Fine Scratches After Waxing..

**lance_uy** · January 5th, 2005 01:19 PM

Help guys,

i noticed some fine scratches after i waxed my car...

1. What kind of towels do i have to use whenever i have to wipe off the dried wax? And where can i buy it and how much narin each? hehe, thanks in advance!

2. And also, what can i apply to get rid of the fine scratches? it can't be easily noticed outdoors, but it is really noticeable under a flourescent lamp, e.g. an indoor parking. Yung konting rubbing lang sana, sumasakit na kamay ko sa mga scratch removers eh! thanks in advance!

3. Normal lang po ba na may waxy residue afterwards? Or did i applied too much? (actually kuripot na nga ako mag-apply eh, hehe! And I don't have a machine to buff it afterwards kasi eh...) thanks in advance!

1. Use cotton based towels or a washing mitten (around 100 Php sa Handyman). A simple test also is to rub the cloth on your skin. If it hurts you then it will definitely hurt the clear coat of your ride. Usually yung fine scratches na yan is caused by minute particles (like dust, etc.). Be sure to wash your ride muna using car shampoo and water then let dry saka mo i-wax.

2. Mahirap tanggalin ang fine scratches although you can use a rubbing compound after you wash your ride the next time around.

3. Waxy residues are normal. ok lang kahit marami kang wax nai-apply yun nga lang pahirapan sa pagtanggal ng residue.

1. bili ka sa big bert's ng microfiber cloth nila...sorry, nalimutan ko na price eh...check their contact number sa signatrure ni theveed...

2. & 3. pa detail mo na lang sa big bert's para less hassle and for best results... ikaw na lang siguro bahala sa maintenance...

thanks for all of your replies! although i have a few more questions...

jim,
anong rubbing compound yun? what kind and brand do you recommend? matatanggal ba lahat ng marks?

chieffy,
umm, my ride is new palang kaya nakaka-hinayang i-pa detail agad, wouldn't it rub down my paint if i have it detailed fully? or maintain and ipon ko nalang muna yng scratches para mas sulit?

thanks 323f, sige, will buy a couple of those when im near bigberts uli!

thanks silhouette! will see.. hehe! tsk tsk.. gastos eh! wala na nga akong pang-gas eh! hehe

thanks in advance!
