My process for a White Car with decent condition paint...

@ The local Spray'n'Pay
1min High Pressure Rinse to remove solid chunks.
1min run around with the Tyre, Wheel & Engine cleaner to break down the oils and crap (It's not overly strong at my local place, so doesn't kill the wax etc)

1min High Pressure Rinse
3min to go over the car with a microfiber cloth

1min High Pressure Rinse

Move it to one of the detailing bays and dry it off with a different microfiber cloth

I do this maybe once a fortnight on my way home from work...

If I'm feeling keen and its a weekend, I'll then take it home, give it another quick wipe down with a clean cloth and then give it a quick coat of wax on wax off, Mr Miagi style.

I don't have full days free every month to do constant detailing on it :P

Y U no wash at home?

When I do a touch up wash at the car wash, it goes:

- High pressure soap to cover the entire car and leave to soak for a minute

- High pressure soap holding gun 30cm from car and running it over each panel, takes bout two minutes

- High pressure rinse off and low pressure / clean water rinse if time left

This leaves car spotless from a metre away!

Everyone who washes their car regularly should at least wax; makes it so much easier to wax and dirt scratches car less.

Plus who doesn't love a good wax on the bonnet and then driving in the rain and seeing the rain drops actually bounce up 10cm off the car after they hit it :)

a well waxed car you wont even need high pressure or waterless wash crap

hell I just clean my car with a spray bottle of light detergant and a chamois most of the time..takes about 10 minutes

no... someone in a green car touched the mrs... will need to use

fyp....

seriously though...clay probably wont fix that....but i can ;)

It could do with a decent detail actually... A few of the panels need some correction :/ and the front bar needs a fiberglass repair / respray first though.

Then it'll be much nicererer.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
