comrades, i just bought vinegar in hypermarket yday eh sabi ni master dapat daw distilled.....eh hindi distilled yung nabili ko 1 galon pa man din..

saan ba nakakabili ng distilled na vinegar? yung mga mokong naman kasi dun sa store eh tinaasan pa ako ng kilay nung maghanap ako ng distilled vinegar...

I tried just an ordinary vinegar and it worked fine with me. It removed water stains off my windshield to my amazement. 1:1 vinegar to water is my mix.

I'm absolutely sure that distilled vinegar will work wonders but try first with what you have on a discreet part of your car and assess if you like the result.

Just my opinion

Bro check this out

This type of blower is actually okay for general purpose drying. If the snout can be replaced with a shorter size then it is perfect. Is this the same as the one on this video?

Mga Sir/Ma'm kanina kasi sa pinagparkan ko may nagpintura..ngayon nung pagbalik ko may mga maliliit na dumikit na pintura..e ang masama silver yung sasakyan ko tapos kulay green yung pintura. sa may hood to e. pag uwi ko pinalamig ko muna yung hood..wash and then clay..pero ayaw ng matanggal.. may iba pa bang way para matanggal yun??

[Hardinero]

my take is hazing with OID usually arise from not diluting it enough. same as ONR. measure it while diluting.

ah ganon ba paps....eh di mas ok pa bang sumubra ang distilled water para hindi mag-haze?

with OID 1:3 and ONR 1:16

yup right now i'm using yung datu vinegar pero para hindi po sa body ng car kungdi sa MF towel...

mga paps, san ba makakabili ng distilled vinegar tried it sa moa hypermart hindi nila kilala o alam ang distilled vinegar...kaya opted to buy na lang yung SM bonus natural vinegar

Anybody here who is using a Skil 9070 polisher (variable speed)? Any good for LSP? Thanks!

yup its not bad, its a little more expensive than the wp1300 but its a lot lighter, its still heavier than the makita though but its sort of a perfect rip off, downside is that if you're a weekend detailer then you might not be able to use this that much and you're better off with the wp1300 if you're not gonna use it frequently, also price is also a little steep compared to its other competitors and its warranty is only stuck at 3 months

Guys, I'm having a hard time cleaning the roof part of our Innova(hirap talaga abutin) that's why it's the most neglected part of our ride. Ano bang effective way to remove the water spots in that area? Thanks

for the majority of the roof parts you could use the cleaner wax with the PC either with the orange or white pad and for the other parts and the groves since its not flat you could do it by hand but all of which are pain fully back breaking

Hi

Sa underside ng kotse pag kinapa parang may "pimples asphalt" Ano ginagmit nyo to remove and ayoko subukan yung gaas na advise.

I like yung consumer review sa collinite. Ano cleaner wax advsiable bago magcollinite?

Right choice din ba na collinite for habanero red? May kilala ako sa black car nya klasse sg.

claying can also help but it would really deteriorate your clay pretty fast, there are also other items that are really meant for asphalt removal like the turtle wax bug and tar remover, its in an aerosol can that you just spray the area and let it dwell for like a few minutes and wipe off with an MF cloth this would be the best advice i could give you, its available in True Value stores

Guys,
Natry ninyo na bang gawing drying lubricant ang OGE? Yung after rinsing eh mag spray ng OGE sa wet part then wipe dry...

that could help lessen the friction between the paint and the cloth and it might add gloss, some people in the US do this but i prefer to dry it separately and use OID after separately

[madkatz]

question ulit mga comrades,
1) OID - does it leaves a haze or something when applied...diba pahid then let it dry lang no
need to buff na

2) Advance Reflections spray wax -- same question above...

kasi with OID i applied it kasi kagabi and natuwa nga ako sa gloss nya kaya lang this
morning parang may haze or something sa hood ko.

hmmm so far we use OID at a stronger dilution sometimes even up to 50% more concentrated especially on shows and no streaking whatsoever, technique is just mist a little not too much and then wipe is ASAP, if you apply too much you would get streaking or as what indiej might have said you might be using it too concentrated

Hello Everyone!

