hello detailers,
last weekend, the gas boy at the station stained my gas lid.our car's paint is white, and you could really see the yellow stain. not sure if its stained by the gasoline or oil on the gas boy's hand. when i got home, i diluted some liquid soap and washed the area. unfortunately, i didn't get to totally remove the stain. not sure if the clear coat is stain. is it possible to permanently stain the clear coat with oil or gasoline? makukuha pa kaya to sa cleaner wax? yoko magbawas ng clear coat.
need your DIY suggestions since im quite far from the reputable detailers.
PSI: idol..di gumana dilution.. pero medyo tinapangan ko na yung sabon e.

January 18th, 2011 04:22 PM #8question lang po. newbie here.
1. ano po ba maganda wax na tumatagal ng 1-2mos? yun simple lang po eapply since hindi naman ako magaling sa kotse.
2. yun carnauba wax ba gaano siya katagal before maalis? nabasa ko sa formula 1 carnauba was na 12mos nagbeads pa ang tubig?
3. other advice po sa pagwax na tumatagal talaga na puwede DIY, hindi masakit sa bulsa and madali lang para sakin.
open parking lang po sa office and sa bahay. doing 2x a month car wash (shampoo) and every other day na linis (either water lang or car duster)
TIA.

short answer: copy EuroFD's process.
collinite 476s. see to it that a small amount of wax is spread all over the foam applicator pad then apply as thinly as you can on the car panels. finger swipe test, buff off when dry.

sealants last even longer than waxes. Even if there's a garage, your applied wax or sealant will have to deal with watermarks/waterspots in less than a month. And those will be all over your car. After your next wash, you will have to abrade/erode your wax/sealant layer til the etchings are gone or risk having them etch into the paint. You may first try fixing it with a QD but a liquid cleaner wax works effectively for this. Collinite also has a liquid cleaner wax Sapphire.
Watch out for the glass-type sealant/coating. OPT? I hope they whip out that service soon. Your car may be sidelined for more or less 7 days curing time. afterwards you only need the weekly wash with no urgency except for severe caustic contaminants. Good for a year or more. compare their cost and time savings against DIY. Got my Aquartz waiting on a shelf. Cquartz seems a next gen type in ease of application and hardness.
