Hello mga sir/maam. Questions lang po regarding exterior detailing and carwash.
Marami na po kasi akong mga nabasa and yung iba naghalo-halo na. Confirm ko lang po mga napick-up ko.

Washing:

I bought the ff. for washing my car weekly:

- microtex car shampoo
- microtex washmitt for shampoo application
- microtex elite for drying
- microtex tire black
- mother's tire brush
I'd consider getting a second washmitt (can be a cheaper brand) for your lower panels.

Questions:

1. Is it okay to use the shampoo weekly? Sabi sa label it won't strip wax.
Yes, no issues with using the shampoo weekly. Make sure you use it in the proper dilution (instructions call for two capfuls for 2.5 liters of water, which work out to around 1:83).

2. Weekly rin ba ang application ng tire black? Okay na ba yung microtex na brand for tire black?
Microtex is a good brand for tire black (it's what I use). You probably won't need to apply weekly (maybe every other week), but I find myself doing so anyway, since I like to the look of freshly dressed tires.

Waxing:

I have the ff.:

- meguiar's ultimate quik wax
- microtex nanoglos
- microtex nanosliq
- micromagic wax applicator
- microtex ultra plush, 1 for nanoglos, 1 for collinite

Will buy Collinite 915 soon.
Good product selection. I'd consider getting more towels. No need to get the ultra plush, the plush will do. I'd get two to three Microtex Terrys (for wax removal) and two or three Plush towels (for QD and final wipe).


Questions:

1. I plan to wax every 2 months with collinite 915. Tama ba itong procedure ko? Magpapatong ba yung nanogloss at collinite?

a. Wash car.
b. Apply nanogloss. Cure. Buff.
c. Apply collinite 915. Still don't know how to use this though. Cure? Buff.
d. Apply uqw. Wipe on, wipe off.
Just to clarify, there is a difference between drying and curing time. You generally let a wax dry (haze over), and then buff it off. However, you still need to give it some time after that to cross-link - this is the curing time. For your case, here's what I'd do.

Week 1: wash + NanoGlos (dry, buff, cure) + 915 (dry, buff, cure)
Week 2: wash + NanoSliq
Week 3: wash + NanoSliq
Week 4: wash + UQW
Week 5: wash + NanoSliq
Week 6: wash + NanoSliq
Week 7: start again

Before this though, I would do the week 1 step, but then just do weekly washes, until you see the 915 deteriorating. Why? This is so you can get baseline for how long the 915 will last, given your driving and parking conditions - then you can gauge whether you can go up to two months in between 915 applications.

2. Since every two months lang ako magwax, tama ba na weekly carwash tapos maintain/protect na lang yung wax using uqw? Or kelangan ko pa rin mag nanoglos?
Weekly carwash is fine. You can also apply the UQW weekly, but I wouldn't - there's no point in spending the money for a durable product if you're not going to leverage on that durability. Apply it after three weeks - that with the NanoSliq should be more than enough to keep your 915 layer healthy in between applications. Keep things simple, no need to multi-layer and over-complicate things

3. Any problems sa routine na ito considering maya't maya ang ulan sa atin?
Try and find a dry span of time when you wax (check your weather forecasts )

For days na hindi ako magcacarwash, i-CCD ko na lang siya.

Important Question:
Hindi ko pa napapa-exterior detail yung auto ko at medyo may mga contaminants and kelangan siguro i-clay bar, etc. Pero wala pa kasi akong budget para dun. Okay lang ba gawin yung mga sinulat ko kahit medyo 'marumi' pa yung kotse? Hindi ba maaapektuhan yung kapit nung chemicals or something like that?

Yun na lang muna. Wala pa akong alam sa mga sealants, glazes, cleaning wax, polishing wax, etc.

Thanks in advance guys. Really need help from the pros. :D
It should be ok, though you might not get the best durability. One thing I will say is that you should really consider claying first - it's one of the most bang-for-the-buck things you can do, in terms of immediate results. You will definitely feel the difference in an unclayed and a clayed surface, especially if the car hasn't been maintained in a long time. Also, sometimes just claying can help increase paint clarity and gloss. Also, as indiej has mentioned, it's worth using a cleaner wax or pre-wax cleaner the first time - this will help pull embedded contaminants from the car, and will, along with clay, ensure a clean surface to work with. The NanoGlos does have some mild cleaners, but a dedicated pre-wax cleaner/cleaner wax would be more effective. You can probably find sachets of turtle wax cleaner wax in malls; heck, if you're not in the general area, I could probably give you some pre-wax cleaner to use on your car.
