yeah too much of waxing will thinner your paint coating , unless you are using solid normal paint else polish once a month would do

Added on October 30, 2008, 3:16 pmthe purpose of polish is to polish off the dirt and grim that stick to your paintwork , so no neccesory to do it if you dont have anything

Waxing is to be done at least once a month to protect the paint. Do not mix up waxing with polishing. Waxing is applying a layer of wax to protect the paint. Polishing is REMOVING a layer of the clear coat to reduce the visibility of scratches and swirl marks.

Get it right guys. Don't confuse yourself.

Paiseh, that kinda logic sleep.gif .

Why you bath everyday ? Still will get dirty right ? Waste body shampoo and hair shampoo, now all the prices increase..

I like to drive a clean car, gives a better image of myself . Eventhough its my maid who washes the car.

A wouldnt want to pick up a friend or a business associate in a dusty ass car.

even the car is not moving for a week, my parent will still call me to wash it
spray some water to the car body, use a cloth/sponge to clean it off with car shampoo, after that rinse the car with clean water, lastly use a dry cloth to wipe it off
i know is tiring but u can treat it as exercise tongue.gif

It hardly even rain here these days... Even if the rain help to wash your car, it will actually turn out to be dirtying your car because of all the dirt which comes with the rain and moreover it's acid rain too laugh.gif

i neva like to send my car to shops to wash it. they juz dont wash properly. i m kinda fussy when it comes to my car. its never clean when they wash even in those car wash specialist.

so, i will wash my car everytime it gets dirty. maybe twice in 2 days. or 3 or 4 days once. or at least once a week even when the car is clean. dont like to see my car dirty. i make it a point to wax my car once a month. dont vacumn as often as i wash my car cuz i hate to vacumn n i make sure it doesnt get that dirty inside. i make sure everyone dusts their feet, shoes or slippers b4 getting in. no food especially keropok in my car. so, u can see how i try to keep my car clean. exterior is not in my hands but interior yes. i hate fingerprints on the exterior n windshields. if there is, i will still wash my car. hehe.

n when i wash i really wash my car. every single part i make sure its clean. maybe i m not a pro in washing cars n that is y i take minimum of 2 hours to juz wash, at least 3 hours to wash n vacumn n juz add another 3-4 hours if i wax my car.

the reason y i do all these, cuz i love my car. alwiz want it to be in showroom condition.

most of the products i use are from amway. amway car wash, silicon glaze(wax), car protectant(interior) n tire shine. if my tire shine finish, i will go tothe nearest car wash n get their tire shine in a 500ml mineral water bottle for 5 bucks. i strongly recommend amway product to all of u. this is not cuz i sell them but it is really damn good for an affordable price. interested to get them, let me know. hehe.

wat are the pro's n con's by washing my car n being very particular bout every single thing?

Pro's: satisfaction everytime i look at my car n when people admire or give possitve comments on my car. this is priceless.

Con's: water bill shoots up but who cares.

i think its best to wash in the morning. do u bathe in the mornings? y? to feel fresh n clean rite? our cars too have to fell the same. besides that, no direct sunlight. under a tree oso can but not under sunlight. when the soap or water dries, the stain will be there. never in the afternoons too. love your car as u would love yourself.

I seldom send to car wash as i always saw part that the cleaner missed out after the car wash. Prefer to wash myself (meanwhile to treat as Exercises).

But unfortunately due to i'm staying at Condo and busy at work. Most likely one month or two only i can wash the car once.
Would wash it weekly if i'm staying at house. smile.gif

Probably the wet dirt from the ground splattered when driving in rainy season ~~ Ya, kinda a good practice to rinse off that dirt before it gets dried up and at the same time cleaning off the acid content in rain ~~ Bagus bagus

If you want you can wipe dry it ~~~ ANd you a nicely cleaned car ^^

for me, its once a week

self wash, using maguier's(not sure of the spelling) shampoo+paint conditioner

self wax once a week also

i'm quite the clean freak, so any stains will be wiped off ASAP

every morning, splash my car with water, then wipe it.

different cloth for different usage.

For me, once a week.

Most of the washing, waxing and interior is all done by me, if I have the time to do so. Mostly in weekends but sometimes I occasionally do it on weekdays.

If I don't have the time, I just go to the nearest petrol station and pay a whooping amount of RM 15, full cleaning service.

no, why we wash weekly ? is to wash away those dirt, if you wash once a month, the dirt can bond permanent to the car paint 1 ... happen to my iswara before ... so, it doesnt matter if it rains.

same concept as we shower ...

kind of true..wax can protect or take off water easy..car without wax..the water will not drip off ur car that easy..so waxing is good to me..even raining..after rain, u flush with normal water will still some how take off the dirt..
