Do you wash your car by yourself?

[renzo_d10]

Some people like to have a "personal touch" kasi kaya ayaw ipa-hugas sa carwash. Yun iba naman, basic carwash lang na tig-70 petot every 3weeks-1month solve na.

Ako kasi, I'm more of the latter. I never really paid interest in detailing my car by myself. Simpleng carwash lang sa suking carwash eh ok na. Sakin lang naman, basta malinis ok na.

Pero I've been planning to wash my car by myself (exercise na rin) anytime soon.

Question 1:

Ano ba magandang products na gamitin?
No detailing involved. Just pure washing. Ano ba magandang shampoo etc. ? And ang alam ko maraming procedure para kailangan talaga gawin para talagang malinis.

MF towel ba dapat pang-tuyo? And ok ba yung Carnauba shampoo na nabibili sa Concorde? Ilan ba yung ratio niya...

Question 2:

Ikaw ba, do you wash your car by yourself? Or para ikaw ako? Hayaan nalang yung carwash to do the job.

I used to wash my car o punas lang almost daily or every other day, depende pag marumi na ang car and di umuulan; lalo na nong nakatira pa ako sa bahay ng parents ko, kasi yong garage ko don, katabi lang ng gripo kaya medyo ganado ako mag-washing. At para parating malinis ang car ko. It's either ako mismo ang nagwawashing, double purpose, pampapawis na rin, kumbaga exercise na may pakinabang; or yong Bro. in law ko or maid.

Tapos once a month sa carwash shop para malinisan yong ilalim at mapa-vacuum ang loob ng car, carwash plus wax and tire block, P 200-P250.

Pero ngayong lumipat na ako ng apartment, bihira na akong mag-washing ng car ko, kadalasan, punas na lang. malayo kasi yong garage ko sa apt unit ko, about 10 meters or more, at saka mano-manong washing, balde saka tabo ang gamit. Pero pa-minsan2X, ginagawa ko pa rin kung marumi na ang exterior ng car at walang time para pumunta ng car wash shop; and/or gusto kong mag-exercise, pampapawis.

I used to have a car shampoo with wax, nakalimutan ko lang ang brand, pero nong naubos na, I use hair shampoo, usually, rejoice or pantene.

Average visit ko sa carwash shop is once a month; maghihintay ka rin ng almost 2 hours pagpa-washing eh.

I use a piece of cloth pala which is designed for car washing talaga, to avoid additional scratches to my car.

[renzo_d10]

Yan ba yung dilaw na pampatuyo?

[galant E SS]

yap, meron ako nyan, na sabi nong salesman, it's better to keep it wet? are you referring to that? but I like to use ordinary piece/s of cotton cloth that are also sold together with car shampoos/wax, etc. in the department stores, or yong nilalako in the streets of Manila, na square/rectangular shape na tig-25 pesos each or 3 for P 100.

Ako sir,
I do wash my car by myself, every saturday morning, primary reason ko is exercise,
Ang sarap din ng feeling after mo pagpawisan at nakitang malinis auto. Hehe.

Gamit ko:

Washmitt, microtex carshampoo and tire black, chamois, vacuum, mf for interior
Tsaka extra shirt pagkatapos. Hehe.

Pero lately hindi nadin ganun kapawis ang carwash, nasasanay na siguro katawan ko,
Diy wax application naman, mas matarabaho para pawisan. Hehe.

Goodluck Sa diy carwash. Hehe.

[cjv_justice]

renz ikaw ba yan bro? haha...

kung gusto mo ikaw na mag wash, economical na talaga yung Microtex na car shampoo. yung sa materials na gagamitin for washing, microfiber na microtex washmitt sa body and isang pang mitt na mas mura for the wheels oks na yun. drying ko yung Microtex na elite na towel.

magandang exercise din to...

