So finally i bought a bottle of Turtle Rinse Free wash and wax and a washmitt upon the suggestion of @omarabdullah22

However since i started going through the detailing thread it makes me feel like i should get into it too!.

So heres my first attempt on washing my ride with rinse free shampoo. I was running outta time so i wasn't able to wax it so i just managed to wash it and captured pics using cell phone camera.

My next purchase will be Megs Ultimate Shampoo Inshallah

few questions please:

1. I am using meg ultimate gold class wash for car but A) its expensive B) very less foam C) its finished in just two months. What about meg wash and wax? or any other washing liquid (cost effective)?

2. Which sealant i can use by hand (with out motor) or any one on Pakwheel to offer me only to seal my car (as protec gulberg) is asking 7000 rs only for sealant and i dont have this much money to spend for six months only

3. which interior detailer for honda civic matt finished interior ( anti dust static and wont glaze like cheap liquids)

You ended up your car shampoo just in two month. What is the ratio you are using for mixing it up with water.
Use meguiars interior detailer. It cleans and gives matt look to surface.

[yousufshaikh1989]

Meguiars wash and wax will last you a pretty long time. Specially the current ramdan offer of 2 big bottles of wash and wax available at ahmad yar bhai's shop.
If that is too expensive then you can always opt for cheaper options like Turtle and Formula 1.

2 - Sealants are expensive. One option is to get your hands on detailers pro policoat which is relatively inexpensive or meguiars synthetic sealant for around 2300 rupees. You can also get Meguiars ultimate paste wax which is purely a synthetic wax and would act partly as a sealant too.

3 - Get meguiar's interior detailer.

Jazakallah Usman Bhai... I have Mothers Carnauba and Mothers Reflections Top Coat... I apply them and the car has a veautiful shine but what i want to know is that how to keep that shine and as I live in Peshawar and due to the hectic schedule of my Hospital I cant really buy these things from lahore, (the whole kit) cuz I cant go there...
And if i have tiny areas on thr paint with paint removed how to recover them?

bro...how are u maintaining the finish you produce with the wax? If the finish lasts only a short period of time, try layering.....give another coat after a day or two....or how about a detailer wipe to keep the wax coat upto mark...?.....paint removed will need pics to answer back to...mind puttin in a few pics?

Well i would say rinse free shampoo is just fine.
You cannot compare with the regular shampoo somehow.
I guess it just add lubricity in the water that's it.

Conventional shampoos FTW
It feels like the car is been washed properly and gives a fresh look whereas rinse free shampoo doesn't produce such shine. Even if i wash it with water only i would get the same shine.

I used Platinum shampoo few months back and it was just awesome.
And soon ill be getting the megs shampoo.
Will post pictures than :).

Shampoos are something you keep on buying frequently like wax. Its job is to lubricate dirt off your vehicle with contact with the paint. Suds have nothing to do with a shampoos lubricity- but they sure are fun to work with.

From all the shampoos out there gold class is the best when it comes to a sudsy wash. If you can get hold of chemical guys mr pink super suds shampoo, that'd be great. Othetwise meguiars ultimate is great and gives a good look after you've washed.

Meguiars m21 sealant is for 2150 and can be applied by hand. Its best to do it yourself and it gives you peace of mind that your vehicle is protected. No one will take better care of your car than you yourself.
I suggest you also buy meguiars or mothers clay kit. Its a one time buy and you're good for 1-2 years. Claying will remove any contaminants and will make your paint as smooth as glass. This ensures that your sealant can bond to the surface properly and have a long life. One bottle of sealant is good for 4-6 sedans so two years just fly by with one bottle. A 200g clay bar is enough for 5 moderately dirty vehicles. In short- its a one time buy. Also invest in a quick detailer.

For the interior meguiars quik interior detailer and turtle ice series give a natural matte finish to the dashboard and have excellent cleansing abilities.

Happy detailing! Do post outcomes here. And watch a few videos on claying before trying it out.

Platinum shampoo is fine. IT gives a sudsy and lather-y wash but strips wax. I use it to remove polishing oils and it does a preety decent job (just as good as an apc wipe). Too harsh for daily washes.

I think rinse free shampoo is perfect. It is enriched with wax. spray on a surface heavily caked with mud. You will notice the dirt is encapsulated and rises to the top. It is fulfilling the job of a shampoo. If you want jhaag then use a foam lance. It also makes an un-waxed surface bead water, drying the car is super easy. If you use it in direct sunlight its bound leave watermarks just like any other product.
Another thing, you might want to switch to the double bucket method because with one bucket washing, you are actually rubbing the same overloaded, dirty washmitt on the paint inflicting swirl marks. Your shampoo bucket should remain clean throughout the wash. (think of it as washing yourself with the same dirty water over and over again:P....its disgusting..lol...:P)

Yes you told me earlier that Platinum shampoo is not for daily use.
But i guess Megs ultimate wash and wax would be the wise choice since its cheap + they did not compromised on quantity (keeping in mind that one bucket would require 1-2 caps of shampoo).

Lets get back to rinse free wash
Well im just a amateur detailer so i really can't say rinse free wash is totally waste of money, it might be something im not doing it the correct way or maybe i am judging it wrong!
Let's try again

BTW the double bucket method seems good, but it's for the regular shampoo or it'll be fine with rinse free wash too?
