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

[makyong]

Maam, once na matutunan mong mag wax di mo na ipapa hawak yan sa iba[emoji4]. Nung una kong nag paint protect at wax, pinagawa ko sa iba. Binantayan ko, i asked a lot of questions. Ni videohan ko pa nga. Bago rin ako bumili ng wax at paint protection, inulan din ng questions yung seller from me. Gladly, she's kind enough to answer all my qurries. Read, ask and watch and take notes.

Mga sir, hanggang kelan po pwedeng gamitin ang MF towel bago ulet palitan?[emoji28]
Im using microtex elite.

Matagal sir, sa once a week na gamit, as long as babanlawan mo palagi after use and wash it once or twice a month, baka more than a year bago ka mag palit.

[Kitoy22]

Do you think a newbie like me is capable of waxing my car?ano po ba kau ngstart?1st car nyo kayo na agad ngwax or pinagawa nyo sa iba?

Yes, kayang kaya nyo yan sir, Wax-on, Wax-off. Hehe

Watch this sir. Short but informative.

Kaya nga for newbies like me,nkakaconfuse. So ngresearch ako sa internet,wala akong mkitang nakakacrack ng paint ang pgwawax.wrong notion pala tlga ng common na tao yon. Though nabola ako ng paniniwalang yan ha for more than 3 months since i got my new car,napaniwala akong wag muna mgpawax.haha. i wanna do it by myself though andon yong kaba na baka ako mkascratch sa kanya. Haiiist...gusto kong itry. Ive been backreading this thread to see kng my nakapost ba na guidelines for proper application of wax pero wala akong mbasa.sa umpisa ng forum i know andon yong procedure pgcar wash pero yong sa wax application wala akong mhanap.my nkapost ba dito guys? Do you think a newbie like me is capable of waxing my car?ano po ba kau ngstart?1st car nyo kayo na agad ngwax or pinagawa nyo sa iba?

Applicable lang yung bawal iwax sa mga newly painted cars, sa mga newly painted cars...advisable na wag muna iwax at least for 1month kase nagccure pa yung paint sa loob...ang wax kase parang sealer sya so di advisable mag wax agad kung newly painted yung auto. Para sa mga bnew cars, even after 2 weeks pagkuha mo pwede mo na iwax kung nawala na yung kintab....kase for sure cured na yung paint ng auto bago nila ilabas sa planta. With regards naman sa interval ng pag wax, ang advise eh every 3months but maybe you can do it every month kung talagang bugbog sa ulan and bilad sa araw yung car....pero kung hindi I suggest do it every 2 or 3mos and just maintain the paint with quick detailer or quick wax in between waxes and syempre give your car a regular car wash specially kung daily driven yung car.

Sa youtube po may mga video ng proper procedure ng pag wax, with regards to your question if you are capable of waxing your own car...yes definitely, but do research first on how to properly wax a car. Another way is to bring your car sa reputable detailer and ipawax mo dun then panoorin mo pano ginagawa nila para next time ikaw na :-)

bakit kaya may stain pa din ng watermarks yung hood ko kahit ok pa yung wax (collinite 845). 2 weeks pa lang and okay pa yung beading. Ulan araw kasi lately pero di matangal yung watermark sa QD (nanosliq).

Ok sya sir pang interiors, salamin at gulong. Ginagamit ko rin sya pang tanggal ng polish, pero 1-2 times ko lang ggmitin tapos redelegte ko na sa interior or salamin.

Depends sa target mong outcome,

476 - durability - yes it will last you a month (1-2 months top) , shine - so so
845 - durability - 2-3 weeks top, shine - great, specially on black

HOw about the 915?

salamat sa mga reply masters.

In terms of durability, alin ang mas durable 915 or 845?

[makyong]

Sabi ni sir starex_gold 915 umaabot ng 3-4 weeks.
Sabi ni sir sebastian bach 845 2-3 weeks...

Sir makyong nakatry ka na ba gumamit nito? I was about to buy nano glos and nano sliq sa ace hardware kanina ng nirecommend sakin ito ng salesgirl.sabi nya para daw sa bagong kotse ito para mamaintain ang gloss.do i really need to apply this?

[Starex_Gold]

Sa totoo lang, kung umabot ng 3 weeks ang beading at protection effect maswerte na tayo eh. Tsaka depende pa rin kasi yan sa maintenance na gagawin every after wash.

Tignan ko yun sa iX35 ko. Sobrang dumi kasi ginamit ko sa Manila nung weekend. Baka bukas hugasan ko tapos observe ko.

For sure naman yun dulas mawawala na agad eh. Hehe

Kung durability ang hanap niyo, 476 talaga matindi. Hindi ko pa nasusubukan yun 845 pero I think it's less durable than my 915 since it is a liquid wax. Kung shine at moderate protection ang gusto niyo, 915 it is. Napaka tipid gamitin. Pinahiram ko na nga sa mga kaibigan ko yun 915 pero hindi pa rin nangangalahati
