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

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

Tnx sa mga tips ninjababez,horsepower,bryan! Till nxt question ko! Thanks!

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?

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?

*darkmatter spray wax of turtle wax ice just like ordinary QD lang no need to make magic or deluted it in water. Use it at is. Spray and wipe un lang haha. So pano ko pala nipisan un pag spray ng QD ng microtex sliq? Un sa nosel is spray naman or dapat un isa di ko alam tawag hmm Basra line siya nakalagay lang naman in line, shower type, at X dun sa nosel nun at teka nosel ba tawag dun NASA run sa labasan ng spray hehe

*ip man I think sulit naman kung bibili ka niyan. You can try mother's mas cheap kesa megs but anything will do naman they both do the same job. And you can use that in both cars. I think 1 bar is good for 6 cars correct me if am wrong nabasa ko lang yan

How bad? Ganito nalang...

Sino ba may gusto na madumi ang engine bay? Dust is dust, at ayaw natin ng dust hangga't maari. Do you want dust accumulation inside your engine bay? Electronic parts don't like dust. Moving parts don't like dust.

ah... so its just preference. the electronics kasi dont handle water and moisture well. im more worried over water damage than dirt damage. thanks for clarifying.

As is lang pala sya sir bryan19, alam ko kasi meron din QD mismo ang TW sa ice series nila hehe. Anyway thanks sa info sir [emoji3]
Di ko alam sir kung ano itsura ng spray nozzle ng nano sliq pero kung walang option for adjusting the nozzle, ginagawa ko nilalayuan ko lang yung sprays sa mismong target area (30-40cm) and slight "pitik" sa switch para hindi sobra. Or sa mismong towel ko spray tapos saka ko i-wipe.

Yup, kaya punas punas lang talaga. Pero kung thorough cleaning ng engine, dalhin nalang sa mga expert. Pero its a good habit to keep the engine bay and engine clean and dust free.

Old school engines, yan kahit basain mo, ok lang dahil less electrical parts. Balutan mo lang ng plastic bag yun alternator and good to go na.

Ok yung step 1,2 and 3. Ewan ko lang sa nano sliq kasi di ako fan ng quick detailer, walang pawis involved eh hehehe. Medyo mas mahirap lang gamitin yung nano fil pero worth it naman after. Bili ka muna ng sachet para ma test mo muna.

Mas effective kung may dual action polisher. It conceals light scratches and swirls.

[paos]

Mga sir ano po ba ibig sabihin pag sinabing dual action polisher? Kc po pagnagtatanong ako sa mga ace o do it pag cnabi ko po na naghahanap ako ng dual action polisher di po nila alam, pati po ako di ko alam pag cnabi dual action. Salamat po.

I think yan yung may low and hi speed seetings.

Alam ko dual action polisher vs. normal "buffer"/rotary ay may random na ikot sya mimicing hand rotation. Pag sa isang lugar lang kasi ang ikot nya pwede masunog yung paint kung di sanay ang gumagamit.

Commonly called na "buffer/polisher" kasi ang mga yan kaya di alam talaga sa Ace pag nagtanong ka kung meron silang double action polisher or what others call random orbit polisher. Tama yun sabi ni ninjababez na pag sinabing dual action, aside sa umiikot yun back plate, ito eh nag-oorbit pa, parang wax on wax off action.

Don't be confused with rotary polishers ah kasi ito yun parang sander/grinder na single action lang at hindi advisable ito sa mga newbies.

*ninjababez- How do you apply TW Ice? What applicator do you use? Instructions at the bottle seems kind of "vague". What I use was the cheap foam applicator at Blade, the 4pcs at 88php. At few times, I sprayed on the foam itself, then rub it in circular motion, till it dries up, then I'll wipe it off with the microfiber. On the latter part of the car, I just sprayed it on the surface and my usual procedure. How do you apply yours?

Thank you!
