Im currently using elevo brand. I do have the more thicker type of cover.

Pros:
Smooth inside cover
Has a reflector at the front, sides and rear

Cons:
Water passes in the stitch marks.

Just want to share this.

Kaninang umaga nakita ko yung car ng kaibigan ko. Napansin ko yung gasgas sa likod ng car na parang ginamitan ng rubbing compound. Napansin ko yung sides ng scratch nadamay and parang nasira yung clearcoat and nawala yung pagiging smooth ng paint. So sinubukan ko gamitan ng step1 ng mothers at ang galing effective medyo nakarami din ako ng buff and application. Tapos nilagyan ko ng IHG and wax then after bumalik yung dating color ng paint ang galing!

Hindi nya alam na ginawa ko yun sa car nya hehe

So ang conclusion ko sa Step1 Mothers:
Works very well on damaged clearcoats.

*Mau: Hehe Step 1 really helps improve paint condition, its very good at cleaning and it can also smooth out the paint very well without being too abrasive. its like it has some fillers of some sort that brings dull color back to life, really great product, until now it never fails to impress me especially for its cheap price. Hows your car BTW?

*chickselog: as for the first picture i think Moms step 1 and 2 can probably improve/fix that. for the 2nd and 5th picture Moms step 1 could probably improve its color and add gloss to it, im not sure about the stains and scratches though, as for the 3rd picture, same comment as above but those windshield washer residues are nasty its like it bleached the paint through, Moms step 1 could probably lessen the white stains and improve its color but im not sure if it can take out everything, also i would suggest you add more water or use a less stronger windshield washer fluid, thats what happened to my other car and i had to apply an abrasive polish just to remove it, as for the 4th picture thats paint cracking and chipping already, the best Step 1 could do it reduce the dull paint and help thin out the crack lines, it would help in hiding it from afar but if you look closer you could still see the lines of the crack although after step 1 it should be cleaner and thiner.

Same sya sa picture 1

Balak ko ulitin yung step1. Baka kasi hindi enough yung nilagay ko na step1 and kulang sa pressure. Sa palagay mo ok lang kaya yun? As of now plan ko magpatint sa saturday.

ikaw po ba ito? http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8952/img5158sk.jpg
Dami mong tools ah hehe pwede ba magpadetail sayo?

Ganda mo din ah!

Facebook naman dyan! apir!

Any suggestions for a good color of tint.
Gusto ko sana hindi visible sa side and rear. Ok lang kahit visible sa front

Color green or near blue green yung car.
