How do you maintain your white car?

[Lmws214]

maintain it regularly like every six months to groom the ride?

thanks!

 

 

It’s really difficult to maintain a White car esp self maintain n hence I think the only advice I can give is to get a good groomer to maintain it regularly. Some car paintwork are not very good like Honda n that means that u will need to perhaps do paint protection as well. Conti cars in general have better paintwork n this helps of course.

Anyone can recommend a DIY car shampoo (wash or wash with wax) that anyone can recommend to maintain the gloss or shine of white cars please?

i use Durogloss 501 for my white ride. 

After collected car, DIY myself for first few months.

Now every 6 months i would use it...

I use ONR to wash my white car at least once a week and alternate week top it off with Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer. And apply Optimum car wax once every 2-3 mths. It helps to maintain my car shine for my 6 mths old ride.

honestly white car or other colors depend on the weather and the state of asphalt in the place you live in, I live in Saudi Arabia and here car can get dirty in a week and the asphalt isn't very good and for that reason you need to wash the car a lot and be careful of rock chips hitting the car at speed. if you live in a good weather area don't worry about your car, just wash it every 2 weeks or whenever you start spotting dirt. and send it for grooming every once in a while hope this helped.

nowadays with environmental friendly paintwork, the paints are softer than usual. So alot of pitted marks on the front bonnet and bumper.

 

I use a paint marker . On day one looks matching. one week later will be a tad yellow.

Interesting & apt thread. Here to learn form other white car owners too.

Haven't washed mine since collection 4 mths ago, except for once, done by workshop after first servicing.

Only doing spot removal of bird shit.

I have a white car. I wash once a week or every two weeks. Have not sent for grooming but plan to do so (got the car 8 months ago).

 

For scratches I used liquid paper. Colour does not match fully but not so bad. Hopefully after polishing will look better. And for places like car door handle and bowl I had it wrapped with vinyl wrap so scratches won't show there.

Not keen on washing car as from 9 years ago had a bout of Transient Global Amnesia after washing car.

 

So my white car is very dusty even though parked in MSCP.

 

Last wash was by KIA nearly 3 months ago.

 

Easy to find car in car park especially when parked next to sparkling Singapore cars.

 

Did you get a check up done?

 

Can't be the act of washing the car right?

I have been owning white cars mostly. 2 things can help you:

 

1. Proper PPS (Ceramic types) and its maintenance once in a year

2. Wash at least once a week

i will prefer PPF (paint protection films) for maintenance free, although it maybe a little costly.

As far as i know my master D for DG made maintenace products for Xpel film which mean PPF still need some simple maintanance..Guess UV is the main culprit to all this stuff..

I use to have a white car and it was a pain. Did a lot of maintenance washes, but it can cost a lot!!! Triyng to find a water less solution that works well..
