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

Optimum No Rinse Wash n Shine Diluted to QD, very economical.
Or you use Microtex, just add distilled water, 1 part water: 3 parts Nanosliq.

agree, optimum no rinse din ang gamit ko na QD, diluted sa water. i followed yung recommended na 8oz/gallon or equivalent to 2 tbsp ONR/1 liter water. very economical talaga!

Since this thread say's a newbie guide.. and I am a total amateur at detailing.. I got a brand new car, released just 3 days ago (Im not new at driving, but I am new at maintaining the paint ). Im planning to go for BB's Paint Pro. After that, what should I do to maintain?

Ive been backreading lately, and I still want to ask for a much detailed explanation on how..

I've bought Microtex products yesterday like washmitts, an elite (which is really big lol. Did someone cut this in half? Feeling ko matatastas ), Chamois, Terry, tire black , and the wash & wax shampoo (did I get the right? or should I get the wash only?) or should I go for other brands regarding the car shampoo?

BB's gonna apply the paint pro right and thats a sealant? (correct me if im wrong). Then should I follow it up with wax? Or there should be an interval on doing so? Esmi's out and she bought a turtle wax lol Is it okay? My friend told me I shouldve got an 845. I cant judge esmi's wax decision. Kasalanan ko naman sabi ko lang bumili sya ng wax for the new car

For the maintenance stage, what quick detailer should I buy? There are so many lol I got confused yesterday dun sa shop. So I didnt buy anything

My ride's gray btw. TIA!

Not really sure if BB's paint pro is sealant, but nevertheless, most basic maintenance is wash regularly, and use the 2 bucket system, to safely clean your car.
If BB paint pro is a sealant, you can use a liquid wax booster every after wash to prolong the life of the sealant. And re apply the sealant every 2-3months depending on the conditions your car is exposed to or how durable is BB paint pro.
As for the elite towel, we dont cut it, it is big so that it can absorb the water for the whole car without wringing it. Also you fold it un half when you use it, this also provides additional cushion so that to avoid infliction of swirls to the paint.
Putting a wax on top of your sealant can be an option, but if you like the properties of your sealant, you dont need to.
For a quick detailer for removing bird bombs, tree sap, bugs, any brand will do, which ever fits your budget. But for economical reasons, we use ONR diluted to QD use.
Hope this helps.
