Dude it's wax lol. Tap it??? lmfao hahaha if you don't wash it it'll just mottle up later on, mannnnn big brands giving the wrong info. You HAVE to wash it. Soapy water I think is best, but I'm just popping my two pads in with my terry cloth towels with a little washing power in the washing machine. They're fine man. No problems. This might be bad though lol, so ask Chompies or Silva. I could be an idiot and not know it lol

Yeah, it's good to wash your tools after each use. If you don't wash them then they will collect a tonne of junk and just imagine what that will do to your paint!

What I do is wash all my products (microfibre separately) with dishwashing detergent (high alkaline) in warm water, then rinse with a vinegar/water mixture to soften and disolve any detergent/minerals still in the water.

All I can say is "WOW".....and there was a reason why I've gave up Chemistry in High School....

So can I just use Liquid Soap and Water and rinse?

The pad that apply the "polish" & "wax" are wet and dirty, I did wash that.....

But how about the pad that I use to buff it off? it is only dusty with "wax dust" after use...Should I wash that too?

??? I don't think you're supposed to use a pad to buff it off man. You use a terrycloth towel or cotten towel folded into quarters. You 'buff' off, then when it appears 'patchy' and mottled you turn it over to the clean side for a final wipe over. Let us ask the Emperor again.

Use a microfibre to take the wax off.. much easier..

if you've done it correctly a clean micrfibre towel should just slide off your bonnet when you drop it on

Yeah you are right Rob, use a cloth (preferably microfibre) to buff off your wax. As Motorman said, microfibre will pick up your wax and absorb it much easier than a cotton towel.

I wash everything after use, because your buffing towel will be full of dried wax and will not be able to absorb as much wax the next time you use it. You should be able to safely use dishwashing liquid in your washing machine, I have done it many times.

I wahs all my cloths in the washing machine using nappy san. It gets all the grime out of the fibre nicely. But remember do not use fabric softener as micro fibre cloths don't like it at all. It makes the cloth fibres go harder for some reason and therefore would scratch your paintwork. I did this on an old cloth i had to see what happens.

As for polish pads i wash them first with a caustic acid cleaner to break down the polish/wax. I do this by hand then put them in the washing machine and wash them with nappy san as well. (no fabric softener).

Remember when polishing the key to a good finish is applying evenly and when buffing off turn the polish cloth regularly other wise the cloth will get dirty in one spot and you will actually be rubbing polish/wax back onto the car.

      Does any one know if the trd sportivo suspension for the 2017 facelift corolla fielder fits the 2013 prefacelift version? Is the chassis the same? Thanks for the help.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Hi Guys, My Camry 2010 Touring just had a regas done on it and the next day for some reason it wasn't blowing cold air but the next day it is and now working with nice cold air BUT every now and then we can hear and feel a buzz for a few secounds and today while my sister took my car I could her like a mild knocking sound when stopped but goes away when driving off. Any idea what this could be and the A/C is always working now for now.
