Bro this is an advertisement post please remove it before someone actually reports!!

If you are a lazy person like me.... can try using those waterless wash and wax.. im currently using this from Bullsone. Really good at cleaning and does not leave scratches on paintwork.

Or if you wanna put in more effort, can try this carnauba wax,

Wax on wax off! [laugh][laugh]

Not very advisable to use waterless wash if

Your car is really dirty. If say you just washed and drove out a bit off dust is fine. Please continuously use a clean side of the microfibre when using waterless wash to reduce chances of scratches. Can try Carpro ech2o as well! It's a concentrate and can be diluted to use as waterless wash, rinse less wash and detail spray! Leave a layer of sio2 protection as well! Tried it and I quite like it a long waterless wash.

Qns - is there any glass coating for paint work that i can buy and apply on my own? I understand might not last as long but if can last at least 1 year would be great already.

Yes there is! Probably you should be able to get gyeon and cquartz. They can last more than a year I would say for hydrophobicity if properly maintained. And more importantly properly applied! It's not easy to apply, you have to prepare the surface ensure it's as perfect as possible free from scratches and and clean as possible with no old waxes or compound. So that the coating can bond properly. And it's also not easy to apply coating. Improper application will cause streaks! And can only be removed by compounding.

 If you are looking for a soft DIY glass coat, maybe u can try to use Bullsone Crystal Coat, using it on my car and bike and seems to work pretty well. Water beading effect is really there and helps with maintain that glossy look. But i believe is only lasts a few months and not a year. Even so, coating is easy to apply, simply spray on and wipe.

Hi guys just to share some tips.

 

Had this bad water marks on my bonnet, went to those polishing service provider and was told they only polish & wax, cannot remove water mark even at $280 package.

Googled & there were many suggestions with mostly saying wiping with pure vinegar diluted with water will solve this problem easily. Went out bought the most expensive brand, even used it without diluting & went through 3 rounds wiping - useless, totally no effect, threw the still 3/4 full bottle away !.

Came across this Meguiar's Water Spot remover in NTUC - works like wonder after only 2 rounds wiping as the marks were there for 01 year already.

Hi Kenken

 

Sorry for late reply as I was not allowed to post yesterday as I am newbie and

must have certain number of approved post blah blah...

 

I guess should be able to use as I know water mark remover is normally meant

for painted, as well as glass surface. Let me check is it stated in the instruction

and revert.

water mark got few type, if it was etched , you need to machine polish or worse case, wetsand before polish.

 

if mineral deposit, watermark remover can be use to remove. some chemical stain may look alike to watermark too.
