WHITE CAR

[Totallypatrick]

For white car, dun use car shampoo to wash it. just use plain water and wipe dry. Got this tip from car polishing uncle at bukit batok autobacs. As for me, i try to wax every week as my ride is pearl white

[Thug]

Wa...u hardworking lei.

I shall not buy white car next time.

[Maddriver]

care to share what is the reason not to use shampoo on white?

[Davidcks]

wah, dun shampoo how can?? water only is not good enough lah. cars get very oily one after a week.

Another factor is the mixture of white paint used.

 

Toyota white has more yellow mixed, after sometime will look yellowish.

 

To mantain that brilliant white color, the white paint used must have more blue must be mixed in.

aiyah mine new car mah.. new broom sweep clean.. tat's y try to wax as often as i could cos i work in tuas and car is subject to sand blasting and those chemicals fumes. car can be dirty after 1 day park there.

 

the uncle at autobac says white car use car shampoo will turn yellowish very fast. i also can't explain the logic.

My wifey 's ride is a white,i cannot go without shampoo.

[Pet88]

i would think use mild shampoo should be ok..

[Nohorserun]

using Duragloss shampoo from MD,one cap each time.It shines too.

I'm also driving a white car using DG shampoo from MD , some of the dirt might not be able to remove by using water alone leh.

[Crossback]

me drivin a White car also....polish every 2 weeks seems ok.....but only

problem is the petrol tank area turns a bit yellowish..how to prevent or remove that?

[Steelblue]

Use cleaner wax/Autoglym SRP/Klasse AIO/JeffsWerkstatt Prime first...if cannot ask a bit of Menzerna 106FF from Benny, I'm pretty sure this one will do...but try method 1 first without abrasive...after that protect the area with wax/sealant since it's prone to petrol stain.

My polishing guy said certain shampoos and cleaners contain dont-know-what chemical and is responsible for white >> yellowish. Of cos the original paint also important and he also say alot of Jap car paint no very lasting.

Hi, usually i pump petrol myself and after that i will use some water to rinse that area to prevent it from turning yellow You can try a AIO cleaner wax to remove the stain
