after giving the car a new paint

[odell]

whats next?

[snyc3]

wait for a month or two then alaga mo sa waxing. observe the parts na mainit lagi like yun Roof and specially the hood. Coz this are the crucial parts. Paint & putty on this parts are really being fried by the Sun and Engine Heat itself. Pwede sya mag crack or bubbles. Observe also yun mga singit like those near the rubber or body moldings. Coz if the Paint Shop didn't remove this prior to painting, they have inserted a rolled tape or wire lang para umangat. Prob is minsan d naliliha mabuti so minsan umaangat din yun paints here... And sa night kiss the paint! hehehe

Good Luck

yes, make sure you do wait a month or two before putting any wax on. paint needs to fully cure before you can safely put wax on it.

thanks po..

so parang narinig ko dati sabe ni the veed na pag kakapaint lang.. water muna ihugas.. no soap.. tama ba?

p.s.
tama ba the veed?hehehe

kelan ka nagpapaint? may warranty ba pag nagbubbles? bilad mo sa araw para matuyo yung paint and para lumabas yung bubbles thyen ibalik mo while nasa warranty period pa nya.

the speed at which the paint job cures depends on what paint was used for the paint job.

kung polyurethane type, like anzahl or nippon PU, mabilis curing nyan compared sa acrylic type.

polyurethane paint cures by chemical reaction (cross linking is the technical term), while acrylic paint, like RM, cures by solvent evaporation, meaning the paint job only cures -- or more appropriately -- dries when all the solvent from the paint evaporates. The latter is an inherently slower process.

so tama na wag mo muna apply-an ng wax para maka evaporate muna yung solvent. two months might be too long. In fact, keeping your car in a hot, dry area but with good ventillation may help accelerate the curing process.

The wax will protect your paint job from premature damage due to the sun, dusts, grains of sand, moisture (hamog), bird droppings etc. Usually binabuff ng mga pintor ang paint job before finally applying wax.
Tama din na water lang, using soap will strip away the wax or worse, the glossly finish of your paint job.

hope this helps.

got my car washed over. i got it last week. generally OK naman yung trabaho but I noticed that there are some uneven portions on the hood.. parang mapa. di naman obvious when you look at the car but at certain angles, lumalabas sya.

may remedyo pa kaya to? the job has a 1year guarantee so im planning to bring it back to shop. mga after how many weeks kaya ideal.? I fear na baka may mga lumabas pa e.. darn.
:confused:

tapos, may isang sulok sa pinto na parand may pinholes da topcoat.. di naman bula na galing ilalim..kaya pa siguro to ng sanding no?

tnx.

revive ko lang to. pano lilinisin ung bagong paint? tubig lang talaga? kailangan ba lagya ng wax ng pintor ung paint kagad tulad nung sabi ni rsnald? sabi kasi sa taas kelangan walang wax.

salamat

visit the detailing thread. andun..

[flakez]

actually, i've searched the detailing thread but can cant seem to find the answer that i want. since the last post about this topic is years ago, i opted to post my question here.

how do i clean my car after a new paint? since odell posted that i should use only water when cleaning the car, is it true? AFAIK(according to the detaling thread), that i should use shampoo to lift of the dirt from the paint and produce some lubrication.....

[theveed]

for the first week or so, just wash it down often to remove dust. there's really nothing you can do to protect it other than not use it since glazes don't really offer much protection.

after a week or so, just wash it often with a good car shampoo and water (of course).

after 2-3 months, take care of it like any other paint.

eh kung ginamitan ng oven yung auto pag pa-repaint, kasing tagal din ba?

[theveed]

ask the painter, they know what paint they used, their flashpoints and curing time.

[jumpman138]

let me just ask na din...newbie here who got his car painted, peal white kaya medyo todo research ako on maintenance..hehe

so after a week of gettin the car, i should, or it's advisable to glaze it once or twice a week, tama ba? wash with water daily or as often as possible...then have it waxed after a month or so...

i don't have a garage for my car it's really a problem...i'm thinking of buying a car cover too...already bought a microtex duster since the cali brand is too expensive IMO.

would this suffice in maintaining the paint and luster of my new paint...?


TIA =)
