bro, i interested.... but mine did tefelon coat 3mths ago... not sure if its good idea..

To use the claybar, the step is:
1. Use dish-washing liquid (yes, i did not type wrongly. Use ma-ma lemon) to strip off all wax, sealant and polish, off ur car.
2. hose off until ur car is clear of dish-washing liquid.
3. wipe clean.
4. start the polishing, sealant and wax procedure.

Which is why in my 1st post, i stated once claybar-ed, u need to polish n seal cos since previous wax is removed, ur car is very "bare-naked".

Why dish-washing liquid to wash car???? Dish-washing is the most effective remover of wax, sealant and polish. Alternatives will be our hair shampoo and body foam. However, dish-washing detergent is the cheapest and most effective... hence the choice.

To prove this point, try this: after every round of waxing or sealing or polishing, try soaking ur dirty cloth with dish washing liquid. u will see all the wax stucked on ur cloth removed after a while. Dish-washing liquid is the number one enemy of wax.

If one car is willing to be a demo-car, i dun mind help doing up his car (of cos i need plenty of help oso lah...). Dun worry, i'm not those "how siao" guy "who dunno then try to act noe" kind..... will guarantee u ur car will nvr feel the same once u finish the complete process of wash-clarbar-polish-seal-wax.

i have done mine up til sealant and is satisfied but still lack this wax process to add to my satisfaction.

again, i'm sharing my knowledge of DIY grooming as i have done far too many trials and errors on my car (previous and current ride) and all the above are to the best of my knowledge. I have also used many brands of polish and sealant. If u guys need to know more, i'm more than happy to share share....... :o :o i nvr trust my car in the hands of outside groomers... call me a scrooge, a miser... but no other groomers except myself for my ride...... :o

so far only 3 guys are keen. If response is still lukewarm then will be cancelled.

dun be rash bro.....

2 of the bottles costs 25USD. Freight costs ard 20USD. total 45USD equates to 74SGD.
the listed shipping cost on the website is for within USA only. Any postage outside USA depends on where the place is....

Spore is USD20. anyway, my fren has ex-stock for the items. microfibre cloth oso has stock. can ask him to deal with u guys direct, he's not out to make a profit, so dun worry....

regardless this w&w session will take place or not,

me fren still has 8 sets of MASTER FORMULA polish and seal. so far 2 sets have been taken by bros here.

pls refer to this thread for real pics of the polish effect on my car and my fren's car. alternatively, the offficial website for master formula: [Master Formula] is here.

he is selling one set for S$65.

cost of importing urself = USD12.50 + USD12.50 + USD20 + credit card ex.rate of 1.689 = SGD76.

THe microfibre cloth is SGD4. Works superbly with any polish or wax and will not scratch ur car. Shld be one of the cheapest MCF u can find now in the market. I tink this is one of the good buy. regardless u buy the polish or not, the cloth is for sale.

MCF cloth can oso be used to wash ur car. I swear by this cloth cos mine is a black ride and scratches easily if the wrong cloth is used.

Interested parties, can pm me or those who noes my hp no., can sms or call me, i will try to get back to u guys ASAP.
