What is the correct way of waxing your car? you do a circular or a linear motion?

Bakit ung ibang car makintab pa rin kahit hindi ni polish or wax, car wash lang.

Any idea kung pano i "restore" yung mga MF towels ko? Winawashing machine lang kasi but hindi pinapaarawan, di na sya fluffy like new. Parang tumigas yung mga fibers. Feeling ko kapag ginagamit ko pang buff ng Collinite since sobrang tigas ng wax na yun maybe may kinalaman sya dun. Or maybe I should just buy a new set of MFs?

What detergent or soap do you use to wash the towels?

Check the finish closely, or under direct sunlight - I would bet, 95% of the time, that you'll see swirls, RIDS and water-spots on the paint.

This is an example. The car looks shiny from a distance. But under a high power halogen light, it has lots of swirls.



right side polished, the other half unpolished

Thanks sir ginnova. I could clearly see the difference.
