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

[red_one]

Some brand new car owners, pinapa-Full Exterior Detailing agad ang kotse. Otherwise known as Paint Protect. Then maintain na lang aftewards. Kahit kasi brand new car, possible na may orange peel, swirls, at embedded contaminants na.

Pero kung satisfied ka na sa hitsura ng brand new car mo, then apply wax or sealant na lang. Use spray wax after every car wash.

Ay sorry mali basa ko. Haha nag back read ako less 300 un qd ng microtex hindi yun elite. Sorry anyway same price lng un elite natin pinag kaiba lang may less pa un akin. Regarding sa elite sulit yan for drying your car kht suv pa yan walang piga piga basta tama un banlaw mo sa kotse mo.

nagtataka nga ako bakit walang L nakalagay eh
size nya is 2ft x 3ft (total of 5 sq ft) according to website din.

Ano strategy nyo for drying using microtex elite? I try to follow yun guide provided by our thread starter, pero unlike some of the guys here, hindi ko natatapos compact sedan ng walang piga.

Laging 2 towels ako. Microtex elite yun first wipe, sort of using it to push water away. Then followed by a smaller mf towel(in my case meguiars).

If too much water is left after rinsing (ie. the water does not sheet off) then perhaps kelangan muna mag wax. Usually isang Elite towel lang kelangan ko para patuyuin yung accord or jazz, pero kung suv or auv makakatulong cguro kung may silicon blade ka to remove excess water first.

^ditto
make sure sa rinsing mapa-sheet mo yung excess water.

Why limit yourself to 2 pcs? Use plenty of microfiber towels. The more, the better. I have 4 pcs large microfiber towels for drying the vehicle. 1 pc for initial wipe and 3 pcs for the final wipe.

Use squeegee (silicone blade or rubber blade) on windshield and glass only. You risk scratching the car if you use it on the painted panels.

How about that 3 step detailing na alok ng mga detailer? Advisable ba siya ipagawa agad?

May mga nakakasabay kasi ako mga bago din (i assume) pinapa 3 step agad.

cns thanks!

Magkano ba usually ang pa car wash ngayon, yung standard na presyohan? Meron kasi malapit samin 150.

And also, ano yung 3 steps na yan?

[cast_no_shadow]

Dun sa pinupuntahan ko 900 car wash, vacuum, tire black, punas sa loob, asphalt removal then double wax last yung quick detailer.

Microtex gamit nila.

Nung naka 3 balik na ako, napaisip na ako bumili ng sarili ko product and mag DIY kaso until now di ko pa nagagawa hehe

Yun 3 steps may rubbing ata kasama dun.

If you have not waxed your car since purchase, then time to do it. Wax protects the paint from the elements and oxidation, aside from making your car look good and easier to clean.

Thanks sir!

Ano specific na brand ba ng wax ang maganda for black colored car? may specification ba by color? Saan nakakabili ace? concord?

I'm not sure kasi kung updated yung nasa first page and for sure natanong na ito kaya lang mahirap mag back read 300+ page thread.

Wax protects the paint from the elements and oxidation, aside from making your car look good and easier to clean. So if you have not waxed your car yet, it is time to do so now.
