*madkatz thanks. my purpose is something to apply after i have cleaned the car, somewhat of a protection maybe? i'm looking for spray waxes in particular because the car(grandis) is big, so i'm looking for something that is easy to apply. and are spray waxes safe for the paint even if i apply it like weekly?

re: Moms Reflections Spray, thanks, i'll check on that product too.

Salamat jon and madkatz

Sa mga nabasa ko sa autogeek and autopia yung collonite ipapabili ko. Tapos ang paint cleaner gagamitin klasse aio.

Lagi ba klasse aio ang gamit nyo preparation or meron pa iba?

About sa stoner hindi ba makakasira ng tint yan pag sa loob ng windshield gagamtin?

Great choices.

Aside from Klasse AIO, you also have other cleaner waxes from Mothers and Meguiars, as well as the Optimum Poliseal and Poorboy's Polish with Sealant or Poorboy's Polish with Carnauba, among many others.

With regard to the Stoner's Invisible Glass, I think it's safe to use for tinted glass. The website states that it is "SAFE to use on original equipment manufactured (OEM) and most after-market TINTED windows when used as directed. Always test on non-glass surfaces before using. Not recommended for use on polycarbonate plastic."

Hope this helps.

Salamat jonjon

Isa pa tanong. Kasi nabasa ko pag polish matapang na ata. Yung gusto level yung pang klasse aio lang. Ano jan yung pinakamildest na cleaner?

Sa mga nabasa ko about collonite ginaganahan tuloy ako mag-wax.

Kagabi sumakit ulo ko kakabasa sa autopia at autogeek. Puro collonite ang pinupuri.

Oo nga pala pag car shampoo ano gamit nyo na locally lang available?

*albino: spray waxes do offer protection but its nowhere near a real wax IMO, but if you are going to put it lets say weekly after your weekly wash then it might provide enough protection for our weather nowadays since its a lot milder. And if its protection you're after i would recommend you get the Ultimate Quik Wax it offers better protection compared to Mothers Reflection Spray wax, i've read in the meguiars forum that one method of applying it and making it last longer was to spray some liberally to ensure adequate coverage and then spread it a little with a damp applicator pad ( not buff it off ) and leave it for about 30 minutes before finally buffing it off.

It still wont be as durable as a real wax but of all the spray waxes locally available that i've tried this one lasts the longest, if you could get your hands on some Optimum Polymer Car Wax that would be great, its just like using a QD but it lasts as long as a regular car wax.

Hope this helps

*water: the closest i can think of would be Moms Carnauba Cleaner Wax, As for the shampoo, for the nice cars i use NXT, polyglaze and California Gold, As for the daily drives i use BB shampoo or microtex

Hi ulit

May mga carwash shop ba dito pinas na collonite ang gamit pang-wax?

Gusto ko ipa-wax kotse habang inaantay ko yung collonite na pinabili ko.

Salamat

*water: BB has collinite products but they charge extra for it and as far as i know, i might be mistaken, the only collinite they use is 845 which is the liquid version of 476 but 845 lasts a little less than 476 but still durable compared to other waxes

Not necessarily. The products I mentioned are mild in the sense that they do not function as compounds, so you don't have to worry too much on removing too much paint. If you want a product similar to Klasse All in One, then you could use the Carlack68 Nano Systematic Care.

Oo nga pala pag car shampoo ano gamit nyo na locally lang available?

Meguiar's
Mothers
Turtle Wax (Platinum)
Eagle One
Adam's

Hope this helps.

Did some very simple detail on the back license plate holder (hehe tama ba ang term)

Vios just turned 2 years old last Dec.21 and it's the first time I cleaned this area..

[SIZE=4]Before:[/SIZE] (Just look at the watermarks on that thing..The rust came from the nut I think..)



[SIZE=4]After:[SIZE=2]




It didn't produce a flawless finish on the bottom part though (look closely at 3rd pic), the bottom part has marks, maybe scratches from the license plate itself..

Gonna try this again
