only got both gold class wax and wash, i dont have the NTX,
damn these stuff is expensive!

just wash and apply 1 layer of wax then enough? but i saw on the ealier post that ppl said appying up to 7 layer??!!

you dun need up to 7 layers of wax ...you only need to do that if your car is a show car.. ...

just stick with the basic rule...clay when is needed, prep the surface before you seal with wax/sealent....

Just for ya info..NXT is not that great anyway.. ..overhype marketing..

are there any cheap and cheerful clay around? i dont think i will clay so soon coz is a new car

because it is new that you should take care. anyways, do a test on your paint surface after a car wash la. get a cigarette plastic, put your hand in the plastic and just feel you car's surface. if you feel dots, those are bonded contaminants. that means you should clay before waxing.

yea but the problem is hard to find those clay , today went to brothers puchong branch ask them about soft 99 clay bar they can ask me back "what is that"
bro lonewolf mind telling me where else i can get it beside eneos ?

you can try MIDVALLEY jusco, there got SOFT99 clay..

Brothers..i think u need to go to Kelana Jaya branch, is located on the top floor on the alley side..dun bother to ask those workers in brothers, they are security rather than selling their stuffs..

for me, is better to clay every time before u wax...

dun go to Brothers except no choice...

they selling at higher price with stupid service...

last time the SOFT99 clay in jusco cheras even got 10% diskaun....

Guys, anybody try this before? Like Teflon on your car. No need to wax. I'm curious on it.

hi! I'm new here. 1st time car driver. Going to get my car soon. I'm going to buy red color metallic but my friend advice me not to coz 1st my place don't have shade make the color fade very fast. 2nd, i need to really take care of it like wax, polish...

how often i need to do it? my fren say got skill one.... how much is the service charge in average?

What do i need to do to maintain the glossiness of my car color at the same time it won't fade so much over the years?

thks!

abt a 2month now, my review on NTX and GC wax is

NTX.
more shine ( good for dark colour)
not durable ( 3 or 4 rains will wash everything, my case 1 heavy rain kao tim)

GC
more durable
more depth



conclusion
everythning has its good and bad


optimal solution for both
1.wash
2.clay (soft 99)
3.wash.
4.dry
5.apply NTX, (apply whole car 1st then wait till dry, then buff)
6. let it cure for 6 to 24 hour
7.rinse
8.dry
9apply GC wax( apply softly else NTX will rip off)
10 buff.
11. sit back and watch ur car, drool~

Those DCS steps are for polishing; the clay kits are for claying. Ur package has the polishing parts in it vs the clay kit only.

Added on July 6, 2007, 10:02 amSoft 99.. about $26.90

Brothers Kelana Jaya. I bought mine there.

Kedai Abang is where I got it .... it`s RM2 cheaper than Eneos. If u go to the Abang in Kelana Jaya, go up the staircase, turn right then left (so u`re in the center between the shelves) move to the 2nd pillar in the middle. That`s where u`ll find a load of Soft 99 Jap products. The clay bar is there. The staffs there may not know what a clay bar is ... but those who do call it "sabun". Go figure. - according to kenneth@myviclub
