[micz03]

may nakapag try na po ba ng "Mantis MF cloth" softer and cheaper po sya sa ace, at eneendorse sya ng mga SA dun sa mall.

[rhadski]

Mga master, question lang po about sa stainz out. Pano po ba iapply to? Iaapply yung stainz out then ibbuff agad? Or magaantay na madry sya? And i ririnse din ba sya after? Thanks!

Noob question. After ko magwash using microtex shampoo, then drying using microtex chamois, sometimes may naiiwan pa din na dumi. Di ata nascrub ng mabuti. What's the best way to remove this? Shampoo and dry ba ulit on that panel? Btw, I'm also using the microtex wash mitt.

Also, what's the best product to remove small dirt if you don't plan on washing the whole car?

Not sure anung klaseng dumi na yung nae-experience mo. Baka need mo na mag Clay? just my 2 cents.

[sparkfly]

^ normal mud and dirt. Di lang naabutan ng maayos na scrubbing. When I wash it again, tanggal na. Yun lang nga I have to repeat the process of shampoo, rinse and dry. Sometimes kasi yung maliliit na spots nakikita ko lang after drying na. Meron kayang waterless cleaner para sa quick removal of those "missed spots?"

[krunch]

Yes try mo optimum waterless

Quick detailer pwede na rin para dun sa missed spots. Dami brands available na ok performance, i've used 3M, Mothers, Eagle One, Turtle Wax, Microtex. Kahit anong QD pwede sa small spots of dirt, just use a good plush microfiber towel para nde mag scratch surface.

[sparkfly]

^^ Thank you. After further reading, I learned that you can use ONR for that purpose. Maglagay lang sa sprayer with the right amount of distilled water, and you're good to go. Does Microtex have a cleaner QD? Nanosliq is a booster, right?

for newly painted car, ano recommended wax nyo? need ba ng cleaner wax or finishing wax lang? apply agad ng wax after car wash or need pa ng claying? 90 days na mula ng repainting so paint is fully cured.

Just a pure carnauba wax for protection is preferable. No need for cleaners since wala pa naman blemishes yun paint.

How do you clean your cars daily? What I mean is, you do a full car wash today, use the car and then tomorrow, you want your car as clean as possible again? Do you wash it again or do you just wipe it down if its not too dirty (scratches galore). Or do I tell the driver to just hose it down and wipe dry again?

depends on how dirty car is. i use Microtex Microfiber Duster daily until i feel the car needs to be washed na. wax your car every month or so for paint protection.

If its only dust, you may use waterless wash. from my experience, Mafra Fast Cleaner do the job for me and make my ride shiny again like newly washed car HTH

quick question, is Turtle Wax Carnauba Wax a bad product for your car's paint?

[chris_d]

quick question, is Turtle Wax Carnauba Wax a bad product for your car's paint?

No, I wouldnt say that its a bad product. There are just better waxes available (even from turtle wax). Dati madalas gamit ko yung turtle wax platinum.

Not a bad product. There's no "bad product" as long as it gets the job done. There are only preferences.

Sir ano kaya ang option next to nanoglos? Di kasi ako masyadong bilib sa kintab, hindi rin naman tumatagal. Malayo na kasi yung mga prices ng ibang nakalista sa guide eh. Salamat.

klasse sealant glaze sir, 3 weeks na umuulan day in day out... still hindi nawawala.
beading never stops, so far ito pinaka makunat at durable na nagamit ko...
kahit mag carwash ka pa paulit ulit, nandun pa din.