Stoner's Invisible Glass is now available at True Value Outlets

for those who don't have time or doesn't have Glass Science Rain Clear on their windshield, this would be a great recommendation it gives very light beading for glass surfaces

however for those using Glass Science i would recommend using the Glass Science Spray product since it goes quite well with the Rain Clear Gel

[indiej]

ah ganon ba paps....eh di mas ok pa bang sumubra ang distilled water para hindi mag-haze?

with OID 1:3 and ONR 1:16

just follow the correct dilutions. OID streaking is attributed to heat, dilution, over-dampening.

try 1:4 OID-distilled water: your fold of MF should just be damp instead of almost soaked when you're done. the good thing is that you won't deplete your OID as fast. btw, check your bottle cos the smaller ones of OID are not labeled 'concentrated'.

that will work. use it on distilled water instead . just kidding. at around 1:50 or 250ml (i may have written 25ml before) per washing machine load, vinegar on water won't be smelly. your folks can also use it for adobo. label that as such when you find distilled vinegar, which you will relabel 'acetic acid - poisonous' ;).

find distilled vinegar at the imported food section of puregold, robinson's, maybe SM, etc.

I just got an email notification that AG is giving out 20% discount on purchases above $95. The catch is, this is only valid on Nov. 4 and 5 (last days of SEMA). For those interested, the coupon code is SEMA20 * the checkout.

I agree on this! Stoner is way better than Rain X. Glass Science is better than Stoner. Aquapel is better than Glass Science.

Salamat sa advice.

Regarding collonite pwede ba aio gawin ko cleaner wax tapos 417 ang isusunod ko?

Yung bug ang tar remover safe naman yun? Kasi most car wash and gas station puntahan ko puro gaas advice. Ok ba gaas or paranoid lang ako.

Yung stoners meron ba sila treatment for water spots or purely rain repellant lang?

[indiej]

distilled vinegar 1 oz/30 ml o kalahati nyan per washing machine load, sabi ng mga nanay.

here i dug it out. 1/2 to 1 cup/240 ml per Load dapat like what madkatz said and far as digging goes, i forgot..

..natanggal ko na siya bro...sinunod ko yung payo mo na hindi masyado lubricated yung clay..yun mabilis kumapit yung mga lisa..

congrats to your success in overspray removal. now you have that experience in your pocket. :clap1:

good suggestion, most people i notice when using QD usually end up using a lot of it, QD's are usually just meant to be misted that why we also look for very good spray bottles to do the job properly a short fine mist should do the job well, on a hood only 3 sprays of fine mist will already cover a camry's whole hood

too bad its only till 5, i was hoping it would reach sunday so i could also avail of the free shipping over 95$, i was able to take advantage of the sema 15 with free shipping over 95$ last week but this might be a better deal

[madkatz]

Two thumbs up on this, if only aquapel was a lot less expensive hehe, one aquapel treatment could nearly get you one whole squeeze bottle of Rain Clear Gel for the price, so i just end up using Rain Clear more often but on those times i've tried Aquapel it lasted me more than half a year on a daily drive and over a year on our garage queen

yes you could use AIO followed by 476 if thats what you meant

the bug and tar remover is safe for paint just as long as you wash you car properly first before applying it

as with using kerosene its pretty safe if you ask me, just don't let it tell for like 30 minutes or so and just as long as you're carefull with rubber, otherwise on painted parts its very safe

its a cleaner and repellent, its meant to remove films and other gunky sticky contaminants on the paint and add a very light rain repellent, but sadly its not made for removing water spots, waterspots are usually mineral deposits etched into the paint, if you have those you might want to try using pure distilled vinegar on a small hand cotton towel and put some on the windshield and try to rub if off, if its still there you might need to use a more concentrated acid to remove them, and lastly in severe cases you might need to even use a ultra fine polish to remove them of course all depending on the state and severity of the watermarks, i suggest you try to bring it over one time if you guys have an EB, Elevo Watermark remover is a favorite among forumers here its found in nearly all hardware stores, but as with me and my BF we prefer something stronger to easily do the job.
