Bought a new Japanese paste wax for dark colored cars, that claimed to last 3mths and is water repellent. Did a preparation round of wash + SRP polish + liquid wax on the previous wk, and one wk later, washed the car and put on this new Jap wax. It was actually pretty easy to use, and as long as applied thinly, easy to buff off wif MF cloth as well, and smells of fresh lemon! After my ride was smooth and shiny, I parked it in my company's open carpark, under rain and shine... and this is the result 2 wks later... Water spots spotted on the bonnet, but only those on the top of the slope (nearer to windscreen) are more obvious. But the water spots on the boot are more obvious, probably becos the boot is level and water does not flow down easily. And the bottom of all doors are covered with muddy water spots fr driving through all the water paddles. Though my ride looks pretty bad wif all the water spots and a couple of bird shits on the roof, surprisingly the car is still rather shiny. So it's actually considered not so bad for a not-washed-for-2-wks car Then I washed my ride with shampoo, wash down and dried it, and the shine is back again! Like as if I've just waxed it! I'm not sure if it's really possible for this wax to last 3mths in our weather, but for the ease of use and shine that last, I think it's not so bad The only thing I dun understand is, why the Japanese must use diff wax for dark and light cars leh? Dun see why shd there be a diff unless they added some additives so that dark car wax makes a dark car looks darker and vice versa for light car wax? hmm...

Hi all, Sometime back I share some DIY Aircon filter for my Focus & here's the result of the filter after 3 months So remember, even if you switch the aircon to internal circulation (mine is always switch to internal circulation) there are still lots of dust in the car cabin Some Japs car comes with a aircon filter tray for both internal & external air, the focus only have a external aircon pollen filter that only filters external air coming into the aircon, there isn't any for internal circulation
