Question on carwash

[hops]

Question lang mga bro, ok lang ba mag carwash everyday (using water and car shampoo)? Hindi ba ito nakafade agand ng paint ng car?

Thanks.

just to share..i dont use car shampoo..no matter what it says in the label...it is still chemical..it'll fade ur carpaint in the long run..a friend of mine who is very good in taking care of his car told me..just to wash my car with plain water only...and since dust can be very abrasive, never make punas of ur car without wetting it first..and i mean wetting it thoroughly so as to make the dirt soft before u use those cleaning towels...then after sponge/towel washing with running water..towel it dry with the proper towel for drying...and it is advisable to wax ur car only every 6 mos...3mos the shortest.

hindi ko na ilalagay yung pang interior since OT na.

this is just to share my washing style..

btw...i wash my car everyday if i can...

Spongee: How do you justify your claim to those thousands of car enthusiasts who do use a shampoo every time they wash their vehicles and exhibit no paint fading over the past few decades?

Barbershop myths vs real-world facts. Your turf to defend your claims, actually.

I wash my car once a week only - due to lack of time. I don't use car shampoo.

Pwede, as long as nasa shade – nakakapagod lang at parang useless kung di
naman marumi pero kung may budget why not.

anyway, there's no problem with washing your car everyday. its in the materials and techniques that you use.

with regards to waxing, do it as often as possible. then sneak in a cleaner wax every now and then.

water everyday na lang, tutal dust lang naman, or maybe punas punas na lang with wet sponge.... kung talagang madaming dumi, putik saka na lang gamitan ng car shampoo .

no problem.. pero mas maganda maginvest ka na lang sa Cali Car Duster.. tapos wash car at lease once a week or pag naputikan, which means pag umulan- wash the car. Wax at least once a month, mas madalas pag umuulan.

Sa iba pwede na yung tubig lang pero gasgas (micro-scratches) talaga abot mo pag tubig lang especially kung dark yun kulay ng auto. you'll notice this pag gabi or against a light reflection... over time your paint will be dull.

How about the use of dishwashing liquid? Yung mga ibang nag ca carwash dito yun ang ginagamit nila. And when I asked them one time, sabi nila para mas madali daw punasan. But read that it can cause more harm than good...

Dishwashing Liquid is a big nono, why? Because it strips off wax, also it is not chemically designed for cars.

Washing or waxing your car everyday won't do any harm to your car, as long as you use the right tools and proper technique. Nakakapagod lang

car shampoo na lang.. di pa nakakatanggal masyado ng wax. some even have properties which lessen the occurence of watermarks.

its actually easier to clean a car with a car shampoo. mas umaangat ang dirt away from the surface. parang katawan ng tao siguro ang kotse.. iba pa rin pag naliligo ng may kasamang sabon kesa wala. hehehe sorry ot.

that's what i observed also. mas madali matangal ang dumi pagginamitan ng car shampoo. tama, hirap nga maligo araw araw ang tao without using shampoo. hindi basta basta matatangal ang oil sa buhok.

i use cali duster lang para wipe mga alikabok then car wash pag maputik or madumi na masyado.

ano gamit mo if not car shampoo?

Just plain water.

[jaspi11]

meron ako binili car shampoo pero madalas 2big lang din gamit ko.....once a week lang din ako mag car wash...

Ate sigurado ako puro gasgas na tsikot mo. Kasi yung tubig hindi naman kayang tanggalin ang alikabok na nakakapit saka pa lang natatanggal pag pinunasan mo na.

BTW gamit sa ride ko car shampoo with wax powder. Once a week na ligo, once in 2 weeks na wax napansin ko mas lalo pang kumintab yung kaitiman ng ride ko kala nga nila repaint na.

Thanks to tsikot naalagaan ko pintura ng sasakyan ko

Sir, hindi ba nakagasgas yung cali car duster pang tanggal ng alikabok? May nagsabi kasi sa akin na nakakagasgas din pag duster ang gamt mo.
thanks.

Nasa loob naman ng garage (covered ito at sarado) yung car. Pero grabe, ang bilis mag accumulate ng alikabok at kitang kita agad dahil black. Parang useless lang na linisan mo.

Actually, wala rin akong time mag linis pero yung father in law ko nasa house lang. Kaya siya yung nag cacarwash dahil nga ang bilis madumihan. Napapansin ko lang na dumadami na ang mga light scratches at swirl marks. Nakita ko lang one time na habang hinohose niya e sabay punas ng sponge (na walang soap). Hindi ba dapat basain niya muna thoroughly baog siya mag sponge? At siguro dahil planela lang ang gamit namin na basahan.

nope.. thin yung strands nya na may parafin wax.. saka igglide mo lang yung as car - not rub. the duster picks up the dirt..

yung mga normal duster kasi, made of fine plastic strands or the feather dusters, walang wax so magkakagasgas talaga.. and these types of dusters just push the dust parang walis.

basta gagamitin mo lang sa dry dust and you'll be fine.. basta pag nabasa ang kotse di na dapat dina-dust lang.. wash it.
