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

[monty_GTV]

Mga boss hingi lang ako advice. Anong brand ok ang pantanggal ng scratch puro scratch ng pusa sa ibabaw ng hood ko. Pati po by steps na gagawin. Salamat po mga boss

bro idolp, i think need mo na dalhin sa reputable detailing shop yan para ma-machine polish nila. mahirap na yan gamitan ng hand polishing lang kasi malalalim na ang sratch. then, get rid of the pusa. kahit ipadetail mo yan kung nandiyan pa rin mga pusa sa parking mo, sayang lang

Thank you to all who took time to answer.

*francias- Went to Ace Hardware and Concorde, but to no avail yung recommended mo. Will try Blade next.
*venerzky- Too expensive pa din yung Mothers. But the Nanoglos, would suit his budget range.

Hinde pa parang mas mabilis maubos ang liquid wax, compared sa paste? Its like more controlled ang application pagka paste, and sa liquid naman, may nasasayang din dahil naiiwan sa wax applicator. Anyhow, pick up kasi ung sasakyan, so malaking surface area ang i wax nya, hence mas mabilis maka ubos ng product.

Will buying the more expensive collinite 476, compensate for the durability and frequency usage, compared to the less superior product that is applied frequently? Will it be cheaper in the long run?

Thank you.

Sir ok na yung hood ko nilagyan ng cous ko ng mothers scratch remover tpos buff nya ng mabuti after nun inapply nya ng wax for protection daw. Natanggal yung ibang scratch tpos yung iba naman hindi na gano pansin kahit matapat sa ilaw. Ang tanong ko lang baka bumalik ulit scratch pag pinacarwash ko nextweek.

Try Handyman sir dun ako lagi kmukuha dati. If you could stretch your budget a bit more, IMHO the best talaga ang Collinite sir both durability and looks. Looks ok din - Meguiars pero napaka hina ng durability and too expensive.

Yung mga natanggal ng scratch remover, hindi na babalik yun. Ang ginagawa ng scratch remover is to remove paint around the scratches para magpantay yung level ng scratch sa level ng pintura. Permanently fixed na yun.

Yung mga hindi natanggal ng scratch remover, means masyado malalim ang scratch. Hindi na gaano pansin dahil na-fill-in ng wax. After carwash at nabawasan ang wax, magiging visible ulit ang scratch. What to do? Apply wax again.

Turtle wax ice (spray) or NuFinish?

Di ko pa nattry yan eh un NuFinish I am sure nakita mo yan sa ace hardware hehe but upon google medyo maganda feedback niya but di ko sure kung tatagal ng 1yr tulad ng nakalagay sakanya. Un tw ice ba na sinasabi mo blue bottle like ours ni ninja? Kung oo maganda yan pero kung gray bottle wala ako niyan kaya di ako makaka bigay ng feed back. Anyway back read ka lang kung blue bottle yan. Try mo din un NuFinish or tw ice gray and bigyan mo kami inputs hehe

Thanks! Ginagamit ko ngayon NuFinish paste which is ok naman mejo pagpapawisan ka lang sa kaka punas haha. Not sure kung practical sa akin yung tw ice kasi lagi nadudumihan kotse ko sa parking..

mild pressure lang. kapag wala ng residue ng wax o qd enough na.

Okay thanks monty. Wala bang recommended para sa metallic paint? Hirap pakintabin ng tama yung gray metallic

Turtle wax ice (spray) or NuFinish?

I'm using both NuFinish (liquid polish, hand applied only) and TW Ice spray. In my opinion, NuFinish is more durable than 3M and TW waxes. Beading is still there after 4 months and weekly washing. But I don't think it will last for 52 washes or 1 year as the product suggests. TW Ice spray I use is the old stock (the one that comes bundled with Zip wax at Blade). For me it's an ok QD. It does not make the car shinier or easier to clean than just spraying regular water.


When I finish NuFinish I will try Collinite 476 since everyone is raving about it here

I bought NU Finish before and found na yung durability is not good. mga 1-2washes lang wala na. Na-prep ko naman ng maayus yung paint pero ganun pa din eh though ok naman sa shine pero di talaga matibay sa experience ko. HTH

[Horsepower]

Good that NuFinish is discussed here. I've been wondering about it. Once a year lang daw. Even Klasse doesn't last that long.
