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.

thanks for this tip bro, may nakapagsabi nga sakin nito, dishwashing liquid can strip of wax, kaya minsan gamit ko yung non-strip wax formula shampoo ng turtle wax, kaso nauubusan nga ako minsan ng car shampoo kaya joy at tide na lang ang ginagamit ko, then pagkatuyo apply na lang ulit ng panibagong wax, how about ordinary hair shampoo? nakaka-strip din ba ng wax yun?

[umi001]

Depends on the shampoo, and how diluted it is - also, hair shampoo is (generally) more expensive than car shampoo, as it has loads of additives for hair and skin that your car is unlikely to benefit from In fact, certain hair shampoos may not have enough cleaning power for vehicles - your hair generally doesn't get as dirty as your car Still, you can't really say how a particular hair shampoo will affect wax on your car - I really would recommend just getting a liter or two of car shampoo - as mentioned, Microtex is cheap and effective.

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.
