[antz-z]

went to blade this lunch to buy mother's step1 and step3 and microtex nano glos. guy at blade said i should try mother's carnauba cleaner wax instead of the 3-steps. any feedback po from this item?

i ended up buying magic 88 applicator pads, mother's fender wall brush and microtex nano sliq..

AFAIK, carnauba cleaner wax is a combination of the 3 steps. if you don't have so much time for detailing your car, then go for the carnauba cleaner. but if you have time to spare on detailing, then go for the 3 steps, which i believe is more effective than the carnauba cleaner alone. I had the same thought before, but ended up buying steps 1 and 2, and 476 as the 3rd step.

thanks.. follow-up questions lang..

mother's pre-cleaner wax is to be used 1-2 times a year, kaso wala naman nabibili na small amount lang. how long is the shelf-life of this?

and also, where did you buy the 476? sa autobisyo website, it's P1900.. i thought it was only P700..

Guys do you know how to take of an etched bird poop off a clear coat safely? I have tried searching here and on other sites but I can't seem to find the exact remedy. Because I was too desperate, I tried 3M scratch remover. It took off a little to none and made the clear coat hazy. Good thing I have the Hand Glaze to give it's shine back.

So what would safely and completely remove the bird poop?

Actually I had these in mind:

-Bug and Tar Remover
-Detailing Clay
-Pre Wax Cleaner

What would you recommend?

ako ginagawa ko yung ONR spray lang yung portion na yun then wipe off...then another spray ng ONR para sure na wala maiwan...then QD...

kakapit po ba ang collinite 476 sa paint kung mag aapply muna ko ng TW cleaner wax? or mas maganda pong shampoo ko muna ulit then deretso 476 na?

sana mapadala na agad ng autobisyo order ko hehe..cant wait na kung maganda nga talaga yung effect ng 476 compared sa mga pinagpipilian ko before...

I think ONR is not effective anymore as the bird stain has oxidized already. How about for those severe cases in which the stain ate through the clear coat? Would it disappear if I would just leave it?

true pag nag oxidized na e ibang usapan na talaga yan. di ko pa na try na ganyang case sa vehicle ko. antay natin ang mga reply ng mga masters/guru for that scenario.

Hello bird stain does not really oxidize paint it mainly etches the paint to a point that its either stained which is good because the clearcoat level is still flat or the etching actually ate through, with these cases we usually just polish the paint until its basically flat again so it will not be that noticeable and so that it won't have deep microscopic valleys there water could sink into and remain to further etch the paint

I've read before na years din bibilangin regarding its shelf life.(probably 5? baka nagpalit ka na ng auto, buhay pa cleaner mo )
Just make sure it's well kept in a cool dry place.
700php parin yung 476 bro. the site is not updated. just bought one the other week and it's still 700 pesos.
