Daily or Weekend Coupe? & Maintenance

[Daniel Lee]

wah...you guys are welcome. Got to warn you guys first. I'm using a bosch drill machine that can be converted into waxing type. Not those mainly for waxing only. :)

Ace, never mind, just make sure you change the drill head to waxing head, if not my car will full with holes............hahahaha.............:_:

Daniel...I learnt something from another zth member...

1. You must polish your car first...I think 2-3x (to removed all the dirty elements from the paint). Your paint colour will be very dull after doing this.
2. Then you wax your car to give the necessary protection & shine.

If you just walap & wax just like this, you end up protecting the dirty flim of dirt on existing paint....lagi worst...

dartango, thanks for the info. :_:
But izzit necessary to polish it 2 to 3 times before waxing?
I just do it once and I'm already very tired. Whole body sweat like hell.
Moreover, everytime I wax my car I will be very angry and sad to see new scratches and dents...............:cry_smile:
Coupe body is so curvy, hard to get someone to touch up the dents without leaving any flaws behind.

daniel, it all depends on the workmanship. .

BS, you're right.
Maybe I should try out the workshop that babyprecious1988 sent her car to repair. The result was amazing. Still remember the antenna hole that was filled on her car. Really fantastic.
But don't know what's the price.

Daniel,
you don't polish often. You wax often. For polish is best leave it to specialise center to do that. After that, you can wax as often as you like.

 

[Daniel Lee]

Oh, what brand of car wax are you guys using?
I'm currently using Kit Car Wax.
Heard from others that Turtle and McGuire are good.

 

[Ace]

I tried all every possible wax and find that ADLER wax is the best. You guys can trust me on this. Its easy to apply and buff off leaving no power or dust.

Do you all use just one sponge to wax the whole car?
