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

[red_one]

Some products are priced cheap to attract buyers but don't last long. I find it better to invest on higher priced brands but with longer durability. Even if the product is more expensive, you would only need to apply it on your car twice a year. A bottle or can would literally last you several years.

thanks bro! finishing it now hehehe
buti nalang maaga nagising.
lastly bro, after doing this prep, puro carnuaba na moving forward? tapos every 2 months nalang yung nanofil and nanosil?

Bro, it depends on the durability of the products.

NanoFil/NanoSil are supposed to hide swirls and blemishes away. If those defects are becoming visible again, then it is time to re-apply NanoFil/NanoSil. For carnauba wax, once you notice less or no water beading, you can re-apply wax.

Tip: Before applying wax, sprinkle or spray water on car hood. Observe and remember the water beading effect. Take a photo if you want to. Repeat this after applying wax. Now, you know what water beading looks like with and without wax. After your next car wash, repeat this step to test if there is still enough wax on the car.

Sakin ginawa ko is hinayaan ko yung wax ng mga 10 minutes bago ko alisin. Tanggal ang watermarks.

Bakit hindi pwede?

I don't think idol na meant yung collinite 845 sa glass.. D ko pa na try.. D ko rin gusto mag wax sa windshield ko dahil mag cause ito ng chatter sa wipers. Prefer ko yung for glass talaga to be safe..

I read on Autogeek that some use it on their glass. Ok naman daw. Might cause your wipers to skip though so try nyo muna. I apply 845 on my headlights and taillights for additional protection. I use Glaz for my, uh, glass
