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

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.

What I did was ibinalot ko muna sa dyaryo yung microtex duster ng isang araw para maalis ang sobrang paraffin wax. No streaking sa painted surface.

for me duster pa rin 1st step. mas matagal dudumi yung towel at mabawawasan o tanggal na din yung mala buhanging alikabok. di bale yung fiber kasi di naman nakakagasgas. pag naluma na yang duster mawawala na yang fibers

If you have a good wax and sealant pwede duster on light dust. Otherwise forget using a duster.

Thanks guys, try ko mga suggestions niyo..

Another thing regarding car wash po..

Usually when i wet the car (using garden hose) wini-wipe ko din using cheap mf towels, bale i do that before i use the carshampoo and washmit.. Am i doing it wrong?

Scratch bro hehehe.

When pre rinse use water to wash away light dirt never use mf cloth at this stage..

then use the car wash solution and mf mit

Arggh.. Sabi ko na parang mali eh.. Nakikita ko kasi practice ng mga carwash boys.. Thanks sa tip.

Yup i'm still clinging on the usual duster + mf-qd regimen..

My crazy mind asks if pwede bang gawin pseudo-QD ang mga carwash products? I mean, if i will dilute them with water and put them in a sprayer? Meron kase ako mga left-overs na carshampoo, polyglaze and turtle wax.. Di ko na kasi nagagamit since nagshift ako sa microtex.. Would it serve my purpose and give good results? Or should i stick with the usual QD's?

Thanks again.

Kung gagamit ka rin lng ng qd might as well skip the duster. Mura lng naman mf clothe. Wet with qd = less scratches.

Dusters get dust not sand. They drag sand along surfaces.

May question din ako, if it rain and your car is wet and then it stopped raining, is it OK to wipe off the water using mf towel or like microtex elite drying towel? Let say after the rain uminit na. Ano ang steps na ginagawa nyo?

What if it still park outside the house and the car is still clean but with a little dust accumulated from overnight parking but wet from the rain lang sir? Should I still wash it or dry it with drying cloth with sprayed qd?

that calls for no rinse wash with ONR for me, works like a charm.

Usual wash and dry is still the best on this scenario sir. But if you just washed the car the day before, spray qd then let it sit for a couple of minutes then dry with MF towel(s). Or better yet, wait for your next scheduled wash.

[vinrem]

Thanks for the inputs sir, maybe my next step is to look for a store who sells onr here in my place, I'm living in a small city here in China BTW, it seems onr is a good product, I searched the Internet and malaking tulong daw ang onr when cleaning the car during winter period

question: ano difference ng optimun no rinse wash and shine vs wash and wax?

question: ano difference ng optimun no rinse wash and shine vs wash and wax?

onr saves my time washing my ride like dirt after driving with drizzle to moderate rain. there's should be wax still on your car for optimum results.
the way i look at it, onr isn't stripping my wax. yet it prolongs my wax' life on the car.

Are you pertaining to Optimum's rinseless wash and wax?

Are you pertaining to Optimum's rinseless wash and wax?

yes. there are 2 types the "wash and shine" and the "wash and wax". was reading through their pagr. halos pareho lang ang description except one is may wax daw. yung shine naman says kikintab din daw.

can i use any of the two for QD? i was back browsing and found some comments na 1:16 daw sa dilution. tama ba o soba labnaw na neto?

Tama sir, difference lang ay my wax yung isa, gives more shine the your regular ONR.

Yes you can use both for QD, and correct din yung dilution. Para hindi ka mahirapan, you buy a spray bottle with graduation up to 500ml. Put 1oz or 30ml of ONR/ONRWW, then fill with distilled water up to 500ml mark.
