[ahmad_yar]

ill talk to my teacher, if he is cool with letting more people come ill inform u

bhai jan tks for the offer but main already naklaan mar ke pass ho chuka hoon Alhamdullila :P;)

[margallar]

id say try the small bottle first, you are used to high end stuff like meguiars products and might not be satisfied

Picked it up as a last minute impulse purchase (as I already had a 500 ml bottle at home) from Dubai at 22AED (around PKR 500 @23 rs to an AED) and it came with a complimentary MF for windows/glass

Ahmed bhai...as usman says...I am an asspert

Sir Armor All...may have a little de-waxing property...because it cleans like hell...I used it again after quite sometime (infact first time after getting GC shampoo) and the difference was mind boggling...car gets a very clean and crisp feel after it...not even a single spec of dirt on the car after rinse...where as due to mildness GC does leave dirt behind. Beading was excellent after shampoo so it doesn't take off your coat completely...but just enough to bring its shine back with a bang...

This was my observation...sometimes going back to the basics really works...Verdict...will be getting more of this stuff...

[margallar]

just what i had felt, but i was a little hesitant about suggesting it since i havent used gc shampoo

[Mistero]

the more I am thinking about it the more it's making sense...I would recommend it to anyone, who is into regular detailing...you know if not weekly then once in two weeks...milder shampoos are good when you are planning to stretch your coats for a longer period of time or you are in a geographical area where the coat will actually deliver the endurance time the brand has promised because then you do not want your coat to be dewaxed mid way in between....you just want dust to be moved off and the coat revitalized...aur apas kee baat hai...where the coats will pull off a couple of months, there the dust will also be minimal and thus milder shampoos like GC will also not leave behind any dust residue...

But I personally, would like my car to wear its previous coat off every two weeks, as I do have a problem of topping up the car with layer over layer over older layers and this eventually results in wax swirls and heavy smudging...

im not mistero but i couldnt help it, i wanted to suggest using a claybar to do the dewaxing. the smoothness after that makes you want to pat the car all day or turtle liquid clay is also a good option

btw armorall shanpoo small bottle is available @ metro thokar

omar bhai said very well, what i am doing for de-waxing is as said earlier direct shampoo application on washing mitt ( twice applications ) and in case just to clean / wash car and to keep earlier wax layers on srface than 2 bucket method

yes claybar is in my wish list for next month shopping for using once a year or max twice a year , here is pic which i got from meguiars hong kong web site, price mentioning hk$ 298 but clay bar i cant use monthly basis

for monthly de-waxing need something else

[margallar]

maybe turtle ice liquid clay ,its not that agressive but its enough to dewax completely

[ahmad_yar]

maybe turtle ice liquid clay its not that agressive

whats its price ? and do turtle have solid clay bar? whats its price ?

[margallar]

i got the entire turtle ice clay kit last year through vague one, it contained liquid clay, claybar and clay bar lubricant it was around 22-2400 i think, dont remember the exact figure

i think liquid clay is available separately and price is below 1k

Ahmed bhai...this is a pic of my first ever detailing shopping on my first day on this thread...you can see it has a Big Orange bottle in it...

As Margallar pointed out...De-waxing properly will be done through Clay...unless Usman can point out a product which will eliminate all wax layers without cutting the paint.

I use big Orange to just clean the surface after the rinse to make it ready for waxing if I am not applying a surface prep product before waxing...It is a good APC and cleans the paint well (do read instructions on back) but I really do not know if it dewaxes or not. I had bought it for taking out the odd bird droppings (wasn't aware of detailers back then) and then kept it in the regime to get myself used to an added stage before waxing.

I specially use it when I feel that even a two stage wash hasn't worked properly and has left behind dirt.

For the record, this time when I did Armor All...I did not require it (infact now that I remember, in my mid week washes with armor all...I have never used this) and I had gone straight to that detailer...

Again, my guess, is that both these products (BO and AA) might be eating a bit into your last coat...but not completely de-waxing your car...
