MashAllah! Thank you for the kind words about my Civic, appreciate it
The trick is to treat your car like your child, and that does it all lol.
Anyway, Biloxxi would do just fine then, i might be getting it soon inshAllah, i hope it is available at Metro, DHA; ive always been a little hesitant on using rotary buffer on my car, especially because of the reason you mentioned above, but i think oribital is now the need of the moment because it wont get any cooler here in Pakistan.
Thanks a lot for the detailed reply bro!

Yes brother it is available at Metro, Airport Road.

Tayyab you wax your car every week! how do you you manage that how much time does it take to wax your car completely?? also please tell me do you use car tyre shine polishes do they bring wetty shine or its just the pic on their products??

Yes, I wax my car weekly.
Believe me it doesn't take more than 2 to 3 hours(including thorough washing from inside and outside) whether you do the waxing by your hands or a buffer.

Basically,Wax apply a layer of UV(Ultraviolet)Rays protection on the clearcoat.So,incase you need to park your car in a sun for more than 5 to 6 hours,you need not to worry as your car's clear coat is safe from the rays.

Secondly,dressing the tyre with tyre shines seems no practical for our dusty road conditions.I never spent a single rupee for tyre dressers.Why spending more than Rs1000 for a thing which can't even stay for 1000 seconds?

I only dress my tyres when I am going for a Pakwheels GTG, other than never used it.

A bit from my side my car gets waxed weekly as well, time I take to wash & wax car is around 3 hours,then the engine once a week takes around half an hour only, though once a month the engine is properly cleaned in like a 4 hour session with the steel,aluminium,rubber an plastic bits an pieces being polished later on. Interior seats an dash an trim are like a weekly ritual with the better part of 2 hours going to them, carpets are dusted every morning,though once a month a proper cleaning with brushes an upholstery an carpet cleaners is done. The undercarrige is cleaned one a month, tyres off, with proper scrubbing an a hot water jet.Thats the weekly an monthly routine, though every morning it has a dose of micro fibre towel, an tyres are washed as well. Tyre shiners liek bad cheetah said, dont bring in that look they promise....somehow in the add the tyres look like they`re made of plastic an the most shine i ever got was destroyed as soon as I had a 5 min drive, the wet look caught all the dust an the tyres started to look like they came of a rally vehicle which has just finished the dusty stage. Though cheapest solution, get those small desi lustre packs, put them on a foam an rub in a circular motion till it dries out.

yes i know, it is good to wax your car frequently, you should also do it.

too much wax is also bad. I wanted to know if excessive wax is bad so i coverd the fuel door with so much wax that the paint cudnt be seen. i buffed it thoroughly but got a really bad answer. the paint in that place doesnt gaive a deep shine

well there is a difference between too much and frequent use of wax.

no matter how thick of a layer you use of wax, only a certain amount is to be stuck with the paint, so the excess is basically coming off as a waste, and is extremely hard to buff off.
just use a thin layer of wax, wait for it to dry, check with your finger, rub your finger on it, if it is coming off easily without leaving a smudge behind, it is ready to be taken off, otherwise it needs mroe time.

and frequent use of wax isnt bad.

Its not all about shine,its aprotection layer on your clear coat.

Secondly, many factors are involoved while waxing.

1.Which wax do you use?
A good wax is good for car and a cheap wax is harmful to the paint.Simple is that.You really don't know what chemicals are used in preparing the wax you are using,whether the materials used are synthetic or natural.Different kinds of waxes of different brands are available in the market starting from Rs200 to more than 2lacs(yes, Zymol Vintage Wax cost more than $2500).But lets take it to a simpler side,you can use the Mothers or Meguiar's Waxes which are rated as the best waxes for an ordinary class.They surely have better chemicals than a cheap Rs200 wax.

2.How you are waxing?
Depends on your method of applying the wax.While applying the wax,the key is that apply a little bit of the wax,spread it onto the surface and buff it off.You really not need to cover any part of your car with so much wax.

3.Waxing plays its role on the clear coat only.It is totally non-abrasive and doesnt contain polishing/cutting elements.So it is totally safe for paint.Just check the rating of the brand you are using.

When you buy anything for your loved ones, you always choose the best thing out there.Same is the case with your car.Love it and it will love you.

oops i always wax my car every month but it took four to five hours i am also planning to take that buffer ..!

in rather simple words, wax = protection by adding a layer, polish = shine by taking off a dull layer.......make yer choice!

