kung red po yung car, use the Reflections Spray wax ng Mothers. the FX is much better for silver color shades. believe me... i know. 'learned from the experts here and PD.

by the way sir, naka bili napo ako kanina ng Mothers FX sa Ace hardware, kukunin ko po dapat ung reflections kaya lang 900+ compare sa 450+ ung FX, pag naubos ung FX, palitan ko nalang po ng Reflections. Thank you sir

The Mothers line is a good alternative, and less expensive locally than Meguiar's. Again, haven't used it, but I've read good things about the new Mothers California Gold Synthetic Wax - reasonable price, has a nice darkening effect, and some cleaning ability. You can then top it off with your spray wax of choice perhaps at the next wash.

None at Tru Value? There's also the Carlack combo that's the same with Klasse, just in case you chance upon them.

Sorry sir, Tru Value doesn't carry Klasse and Carlack anymore. Thanks anyway.

Sumakit na ulo ko pag back read. Eto nakuha ko for best results na routine?

1. Wash car, dry.
2. Prep paint - depending on the condition of the paint, choose any of the 3 below.
a. clay (once a year or as needed?)
b. polish (twice a year or every quarter?)
c. apply pre-cleaner wax / cleaner wax (once or twice a month?)
3. Apply Sealant (Glaze?).
4. Let cure or on the next car wash, apply wax.
5. On the next washes, apply QD. Depending on the durability of sealant, wax, pwedeng ito lang gawin after washes.
6. An alternate is spray waxes after washes.

Yung #2 pwede rin skip kung good condition pa ang paint.

Looks about right. For polishing, I would stick with doing it annually, at most - you shouldn't need to do it that often if you take care of your paint properly. I do always use a pre-wax cleaner of some sort before applying a new sealant/carnauba wax - just to remove any embedded dirt in the paint, as well any remnants of the old LSP, to ensure that the new product is applied on clean paint.

I just checked ACE Hardware. No luck there, either.
