Not familiar with the products you bought. Generally you want to prep the paint first (use clay bar and/or paint cleaner). Then polish it (using glaze or polish) then wax it (organic/carnauba or synthetic polymers).

From there maintenance and upkeep should be easy dahil malinis na siya. I did a claying and polishing of my friend's 190E recently, dami nakuha sa claybar, even if his car was already "clean looking" to start with. You'll soon realize which panels have more dirt embedded in the paint by claying it yourself. Usually the hood, roof and trunk have a lot, but that also depends on the use. If it gets parked all day at work, then you'll have a lot of dirt there. If it gets driven in the rain a lot, then the sidepanels will have a lot of claying needed.

Mga sirs and maams... newbie lng po seeking for advice.
Kc ung rear bumper ng kotse ko eh may lamat and kahit i-wax ko sya, ayaw matanggal... any suggestions on how to remove yung lamat, kung posible pa? or better off na bumili nlng ako ng bagong bumper?

While reading kc sa thread na toh eh kya makatanggal ng clay ng mga scratches... malaki hula ko na nde kya tanggalin ung lamat nung clay pero i might be wrong. TIA mga bossing!

you got it all wrong dude, clay "cannot" remove scratches

**mmanson** · April 22nd, 2007 04:46 PM

yep. it can only remove "hidden" contaminants (tama ba?) para pag lagay mo ng polish/glaze at wax, nakapatong yun sa paint at hindi sa dumi.

**Krytone** · April 23rd, 2007 10:03 AM

ganun ba? so no other option na tlga kundi palitan ung bumper... salamats!

lately, nagtry ako ng "klasse qd." 1 cap lang at distilled water sa isang spray bottle. it works as good as my former mothers or fk1 sprays. mas tipid pa! my small klasse bottle is over 3 years old na! i decided i will stop buying separate qd sprays.

dun sa may klasse aio at walang qd, i highly recommend you try making one. i post a recent pic sa black car thread.
