a silly question that i may add. i just curious if u wash your car like water hose
in it. do u think scoop on the evo ventilation can damage the engine. cause when
i wash it i see clear smoked and hisses noise coming from the tubo manifold? right
after long a drive. means should put cover under the scoop or is it safe?

 

you should wait un til the car cool down a little, but anyway, where do you think rain goes!!

 

yeah definately allow the car to cool down before you wash it

 

 

Do you really think that would have put the vent there and not know if it would damage anything?

 

It is just steam from the manifold. Let the beast cool down for a bit prior to washing.

 

What's the Best Wax to use??
I want my car to be shinny as hell. and best rain coat

 

Try zymol

Also....I agree do not wash your car right after you drove it.....it's a really dumb idea and can warp your brakes......let the car sit for at least 30 minutes and since we are in the NEWB forum let me suggest that you wash your car on an overcast day....

Everytime I see people washing their car when its hot and sunny it makes me laugh.....because the car will look dirty anyway due to the water drying so fast

 

Never wash your car in direct sunlight.

I wash my car only in the afternoon towards sundown.

It prevents water spots in that the water will not dry on your car while you wash it.

Also, regarding the hood scoop; I put a chamois underneath the hood scoop to collect any water.

Just make sure you remove it before driving.



To make your car shiny, it's not the wax but the polish you use prior to the wax.

I recommend this:

Just my 2 cents.

 

what kind of zymol do i have to use, I just searched from zymol site but than there are so many different kind of waxs


nvm I think I found it, I should use Cream zymol because mine is white.
and zymol waxs are soooo expansive.

 

i dont see any prob w/washing it in sunlight.. just towel dry afterwards to prevent spotting

By the way, it's not so much the product you use as it is the process. If you get the actual process down correctly, almost any product will look good on your car.

 

Right after you get out from a long drive, just put your hand on the manifold heatshield. You'll know if it's time to wash it, then. Also, ignore the hand with the X through it, it means nothing.

 

i almost always wash the car in direct sunlight because i have no choice. all i do is keep spraying the previous cleaned areas and pull into the garage and dry with a microfiber cloth. no spots! alot of people do look at me funny.

 

its like soothing hand lotion
