how you protect against those stones hitting your grille and bonnet?

1. Don't drive the car so much :lol:
2. Don't drive on rocky road...

Mine also got kena...can't do anything...touch up balik lor... but i am on option 1

g88- how u touch up balik?

le - yeah, usually with a seperate cloth when wax off. [/b][/quote]
i touch up balik with the left behind paint that i got from my paint shop last time (4-5 years back) when i respray the car

[Seraph]

u mean the buffer machine? ;)

 

[popiah]

spec.check, some waxes claim to clean and polish and at the same time. these are slightly more abbrasive than pure waxes. pure wax does not have any cleaning properties at all. :P

turtlewax falls into the first category, which is an all in one polish wax cleaner etc etc.

 

[spec.check]

popiah dude,

thx for the info. Doesnt waxing give the same effect as polishing? Wuz the diff neways?

Seraph,....so, its called a buffer machine. Never knew what it was called.

chirz,

izzit soft 99 white is good?

 

[popiah]

hi spec.check, a pure polish is used to deepen the car's colour. however, it has no cleaning or protecting properties. pure polishes like meguiar's show car glaze is said to contain special blend of oil and chemicals to make the paint look wet and deep.

a wax is a protective layer that is applied as the final step in a car polishing process. there are some containing natural carnuaba wax, and there are some that are polymer sealant.

the cx, i dunno about soft99 white, i have not used it before. :P i have used the liquid soft 99 in a blue bottle before, dun like it. hehe.

im using white pearl,every week must wash,if u leave more time then the dirt will stick to the paint...then u r going to spend more on waxing or polishing...

True.

My first car was a white EG hatchback.

 

[farique]

my dad owned a white saga before.. the color and the shiny last for 7 years! B) then sold it! :(

the trick is, wash your car with clear water, not with car shampoo! it will make the paint loss its color soon.. and one more, wash your car at least once in a week! :D

 

[spec.check]

popiah,

I reckon it is then advisable to apply wax after we have polished the car. Brands like KIT...is that a polish or a wax?

 

[lan evo]

is damn difficult to maintain white car,no matter how clean u washed if rain then become dirty,theres some black colour stain.sigh :(

 

[junauto]

It's pretty easy, the dirt of course you can't stay away from that. As long as the white shines just wash with water and place the car under shade which I have and color still shining like new after 2 years.
