The problem with white cars

Nope not tuas. But white confirm harder to maintain.

yah, white car super hard to maintain.. previous ride is black.. i find white more jia lat.. anyway i parked 3 mths under open carpark but dun have such stains in the pic leh.. i clean thoroughly every week.. n whenever free will check n remove any stains etc.. after 3 months cannot tahan, changed to mscp.. which is very good.. only some dust tats all.. car very clean for those going to get white.. think again if u going to park under open carpark..

his car got so all this is due to his working place, construction site, sure a lot of dust. when rain the dust all flow down and sun dry it, so become like this,

One thing to take note, though it is good to wipe dry your car after going into the rain. Becareful the lower parts especially if there are possible tiny stones. Use some plain water to spash the lower part before you wipe dry.

well, there is a saying ,"white car is a choice for people who see themselves got alot of free time." unless you got alot of free time, well , it is a matter of time this white will turn yellowish in time to come. Thus, think well before commit white again.

2nd that also though i got a white myself. Previous car was metallic blue with the sparkle like metal bronze. Much easier to maintain definitely.

So it's buy one car 3 colours.

But trust me on the feather duster if you are at MSCP.
It goes a long way.

But white.. is still very nice..
Ask you all.. if you have a chance to choose another color for forte once again, which color will you choose?

Tits or Metal bronze or Red. In that order. Tits and MB easier to clean.

Really..... hmm....
i asked my husband earlier.. and he said.. he will choose black..
Or white.. I guess we shd choose the colors we like and feel good about....

Of cos.. personal preference.

But still white still appeals in looks for me personally. But end of the day, i am lazy

Actually do you know that in Korea.. Most of them own either white or black color fortes...

Mayb their country cleaner.. ahhaa..

I also just cleared some brown scratch marks at my rear bumper with wax yest. Seeing 超级白 is really good.

One thing i have to ask is i feel my car somehow looks alittle bit of creamer than pure white white like the avante's white. Anyone also think so?

Yup... parked beside a white avante before, somewhat i think forte white is a bit of creamy white.. a bit different kind of white..

Wax it every 2-3 mths religiously... i think thats what i am planning to do... but pay someone to do it la...

I dun dare to let the ah neh wash. Still contemplating to use ah neh service. But meanwhile since car still new, wash myself and wax good exercise also since i need it

For wax I using soft99, it is not a strong wax. Rub on stains won't come out unless I use my nails. Autoglym looks good, joepele using it.

new car less then 6 months, wash every day...

after 1 month wash every other day....

after three months, wash on weekends.....

after six months, wash every two weeks.... aiyah, so tiring, send to car wash

after one year, wash as and when feels like it.....

My dad gave me one liquid wax with teflon very good i feel. But pretty ex according to him. I go find the brand. I should be buying that next after turtle finishes in a year or so.

Remember to check your petrol side after pumping. Today pump and the uncle dripped petrol again. Heng on the spot i check else kenna again.

longbow wrote:pps... i will consider when my bodykit comes

lol, at this rate the BK will be of different tone with the body colour...

i think this 2 tone thingy cannot run one, can only hope it will even out after a while

Actually do your PPS first. When ur BK come ask them to touch up for you. Let them know that you have a BK but still waiting then they shld touch up free for BK for you.

Autoglym is a good all rounder....

1. Remove and clean off Bird poo
2. The black stain as mentioned in this thread
3. believe it or not... for cleaning windows with oil marks / stains.
4. light paint scratches, not deep scratches

where to buy this autoglym?

autobacs, ntuc and almost all stores / petrol station as long have car accessories...

I think I may wanna ask Autoglym to endorse me.

To wipe the water after rain. Nothing can beat this:



Meguiar's Water Magnet - Microfiber Drying Towel.

Got at Asia AutoSalon 2009 at 20 bucks, usual price should be around 26 bucks.

I have a better recommendation...

cheap and good...



Diaper cloth...

Soft, cheap...

If it's good enough for a baby's butt... it's good enough for your car.



Last I know.... this retails for about $1 - $1.50 each.

u sibei heng.
I wash sure rain that same day.... So far 3 washes all same day rain but then again recently everyday rain. Hard to miss.

Today while washing, i realised our Bumper and body colour may differ slightly. Might be due to wear and tear and though exposed to same conditions, the material difference might cause the slight difference in colour. Anyone see a diff between the 2 parts' colour?
