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

[Eric Sulit]

Hi Detailing Gurus, just want to confirm if I'm doing the correct routine. My car is 3 months old, ang ginagawa ko ay wash and wax once a month (sa isang good detailing shop). Then once a week, wash na lang with water + QD (Mothers Showtime). Am I doing the correct routine po ba? Thanks

Anybody here tried the TW Ice Paste Wax? How is it? I was impressed with their spray wax. Not sure if its worth it to substitute sa collinite. Paubos na kasi collinite ko Looking for a paste wax to alternate with collinite.

collinite 476 - durable but not that shiny
TW ice spray wax - not that durable, but its shiny

Ano color ng car mo bro? Collinite 845 (liquid wax counterpart of 476) looks better on my black car compared to tw ice spray wax and tw ice liquid wax.

Haven't tried it personally, but a friend of mine who tested this before its launch, said its compatable to collinite to 476 in terms of durabilty, shine and application removal process.

So if your fond of collinite 476, its possible you may also like turtle wax ice paste wax

Black sir.

I've tried 845 too bro but based sa experience ko its not that durable enough and parang ang bilis maubos haha! I just wax my car once a month kasi. I love collinite products kaso nahihirapan na ako bumili. I buy collinite sa east ave kaso sobrang layo, getting tired of going there kaya naghahanap ako ng pwdeng i-alternate para mas tumagal. and na intrigue ako sa TW Ice products coz their tw spray wax was really impressive.

Okay sir, I might give it a try.

To those peeps na wondering gano kalaki yung Microtex Elite. I bought one even tho ang mahal. Pero I must say, its worth your money. Napatuyo ko yung car ko without even squeezing the towel. And to those (like me) na ayaw mag pa carwash sa labas, worth talaga to.

My friend, I think Starex_Gold recently bought a Elite JR? I think its half the price of this one. If you can find the JR, its also okay. Napatuyo nya naman daw yung car nya (IX35) with that towel. Mas hassle nga tong the one I got kasi it's really big lol

[Starex_Gold]

Hindi ako natutuwa sa elite ang hirap pigain

Sa sobrang pangit ng panahon dito sa Batangas, ilang months na akong di nag-wawax. Sayang yun mga wax ko.

*Halowman punta ka dito ako bahala sa Altis mo hehehe

Sir try to fold it in half, just drag it on horizontal panels, then fold in half again lengthwise, epwhen using it in vertical panels. Just like on the middle to later part of this video.

Washing with just qd and water?

Yes Sir. Water lang tapos sprayan ko ng QD habang pinupunasan.

Will do. Thanks for sharing!

[Eric Sulit]

May mga swirls pero onti lang at hindi halata, sa certain angle lang makikita. Don't know if I'm doing it correctly.

[StockEngine]

Qd is for light dust only.

Option1: wash with car wash solution ie meguiars ultimate wash wax.

Option2: wash with waterless wash ie meguiars ultimate waterless wash anywhere. Concentrate is hard to find though.

Option3: onr/onr+ readily available. https://youtu.be/HGmCZj-vdXk

Not the best video above but it tells generally how it works.

Just wash regularly, do not use anything on your car's paint that will hinder the properties of your coating, remember that the one's you put on top last, is the one who's properties you will see. Other than that, relax and enjoy the beading.

Sir Kitoy, i just got my car from the auto detailer who have done the glass coating, they told me before I drove it out to refrain the car from getting wet and iwasan lalo na ang ulan for 3 days, problem ko ay mainit this morning and bigla ng umulan ng bandang 12pm. They told me they finished the coating yesterday at around 1pm, so there was around 21 hours for it to cure, what will happen with the glass coat kasi they said to avoid getting it wet or rain for 3 days? 😢😢😢
