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

[benchman]

Bakit po kaya ganon,parang my misconception na wag masyadong mgwax on your car's first year kasi nakakacause yon ng cracks sa kotse. Imagine advice ng tga toyota na kapitbahay ng friend ko kasi nakakasira ng paint yon which is totally opposite sa mga nababasa ko dito. Nakakaconfuse lalo na sa mga newbies like me.alin ba tlga ang totoo dito?

kamusta naman kaya ang hitsura ng auto nung tiga toyota na iyon, kung meron man. typical na comment na iyan nang mga walang naiintindihan sa mga pinag-sasabi nila

Haha! Ang kulit nung taga toyota na yun ah. Mukang lumang wax pa gamit nya. Hehehe.

Yung mga sina-unang wax, para mka tulong sa pag pakintab ng paint, my mga fine abrasives. Kaya you will notice brands putting on their label, "pure carnauba" which doesnt contain fine abrasives. Ngayon ang mga wax na may fine abrasives and chemical cleaners, eto na yung tawag natin ngayon na cleaner wax, cleans and protects your paint in one step. But you only use this every 3 months or as needed lang.

Pero kahit my abrasives yung wax, parang malabo ata mg crack ang paint. Baka naiputan or npatakan ng dagta yung sasakyan kaya nagka crak.

Ganito rin yung sinabi saken ng kasama ko sa trabaho. Tapos may side comment pang- masyado mo kina karir pag wa wax sa kotse mo. Sa inis ko eto sagot ko - kelan ka ba natutong mag maneho at nag ka kotse, di ba last year lang? Dame mo alam. Tameme sya.

Kaya nga for newbies like me,nkakaconfuse. So ngresearch ako sa internet,wala akong mkitang nakakacrack ng paint ang pgwawax.wrong notion pala tlga ng common na tao yon. Though nabola ako ng paniniwalang yan ha for more than 3 months since i got my new car,napaniwala akong wag muna mgpawax.haha. i wanna do it by myself though andon yong kaba na baka ako mkascratch sa kanya. Haiiist...gusto kong itry. Ive been backreading this thread to see kng my nakapost ba na guidelines for proper application of wax pero wala akong mbasa.sa umpisa ng forum i know andon yong procedure pgcar wash pero yong sa wax application wala akong mhanap.my nkapost ba dito guys? Do you think a newbie like me is capable of waxing my car?ano po ba kau ngstart?1st car nyo kayo na agad ngwax or pinagawa nyo sa iba?

Applicable lang yung bawal iwax sa mga newly painted cars, sa mga newly painted cars...advisable na wag muna iwax at least for 1month kase nagccure pa yung paint sa loob...ang wax kase parang sealer sya so di advisable mag wax agad kung newly painted yung auto. Para sa mga bnew cars, even after 2 weeks pagkuha mo pwede mo na iwax kung nawala na yung kintab....kase for sure cured na yung paint ng auto bago nila ilabas sa planta. With regards naman sa interval ng pag wax, ang advise eh every 3months but maybe you can do it every month kung talagang bugbog sa ulan and bilad sa araw yung car....pero kung hindi I suggest do it every 2 or 3mos and just maintain the paint with quick detailer or quick wax in between waxes and syempre give your car a regular car wash specially kung daily driven yung car.

Sa youtube po may mga video ng proper procedure ng pag wax, with regards to your question if you are capable of waxing your own car...yes definitely, but do research first on how to properly wax a car. Another way is to bring your car sa reputable detailer and ipawax mo dun then panoorin mo pano ginagawa nila para next time ikaw na :-)

Matagal sir, sa once a week na gamit, as long as babanlawan mo palagi after use and wash it once or twice a month, baka more than a year bago ka mag palit.

Salamat po. Banlaw tubig lang po ba?

Yes sir, tubig lng

Maam, once na matutunan mong mag wax di mo na ipapa hawak yan sa iba[emoji4]. Nung una kong nag paint protect at wax, pinagawa ko sa iba. Binantayan ko, i asked a lot of questions. Ni videohan ko pa nga. Bago rin ako bumili ng wax at paint protection, inulan din ng questions yung seller from me. Gladly, she's kind enough to answer all my qurries. Read, ask and watch and take notes.

Sabi ni sir starex_gold 915 umaabot ng 3-4 weeks.
Sabi ni sir sebastian bach 845 2-3 weeks...

Sir makyong nakatry ka na ba gumamit nito? I was about to buy nano glos and nano sliq sa ace hardware kanina ng nirecommend sakin ito ng salesgirl.sabi nya para daw sa bagong kotse ito para mamaintain ang gloss.do i really need to apply this?

[Starex_Gold]

Sa totoo lang, kung umabot ng 3 weeks ang beading at protection effect maswerte na tayo eh. Tsaka depende pa rin kasi yan sa maintenance na gagawin every after wash.

Tignan ko yun sa iX35 ko. Sobrang dumi kasi ginamit ko sa Manila nung weekend. Baka bukas hugasan ko tapos observe ko.

For sure naman yun dulas mawawala na agad eh. Hehe

Kung durability ang hanap niyo, 476 talaga matindi. Hindi ko pa nasusubukan yun 845 pero I think it's less durable than my 915 since it is a liquid wax. Kung shine at moderate protection ang gusto niyo, 915 it is. Napaka tipid gamitin. Pinahiram ko na nga sa mga kaibigan ko yun 915 pero hindi pa rin nangangalahati

Ma'am, di pa pako ako nakaka gamit nyan.
May i suggest you try KLASSE twins ( klasse all in one + klasse sealant glaze ). Then patungan mo ng collinite 915/845/476. Then any quick detailer OF your choice for maintenance.

glaze is usually a step 2 product for paint seal/leveling/correction to hide imperfections. no experience with 3m glaze yet pero just to show you what its counterparts sa mothers and microtex do, below is a pix showing how the swirls were reduced after application. cant remember which part is mothers and which is microtex or kung nahalo ba yung dalawa. BTW, afaik nano glos is step 3 product so siguro it can be used with the 3m glaze as step 2. the microtex step 2 counterpart is nano sil and step 1 nano fil.

share ko na rin result of claying + all 3 steps ng microtex on habanero red, kahit redundant na step1 and claying. yung silver and bronze paints di pa ako ginaganahan picturan kasi parang wala lang after ma detail but maybe soon ganahan ako dahil medyo iba at mas maaganda results nakukuha ko recently with TW Ice, thanks to recommendations sa thread na to. hehe

This is a glaze, meaning will just help amp the shine, no protection at all. Its not meant for brand new cars, it is meant for newly painted cars, in which bawal ang wax (except optimum car wax) this glaze will allow the paint to breath until it cures completely and still make it shiny, hirap lang tanggalin.
