To answer your question, I wash twice a week and wax every weekend.

I spent hundreds only to come back to turtle wax basic products from any petrol station.

Truth be told, washing and polishing regularly is better than using expensive cleaning products.

I used to use AutoGlym products but now I'm switched to Meguair's and never looked back. It is slightly more expensive but you get what you pay for.

Yes. And Meguairs put in the extra effort to make their products smell nice. I use the metal polish as perfume in my office as I have a colleague seated 2 rows away who has strong body odour on some days.

Yes merguiars smell nice.

Nice write up! And nice R6.

 

Well in the USA, Merguairs gold class shampoo is about $12 sgd.

In sg giant, its selling for $37.

I highly recommend using those manual pump sprayer. You can actually save alot of water too. I usually use less than half a pail of water to waste my bike.

Blue label might work better for your chain

I remembered seeing them at mustafa Center on the 4th floor @ the diy section a few months back.

Some Esso petrol station also got sell.

[w7_lee]

I bought mine at First Price... it's a neighbourhood shop

[kaiq]

I use cheap stuffs. Waxco wax + formula 1 carnuba wax.

 

Cheap stuffs won't last long, so every 3 weeks must wash and wax liao.

[Isopropyl]

water hose and hand soap from company:lol:

Pressure sprayers can be found at Homefix. A few of my family members are orchid nuts, we own 3 of these pressure sprayer made by Mesto. The 17L one I believe is almost 10 years old. But the 1L - 2L ones are perfect for the occasional rims cleaning.

 

I'm lucky like Isop, our MD is a car mechanic in his younger days, so he's built a small workshop which also come with a car cleaning bay.

Soap and water to wash and dry with clean cloth. So far looking good.

[azr123]

Turtle wax and polishing applicator.

[ahkao]

I use soft99 on my coversets. For chrome parts I will use merguairs metal polish. Rims I just use dish soap as it easier to wash off brake dust and chain lube
