mga sirs...available pa ba yong Mother's Trigger Wash? wala yata ako napansin sa Hans. marami pa bang gumagamit nito? nabasa ko kasi sa kabilang thread, pati yong feedback ni sir theveed about and the review. mukhang ok since it cuts down yong time ng washing. any new feedback on this?

Boy Torotot: Medyo magastos yan. Get a pure car shampoo and dilute it in water -> Bigberts Citrus Shampoo, Eagle One Car Shampoo, Megs Car Shampoo.

thanks...i thought so too, though wala ako idea sa price. anyway, yup shampoo na lang muna ako.

follow-up question:
how do you really wash a vehicle? specifically dun na sa part ng pag-sha-shampoo ng sasakyan. marami ako nababasa wheels/tires muna, then from top-down, last yong hood. pag tapos na lahat ma-shampoo, then rinse na lahat, tapos drying na with mf towel. problem ko is suv ang hinuhugasan ko, by the time matapos ko shampoohin yong hood, tuyo na yong roof at side panel. pagkatapos ko punasan yong roof, tuyo na yong hood. kaya balak ko per panel na lang muna...shampoo then rinse, then mf towel dry na agad. kainis kasi..minsan nag-swi-swirl marks tuloy. pa-advise na lang po ng mga techniques nyo...

you can do it half-half muna or per panel.. whatever suits you. get a washmitt and a some quality car shampoo; not some combo shampoo-wax.

Thanks sir Dehadista...i'm using zymol shampoo for now, pero paubos na..then saka na ko bili ng Mother's California Gold Car wash. As to washmitts, balak ko pa bumili ng maganda-ganda sa concorde or sa megs. Gamit ko ngayon yong Arix...

boy torotot, maganda yung arnolds sheepskin wash mitt sa concorde. meron don malaking size of i believe 10inx10in...bagay sa laki ng suv mo sir.

makapit pala sa libag itong rainhop! napansin ko 'to when i cleaned the car thoroughly last night. i initially intended to just wash off the mud from the rains kasi medyo gabi na and pagod na fr the traffic. pero madami akong nakitang libag na kumapit sa surface na hindi ma-wash off ng plain hose down lang. pls note na i just applied rainhop nung sunday. so i shampooed pa, tapos spritz ng eo1wws during the final passes of drying. natanggal naman yung libag pero i was really itching i-moms step 1 yung kotse kasi pakiramdam ko parang meron pa.....kaso baka di na ako makapasok sa opisina sa puyat at sakit ng likod. hehe

i love the beading and protection rainhop gives so i still intend to use this wax habang tag-ulan....but i hate the libag it attracts sa puting kotse ko! is there a way i can remedy this "libag attraction?"
