a question to ask,how often do we need to clay? most of the time i heard is 6months once..twice a year with proper maintenance steps?
if i wash->clay->surf prep->polish->wax after that wash regularly using Meg product..can stand up to 6months?thanks.

anyone?
mequiars swirlX?

follow by NXT Tech wax for maximum protection?
if u stop at Swirlx,like halfway only. hmm.gif

by the way,applying swirlx by hand or polisher got huge difference? or we just cant go any further with consumer range products?

i treat swirlx as surface prep step,after claying..got little bit of polish effect eh..polish is optional,can skip it n straight to nxt.

what is the dilution for OPC for paint cleaning purpose? 1:8? is it just wipe off the surface will do? follow by swirlx/scratchx (if necessary) and lastly wax it?
i heard OPC strip down everything on paint surface including wax.

Degreaser+hyperdressing will do the job..
no need to cover up any parts eh?assuming those fuse,wire joint are sealed properly..unless the car is like in the 80's..i juz spray my avanza directly w/o even covering the batt connector.
