Guys patulong naman,

Kanina kasi nagcar wash ako ng car ko. After ko malinis, may napansin akong mga concrete na matigas na. Maliit lang naman. Parang dot dot lang siya. Paano ko ito tatanggalin? Kaya pa ba ito matanggal? Need help guys.

sakin gamit ko yung sa scooter ko pa before..engine degreaser po..pero kapag inamoy mo e amoy kerosene lang..hehe pero super effective talaga just spray it then after siguro 2 to 3 minutes makita mo parang nalulusaw yung mga nakakapit then sabunan mo lang kinis na ulit yung paint

hmmm that would have to be checked personally to suggest a good product but if its cement usually paint safe body solvents work great, you could also try to clay it and hope it comes off, but if its cement i would not recommend using the clay again, try to break away a small piece and dedicate that you the cement spots.

Not the entire Meguiars team, only Mike Stoops (Forum and Marketing Admin). The rest of the gurus where still wasted after their stint at SEMA.

The seminar is free. Breakfast and Lunch are also free. How good a deal is that The lecture part is nothing more than what people already know about detailing. The real deal is when we actually applied the techniques.

They don't sell products onsite but Mike recommends amazon.com, autodetailingsolutions.com and detailing.com. That also means only MSRP and no discounts.

Your interest with the Ultimate Paste Wax seems justifiable. Mike mentioned this being a highly recommended product versus NXT. And about the famous SwirlX, their R&D guys apparently are concocting something that might eventually replace it by 2011.

maybe ADS for their spray bottle size samplers, but why didn't he recommend AG?

they already have a multi step polish. they might be concocting something to compete with the longer playing OPT Hyper Compound and Hyper Polish Sprays.

Apparently ADS handles a lot of their products which includes logo merchandise. ADS also have bulk sales unlike AG which only carries a handful.

As to why they need to insert a new product between their multi-step line is beyond me. They must have found something more practical towards regular usage which their competitors currently doesn't have.

you might need to use an aggressive clay, there are a lot of different clay grades and some or really really hard and aggressive that you could actually see some very old paint spots and transfers slowly abrade away, its like literally wet sanding the overspray but it is still gentle on paint

When done properly, claying is clear coat safe right? What are the pros and cons of using an aggressive and less aggressive clay? Will aggressive clay scratch the paint?

I believe that I need to clay once a month because during weekdays, I park in an industrial zone in Novaliches. After a month, sobra gaspang ulit ng bubong.

Mag cacause ng marring yung aggressive clay so need pang i follow up ng polish. Pero matatanggal niya yung mga stubborn contaminants like overspray na hindi maremove ng less aggressive clay. Sa mothers thread sa HCP may binebenta si MOMSPH na aggressive clay.

Sakin din after a month yung bubong rough na kaagad since wala ako covered parking.
