Hi sir. Did you polish your car first before applying the 915 to take out the watermarks? Maybe it was there in the first place and got locked in with the 915. And there is no magic product that will prevent watermarks. Given that rain water is acidic, it eventually eats through the layers of waxes we apply until it reaches the surface finish. Its further aggravated by the intense heat we have. Only way is to not let rainwater dry up sa sasakyan and just wash it at the end of the day. Nano sliq offers no protection at all sir. The 915 by itself is very durable and highly praised for its durability. You have a very good lsd already sir. Paint prep lang yan and maintenance especially now na intermittent weather natin and extremes pa.

I use 845 and I haven't noticed watermarks. There are circular dust marks left after the water dries but I don't mind them that much because they just wash away the next time the car gets wet.

Try cleaning your wipers with isopropyl alcohol (no moisturizers) - this will strip the old, degraded outer layers of rubber, and might help improve wiper performance.

Can anyone point me to where I can buy the Klasse twins locally? I checked a Sulit and ubos na raw. Called Big Bert's Araneta and they said they don't sell raw.

Due to the current weather conditions, I badly need these.

Thanks for your help.

Applicable ba to sa bagong refill ng wiper sir? Nag apply kasi ako rainx at bago yung wiper ko, nagjujudder padin hehe...medyo palyado pa nga yung refill, manipis masyado di swak sa clip.

good day po sa inyo mga sir.

di ko po ma search yung thread regarding sa ganitong problema

any idea kung paano po maalis mga mantsa na ganito? dati naman po naaangihan yung kotse sa garahe pero di nagkaka ganyan. paggising ko nitong umaga ganyan na. still original paint pa po yan

hugas with car shampoo - ayaw matanggal
wax - ayaw pa rin matanggal
polishing compound - ayaw pa rin
3m rubbing compund - ayaw pa rin
hugas with ariel powder -ayaw pa rin
kuskos gamit ang gaas - ayaw pa rin
kuskos gamit ang diesel - ayaw pa rin
buhos ng mainit na tubig tsaka kuskos - ayaw pa rin

sobrang desperado ko kung ano ano tuloy ginawa ko

Di yan kaya ng detailing, ngunit naniniwala ako na "walang matigas sa kumukulong tubig"

sa Usapang Pintura mas makikilatis ang ganitong problema. Kalabitin nyo sina dexter,raul et al.

Ibang klase, pantay kasi sa ibabaw, walang makitang crack, sa ilalim nagkaproblema. Nakakita na ako nito pero bitak bitak ang ibabaw dahil bukod sa crack natanggal na ang ibang pintura kaya mapa mapa.

Anong kotse at ano kaya ang history ng pintura nyan? Itanong na sa mga pintor yan.

Adam's Paint Correcting Finish -> Adam's Paint Finishing Polish -> KAIO -> Dodo Juice SNH.

And yes, the surface is dirty as evidenced by the dirt at the center of the droplets. Poor beading due to dirt? Nahhh...

How do you guys remove air freshner odor from the car?

I read na yung baking soda is just a myth daw? Are there any detailing product that can remove the odor and not just mask it? Thanks

one time fresh fish was left for a day

, a sack of charcoal left in the car for a week and cleaning the damp mess solved the odor problem. didn't have to do anything mechanical to parts that smell but not dampened. the car still was used regularly.

there are other chemical or enzyme based substances that can break down foul odors. try one from microtex