[baludoy]

ako lang din ang nag-lilinis ng auto

but since i exercise very regularly, it's more of me time for myself. kung baga parang zen moment iyon sa gulo ng buhay hehe

[ericson21]

ako bro i wash my car every sunday. ako mismo naglilinis pag wala talaga akong pasok every week. buhos buhos lang tapos shampoo, carnuba, hehe. tapos buhos ulit tapos tuyuin ko na. chamois pang tuyo ko, yung color yellow hehe. tapos wipe out every week sa innova (beige kasi interior) tapos once ever 2 months naman wipeout ko sa adventure (gray naman kasi interior, di dumihin.) :D tapos ako na din nag vavaccum ng loob pag medyo di pa pagod at ginaganahan. tama eh, magandaang exercise!

meron din akong super soft cloth, pang tangal lang ng alikabok pag punas lang bro.

3 chamois ginagamit ko. isa pang mga salamin, isa pang body at isa pang mga ilalim ng bumper. (me mga buhangin at putik kasi, luma na lang yung gamit ko hehe.)

minsan naman pa carwash din ako, once a month solve na hehe. (minsan kasi tinatamad ako maglinis, innova at adventure, parehong malaki bro, nakakapagod haha!) carwash, vaccum, tire black. minsan minsan ko lang pinapa wax, mga once every 3 months lang hehe. :D

kaw na maglinis bro! mas masarap sa feeling pag nakita mo yung kotse mong ang kintab sa linis tapos ikaw mismo gumawa.

[renzo_d10]

Mga loko ayaw maniwala na ako 'to ... :hysterical:

Ayun sige makabili nga ako ng microtex na yan. Hehe.

[Retz]

doon ako sa bikini car wash.

[renzo_d10]

^ mga lolang naka-bikini?

Yung car wash boys ang naka-bikini; Felix Bakat.

I wash the car myself. I usually wash thoroughly once a week with a inbetween quick body wash and hose down if it rains inbetween. Pag summer i can go for 2 weeks or so with just using the California Duster.

I use the following:
1. Microtex Shampoo (i'll try out the Mothers Shampoo next time though)
2. Microfibre wash mit
3. Microfibre towel
4. Chamois (for drying)
5. Brush and older microfibre towel for wheels, wheel well, and suspension bits (i also clean the suspension parts that i can reach by turning the wheels full lock).

No pressure washer for me, malakas yung water pressure sa amin so having a good hose (non kink) and hose spray is more than enough. I use the soap in bucket method and also wax the cars once a month.

[cjv_justice]

vinj try mo next time yung Meg's na NXT car shampoo (purple)...

buti sa inyo malakas yung water pressure... sa amin it will take a few more weeks pa, ngayon palang pipe-laying ng Maynilad sa village namin. i'm still enjoying the use of my pressure washer ala carwash.

and iba talaga feel pag ikaw nag linis ng sasakyan mo. lately di nako masyado pagod whan i do my carwash and interior cleaning routine, nasanay narin katawan.

[renzo_d10]

Usually ano ba ratio ng soap-water ?

[greenlyt]

wash my car, halos every week wag lang may tugtog kami pag weekend,
microtex products gamit ko.
* renz gamit ko panukat yun takip ng car shampoo, mga two capfulls sa kalahating timba ng tubig ang ratio ginagamit

[shadow]

pahugas mo sa driver or katulong...Kung sino available kopal! mapspgod ka Lang niyan turuan mo na Lang kopal talaga!!!

[renzo_d10]

Iba din yung feeling pag naulanan yung kotse mo.

I'll consider the NXT then. Tamang tama, may carshow at the end of the month, baka may display with discounts.

Renzo, usually one to two caps depending sa size ng balde mo. May instruction naman.

*Shadow, dati yung isang katulong namin naturuan ko maghugas ng kotse ng maayos. Galing. Everyday, ang linis ng kotse namin; sayang nag retire na si Manang (with house and lot na sa probinsiya). Ngayon sariling kayod na ako sa bahay since pagod na rin yung all-around househelp namin sa luto-linis-laba tapos yung isa, sa kids nakatutok. Gusto ko magkadriver na ulit... irony of it all; nung bata pa ako, gusto ko walang driver (pero may family driver kami), ngayon na nagsarile at nagtratrabaho na, gusto ko na ng driver.

[greenlyt]
