question about waxing your car?

[::TSX::mochi]

walang masama kung gusto mong mag-wax every week... pero i-suggest na aside from waxing, mag-clay ka rin once in awhile (maybe every 4 months).. this will make your waxing a lot better...

dinala ko yung revo sa bigberts. tanggal swirl marks atsaka yung mga gasgas ng mga pusa. kinailangan ng machine waxing.

poging pogi na! :D

One more tip... don't use those "pranellas" or those worn out rags... unless you want scratches all over your car. Get one of those micro fiber cloths from BigBerts (May stock na ba Vince?)

1. Wala na po bang alternative dun sa microfiber cloths na yun? yan ba ung 3M?
2. How true yung sinasabi nilang 'ibabad' ung wax on your car even just overnight para kumapit mabuti?

Tnx po!

maybe you're talking about curing the product on the car.. (optimally, katulad ng Klasse SG) pero yung iba products naman, lalo na ang carnauba-based waxes, once it flashes, product removal na kagad. for ex., I wouldn't risk doing this with Soft99 RainHop or even Mom's ...

durability-wise? I think i can't help you with that because I wax every week. usually ganito:

application (5-10 mins) in thin layers para mabilis
product flash (depende, ngayon carnauba ako so I give it 15 mins tapos I swipe it with a finger to see if its good to go..)
product removal (5-15 mins)

*hindi ko na ginagawa yang overnight.

BTW, there's also the risk of more contaminants (dust, minute dirt...) landing on the surface while letting your product flash for an extended period of time, thereby introducing the added risk for scratches while buffing.

I like the idea of letting Klasse SG stay on my car overnight (even two days) bago tanggalin but I can't due to numerous real-world reasons.

Chief, ano ibig sabihin ng "flashing" sa wax? Thanks.

Tnx po!

In my experience, mas OK yung MicroTex kesa sa 3M. Madaling tumigas, mas mahal at mas maliit yung sa 3M kesa yung sa MicroTex.

hmm ganito: "flash off" : generally speaking, pag dry / nag-cure na / product reacts...

The extended drying period is an option rather than a requirement actually...

anyway, to continue dun sa last post, IMO, even the "24 hour cure time" sa Klasse is more of a convenient and conventional rule-of-thumb than any objectively determined rule. (ideally, rather.. hehehe)

anyway, fans of WOWO would say you don't even need to do *any* waiting before you buff and some will say that you don't need much wait time between coats at all.

Bro magkano binayad mo? Dalhin ko nga din sa Bigberts pag may natira sa budget.
