Wash and wax my car again

I try to make a habit myself to wax my car every month, so today it's been exactly 1 month since I last wax it. Although I hate to wake up early at weekends, but I still try my very best to wake up at 7.30am so that I can start the job at 8 am.

I start with washing the rims first. Below is all the stuff I needed to clean the rims.



Firstly, I spray the Meguiars Hot Rims cleaner on my rim, wait for 15 seconds then only I rinse it with water, and use the cloth to wipe it clean. I also use the brush to clean my tyre to make it looks nice.



After that, I rinse through my car with water, and I use Meguiars wash mitt (the white thing) with Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash. 2 pails of water are also used to minimize the scratches on the car.



After that, I will rinse through the whole car with water again, and then wipe it dry with Meguiars Water Magnet. The water magnet is not really good in wiping the car dry in my opinion, as it won't really wipe it 100% dry, or will leave some tiny cloth on the surface of the car. Anyone got better choice to recommend me?



Newspaper is still the best in wiping dry the glass.



Since my car is still new, it's still ok to just wax it rather than need to clay or polish it first. Hence, I proceed directly to wax it. Meguiars Professional Synthetic Sealant was used to wax almost 90% of the car body, while Meguiars Gold Class Trim Detailer are used for those black plastic park. I use the applicator pad from Meguairs too to apply the wax and trim detailer, and use a microfiber cloth to wipe it off.



Finally the whole car was applied with a thin layer of wax. Since I need to wait 15 minutes for the wax to dry off, I use the time to apply the trim detailer. Those black plastic will slowly turn white and no more shinny black if you did not apply any trim detailer on it after long expose under the hot sun.



While I am waxing, my cute pretty mum helps me by cleaning the interior. Sonax leather care foam was used for the leather chair, and cockpit cleaner was used for other part. Thanks very much to Yukito for sending me these.



After 15 minutes, I wipe of the wax and finally my car is done. Its back to mirror shine~~~!



Below are all the items that I used today. It cost me a small fortune when I purchase it last time.



The total wash and wax process takes me 2 hours and 30 minutes. If not because of my mum help on the interior, it might take even longer! Besides, I also just finish from waxing it and haven't bath yet when I am posting this :p

Time to go for a bath!


PS: I also notice that my car need to be sent for polish soon already. There are many scratches from small stone/sand when driving on the road. Will do it when I am at KL next month before HPC maybe.
