uy.. thanks mga gurus...
i already applied it and i saw some improvements naman...
so i guess its okay not to wait for the next wash... there was added gloss

altho you may be right sir... 845 seems to be a durable wax...
thanks thanks...indiej and umi001... :D

and by the way... am just starting to learn pa lang...

sir detailing newbie question: does wax can protect our paint from clouding?

**indiej** · June 30th, 2011 03:04 PM

how do you mean? it might be clearcoat failure. if it's peeling, it needs a repaint.

If the cloudiness is already there, as indiej said, it could already be clearcoat failure, which will require a repaint. If it's an old car with single-stage paint, then the outer layer of paint is most likely oxidized. The paint will need to be fed with an oil-rich glaze, and then the oxidized layers polished to reveal the good paint underneath.

Now, if you're asking if wax will keep the "cloudiness" aka oxidization from happening, then yes, it should - oxidization is primarly caused by UV exposure, and both carnauba wax and most (all?) sealants offer UV protection to the paint, whether it be clear-coated or single-stage.

Jerome of Autobisyo does meetups in Makati. As already mentioned, Big Berts should have 845 available, as well as a place called PRAutoType Detailing - at least based on the list of authorized resellers on their Facebook page (not sure if you need to like their page first): Colinite Authorized Resellers
