Then use the pure WAUD everyweek post washing.

sir, tama po ba intindi ko, bale 1part WAUD to 2 parts distilled water? o yung 1/3 nung laman nung WAUD ilagay sa 250ml or so? kc i have the old bottle of eo wipe and shine. pwede ba ilagay ko dun 1/3 nung waud then fill it up with distilled? therefore making it 1 part waud to 2 parts water? Ano po ba tamang ratio ng water para maging qd yung waud? thanks in advance!

Sirs, how do you dry the water that stays between the crevices and in mouldings after washing? Sorry kung nadiscuss an ito. TIA

Purchase a leaf blower.

Easiest way to reduce this problem is to wash your car at an incline/decline, less water stays on crevices since most of it will flow off.

maganda yung may compressed air talaga. lessens drying time significantly and you're able to get into the nooks and crannies.

bad trip kasi when you're in the middle of slapping on wax tapos you get into a moulding that suddenly drips water. o kaya nasa product removal ka na and that's the time when the water decides to drip. *sigh* tapos IHG pa ang nilagay. dumoble ang hirap sa pagtanggal tuloy...

eto kakaibang tanong.

(Mods, not sure if I'm posting in the wrong thread) How do I convince my mom that Ziebart is not the only one who offers detailing? That there are other shops that can do a better job at a lower cost? (not sure though if she's right...maybe Ziebart offers the best) She can't seem to stop forcing me to bring our SUV there for Diamond Gloss when I don't really see much diff. with our Civic, before and after Diamond Gloss. Hehe!

show her pics ng detailed rides done by other shops. that'll get her to sit up and take notice..

point her to BB's site for instance hehehe.

IMO overhyped ang Ziebart. Please do a search, this issue has been discussed countless times

Tnx. I'll get one when im in the city. Any particular brand? Yong hairdryer kaya?

I wash my car in my driveway which is inclined at an angle of approx 12-15 degrees and rinse it with your sheeting method (works superb). but there are still small spots of water bet crevices. What I did was to get a large-bore straw direct it to the spot and blow air into it (he he he).
