My car is almost 3 years old. Never polish, very rare waxing. I'm not car detailing enthusiasts like you all, but seeing my car now is really frustrating. Huhu. The surface feels rough with swirls, water mark and scratches. Even the windscreen feels rough. I can see tiny2 particle on the surface. I do wash it with meguiar gold class but I know it is not enough. (I only have that actually for my car).
How do I get rid of the roughness? I heard about claying. Is it better to DIY or send it to shop?

I've read somewhere that watermarks can be removed by using diluted vinegar. Is it true?

QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Nov 29 2012, 04:59 PM) Meguairs cloth is nothing special, you can buy the same waffle weave that Megs marketed as Water Magnet for RM20 flat OEM. Exactly same stuff. Cobra waffle weave on the other hand, is whole lot different story, pretty much I only need 1 cloth to dry up my whole car. It is much more thick and large in size. I can let you see the real thing for a comparison if you like. What is OEM? You can have the water magnet rm20?? Wow..I bought water magnet for 50+ if not mistaken.

Owh..thanks for all the reply. The wax come with the kit..so i thought might as well use it. Hehe. I saw some beading effect (betol ke term ni). I never knew it gives sooo much satisfaction when seeing it.
BTW..do we need to rinse off / wipe dry the car after rain. Or just let it be
