i juz leave it to the ah neh to clean it every nite with their pail of black water & send for snow wash at shell once a fortnight.
Other than dat, every 4 mths do a System6 treatment at tuff kote. Dats all for takin care of a pearly white car. Need to lay hands to diy juz pay $ let others do the job for u. Same goes to my previous blackie car.

Let ah neh wash sure lots of swirl marks.
I don't see any problems in driving to the designated car wash area once a week to wash yourself.
I just dip the whole cloth into the pail of water, and splash the whole cloth (which holds lots of water) onto the car.
The trick is to spread out the whole cloth. I am usually done in 10 to 15 min, incl wash rims & tyres with plain water. No shampoo used.
I won't say it is a very thorough wash but it clears all bird ******** and visible dirt on the car's surface.

Guys.... you'll off topic again.. stay with my subject

Hi Bro, from my understanding thru quering with different cars (Both Nissan & Mazda).
Both offered me discount of S$500 if I book a white coloured model.
Seems like white is not so saleable as other colours.
Pearl while is different but is still white & hard to maintain the colour.

pearl white not only hard to maintain, even you need to touchup or respray bumper or kits, the colour will never match. sure got 2 tones... sian..
somemore now my pearl white is getting abit yellowish~~ worst
-
Pearl white is nice but difficult to maintain. I have 2 colleagues driving pearl white Nissan Sunny, both park at construction site during the day and both are yellowish now. The yellowish is also in a gradation, in the sense that it gets from light at the top to yellow at the bottom of the car! I think have to give it a hard polish to remove the oxidisation. That is the reason why I did not go for a Pearl white Latio! :D
