Be wary of bring able to distinguish between a POLISH and WAX.

Polish, if frequently used, especially on new car paint work, can strip its protectitive layer.

Wax is recomended as it coats your paint work with more protective layers of wax.

But then again, even if it is cheaper at autobacs than supermarket. The savings may not justify the cost of fuel there and the extra manhours spent.

same feelings tooo.. Last time , i asked a lot of people.. mostly say can get ALL from autobacs.. but then i dont buy all at one shot ma.. so not justify to go autobacs @UBi each time i want to buy something...

so i started this thread to consolidates all the GOOD and common places to buys good stuffs..

so that everyone can buy them at commonly accessible locations
