    First - sorry kung newbie question po. Ang haba ng detailing thread eh, hirap mag back read. And medyo di ko alam kung saan tama i-post yung question so dito na muna. Correct me na lang po pag mali location.

    Anyway, my question is about my 2 week-old Innova. I was hoping to get some good maintenance tips from you guys on a good daily routine to be used to keep it in good condition. Maybe a list of materials used for washing, waxing, etc. I do have a problem though. I do not have a garage so my car is exposed to the sun and rain daily. The only option now is to get a car cover, but I've read it can cause light scratches, specially when the cover is taken on/off regularly. Ive read though that some use soft towels on the roof/sides/hood to prevent the scratches caused by the cover.

    So basically I was hoping that you can give me some good advise on how to best take care of my car given the condition that I don't have a garage. Its a big investment so I think its best to protect our investment.

    before we had the polycarbonate roof installed on our house as well as on my BF's place, both our cars were not covered, but we still won't take a gamble on a car cover, too risky for us, for me if you want to protect your car, just get a quality sealant and wax along with other detailing materials and just maintain it, twice a week washing and weekly waxing will already be enough, i've seen cars thats not covered that still looks like new, it all boils down to taking care of the car regularly
