^ OT pero may discount yung Petron card sa Blade? Ilang percent?

Mechanix brand sir around 200ml spray can, sakto naman kasi kelangan ko na rin nung time na yun hehe. Cost me 230php plus TW ice.

*kai yes petron value card ahh I think 10% siya.

*darkmatter ang mura ng bili mo ahh haha compare sa binibili namin hehe

[DarkMatter]

^ Nagulat din nga ko sa price pero depende siguro sa kasama sa package. Di ko rin alam unit price nung mechanix hehe. Pero yung nakita ko the other day sa blade with TW wash n wax mas mahal lang ng 40pesos.

supercleaned my glass this morning and applied TW Ice (based on the recos here). And I'm so happy it rained tonight. My glass are sooooo clean. Water droplets explode into smaller beads and just roll.

I used to have this clean glass back when I still have the time to use Glaz Stainz-out and Glaz Stain-Guard. This product, I believe, replaces many of my Microtex products (Stainz Out, Guard, Crystal Guard, and Nanoglos).

It's that good. Hopefully, wag tumaas ang price.

BTW, may nakita ako na TW Ice na hindi spray (and the cost is so much higher). ano ba yun? Is it like an undiluted version? Was with a very impatient toddler kase when I saw it kaya di ko na nakita nang matagal. I just picked up TW Ice at True Value (whopping 400! when Blade sells it for 300+ lang). IT came with "free WD40 and no-name chamois). Wala kasi ako makita pampalit dun sa sinoli ko na kitchen spray (which didn't work). THanks

Told you! You wont need to use your wiper much once you use tw ice haha. Anu nakita mo tw ice paste wax?ano itsura? Regarding on blade and true value mag iiba lang ang price once iba un combo na kasama hehe

[MS-GLX]

So happy with this product. Gaano katagal ito before you apply again? Sobrang effortless ng sweep ng wiper blades (stock lang na Mitsuba "banana-type"). Mukhang matagal pa aabutin ang wiper blades ko. hehe

Nasa plastic bottle yung nakita ko bro e. if i am not mistaken, almost 2K. Since my daughter is in a hurry to get to her mom, ayun, buti na lang TW Ice ang nadampot ko kase I recalled always seeing the product name here (dapat bayaran kayo ng TW ice dealer haha)

Yung nakita nya yun bago packaging pero di yun spray wax bro. Liquid wax yun ala collinite 845

Kung car wash lang pwede na microtex wash and wax. Microfibre towel pwede pamunas. I highly recommend using microtex ULTRA Large waffle microfibre cloth

I just use wash mitt and Microtex Wash and Wax (I buy the 2L which costs 350). I used to use Mother's (close to 1k per liter) pero didn't really see any difference kaya microtex na lang. Mother's is a good brand so I'm sure their other products work well. From experience, Microtex products work fine din naman for the price.

*glx medyo magulo un tanong mo haha. Anyway pag naglilinis ako gamit ko pang punas is wash mitts ng microtex for the upper body, roof, glass. Ace wash mitts orange color for lower body. Tapos generic wash mitts from ace din blue siya for wheels basta ginagamit ko siya sa babang parts kung San napakadumi. Color coded dapat para di nakakalito tapos gamit ka 3 buckets o timba. Un shampoo gamit ko microtex o un libre ng turtlewax

*horsepower ginagawa ko kasi is after carwash eh pay sinipag haha nga pala may napanood ako pwde no gawin as qd yan tw ice mo

BTW guys bakit ganun un QD ng microtex na sliq parang may striking or bakas na naiiwan pag pinupunasan. My method is pag dusty un car spray ako ng qd then wipe it tapos wipe ulit with different dry MF. Di mawala un bakas na naiiwan need ko pa tuloy sprayan ng tw ice para mawala. Ganun ba in sliq? O may Mali ako

Naexperience ko naman yan sir Megs QD. Meron streaks na visible after the first to second wipes. Siguro saturated yung sprays kaya ninipisan ko yung application afterwards. Punas lang ulit ako with a diff towel(s) mawawala naman yung streaks. Yun lang medyo hassle.[emoji1]

BTW sir pano gawin QD si TW ice?

[sylphunter]

guys ask ko lang, do you clean your engine bay? I'm guessing iba yung paraan ng paglinis nun especially when we need to avoid the electrical parts...

Punas-punas lang ginagawa ko jan sir, twice a week at most and every after washes just to remove dust and water splashes. No engine washes also for me since may nabasa ako sa ibang threads na medyo alanganin ito gawin kasi pressurized water ang gamit. Pero kung gusto ko engine bay cleaning, i'll just leave it to the professionals. May mga offered naman engine detailing services sa mga reputable car wash shops.

[ninjababez]

Same here punas punas lang kung kailan maisipan. By 10k siguro pa engine detail nako sa big berts.

[sylphunter]

ah okie, hmmm hndi naman po siya grounding? i mean i can touch anything in there without getting electrocuted?

No risk sir. Unless you remove the battery's terminal caps, pour water on it and touch it with your bare hands [emoji48] --That i Haven't tried and strictly won't recommend.

I use only moist or slightly damp cloth for wiping almost anything reachable within the engine bay, iwas iwas lang sa battery terminals just to be safe.

Sa 4M40 Pajero ko, di ako takot na buhusan ng pressurized water ang engine dahil walang ECU at konti lang electricals niya, basta tatakpan lang ang alternator. Pero dito sa Mazda 3 ko ngayon, takot ako dahil sa dami ng electricals niya plus yun ECU. So same with others, punas-punas lang ako sa engine bay nung Mazda 3 pero pag Pajero, pressurized water all the way with matching pressurized Joy

[Ip Man]

Hi guys just to want ask your opinion.

Is it worth it to buy the whole megs clay kit and headlight restoration kit if i will only be using it on 2 cars?

Really there is no need to clean an engine except if you are into off roading. The engine can tolerate anything but water. So if you can, invest in an air compressor to blow dirt out.

Nope, kelangan pa rin linisan ang engine bay from time to time. Accumulated dirt inside the engine bay is bad sa engine natin.
