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

[Kitoy22]

Thanks sir! Follow up lang po. Those streaks na mentioned if ever occurred can be easily removed by water? or another pass of QD? di naman siya forever stain?

Yes madali naman matanggal, no permanent staining will happen.

Hi Guys, I just had my car washed + waxed + buffed last Sunday. Ngayon napansin ko may parts na hindi smooth at madulas. Ano kaya pwedeng gawin para maging smooth at madulas ulit yun? Thanks!

Check if my natuyong wax na hindi napunasan ng mabuti dun sa hindi smooth na area. Also ask for the brand ng wax na ginamit nila, baka yung brand ay hindi talaga madulas ang properties nya, or baka manipis masyado ang pagkakalagay.

When you say hindi smooth, do you mean magaspang yung paint surface?

[StockEngine]

Optimum No Rinse, then may instructions doon paano ang ratio nun to water para maging quick detailer.

The qds are convenient but in most cases what you really need is a simple waterless wash. Concentrate are cheap and ww removes dust safely with a mf cloth.

Yes Sir magaspang, di sya katulad ng ibang area na smooth. Palagay ko dilluted yung wax na nilagay nila kasi nakasalin na spray bottle, sabi nila Meguiar's wax pero I doubt.

[Eric Sulit]

Mother's Showtime, Microtex Nanosliq, Megs 365, Megs QD, etc... Basta quick detailer, meron yan agad sa Ace, Blade, True Value, Handyman.

Or kung gusto mo ng makatipid tipid, search sa OLX for Optimum No Rinse, then may instructions doon paano ang ratio nun to water para maging quick detailer.

Appreciated lahat ng suggestions Sir. Thanks!

Yung Mothers Showtime Instant Detailer nag streak talaga sa Windows ko. Nag dry naman ako. more than usual dry since baka nga kulang sa pag dry pero ganun pa din. Sad. Oh well, pangit naman talaga may wax sa window. Bili na lang ako ng Mothers RevisionTM Glass+Surface or just buy a spray container with water Ideas?

^Di ko maalala yung isang nirerefer nila na seller, but I got my 845 at Bluemile Auto Detailing in Gilmore. Not sure of they ship though.


Anyway, may QD pala ang ArmorAll? Excited to try this kasi may added carnauba. 20% off pa sa Ace so P190 na lang, super mura!

Enough lang to cover the windows, check your towel kung oily or my mga wax or residues etc. usually for windows, it is better to use shorter nap MF towels. Yung mga all purpose towels na dilaw, ok na yun, as long as tuyo and malinis.
You can use two towels also, one for spreading and the other one for completely drying the windows.

Pa share ng tips mga ka OC, kung pauwi ka na ng bahay at biglang umambon ng tirik ang araw ano dapat gawin quick detailer ba o kahit duster lang? Hindi ba kakapit watermarks nun

If your car has an existing wax or sealant and your car is moving, this will not be a problem.
Usually you will have lesser chances of watermarks from rain water compared sa faucet water, but nevertheless, if you want to get rid of the water, best is do a carwash, if not possible Qd is your next best friend. Avoid the duster if the car surface is wet

agree, with sir kitoy, kapag naka-wax o sealant hindi basta magka-watermarks kaya ensure lagi na protected siya. if ambon lang at di naman kinapitan ng dumi, punas ng QD ok na. if umambon at nabasa kalsada, expect mo kakapit na rin yung putik sa lower panels at sa rear. better wash na lang or keep it as it is till your next car washing sched

[bubu_ty]

Thanks sa sagot. I guess best option wash na talaga.bad trip lang kasi kung kaka wash mo lang tapos umambon.
About wax and sealant how do i know kung wala na yung wax or sealant. Di ba sealant muna tapos wax. Pwede ba mag wax ng walang sealant and vice versa?