Thats a golden rule of waxing for you, make sure you apply a thin layer an make the paint utilise all of it, rather than go into THOPA technology an then complain, aay lath di nai aram day naal. After a near 20 year period with cars, my hand only recently got accustomed to waxing, you must lay a thin coat so it absorbs easily into the paint and isnt a pain to remove later on, personally I let it dry to a light haze just to see if i`ve missed a spot. But people please read the instructions on the box or can or whatever your polish is in......some polishes need the applicator to be moist, some need it to be dry, some need immediate removal, some a delay of a couple of mins or a specified condition e.g haze. So read up carefully an then use the product, you wont get a 100% result otherwise......even if you remember by heart how to do it, just have a read over on the instruction everytime for a refresher. Oh an please leave those myths of "gadi thup wich khalar kay polish karye tay boti chamak andi aay" An the "rati gadi polish nai hondi nami pay jandi aay"

Waxin needs shade and a cool surface, do not polish under direct sunlight, your wax just dries up from the top an doesnt pass on down to the paint, on hot surface wax wont penetrate easy into the paint....

[margallar]

i know how to wax. The thopa thing was an experiment. as for the myths i always have an argument with my driver, he insists that he do it in the sun while i ask that was the manufacturer of the wax an idiot to give directions. now i keep most car care products with my self and us em myslf

I'm impressed by your knowledge and after reading the thread, went to Montgemri road, but was unable to find this "Saca Auto" where it locates

And secondly, bought Ma-FRA micro fiber that purple one, but somebody or maybe you mentiond it was of 300 and the "Filter House" guys gave me in 475......anyways, bought MA-FRA car fragnance, which is very cool, and a degreaser type thing for rubber channels, hope it helps my windows......though I do not own a new lush push car, but still love my ride Will post pics of what i bought in some time....

JazakAllah for acknowledgement.Though I`m still learning, have a long way to go...were not here to to rave about new lush push cars, but about how yer precious is being kept!

A more detailed guide to Saca Autos is :
If you come from the back of assembly hall, when you reach the signal where montgomery road starts an the shell fuel pump is also present, on that exact spot to your left is a bricked plaza by the name of Sunny Plaza, climb up the few steps you might see an you come to a passage, at the end of it youll see autoline and on your right youll find saca auto. Kindly for future refrences anybody an everybody Mr.Waseem is the owner, if you cant find it buzz him on 0321-7821082 an he`ll be more than happy to guide you.

@pico, look for micro-fibre towels from MA-Fra product line. they are available with filter house.
Also, there are some German brand micro-fibre towels at saca autos. They are available for for rs. 300 a set of 3. But i reckon that MA-Fra's towels are much better.

If you read carefully brother, Devil has said he got the Rs.300 towels from Saca Auto`s for a pack of three an not a single Ma-Fra towel, hope that cleared your confusion.

Contact jz at pakwheels.He can help you with us.
But whatever you apply,let the car rest for 10 to 12 hours for the air intake to completely dry.

WE ARE AT WAR BOYS AN GIRLS!

Driving back from office today I had the very very very bad experience of looking into a very very very pristine kept city......07 model, same as mine, lekin jin bhai ki thi he just kept it so his garage wouldnt be lonely, an when i opened the door, ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh, you know, woh wali feeling agaye......hardly 5 k driven car, each an every inch genuine, heck man even the goddam parchi from hondafort that they used to hand on the headlight dandi was there..........I cant explain more, ill get weak at heart, you people must understand what a virgin car is.......this was one of those...an to top it off, batameez insan had bought it in my same colour....bhala mei hi mila tha azeyat denay kay laiy usko? The car interior was sooo pure n all, i was thinking if it was mine id make my kids take a bath, have their hands tied an then be allowed inside......an well I did say MashAllah many many many times an came back home, disgusted at the interior of my car........it looked like a stable man in front of what i had experienced.............an then the dreadful thing happened, i found out the kids an their mum had gone to in-laws, a sign from Allah that war must be waged on the interior..................a mixture of very little pre-soak an loads an loads of water was loaded into the bottle gun,an my very precious soft an wide tipped, as well as hard an narrow tipped brushes were taken into the car, Bismillah was recited an the bottom half of both front seats were liberally sprayed an then brushed on, spots were cleaned with bursts of hard brush fire while general scrubbing was done with heavy bursts of soft brush fire.......................................aab subah hi pata chalay gaa kiya bana......dua karna meray aziz hamwatno......yeh jang safai ki hai, commander usman over an out!

[margallar]

^ roger that. gud luck.

[Elien]

there is no intake oil available in Pakistan JZ also suggest to just put pressurized air available at car wash shop or Blower , blower is not good for these type of intakes...
