Let ah neh wash sure lots of swirl marks.

I don't see any problems in driving to the designated car wash area once  a week to wash yourself.

I just dip the whole cloth into the pail of water, and splash the whole cloth (which holds lots of water) onto the car.

The trick is to spread out the whole cloth. I am usually done in 10 to 15 min, incl wash rims & tyres with plain water. No shampoo used.

I won't say it is a very thorough wash but it clears all bird ******** and visible dirt on the car's surface.

Hi Bro, from my understanding thru quering with different cars (Both Nissan & Mazda).
Both offered me discount of S$500 if I book a white coloured model.
Seems like white is not so saleable as other colours.
Pearl while is different but is still white & hard to maintain the colour.

Pearl white is nice but difficult to maintain. I have 2 colleagues driving pearl white Nissan Sunny, both park at construction site during the day and both are yellowish now. The yellowish is also in a gradation, in the sense that it gets from light at the top to yellow at the bottom of the car! I think have to give it a hard polish to remove the oxidisation. That is the reason why I did not go for a Pearl white Latio! :D

Not so sure about Nissan, my previous car, Toyota Altis and my current car, Mazda 3, are both white and ok...my altis was coming to 3 yrs old when i change it and it is still white....whereas my mazda 3 is  now 1.5 years...still nice and whitey....
