Great video Thomas-ideal for a novice like me. Where can these products be purchased from?

Hey Thomas! How to do you stop the plastic wheel arches from losing its black colour, and turning greyish over time? Thanks for the content

lovely, well explained for each of the product. I guess we have this big problem which is the water mark thing. Gonna get 1 of these

Yeah water mark remover is important. Xpel's one is quite mild so It reduces the risk of it being too acidic and damage the paint. I've tried others which can be effective but the acidity have etched some of my plastic trims, rubber rims and also the paint. If the water mark is 6 months or a year old. then perhaps it needs more than watermark remover and may need a polish.

Water mark is definitely an issue due to our hot weather, every time we send our car for a wash, the car is so hot that the particles has expanded and the moment the water touches, it cools down and the particles shrink, so it captured the dirty water. Also the mineral in the water, those high end detailer most likely have filtered water system to minimize water mark.

Great video Thomas with explanation to car wash and detailing for dummies! Could you please comment on approximately how many washes the products can be used until they are finished?

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks for watching. Overall, they would last me 3-6 months depending how often I wash and depending on which product. i.e. I use my Iron Oxide Remover once every 2-3 wash because my rims are coated - so a normal shampoo would do most of the work and I'll decontaminate twice a month. So it lasts longer than say a detail spray. It also really depends are you spraying the product generously or just enough. Hope this helps!
