Car Care and Detailing Dreams (Part 3)

[autophile]

My patch is very dusty as lots of houses are being constructed around and roads are crap with dust clouds all around.

[saad310799]

100000% agreeing with you as karachi is a nightmare for all detailers

[saad310799]

Yes the hapiness of a successful session is more than anything

[saad310799]

Wow bro which area are you in?
looks like your water contains polish and wax at default 🤣🤣🤣

[autophile]

I live adjacent to Bahria Town.

[saad2006]

The last application of wax was January 11, 2021 on Grande

Which wax was used ?

[saad310799]

Oh detailers dream water area

[autophile]

Tonyin Crystal Ceramic

[saad310799]

How was the hydrophobic behaviour during the wash and from where did you bought?

[syednayl]

I have it too, its a fine wax, nothing special imo. Average Gloss, Above Average Protection. Buy it from Pakwheels auto store, but I would rather recommend soft 99.

Same here
I tested this too
It's average
It's just hyped up by pakis like Totachi and liquimoly engine oils
even nu finish is better choice if we compare longevity

[hammad_hey]

Exactly. I found it below average if i compare it with turtle super hard shell. Super hard shell is the best wax in 1000rs budget

[saad310799]

Thanks

[saad310799]

Really?

[syednayl]

If you're looking for something cheap and good turtle wax fits the bill perfectly ( Again though invest a bit more and get the cheapest SOFT 99 you can, its worth it x100), also Tonyin's wax smells like absolute crap. It is so strongly sweet, ruins the fun of waxing your car

[syednayl]

Yeah but nuFinish is 2x more expensive, for that price I'd rather soft99 or meguairs. Agreed though, it's hyped because its different, but really its the same crap different packaging at 2x the price.

[autophile]

It's just OK. Bought from Pakwheels store. Got three different variants.

[saqibhassan95]

Yeah but nuFinish is 2x more expensive, for that price I'd rather soft99 or meguairs.

You missed the fact that it's 400 gram
Double of tonyin 200g
So in apple apple 200g comparison, 400g nu finish costs 2250 and half is 1125
So 1125 vs 850
It's 275 rs difference
I have used both
Car is daily driven, 250-275kms a week
Tonyin 2 coats lasts for approx 2.5-3 weeks
And nu finish 2 coats have crossed 5 month mark
Here is water beading after 4 month mark

It was still strong even at 4th month considering its cost
Now 5th month is about to end and it has started showing weakness with 6th month start
Beading has weakened a bit but sheeting is there
So I'm waiting for it to break down on its own rather than stripping it off for another product
And it exceeded my expectations in longevity dept considering cost
Tonyin crap is no where near it
Initially I planned to just use it once and sell the remaining but after this experience I'm planning to finish it on my own car, with 4 coats every year, 2 coats every 6 months

[saad310799]

Ok thanks

[saad310799]

Oh nice but hope you know it also contains polish particles also
