i prefer d turtle wax FINISH 2001 liquid wax.....i buff it wif microfibre cloth....so far it gives d deepest gloss compare to kit,soft99 and also other lousy brand. some say it will scratch my new paint if i buff wif microfibres.. but wat d heck as long as its shiny n my car is just an old honda eg wif new paint anyway..

Meguire is still the best. Featherlite is so so only.
I would say the wet look by meguire far superior than featherlite and i think featherlite good for old paint car rather than new.

But, featherlite is effective at covering up the swirl marks, although not removing them.

Meguiar's NXT tech Wax & 3M paste wax all the way :) raining season nowadays is the best time to wax ur car more often. if my housing area is not raining and im driving back from a raining area, when i reach home car dry edi :P can see all the water beads flying off the car while driving. if my housing area is raining. just park my car inside then use water and hose down all the dirt. next morning, look like just finish washing my car. lol

both this product is from U.S. im surprise u have not heard of this 2 brand before. the Meguiars NXT tech wax is easily available from ACE hardware. price the last i bought is rm80+. the 3M paste wax i dunno where can buy and how much issit coz my dad brought it back for me.

in my humble oppinion the 3M can last longer than the meguiars but is harder to apply and wipe off as opposed to meguiars nxt tech wax. both definitely can last for a month but i wax my car once every 2 weeks.

guys, i'm a bit curious..

is it wash car, wax then polish or is it wash, polish then wax?

what's the difference between wax and polish? from what i think, wax is to get the dirt out and polish gives the shine. right or wrong?

:confused_smile:

I just washed, polished and waxed my car bonnet. Can see a bit of difference but still lots of stains on the car. I think those stains are under the clear coat already la. hahaha What to do. Old car, no money to respray. hehe
