Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued]

[bombitmd]

May tanong ako, kasi diba masama rin sa paint kapag punas ka ng punas? Lalo na kapag di mo namamalayang with pressure na pala pagpunas mo so nababawasan yung coating ng wax.

Now ang question ko is kunwari umulan so basang-basa oto mo pagkauwi ng gabi, what's the best thing to do? (to preserve your wax and make it last a little longer)

1. Hose the car down and wipe it dry with an MF or
2. Hose the car down, allow water (tubig gripo syempre) to dry overnight and wash the car immediately the next morning.
2.1 Do not hose the car down, allow rain water to dry overnight and wash the car immediately the next morning.

First off, CONGRATS sa pagpanlo mo ng BLADE! May isang boto ako diyan!

Regarding dun sa punas and wash, try ko sumagot kahit hindi pa ako expert, padawan pa lang, hehe

Ideally, kailangan matanggal yung rain water and the dirt that comes with it as soon as possible. Acidic kasi yung ulan, and the dirt baka mas kumapit pag natuyo. Hosing down ng malakas and then wiping off siguro ok na as primary prevention, pero ang risk mo lang diyan si micro scratching kasi puwedeng hindi matanggal lahat ng dirt by just hosing down.

What I do sometimes is use ONR lang na waterless wash dilution (1:62 yata yun). Naka timpla ako ng mga 1.5 L dun sa bote na spray gun (yung pang garden na nabibili sa ACE) and I spray the entire car with it kahit basa pa (although I wait awhile para medyo mabawasan yung tubig.) Then I use several MF to wipe it down, then dry if off with Elite. Magastos sa MF, pero no need for hosing down or use of soap. Ok siya kung hindi masyado maputik yung lower half ng car. Once, instead of MF ginamit ko (kasi magastos nga), wash mit pinampunas, tapos banlaw sa tubig kada punas. Then dry off with Elite lang.

So far, 1 1/2 months na fleetwax with occassional OCW and siguro once a week wash with soap, buhay pa beeding! Hindi ko rin na lilinis everytime ma basa ng ulan, pero ok pa naman siya.

By the way, to help reduce the amount of water microtex Elite towel has to absorb, gumagamit ako ng chamois pang dampi sa large areas with water; hindi punas! Afterwards, punas ng Elite, kaunti na lang kaya halos tuyo pa rin yung towel :D

Dagdag pala: Kung hindi ko kayang hugasan properly (using shampoo or ONR), hindi ko na hinuhugasan. At the least, hose down lang kung makapal ang dumi sa car, pero no wiping. Why? You risk scratching kasi nga for sure, may duming maiiwan sa car, by wiping it dry you might end up catching the dirt in your MF and then scratch your paint.

Parehong pareho tayo Yan din binili ko nung mag start ako with detailing. Suggestion ko, buy a good wax, like the Collinite series. Super sulit. Yung Clay bar, Step 1 and 2 kasi every couple of months mo lang magagamit, unless needed talaga.

IMHO, quick detailers arent designed for removing spider webs. Webs are minute scratches in the clearcoat.You may eliminate/lessen the webs via 1) polishing or 2) filling in the scratches. For filling, you may opt to use Nano Glos. It's an affordable wax that has excellent filling properties.

Sir, where can I buy Nano Glos? Maybe sir you could pinpoint some good stores near Alabang and Laguna. Many Thanks
