grabe talaga ang cost nyan dito.

anyway, try to get some layers ng SG muna before you decide to top off with a carnauba. kasi, if you do, no more layers of SG after.

i've seen lots of eagle one carnauba wax cleaner at ace hardware.. ok ba ito? anong good combi na pang polish nito if ever? Do i need a sealant pa na wax or the cleaner wax itself would do.

Hi! Need help!

Can a proper car wash be done with just a pail and tabo?

We live in a place where there's little to no water pressure, the water just pretty much trickles out of the hose, so we have no choice but to make use on a pail and tabo when washing our cars.

Is there any way that we can still wash our cars properly given these conditions, or will we have to resort to always bringing our car to car washes?

The thing is, we can buy all the proper auto care products, but we can't do anything about our water situation =s

looking forward to your advice! thanks!

any cheap tire dressing that you would recommend?

i notice the gurus aren't suggesting tire black. whats the advantage of other detailing tire dressing that normally comes in spray containers? what are the pros and cons?

EO Tire dressing spray costs 500+, that's a bit expensive =)

how about armor-all tire foam? it costs in the same range as tire black (200).

thanks.

Im no guru but armor all tire foam for me is okay. Easy to apply and gives a nice shine that last for 3-5 days.

yung EO Wet Tire Shine... Sulit na sulit!!! kahit 500+ sya sulit talaga. the black shine will last you over 1 week vs 2-3 days during rainy season for tire blacks.

archerwin, thanks. i'll keep EO Wet Tire Shine as one of my options.

Another question, what do you use to polish minor/light swirls from chrome bumper (Pajero)?

dont use those cheapo tire blacks.. laki potential nyan for tire sling.. kakapit sa surface ng ride nyo.

yung tire foam naman hindi ko sa tires ginagamit. more sa engine bay. hehehe. noticed kasi that it tends to brown the tires after a while.

Megs Hi-Endurance and EO ang umiikot sa kin ngayon.

How do you apply the tire foam sa engine bay sir? Do you use a brush or something? I will just use my armour all foam for that purpose. hehe.

dehadista, what if you apply tire black quite thinly?

what other cons does tire black have?
