"Tamang OC lang" - a newbie's guide to car appearance maintenance

[vinrem]

No need to worry sir, our cars are bound to have swirls din naman, gusto lang natin ay matagal sila mag accumulate to prolong integrity ng clear coat ng mga sasakyan natin.
Actually the less you touch the paint of your car, the lesser of chances you inflict damage sa paint.
I remember way back, I was able to maintain my red car swirl free. Just by regular washing, i try to avoid doing excessive cumpulsive "QDing", napansin ko na nagkakaron parin ng swirls kahit my QD.
Best parin is carwash, it provides proper lubrication. If gusto mo palagi malinis, use rinseless wash nalang, and use several towels in doing this. Advantage mo lang is hindi gano ka noticeable ang swirls sa light colored cars.

Hahaha... You made my day sir, kasi sarap mag drive ng car if malinis eh kaya I have a habit na maglinis ng car everyday, hehehe

What is your objective sir? Or what end result are you looking for? Shinier? More durable?

Not really sure if you will indeed notice a step up of shine when using this, since your now using a good product combination. But definitely you will be able extend the life of your existing wax. Best is to apply product while the vehicle is still wet. Hope this helps

I use mothers reflections advanced spray wax. Sinasabay ko sa pagtuyo ng car right after the wash. Mas madali.

oh boy, sabi ko na nga ba eh, may mali, hay, I've been doing this for almost a month na to my new car, I hope it's not too late, what will I do to correct this Sir kitoy?

Ano color ng car mo? You have to use some sort of light to see swirls and scratches in the paint. You need to get close and inspect hehehe.

Depende bro, mga 5yr old cars kita talaga or at times malalim na yun damage kahit 3 months palang.

My car is pearl white.

Kaya siguro wala pa swirls coz of slightly better clear coat from the factory.

A car wash offered me their glass coating service, I'm thinking of getting one, the weather or pollution here are very harsh, I'm in China by the way. What do you think of glass coating? Is it worth it compare to just waxing the car every month?

For me, yes it is really worth it, but also it depends on the brand that your getting. I have a 9 month old coating in my ride, just maintaining it with regular washing. Dirt, asphalt and other contaminants still sticks to the paint, but is easily removed by washing. My car stays cleaner longer, and if it rains hard, my hood and roof becomes clean again. This is how it looks like now.

Bale sir you just wash the car and that's it? No need to wax, qd, etc? How much does it cost diyan sa pinas? Dito kasi they're offering me around 40k pesos for the whole car.

Yes no need to wax, i prefer not to use qd also, since these things that we put on top of the coating prevents or masks self cleaning properties, hydrophobic properties, etc of the coating, which then defeats the purpose of the coating IMHO.
Here depending on the brand of the coat, it can range from P20K-P50k.

Guys quick tips naman po on how you dust your car?

I use microtex duster, pero i usually end up using MF towel + QD dahil nun fibers na naiiwan sa duster..

Can i loose the duster, and derecho na lang? Or will i just create micro scratches?

Thank you.
