Any known sealant that you had applied and really would suggest?

Many shine and protect deals I had used in the past. Just wanting to know more for white car which is the best. Thanks.

Most sealant will not able to maintain it if you dont weekly wash it. So weekly wash is a must!! Quarterly give your car a full grooming job, any products will do. I m a DIY guy and brought my own full set of grooming equipment, using meguiars products.

I do agree that wash at least once a week is a must to maintain a white car. Black colour is the most difficult while silver is easiest to maintain. I personally feel no special body treatment or polishing is really needed.

Your energy level is very high.

Salute you for your relentless efforts.

These days. Rain bait here and there. My white car is now a spotted car.

I had a white Bimmer previously, after few years color will turn slightly yellowish. Also scratch marks are very obvious, so need to really take care of your ride and not park beside big lorries or vans etc.

Frequent wash and polish definitely helps, but may I humbly suggest to just enjoy the ride for a few years and then send for a respray. Do a color change, you will have a new car again! :)

Ya thats wat i was told by my fren who opens a grooming shop. He suggest if i really have to do it, use no rinse wash spray and wipe. If really very dirty bo bian have to use hose.

I do regular grooming sessions every few months and a guy at my car park for the daily washing.

I think it's more of the daily elements that makes white turn yellow, doubt waxing often being the cause.

Power endurance...... seems like Meguiar's rather popular. I had been using Meguairs Quick Detailing for some years after every wash...Does it job well.

 

i just bought Amourall Extreme Shield Wax... going to pamper my car this weekend.

 

Also to tell you guys i read this New Product....http://www.aacustomshield.com/ Will be good for NS highway run to prevernt paint damage at bonnet.

 

Wonder if anyone tried it.

I don't think anything can prevent paint damage on NSH. Hahaha... I'm testament to that fact.

ok....i dun want to remind you of your pain. Maybe small stone / sand chips could be prevented.

Bro, Easy

 

How do we see or detect if the white car paint had turn yellowish?

Visited CnC, they told me pearl white tends to turn yellowish easily as compared to other white.

What kind of reply and excuse is this!!

 

 

Bro, want to proof them wrong? LOL...

 

Get white masking tape.  Make a box for demo area.  Use your paint cleaner, apply with applicator pad and buff off.  Remove the masking tape and see.  If there is a white box, drive to C&C and ask the same guy to look at the nice clean box.  :)

 

James.
