normally i use the pressured water machine that my father bought it, normally use at car wash place. i use the machine and wash my car, after that i use the car shampoo to wash using sponge. And then i use the machine to wash it off with a lower pressure(turn the pipehead). After everything is clean then i use a microfiber cloth and normal pipe water to rinse every part of my car to ensure no dirt left. Is it ok i using this way?
and 1 more question, can i wax my car few time a row? like,
first wax>clean>2nd wax>clean>3rd wax>clean?
Sorry for my noob question, after i bough a new car, i very well appreciate the car. so my question might be a bit troublesome =(

Wow that a cool guide. I like your blog, the way you explain with full of pics really make things clear. smile.gif
and by the way i do waxing 1 layer almost every week, just that when holiday or have a day free then i might do it 3 layer waxing. biggrin.gif
and yeah, do i really have to use the clay actually? coz normal i pressured wash>clean>pressured wash>wash>wipe.
never tried clay yet. so is it really have to use clay for a more cleaner process? i scare i might scratch my car because of my minor mistakes. blush.gif
oh ya, by the way KC, where do you bought those car cleaning stuffs such as wax? coz i think i want to buy a more trust able brand wax and car wash liquid. any suggestion for wax brand and car wash liquid brand as well for the place to buy it, cant really find at cheras.

You should clean the MF after every detailing session. ONR wash you'll expect the MF to be dirty as contaminants will be stuck to the cloth till you wash it in normal carwash or dishwasher like dawn. Don't mix cloths for different use per wash.

For normal carwash usually your dry cloth should always be clean while wash cloth or mitt should be able to clean when agitate. Hope you're using two bucket system one for wash which shampoo should be always clean while the other bucket is rinse can change water if too dirty.. I like to use the pat dry method using my Cobra Waffle Weave HD with center foam core last left.

Don't mix cloths for wash dry with polish lsp as will cause product cross contaminant. Usually lsp cloth won't be absorbent anymore for drying. Different cloth for different usage. Meg SS is all rounder good for polish removal as short nap. Cobra or higher gsm cloths I usually use for wash/dry or final buffing as longer nap safer.

Having premium MF is part of detailing as prevention is better than cure. My car of a few years has minimal lines and no swirls using two bucket system. Happy detailing!!

Thx for the details...
1 more thing, does the optimum car wax need to shake well before use?
