Pini-phase out na nila bro (hence the low price). Old stock na yata yung nakukuha natin sa blade. Madami pa naman yan bro. But since tw ice liquid wax is available na sa atin i stopped hoarding tw spray wax na hehehe

Tingnan mo naman yung insane beading dun sa roof ko, gagamit ka pa ba ng iba hahaha

Ang convenient kasi I-apply ng spray wax at effective naman sya. Pag pala may makita ulit ako, bilhin ko nalang ulit. Bale 3rd na kung sakali. Hahah

ok very nice deal. hanap ako nito baka meron pa. 70 php din difference sa true value, dont really need yung bundled freebies ng true value now and pang dagdag din pambili ng "wax as u dry" na nag price hike both TW and eagle1 brands. yung sa true value pala parang may chamois pa na bundled aside from the wd40 iirc

As I was filling up at a gas station earlier today, a guy approached me selling FastWax 1 Cleaner Wax. It was an aerosol can that can supposedly be used for waterless washing, and has carnauba wax to give your surface some added shine.

The guy was really knowledgeable about the product, and he was a good salesman - not too pushy, entertains all my questions, and has a pleasant demeanor overall.

However, when I googled the product, reviews were so-so, so I wasn't so keen on buying. From a regular price of 999, they were selling it to me for P600.

Now I kinda wanna go back to buy the product, not because I believe it's a good product, but because the sales guy offered excellent customer service and I'd like to be of help to him in order to reach his quota. My only concern is that the product might cause swirl marks on my car.

Has anyone tried FW1 Cleaner Wax? Or at least any feedback on waterless wash products in general? ONR is pretty famous here in the threads, I don't know though if they're similar.

meron ako sir (padala lang sakin), bihira ko gamitin kasi mahirap/maganit i-spread sa panel surface pero hindi siya nag ha-haze, parang quick detailer, hindi ko lang sure kung abrasive siya. totoo na cleaner wax siya kasi kakapit talaga yung dumi sa microfiber towel kahit na bagong carwash yung sasakyan. mas gaganda yung panel kung papatungan pa ng wax.

yung P600 na halaga ba yung malaking bottle? mura na din pala. may kabigatan din yung bote mismo.

*Horsepower: Limited lang ang synthetic wax in paste form.

Turtle Wax ICE Paste Wax
Meg's Ultimate Paste Wax
Meg's NXT Tech Wax (Paste)
Mothers California Gold Synthetic Paste Wax
Mothers FX SynWax (Paste)

Mas madami choices if liquid form including 3M, Wolfang, Blackfire, etc.

Yes sir, actually it is a durable paste wax, medyo mahirap lang din tanggalin if applied too thick. Pero parang mahirap sya makita sa ace or handyman.

Thanks for the replies Sirs. I still have the spray but I need to switch soon to liquid or paste. Isa lang nabili ko e.

*jut703: Cleaner wax will remove swirl marks, not add to them. If you are seeing more swirl marks, then there is something wrong with your applicator pad or polishing cloth that is causing that swirl (maybe dirt). The product itself will not cause swirl mark on its own.

Quick detailers are actually waterless wash. All brands carry them including Meg's, Mothers, Turtle Wax, 3M, Microtex, etc.

ONR is similar but is available as concentrate. You can use it as rinseless wash, waterless wash or quick detailer depending on how much water you add.

Yes, what I meant was that since it's waterless, how well can it really clean the surface of my paint, such that it won't simply drag the dirt that's already on it (which will then cause the swirls).

Can you really clean a dirty car without water? Much of my driving leaves my car caked with mud, watermarks on the flat surfaces, and lots of insects on the front.

I was informed by TW promodizer in Megamall that the product and packaging was upgraded, as I grab a TW headlight cleaner and sealant with 20% disc.

Yes, they can be very effective. This black car was cleaned using waterless wash/rinseless wash only.

My primary points for judging the products are ease of use, streaking, value, appearance, slickness, and cleaning power. Having a well polished car, I can confidently say that these products do not cause any marring or scratching.

Yes, you can but depends on how dirty your car is. Obviously if your car is caked with mud, use a pressure washer or regular car wash. Use the right tool for the right job 'ika nga.

I use megs uwwa, for removing dust its perfectly fine as long as spray on both panel and microfiber. No swirl marks with my sealant. I dont use dusters anymore.

For dirt or mud (thick wet dust) this has to be wash off properly in my opinion.

[jut703]

Paguwi ko Manila, binalikan ko yung station, kaso wala na yung nagbebenta. Oh well, next time.

Mga sir tanung ko lang po.. may curing time po ba ang nanosil before applyan ng nanogloss?

Wash>nanosil>nanogloss/TW Ice wax/ UQW > nanosliq

Tama po ba yung procedure ko? And ano pong mas durable nanoglos or TW Ice spray or UQW po? Maraming maraming salamat po..

Tama naman sir ang procedure. Nanogloss/TW Ice and UQW are good waxes for LSP. In terms of durability, TW Ice and UQW would last longer than nanogloss as they are synthetic waxes. Nanogloss, on the other hand, is carnauba based (or contains) so slicker shine but doesn't last long as the synthetic ones. Rule of thumb ko when choosing waxes, synthetic for rainy seasons and pure carnauba during summertime.
As for the curing time sir, i haven't tried nanosil before applying nanogloss pa. Marami dito nakatry na nung process na yun sir so i suggest backread lang a few pages.

Wash
NanoFil
NanoSil
NanoGlos
NanoSliq -> after every car wash

If meron kang sealant, apply it 1st bago mo patungan ng carnauba wax.

[irvinvinic]

Maraming salamat po sir DarkMatter and sir venerzky.

Wala na po bang curing time ang nanofil before lagyan ng nanosil?
