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

[mhvNodagal]

Supplies from ginnova.



Rainy season na, pahirapan na naman mag normal 2 buckets and hose rinsing. will try UWW+ with shine and buff waterless wash microfiber towel. Nag dagdag na din ako ng KSG. Wolfgang spritz gloss sealant is free for the whole purchase.

Forgot to mention, bought from reflections-carcare.com (Ginnova). I usually buy microfiber clothes from him, mas mura compared sa microtex.

rain or shine; i use 2 bucket method also every time i do rinse less wash with UWW+

Would love to do that, Kaya Lang pag umuulan, nasa garahe yung sasakyan, pag nag 2 bucket plus hose rinsing ako, mababasa yung iba kung gamit sa garahe, Kaya no choice na mag waterless wash ako. Pero pag Maputik, hose down ko muna with pressure washer sa labas (syempre, park ako wet look na din, hehehe), tapos saka ko i waterless wash sa loob ng garahe).

Newbie here. Again thank you sa. OP and sa ibang mga inputs!daming learnings dito. Very informative.
Meron akong dilemma
Just bought my car last June and I clean my exterior once a week doing what OP said on the first page except for the waxing part. My problem is walang bubong ung parking ko and it's alway raining at night. Anong Mai suggest nyo for my daily maintenance?
Do I wash it with water then dry with chamois? Or can I use microtex nanosliq as waterless? Or any other suggestions?
Sorry if this question was asked before nasa page 30 pa lang ako ng thread.

i don't think there's a paint product protection or procedure out there, that can cover your rooflessness.
perhaps you can have a roof constructed. in my opinion, it's worth the expense.
i have a roofed garage at home, and in the workplace (well, 50% of the time)... my paint job still looks mint, even after 10 years. i don't even wax and polish.

Itong rainy season madalas may droplet marks yung car... If recently waxed, do you guys always go through with shampooing when you have to remove water marks? Or pwedeng water then wipe dry nalang? Or another method?

a good quick detailing product would be fine for the job.

Best option is to have a roof installed ... if possible ... maybe buy one of those portable tents or have one built ...

^ This one. Mag budget ka para sa roof or tent. Kahit yung sakto lang para sa sasakyan mo.

Un nga ang problem kasi I'm studying here In Baguio and ayaw pumayag ng land lord ko kahit simple tent lang. Good investment na din sana kahit tent.

Hmmm. Invest ka nalang sa car cover just make sure na laging free from dust sasakyan mo bago mo icover. Or better yet. Coat mo muna ng wax and sealant bago mo icover. Para makagasgas man ng konti. Ung wax or sealant lang madadamage.

Mga sir ano marerecommnd nyo watermark remover both on glass and paint?

Mga sir ano marerecommnd nyo watermark remover both on glass and paint?

Sa glass, I use elevo (DON'T ever use this sa paint). Sa paint, pag alaga sa car wash and wax, a normal car wash will do. Pag Hindi kaya ng normal 2 bucket wash method, KAIO will do. Nung wala pa ako KAIO, gamit ko yung microtex nanogloss (You can also try optimum's MDR, but I haven't personally tried it yet). Pero pag di natanggal, baka naka etch na yung watermark, so last time gumamit ako ng optimum poli-seal. Worst case, need na ng machine polishing.

Antay tayo ng reply and recommendations sa mga master detailers natin.


Edit: kinorek ko lang yung "wrong" autocorrect [emoji51]

MDR works great! Very easy to use. I've used it on paint and glass, works like a charm. Got mine from Reflections (Ginnova).

Mga sir how much kaya? Di na kaya ng car wash lang. Sobrang diin na ng pag punas ko with shampoo ayaw talaga mawala.

Best drying towel? Is it still the chamoies or stick to MF?
I'm thinking of using MF elite by microtex.

I've gotten great results with an air blower plus a slightly damp waffle-weave microfiber drying towel (for the stray droplets).

[Walter]

For drying towels, do not go beyond 500 threads ...
