maintaining black colored car

[ILuvDetailing]

max95fx03: Yup sa pinas. Its very dusty specially in the office, leave your car parked for about an hour and dust accumulates. Then the weather now is kinda unpredictable, it will rain hard then become sunny...

pano po ba yung water sheeting method na yan? kasi pag nag lilinis ako ang usual pocedure ko lang ganto.. advice naman kung may maiimprove pa! im using pressurized car washer

Well you have to you free flowing water (you can use a hose without any attachments), the idea is to let the water sheet off the panels leaving only a few droplets, this method is very effective if you regularly wax your car.

tama ba yung intindi ko? gumagamit ng pressurized washer? is it done before the car shampoo? if so, nakakagasgas yun di ba? pwede yun pang-rinse pero "hosing" down to start washing, di ko ginagawa yun. timba at tabo lang muna.

Usually most scratch removers out there are just swirls removers hehehe

Black is very challenging color to maintain

ILD :

i see ganun pala yun

yup sir before shampoo pero indirect naman yung buga ng tubig and pwede kasi controlin yung pressure so light lang parang ambon lang. para lang mabasa ng konti.. but malamang mag water sheet method nlang ako.

mga sir share nyo naman your cleaning technique :D

dami agad nagreply ah! hehe hirap pala ng black...hehe at least a challenge!

never park in direct sunlight -- this we have it covered, literally. coz my bro's parking slot has a roof. hehe

water sheeting method -- im more thinking of getting a water blade? or makakagasgas din ito ng finish ng car?

any waxes / sealants that are recommended? not too pricey ha? hehe

it's a black honda city (if ever we get it) so interior is beige, any tips on how to maintain it? except for really being careful not to soil the inside?

For me much better ang water sheeting method, although effective din ang cali water blade, maybe am not just comfortable using a cali water blade (sa windows ko lang ginagamit)

teka, di ba pagbagong wax ka eh beading effect ang nangyayari? so pag water sheeting method, as in nag-sheet ang water?? try ko kanina, it didnt work? may iba pa bang way to do that???? :confused:

when you use the water sheeting method, almost 50% ng water tanggal kagad. so faster drying time. like ILD said, this works best if your car still has its coat of wax working.

nope hindi beading (but expect a few) yung water kasi free-flowing ang paggawa.

Black is one of the hardest to maintain. parang graduate school of detailing na eh. BTW, madali matanggal ang wax on black / dark colors dahil sa temperatures generated. kaso nga lang, carnauba / depth is great on dark colors... *sigh*

you'll easily notice defects on black. on the opposite end naman, you'll get the best results too.

if you're car is a daily driver, invest in a good glaze to put under your LSP.

OT: 2 days pa lang ng thread andami kagad nag-reply sa Black-Color Maintenance thread... hehehe

never have it washed at your "kanto" washes.
Was it yourself. Use lots of water and good microfiber towels.
most important, dry carefully.
