    jojoico: Diba dati pa tong question? just wondering... basically you'll need to remove the haze caused by the compound... including the fine scratches a compound creates by using a polish.

    detailing gurus,

    after you have your car detailed, say 3step with sealant? how do you mantain it? do u still need to wax it everynow and then or pa wash-wash nlang? until when? sabi kasi sealants can lasts up to 3months...ata

    how do you keep the sealant from getting stripped.... para tumagal?

    txs...

    crossback,
    First step in maintenance would be to get hold of a good shampoo. Wash regularly with shampoo. You could apply a thin layer of pure wax (no cleaners) so that it will serve as the sacrificial layer. Cleaner wax, detergents, soap and cheap quality shampoos will strip the sealant. Hope this helps.
