mga paps,

i've a question regarding asphalt removal..

diba kerosene ang ginagamit dito? ilan part ba ng kerosene and water ang mixture?
saka is it safe to use this like once a month? or every quarter?

dati kasi nagpa-asphalt remove pero buong body ng kotse ang nilagyan..


ok naman ang resulta kumintab siya...ang worry ko lang eh baka nakaka nipis
ng pintura...

kaya i'm wondering if as ok kung yung lower part na lang ng kotse ang applayan..

any input guys.

Sabi ni maam Madkatz pwede naman mag kerosene ng car. Pwedeng 1/3 kerosene tapos 2/3 water. Basta wash mo agad with car shampoo after mo mag asphalt removal.

I think once a month is fine po..

Dropped by blade today, unfortunately wala silang stock ng Microtex Elite. Luckily I passed by Ace Hardware and found plenty of stocks worth php899/piece. Hope this works well for me

For most detailers here yes they use kerosene, i only know one detailer that really uses body solvents instead of kerosene and thats actually our mentor and he's an american, but even we use kerosene because its really cheaper and it does a nice job.

As for how we use it, we don't dilute the kerosene with water, we just wash the whole car and then once done, we just spray kerosene directly onto the paint and let it sit for a good 3 to 5 minutes, spray again and remove it with a dedicated MF cloth or Terry towel.

Its quite safe to use every month although i don't think its neccessary, quarterly however is a good practice, and it is safe as long as you totally remove the kerosene, once we've removed all visible asphalts we wash the whole vehicle again and we use our fingers to test for any kerosene residue by looking for a squeeking sound, we sometimes also use a biodegreaser to help remove the kerosene making the washing process a lot easier. and don't forget to follow it up with a coating of wax

its ok if they spray kerosene on the whole car just as long as they thoroughly wash the whole car and don't leave any residue behind.

as far as i know it won't thin your clear coat, and we've used this for hundreds of car already and its pretty much safe except for one instance when our friend left his car soaked in kerosene and ran out to fetch his kids on sunday school and totally forgot about it, he remembered it when he came back at night thinking why his car was blurry and he washed the car down again to see that the paint sort of blurred a bit, but we just used a cleaner wax machine applied and the blur was gone so its really nothing serious.

its ok if the asphalt affected parts are only the lower part of the car, but there are some instance that it reaches even up to the windows

You might also want to try "Bosny Car Cream", I use it myself..P100+ ang isang tub (about 9oz size)...it smells like kerosene but is probably formulated to be gentle on paint...Kulay black ang container niya na yellow ang pagkakasulat ng "Bosny"

ok noted, i'll try to look for that and give it a shot thanks for that

thanks ma'am... kaya lang medyo takot ako na purong kerosene gamitin like baka may kerosene residue akong di matanggal...is it ok lang ba na to dillute it with 50/50 with water?

you mentioned po yung biodegreaser, what brand po would you recommend? and how to use it?

yung sa cleaner wax naman madam, may maliit pa ako nito after applying po ba neto eh pwede na agad sundan ng sealant? ilan oras ang waiting time bago patungan ng sealant...

thanks again madkatz...

well its pretty safe actually if you use it pure, just make sure you pass every part of your car with a washmitt with shampoo and your good to go, well to be honest there's no point in mixing water and kerosene since they actually don't mix hehe it may appear at time that they might mix at some point when you shake it but they really don't so even if you mix water what happens is you still put pure kerosene on the paint so its just a waste of effort, don't think too much about kerosene affecting the paint just concentrate on how you wash your car and all will be fine, try to attend this sunday if all goes well and see how they do it

the biodegreaser we use isn't readily sold in the market yet, but there are better ones out there, one of the famous things we use is simple green orange, just dilute the solution to 1part solution 4 part water and spray on to the kerosened area, leave it to soak a bit before you wash you car, this basically just removes the majority of the kerosene on the paint making washing a lot easier

as for the cleaner wax, once you wipe it really clean and once you're done you can already start applying your sealant, there is no waiting time for that, but if you want to layer your sealants then you would need to wait 24 hours to layer your new layer of sealant with the previous one and thats what we call curing time
