hi, just realize there is one good detailing thread over here.

I have been washing my car by myself for 2years+ now...

weekly wash meguiars gold class shampoo + MF clothes + 2 bucket method (one for shampoo fluid, another to clean MF clothes)

monthly (sometimes twice a month) wax using Meguiar M16 + sponge

3months/6months - Clay (PG clay) + Meguiar colorX + M16 + sponge

recently notice that under street lamp, there is a lot of swirls on the car surface and plenty of watermarks too (dark color car)

would like to know any suitable way to rescue the situation?
I think it is getting more and more "sandy" feel on the car surface..(last week just done the clay+colorX+M16) and it took me the whole morning a lot

thanks for your reply.

Just normal pressure as washing other stuff (plates, cups) , is it correct?
normally i did clean thoroughly during rinse, and because it is weekly wash, not much dirt can be catch by MF (by rough eyes monitor)

The sponge is from Meguiar too, it is a square, white-colored, size is larger than a soap a bit. I tried to find on its homepage, seems it is no longer available there..

on monthly wax, i wax only after wash, with no clay though. For the applicator, i used the sponge (for nearly two years already). The sponge surface did become dark (or dirty?) . Does it means it no longer suitable?

Previously, although i can see the swirl, but the surface still smooth.
Just recently, the surface become very sandy/rough feel

may i know what is 3 MF method for washing?

yes..any video on how to apply this method?

Hi kc,

thanks for the details reply.

Yes, it is a black car. I only wash my car by myself and I never wash it under the sun. Erm...recently, my neighbour just did some renovation, it did make my car covered in a layer of dust after that, i wash it, still feeling the surface is very sandy/rough. Previously it is quite smooth.

Okay..i would like to know more of car detailing too
And i would like to get some ONR since my washing shampoo is almost depleted.

Normally my car just park under house porch and wash it there

may i know is ONR available right now?
