Car attracting dirt particules after waxing

[Stiener]

Dear detailers,

 

After I wash and wax the car and drive back home (no MSCP in my area), it attracts a layer of dirt almost immediately. Should I wash the car and wax it at night instead?

There are some anti static qd out there.

Just to ask if you used wax that dried to white haze before you buff off, or wax which doesn't require heavy buffing?

 

I do remember that in the older paste wax which turned to white haze, and these heavy buffing resulted in these attracted dirt after waxing session.

 

while modern polymer or sythetic coating, did not attract the kind of particles that the older waxing method did.

Are you referring to the antenna thingy?

I am using the liquidwax. No need to haze or buff.

Usually dust tend to land on a waxed car easily...there is more solvent or some call it oil in a wax and this actually gives u a wet look and nice water beadings..mo need to wash again..it goes of after awhile

Hi Benny,

 

I have schedule to apply a layer once a month and waxing it weekly or bi-weekly. Just wanted protection against paint and nice water beading. Is this schedule too frequent?

Hi Stiener..If you intend to layer wax once a month..U can use a detailer to maintain between washes..

I left my bottle of shampoo at the washing bay last week. Didn't realised it until I wash my car today. So sad.

A lesson learnt...to get a small bottle and take what I'll need out for the car wash.

Can't be helped. Haze has surreptitiously crept back again.

I also decan the liquid wax, window cleaner, tyre dressings into smaller bottles.

 

Lighter on my hands.

 

 

If leak or forget to bring back, the lost is minimum.

Need to dig out those small shampoo bottles from hotel liao.

[Blueblack]

then what detailing we can go after to prevent dirt from sticking on the paintwork ?

[5936]

Hotel bottles are really small.

 

I started with these small bottle, but cannot tahan the "per wash refill".

 

So cough syrup bottle and those 200-300ml bottles wil be just nice for a few wash.
