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 .

+1...kung alikabok lang or konting patak ng ulan, tama na sa akin ang tubig lang. pero once a week lang ako naghuhugas ng oto kasi walang oras... ewan ko lang ngaun tag ulan; wala ako garahe...

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.

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...

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.

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

sa awa ng diyos di naman....kasi hi-pressure water ang gamit ko...pinasipat ko nga sa casa yung body paint ko kasi nga tubig lang gamit ko..kasi nga araw araw ko pinapaliguan then di naman masyado nadudumihan kasi dito-dito lang byahe ko...tho kako kasi once a month paalaga ko sa iba...like shampoo etc...kasi yung tanong kung everyday....sinagot ko lang naman..

:huh: :huh:

spongee,

I don't mean to be rude, but as far as that "car-shampoo-will-fade-your-paint" thingy mentioned by your friend, its pure B-A-L-O-N-E-Y

[mmanson]

may chemicals nga ang car shampoo. but in right formulation. and kaya may "rinsing part" e. siyempre you will not let the car shampoo dries up on your paint so, kasama ng dirt yung car shampoo sa drain. parang pag nagto-toothbrush ka. idudura mo rin naman yung toothpaste (na kasama ng germs) after.

[theveed]

The "chemical" statement is quite silly actually, H2O itself is a chemical.
