October 4th, 2009 01:41 AM #1Hi detailing experts
I was unable to wash my car for more than 2 weeks, since the time when Ondoy was about to strike until today. Luckily I wasn't flooded during Ondoy, but when I was washing my car today, I noticed there's a lot of stubborn rough areas in the paint, as if a very sticky adhesive has just been lifted off the paint in some areas, especially upper portions of the car (hood, roof).
I already tried washing thoroughly with Meguiars NXT Car Wash, then re-applied some NXT Wax. I'm still disappointed at the results because the rough areas are still rough while the rest of the paint is already very slick. I even followed up the rough areas with Megs UQD, but nothing.
I suspect it was because of the rain water that stuck onto my paint and was never washed away for weeks, combined with the sticky humidity.
Will claying solve my problem? Or do I need to resort to polishes or some other treatments?
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Bring it to Big Bert`s or any detailing shop for Analysis regarding your paint issue what to be done . They know more about it and encounter it many times that problem.

October 4th, 2009 09:59 AM #3Medyo ang daming nagpapa-detail ngayon sa mga shops (dahil ata sa Ondoy pa rin) kaya sana as much as possible I'd like to try what I can do by myself, with some advice from fellow tsikoteers, before I bring it to the pros.

October 4th, 2009 01:47 PM #8And I thought I would not need to clay my car this early (wala pang one year old ang kotse ko). Before this, it never got dirt this sticky. I never even had to shampoo the car before. Alaga kasi ito before sa Megs UQD twice a week, and then NXT 2.0 every month. Kaso nung pina-repair ko yung nakaskas na paint ng bumper ko, hindi ko nalinis ng matagal... ayun ang inabot.

akin din naman eh. nung mag clay ako sa FD, 7 months old palang at yung Optra naman, 3 months newly painted palang.
di naman kasi namimili ng kakapitan ang dumi. kahit bago o luma.

October 4th, 2009 03:03 PM #10Lancer EX. 6 months old pa lang. Buti na lang hindi naman halata yung nakadikit na dumi, unless padadaanan ng kamay.
3M Color Stable series are all above 50% TSER. RFID readable through the tint, stays good for...
What's the best car tint brand and color?
