Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

since this thread is for newbies, tatanong ko lang po kung ano yung wash mitt at ano po yung swirls

A wash mitt is a big glove with either wool or cotton/chenille nap. The purpose of the wash mitt is to be able to hold more water and car shampoo solution and allow you to was a larger surface area. The nap will also capture and trap dirt and prevent it from scrubbing on the paint surface of your car.

Swirls are very shallow BUT numerous scratches on your car's paint. If you park your car under the sun or if you aim a flashlight to your car, and you start seeing cobweb like patterns, swirls yon. Improper washing techniques often cause swirl marks. (Having your car washed by those pesky mall carwash boys is a sure fire way of getting swirlmarks. :D )

anong pwedeng pang tanggal sa grasa sa pintura? without compromising the paint

Try using your car shampoo first... maybe even try using it undiluted (pure) on the grease spots. If it works, make sure to immediately follow up with a full coat of car wax.
