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

[nivraarvin]

*umi001 Bro, i was thinking about purchasing Optimum Gloss Enhancer and Optimum Spray Wax.

My routine is:

ONR
1 coat KSG
1 coat Mothers Pure Carnauba wax
Eagle One superior nanowax (booster every other wash)

My plan is to use OGH and EO alternately.

When my EO spray wax runs out, I plan to replace it with OCW and use it as my booster wax

Do you think using OCW and Mothers pure carnauba will be redundant? I understand that OCW is not intended to be a spray wax but as a stand alone wax.

OGE (optimum gloss enhancer), not OGH.

You can still use OCW as a booster - though it'd be a booster with more longevity than your underlying wax :D My suggestions:

1. Lay down more than one layer of KSG - a lot of people say that KSG is one of those LSPs that can be layered, and that it looks and protects a lot better after three or more layers.
2. Extend the period between uses of OCW - two weeks of OGE, then OCW on the third week, then repeat. OCW will easily last three weeks, IME.

Okay bro, i'll try that. But I'll keep the mothers pure carnauba there, it just gives that deep wet look that sealants and maybe OCW cant give. Thanks!

Microtex Stainz Out. Tas lagyan nyo na rin ng Rain repellant either Rain Clear or yung partner ng Microtex na Stain Guard. Pag may rain repellant po mas less likely magka-watermarks kahit matuyuan yung glass nyo.

I'd only recommend this for super heavy watermarks. Based sa description ni sir mukhang light watermarks lang yung nasa kotse nya since bnew pa.

Thanks sa tips sir! Might get the Microtex brand na lang... Kabibili ko lang din kasi ng Nanoglos & Nanosliq hehe, para parehong brand...

Pano po ba ang proper usage ng Microtex Nanoglos + Nanosliq? Glos muna then buff off before applying Sliq? Thanks!

After buffing off Glos, wait for at least 4 hrs before applying Sliq. Pero recommended wait for 8 hrs para cured na yung Glos sa paint.

spray waxes are very easy to apply, spray then buff

[roelrpt]

Good morning. Thank you sir monty..

Additional question. Ano po mas maganda? Megiars ultimate quick detailer or meguiar ultimate quick wax? Talaga po bang pang dark colors lang yung meguiar ultimate QD? White po sasakyan namin and gusto ko i-maintain after having NCCP from bigberts.

Megs UQD is for "touch-up" while UQW naman is more durable because it's a spray wax. IMO kung once a week kayo nagpapahugas okay na yung UQW after washing.

Sir, if i remember correctly tinanong ko din yan kasi black car ung nakalagay sa label. ang sabi eh pang black car talaga pero pwede din gamitin sa other colored cars. ung UQD or UQSW I think same lang for quick maintenance purposes for your car paint kung la ka time mag wax.

Hayz.. Sayang pala nabili ko. Pwede kaya papalit? Di pa naman nagamit. Megs UQD nabili ko.

Pwede rin naman yan gamitin in the future as booster sa wax mo. Pwede rin yan after washing to give the car the newly waxed look. Although it's not as durable as the UQW pero it's better than nothing.
