Maintenance and cleaning kit
yangzhe:
I juz collected my latio sedan CVT last wkend. As this is my first car, I am glueless as to what kind of washing/waxing etc stuff to get. Can someone recommend the brand and kind of stuff to purchase. Thanks.
clarence:
Congratulations on getting your Latio ;D
Any brand of shampoo like Kit etc. will do its job.
For wax, any brands like Kit, Turtlewax will do. Liquid wax is easier to wipe off compared to paste wax.
To apply and wipe off teh wax, use 2 separate cloths. Those 'Good morning' towels are best. Cheap and good :smile: And the 'pores' on the towel allows any small sand particles to be 'trapped' inside, and hence yuour paintwork will not be scratched.
There is no need to get branded waxing cloth, shampoo and wax. It's all a marketing hype.

and also get a good chamosis cloth to suck up all the water.. get those good one>> like $5 per piece ... will help you dry your car much faster ..
2+ mths ago , when i got my car, I boughtArmourall products as they are commonly available in shopping centre or petrol station..
but once i finished my current batch, i might switch to duragloss/autoglym products as i am thinking of getting those groomers to maintain my car once every 6-9 mths.. so getting some of their products for my weekly DIY use too. So that there will not be any compromise in protection effect (maybe its just my imagination) haha

Welcome to TLC bro...washing kit you can get it quite easily in hypermarket, e.g. Carrefour or Giant, the washing products will do a nice job...As for waxing stuff, it depends on your preference if wanna DIY or send for grooming service. For me I have a grooming service twice a year from Groomwerks (the one that our TCM advantage card provides for 40% discount), sometimes do have a bottle of wax to touch up minor door scratches... ;)
