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

[venerzky]

Sana holy week na. Haha.

[OMNS19]

Would love time to detail my cars, looking forward to Holy Week also, pero sobrang init!

I think claying and polishing will easily remove the 845. I'll let you know. Grazie.

sa polish medyo matagal/madumi lalo na kung bagong lagay ang wax hehehe

I'm very much satisfied sa exterior paint detail ng car ko. Went to SM Hypermarket Tiendesitas kanina. Sa parking nagkasabay kami nung owner ng car na katabi ko. Bago ako makapasok he told me how shiny and kinis ng kotse ko. Hehehe. May nakakapansin din pala. Akala ko ako lang eh. Woohoo.

good for you bro! the OCness paid of na din!

Question po. How would you know if a cars paint and / or clear coat is not original already? May nakikita kasi ako sa used car dealers na nililiha nila ang car to the point na wala nang kintab pero kapag nakadisplay na eh parang walang ginawa.

Yeah. Thanks.

it wont tell with the untrained eye. re used car dealers; nagliliha sila for rebuffing purposes. removing swirls so to speak.

+1 sa BFWD bro. iba ang dulas ng hagod kapag nalagyan niyan, super slick it's one of my fav sealant, ganda sa black and other dark colors. im on my 2nd bottle now. btw, shake mo mabuti bottle during application, kasi minsan parang tubig ang nasa ibabaw. enjoy!

[paos]

Sir meron ba sa ace hardware ng black fire wet diamond? Para din po bang wax ang paggamit patutuyuin tapos buff?

[cast_no_shadow]

Noob question

for scratches ano ba mas best pan tanggal?

scratch remover or rubbing compound?

kelan ba ginagamit ang rubbing compound?

pros and cons please

Mas abrasive ang compound kesa sa scratch remover. Pag mas malalim ang gasgas, compound ang mas mabilis gamitin kesa sa scratch remover

Sana nga maganda ang kalabasan sa kotse ko. Hehehe. How did you apply it? Hand or machine? Thanks

by hand lang sir. di mo ma-enjoy mag wax o sealant kapag machine application.

if the painter is good then you may not be able to tell the difference. normally may naiiwan na sanding marks near sa mga edges for repainted panels. but if you know anyone who has a paint thickness guage then u can easily tell.this is what i use to check paint thickness. it can easily tell if a panel is repainted or not.

i used klasse all in one or kaio to clean the winshield, windows and healdights. it needs some effort if applied and buff by hand. you can also apply and buff by machine if you have a polisher. for stubborn watermarks, i use elevo watermarks remover.
