^^ plastic yung headlights mo? try to use PLASTX of meguiars. You can buy this from blade, hans or true value

Bought the 1k petot promo of Microtex.. Sulit na sulit ito, knowing that it's a great product at a very cheap price!

Come rainy season I hope that it'll protect the car from the nasty watermarks ..

*golti: thats a great plan for dealing with your problems with the swirls, my suggestion with regards to using swirlX would be to use it with light pressure to make sure you don't remove too much clear coat since its a new car, if the swirls aren't that deep you could also try filling the swirls, you could use Mothers Step 2 and top it with any wax you like, or you could try Microtex NanoGlos and Megs NXT and Eagle one for final waxes, these waxes have great filling capabilities.

*morlack: wow hello there fellow innova owner, the headlights of the innova is plastic so for very light scratches you could use Meguiars PlastX around 700+ and Mothers Plastic Polish around 400. If the scratches are deep, you might have to get yourself a headlights restoration kit, Meguiars and Turtle Wax already have them and i've tried them before with great results, Mothers just released their Headlights Restoration kit which i have not yet tested but the Megs and TW are great products and im sure Mothers will also perform great. For protecting the headlights, sadly there are no available protection against scratches unless you put a plastic film like expel or something, for protecting against fading and discoloration, Mothers Plastic Polish works best for me since it also provides protection

madkatz: is there a remedy for a deep scratch without using a "masilya"? Para lang ma-protect muna kesa ipagawa ko na agad sa shop.

[madkatz]

*james00112233: if by deep scratch you mean it it went thru the color coat and stopped at the primer, them a thick application of wax would already do the trick, if by deep scratch you meant it striked thru not just through to the primer but right through to the metal then i would recommend you have it done in the shop and have bondo put over it to cover the exposed metal to avoid rusting. In my case what i do is use a clear coat pen from a paint correction kit i got in the US from TW, its basically a clear coat on a pen so for those instance like small spots i just use this and wait for the wash over, but if its big then its definitely body shop already.
