black oil a lot?strange there,btw,i prefer washing car myself,make it be another exercise,use water spray off those dust then start shampoo the car,wash it,vacuum inside n use something such like sunguard(brand stp) to protect those vinyl or some rubber stuff,finally use tayar spray to make it shinny n black,if engine dirty,normally i just use engine degreaser to remove those oil mark, if after that really got free time then do some wax coating ;)

some says not advisable too often wash cars using shampoo.. once a while ok.. it eats the paint.. frequent wash with plain water the best..

dont wash in direct sunlight.. spray plain water after yr car in the rain (rain drops got acid)..

 

[jinkl]

use very light and soft shampoo
hehe
use the one to wash pinggan mangkuk lolx GENTLE WITH hands , for sure gentle with paint la ..

 

[g88]

can wash everyday but make sure you dun use RM5-RM10 car shampoo....at least RM30 above shampoo consider good since they carry conditioner...no joke

 

[xtorm]

how abt tose with wax n conditioner 1.around rm20 abv....

actually wax is ok rite? can do it like once a week? but polish only do once in around half a year?

 

[Hikaru]

It's not advisable to wash your car daily, you do more harm than care.

 

[rasco]

hm.. then just rinse if see dirt..n wipe off with cloth.. once/twice a week wash..
once a month wax... once a year polish

Check out the FEATHERLITE car wash at ACE HARDWARE stores in the Klang Valley. They are being sold side by side with the Auto Poilish and Quick shine.

Featherlite has a unigue formula that is gentle and will not strip off old wax or clear coat ( 2K). I think it is RM 29.90 or something like this.It will last you perhaps a year.

Wash & Wax, that is 2 in 1? It cleans the dirt and in the next second, wax it ( the dirt ) into the paintwork. This is only for people who who finds that 24 hours a day is not enough and they need another 1 hour and hence need to overhaul the calender.

Car shampoos can even be just RM 3.00 and you can try them on your brand new Skyline if you so wish.

i just wash my car whenever it just gets a lil too dirty to my liking or i have special things/dates for the next day.. every morning will warm up the engine before driving off .. interior carpets just clean it when the dirts start to get more .. and often after car wash just check the respective radiator reservoir, gearbox oil, engine oil, etc.. :)

Question: are those spotless car shampoo's good? You know the one's that say you don't have to wipe the car after washing.

 

[rasco]

isit true that 'snow wash' is not good for ur car body??? :huh:

[simplythebest]

Nowadays I wash the car 1 month once, or 2 months once. No time at all .. Sigh! :( .. The car doesn't look dirty at all, so no need to wash lare. :P

 

[rasco]

wash only when very dirty hehe.. or periodicly err (just got my car about 3 weeks ago..so still early to get a periodic time :P )

for now.. once in a while.. check tyre.. engine oil.. radiator n stuff.. making sure its loaded n functional :lol:

once a month wax... once a year polish

:huh: whats the difference between wax and polish? i thought you polish your car with car wax, well, at least thats what i think until today.

average wash at least twice a month, at most twice a week, depend on how much i drive out and see the whether.

talk about waxing, or polish (i'm confuse here :wacko: ), its been a while, more than one month ago already since i last wax it. I wanna follow my dad and wax it at least once a month, but i'm just too lazy. honestly he look after that car better than i do (and i trash it around corner like no tomorrow :( poor car).

rarely shampoo it, unless its VERY VERY dirty. My dad dun like shampoo too cuz it washes off the wax, and those wash and wax type of shampoo give funny feeling to the glasses i dun like :P

my favourite still tire shine product, always polish my rims and shine my tires :lol: sometime jack the car up take my whole wheel out to clean the inside too
