question about waxing your car?

**Cardo818** · July 1st, 2004 08:28 PM

one test you can do when your car needs wax is that, when the surface does'nt feel like glass when you rub/glide your finger on the surface... or when water does'nt bead anymore...

tama ba theveed?

regarding cleaner waxes like the one i use (mother's) is it true that it is bad for the paint if use it all the time as a regular wax, kasi d b it has abrasives? i noticed my red paint got better since using cleaner wax, much deeper yung color pero dont know the effect in the long run.... one more thing how long does cleaner waxes last on your paint compared to a pure wax?

Cardo: Yes and no... Beading doesn't directly correlate with the existence of the product. I'd say the height of the beads will have a better indication. Also, when applying QD sprays, a non-wax surface will most likely streak. As for the smooth as glass thing, with the pollutants that bond to the surface of our paint, it's not a good indication. The contaminants can bond onto the layer of wax/sealant itself and will not be smooth, but the wax is still there. It's not really something quantifiable - durability that is.

alvin: cleaner waxes are NOT abrasive, they contain chemical cleaners not abrasives. Don't worry about it, most consumer line cleaner waxes are very mild and are very safe.

assuming prepped na paint po... black will look good with waxes with high quantities of fillers.

sir theveed,
ano ba dapat gamit kong pang carwash sa black paint? pag hindi naagapan to, sigurado puro swirl marks ang kalalabasan. maselan pa naman ang black.

daan na lang uli siguro ako sa shop mo, den pa tutor na din!

pepengtom,
gamit ka ng fibre cloth sa carwash, wag ka pagamit ng chamois sa carwash.. mas mabuti pa siguro eh ipahiram mo na lang sa carwash boys yung mga basahan mo hehe
