Hi,
Is there a proper way to wash the MF's? Tried washing thru detergent soap then dry. After using for a second time meron siyang parang mga pulbos naiwan I think galing dun sa wax. How do we get rid of this?
Thanks - BS
Try using perla soap, kuskusin ninyo mabuti para alang matirang dumi or excess wax sa MF...then let it dry (NOT under the sun)
OT: ASAAN NA YUN 2 TOMADOR na nagyayaya ano tuloy ba sa saturday...don't worry di ko kayo pag-dedegrimin....ako na bahala dun...watch ninyo na lang ako habang enom....letson ulo pwede na bang pulutan yun???![]()
Just to share:
My 476S is not beading again. Maybe it's because puno na ng clinged dirt yung paint :rofl:. 1 week na rin akong di nakakapag-wash, puro ONR cleaning QD lang hehe. Hopefully pagka-wash ko meron pa rin beading. Baka meron lang talagang dirt na dapat gamitan na ng shampoo para matanggal. Or hindi lahat kaya nung cleaning QD. Or baka mali pag gamit ko hehe.
Pics of my car... fleetwax vs 476s... PLease note that the hood, where the fleetwax is is exposed in direct sunlight when i was taking pics, the rest of the car isn't. This is one of the reasons the hood may seem shinier...
But for me... i like both equally... i guess tignan ko na lang as to which one lasts longer...
My hood c/o master edwin's fleet wax and OGE
The rest of my car on 476s and OGE (i need to buy a duster)
to be continued...
Guys need your help.
Yun dating timba/bucket na gamit ko for personal car wash nasira.
Im planning to buy yun parang timba na gamit ni big berts, yun medyo malaki. Pero wala ako mahanap nyun.
Do you know any place where I can get these? And kung alam niyo sana un price. Thanks!

The heat of the sun in our country is really really hot and i find it that if left to bake in the sun it actually stiffens a little so its better to let it dry in the shade, we did a test before and used a brand new MF towel and placed in under the sun for one whole day and when we got it back it was courser than it was brand new, so if you want your MF's to look and feel like they're new, first wash it properly with a strong enough detergent to do the job, i know that the instructions read that you only need to use mild detergents for washing MF's but when you use a collinite, how do you expect to remove a wax thats detergent proof? so thats why i first use a degreaser, or i scrub it thoroughly, and then once its clean, i then soak it for a few minutes in water and perla and then rinse before i let it air dry in the shade, the results? i heard some guys was surprised to see our MF towels still soft after more than 1 year of usage. but one odd thing is that for those really stubborn stains, i use warm water and it doesn't do anything to degrade the fibers it even helps to remove wax and polish residues.
Thanks for the reply Madkatz
At this point, I'm considering on having my ride clayed for the 1st time, but I don't have the capacity to do a complete detailing work, since I don't have a DA polisher/machine and time is a factor as well.
Need further advice regarding what to do at this point?
1. Wash with Dawn or some other detergent
2. Clay bar
3. Polish with either Mother's or Meguiars, to remove light swirl marks
4. Seal with FX Synwax
5. Top off with Turtle Wax Platinum Ultra Gloss
Now that I've enumerated that, can I clay bar just I portion, then polish, then do the rest of the regimen...then say do the other portions the week after? And hand polishing again...hence the per panel work being done.
Again, my ride is parked in the open...under the elements almost 24/7...black painted Adventure.
TIA

Wait, please do enlighten me on this. I've read on several online posts that using detergent soap can leave minute particles on the fibers that can cause paint marring later on. So right now, I'm using diluted liquid soap and warm water to clean my towels. So, would this degreaser + perla combination produce better results?
