I have countless text, calls, email....asking
how do you keep your white car white? well it is not easy but truly rewarding

I used to use 99 soft but ended having hard muscle ache polishing wax, alot of effort to remove water / rubber stains......on the paint


begin with the most contaminated area of the car..... Wheels

but now with the safest Multi purpose cleaner - so effective to degreaser and yet so gentle to be used on leather.....just dilutes according to your need.....

with the help of

I use 1:3 alien clean/water for rims (only uses 25% strength)

1:5 alien clean/water for painted area (17% strength)

lower area - is the last area you would like to wash (so pls begin with the right spot)

washing is always from TOP to bottom

remember - let the car cool down (best in the morning or evening)
start from top

OPT Car Wash smells awesome too! Smells like blueberry! Nice lubricity & enough suds.
 
It's so easy effective and most of all another effortless car wash! Wipe on and rinse off in just less than half an hour
 
That's quite some detailing going on there..
The wheels changed from BBS to Lambo..
Wonder what it could do to the car..
:P

To my personal experience, its best to use the LEAST aggressive method to get the job done. Try claying 1st using the least aggressive clay. Example PG PERMAGLASS CLAY number 1(blue) or number 2(green). If you have PG clay number 3(aggressive white clay) then use it after trying those least aggressive clays. If still doesn't work then its straight to polishing(least aggressive polish/All In One product). Try a test spot polish by hand 1st using an applicator pad or a soft sponge since glass is harder than paint.

Unless KC & other enthusiast have other trick in their bag. :smile:
