car wax nag mansta..

[viepink]

guys please help me nman po, nag DIY po kasi ako ng car waxing. hindi maganda ung pagkaka wax ko. may ibang parts pala ng sasakyan na hindi pwedeng lagyan ng wax tulad nung mga plastic etc. may ibang parts pang hindi ko masyado natanggal ung wax dahil ginabi na ko, di ko napansin. so ang ending, parang nag mantsa sya. parang gasgas tuloy. pati dun sa mga area na plastic yata un.. dark green pa naman kulay ng car ko kaya kitang kita.

please help me nman po what to do.. ipa wax ko na lang kaya sya sa mga nagwa-wax talaga? pag nag wax po ba, anong dapat ipang punas after waxing? sayang naman kasi yung wax na nabili ko, turtle wax carnauba yung paste..

thanks in advance!

hay naku! nangyari na yan sa car ko, kakawax ni erpats ko, naubos ang topcoat, til napansin ko na humahawa na sa cloth ung paint,lalu na ung turtle wax. ang magagawa mo na lang jan, buy ka ng pinong rubbing compound, at pranela cloth, i-rub mo ng maliit na circle til mawala lang ung gasgas nya, then wipe mo ng konting gaas(it won't harm your paint) basta mild na punas lang. at kung gusto mong magwax, hanap ka ng 'carnauba' base na wax, tulad ng SIMONIZE, hindi hahawa ang paint mo. good luck.

easy on the rubbing compound, you'll end up doing more harm than good. it's quite tedious, but wax can be removed from plastic surfaces.

carnauba nga po yung binili kong turtle wax. mukhang ok nman kaso hindi lang siguro talaga ako marunong ng tamang pagwa-wax. Mr. Moe, pano po matatanggal yung stain sa mga plastic areas? yung rubbing compund po, pano gamitin? wala naman po bang masamang effect yung sa paint ko?

badtrip kasi after kong mag-wax biglang umulan. wala pa naman akong garahe kaya inis na inis ako! sayang lang pagod ko nun.. yun pa nga yata naging dahilan kung bakit parang nag-stain yung wax. mukha tuloy gasgas. kaasar!

so rubbing compound po para dun talaga sa stain ng wax? pwede rin po ba yun sa plastic?

thanks!

ang dapat gamitin mo sa mga black plastic trims ay mothers naturally black (back to black) sa states. ito definitely effective mag tanggal ng wax residue at babalik ang pag ka-itim ng trims mo

tsaka tama sila bro. ang rubbing compund last resort mo na kasi baka mas lalong masira paint mo. tingin ka sa detailing thread ng more than looks forum natin. daming tips dun

[moe]

use a good car shampoo to strip off excess wax. you may also try an all purpose cleaner to try to remove the wax from plastic trim. some gurus here believe peanut butter can do the job. dude, whatever happens, stay away from rubbing compound! that's one of the last options for you. bro baludoy is right, check out the detailing thread in the more than looks section.

what year model po yung car? rubbing lang po yan... wanna know a secret? car detailers use kerosene. yun lang po yun... wer u from? help ako...

hey, tama clang lahat, kelangan mejo alam mong magrub(pag parang gasgas ang paint mo, rubbing na talaga, pero i've tried ung kerosene(gaas) with water mix, shake mo ang before applying. same as wax kung iaapply, pag mejo dry na, wipe agad lightly ng pranela, ang kintab na nyan, try mo din sa trimmings ung gaas, d naman masyadong harmful sa rubber yan e.

ViePink: Excess wax can be easily removed in most cases especially if it's still relatively fresh. Try using a soft toothbrush and shampoo, lightly scrub the rubber/plastics that the wax has recessed into. If there are stains on body/paintworks, usually a stronger dose of shampoo will work, if not, proceed to petrol-based cleaners (but you'll have to wash and rewax again). Don't worry too much as long as you don't leave it unattended. Moe's advice is valid.

Your choice of wax isn't the culprit, but rather the application. Many people slap on too much wax, lets the wax stay on too long or fail to read the label that causes such problems.

rikibike: Your assumption of too much waxing led to thinning paint is wrong. Read the stickies here.

In addition, basic chemistry, petrol and water don't mix, doesn't matter how much you shake a kerosene and water mixture, the two will not mix and will not dilute.

Lastly, suggesting using a compound to remove wax stain is absolutely unnecessary, please refrain from giving erroneous advices.
