Quick question - I had my car washed yesterday.

I'm thinking of waxing it today. Do I have to have it washed again or do I just have to dust it off so I can apply wax?

This is where QD's comes in. Dusting may not be enough to remove all dust particles.You would not want dust particles being grinded to you paintwork.

Actually I have a Microtex QD (forgot the name) but I don't know when to use it. I tried applying it right after I waxed my car but it didn't make a difference..

get the cali/microtex duster. works perfectly sa dust specially after waxing the car. walang swirl marks iniiwan.

Bought that duster na.. After removing the dust, anong product ang best gamitin? I still see some handprints eh, sabi quick detailer daw, not so sure what brand is the best.. Any suggestions?

you may want to try optimum car wax, meguiar quik detailer, mother's instant detailer, microtex nanosliq etc...

^^ good suggestions sir monty_GTV. among the list given, IMO, OCW is the most expensive while nanosliq is the cheapest. ONR can also be a good QD if diluted accordingly. :havefun:

nakaubos na rin ako ng 16 oz spray bottle ng OCW. yung mothers naka 2 na yata ako kasi pang lubricant ng clay. yung diluted ONR ginagamit ko lubricant during claying mas tipid.

sir, what is claying?

[monty_GTV]

sir, what is claying?

claying is the 2nd step when you do detailing or paint correction process. the usual steps are washing > claying > polishing > waxing.

Don't mix up cleaner QDs with wax QDs.

So what would be the best cleaner QD boss? Nalito ako sa mga acronyms na pinagbibigay nila eh..hehe thanks

Your best economical cleaner QD will be water. Hahaha.. cleaner QDs is basically water + lubrication lang naman really.

The easiest to source will probably be Mother's Showtime... or that Eagle1 cleaner QD spray. But it's expensive if you look at the price per liter. If you plan on "investing", a diluted Optimum No Rinse will serve you very well.

Good evening sirs... tatanong ko lang if meron na nakapag-try ng "JML Mantis Instant Shine Spray Waterless Cleaner & Gloss ", nakita ko kanina sa Ace Hardware. Ok kaya?

What the best way to remove water marks?
I was thinking a regular wash & wax from a know detailer would do the trick, but unfortunately hindi pala kaya ito. Need talaga ng detailing specifically to tackle the watermarks. Although I was told na kaunti palang naman by the attendant - padamihin ko daw muna para sulit. However because my Montero is just 1 month old medyo naiinis ako knowing its there. Even the glass may water marks din.

If its too much trouble to do by at total noob such as myself... Pls recommend a shop I can go.

Thanks.

the attendant is wrong the longer you let the watermark linger sa paint mo, later on mag-etched na yan at mas mahirap na tanggalin. have it remove and have a wax or sealant to protect your paint. shop like bigbert's offer a paint protection program you can avail...

Thank you sir Monty_GTV

Naku po....Sabi ko na nga ba.

[jhnkvn]

Although what monty_GTV is correct, I wouldn't worry about month-long watermarks. I'll start worrying kung hindi mo pa pinapatangal in a year tho

Tumagal ng one year, ano yun hindi kinarwash ng isang taon?

I have tip pala mga bro regarding windshield glass. Buy the finest steel wool you can get, preferably 0000 fine, then use it to scrub the outer layer of your windshield. It will be better than claying your windsheild - removes the embedded debris and hard to remove marks and spots. Then wipe it down with a dry microfiber towel. Use windex or invisible glass after.

Works for me

Sirs where do you keep your waxes & QDs? Are the products safe when stored in the trunk? Or iwanan nalang sa garage?
