Maganda rin ang 3M. Yung 3M wax mano mano lang ang buffing nun. Ang ginagamitan ng buffing machine e yung machine glaze ng 3M kasi mahirap tanggalin yun kung mano mano lang. Kung "healthy" ang paint, mano mano lang pwede na.

Actually di pa ako nakatry ng Meg's wax. Meg's polish ang gamit ko tsaka Mother's wax. Maraming variant yung mother's. Iba-ibang brand iba-iba din ang klase ng shine. In my experience, TW carnauba gives me durability -- umaabot ng one month may beading pa rin (but not as shiny as other brands). Mother's gives me a glossy shine (but less mirror-like shine). 3M wax gives me both moderate glossy and mirror-like shine. TW ICE gives me moderate gloss but impressive mirror like shine lalo na pag ginamitan ng TW ICE liwuid clay. Yung TW platinum liquid wax makintab din.

So you really have to experiment on which wax will suit your taste is shine. It will also really depend on your rides. Different car manufacturers use different brands of paints so your Revo's shine might differ on other ride's shine on certain waxes.

Best for me in terms of shine IMO is Turtle Wax ICE and Mother's. Best in terms of durability is Turtle Wax Carnauba.

But in essence, POLISH makes the shine and WAX seals that shine.

thanks picard sa info. ok talaga forum na ito marami ako natutunan dito sarap magbasa ng mga forum. So, next na DIY ko tsikot ko polish ko muna then wax.

i got these PLUSH MF towel for 100 petot, size of a bath towel




here's a shot of a microtex plush over my new MF towel



il just use this for drying purposes only, its not almost the same like the plush of microtex but it is a real MF towel and it is definitely big and cheap

sir saan nyo nabili yang MF towel..? i'm also looking for cheap MF towels for drying my car. those from microtex are a bit too expensive for me kasi...thanks...

[nat2x]

Try applying armor all

Try applying armor all

sige sir try ko., pwede kaya yun pang tire black? hindi ba harmful yun tire black sa ganun? i heard kase may mga chemical for rubber treatment kaso nung nagtanong ako sa mga auto supply wala sila alam na rubber treatment.

[Picard]

Wag tire black. May mga tire black na nakakapagpalutong ng rubber lalo na pag nainitan. Just use armor all. I personally use armor all kahit sa mga gulong ko.

anyone here knows where one can buy those bath towel-sized MF cloths..? for drying purposes lang...the microtex at 899Php is a bit too expensive for me kasi.

thanks

thanks

try mo sa mga japan shops sa mga mall, yun mga 88php, nakabili ako ng 3 pcs na MF dun, not as good as 3m or microtex pero ayus for drying purpose, kahit sa interior ko at mga gadgets ko yun gamit ko for cleaning,.

i have problems regarding water spots. kahit ano gamit ko, hindi maalis yung mga spots! sa salamin, sunroof, sa hood! yung hood pa naman ang pinakagusto ko sa lahat ng part na dapat spotless. paano ba maalis eto? also some minor scratches, may maganda bang pang tanggal dito?

[Picard]

You may use rain-away or rainx glass treatment sa salamin. Yung sa body naman, kung ayaw talaga matanggal, use 3M scratch remover or better yet, clay your car.

sir yan din ba yun ginagamit sa mga detailing shops? kailangan pa bang gamitan ng buff machine or pwedeng simpleng punas lang?

[Picard]

Guys naiwan ko na bukas yung container ng dupont paste wax (cera de carnauba) ko this morning after my wax session. Actually naipatong ko lang yung cover pero I forgot to seal it tight. Just found out this afternoon. hindi kaya nasira yung wax? Do I need to throw it away already? Medyo oily pa naman siiya and buttery....grrr kabibili ko lang nun...sayang naman kung hindi na pwede.

Follow up q's lang:

1. Can I use this as often as I want (planning 2x a month)?
2. Do carnauba paste waxes have expiration dates?

TIA

[ess]

I think your paste wax should be fine. If ever natuyo yon, malamang nagtutong lang yung top layer. Pero I doubt.

1. It should be safe to use as often as you like.
2. I don't know if paste waxes have expiration dates. But I do have a 1/4 full can of Soft99 carnauba paste wax which is already 3 years old. I got that from Concorde...sigurado old stock na yon... so I reckon at least 5-6 years old na! Heheheh... the wax is still okay. If ever may expiry period yan, you'd probably used up all the wax before it happens.
