Xspace 1st Gear November 13, 2011 Share November 13, 2011 I recently went for PPS (around 1 week ago). How do I wash my car now? I'm thinking of doing as such (mine's a white car): - 1. Wash off the dirt and soot using shampoo (Glare shampoo) mixed with water 2. Rinse, and wipe dry 3. Spray Duragloss 951 and wipe through Is this okay? Thank you! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddriver 4th Gear November 13, 2011 Share November 13, 2011 The usual maintenance will do..wash with shampoo..once awhile use a detailer to clean and top with DG aquawax..maybe about 3mths later..u need a non abrasive aio just to clean up surface thoroughly..

Xspace 1st Gear November 13, 2011 Author Share November 13, 2011 Yeah bro..951 is good topper..u can use a quick detailer to clean before 951.. What is the purpose of the QD? Then supposed I do not have the QD now, I can use my above method? White car really gets soot and carbon easily... :wacko: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

White car really gets soot and carbon easily... :wacko: Some QD some cleaning properties..Becos with PPS on..Usually they would recommend not to use polishes..worrying it may remove the PPS..and with the carbon or soot or those stains at door handle...below side mirror..How to clean without using polishes?? the only way is with QD..if Qd cannot remove..another option is using the Optimum No rinse..very strong washes..

dcb Turbocharged April 6, 2016 Share April 6, 2016 Which shop not to use QD? Polish no but QD is definitely ok. With the PPS craze around, please help to answer this. The Shop say not to use QD or polish?. What say you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddriver 4th Gear April 6, 2016 Share April 6, 2016 With the PPS craze around, please help to answer this. The Shop say not to use QD or polish?. What say you? I don't see why you can't do a mild hand polish or an AIO on surface if claiming coating has 9H hardness? I use an AIO once every 6 months to clean up the surface with coating. No issue for me. QD for sure are not abrasive but has good cleaning properties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
