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

[red_one]

red, those pang kusina grease watching detergents can it corrode the aluminium tubings as well yun mga rubber hoses in the long run? if not, then what can be the difference between the Meg's that you're using with these regular brands Joy / Tides. mahal kasi nun concentrate ng Meg's Super Degreaser

btw, can I use the Meg's super degreaser to clean the bottom part of the car like wheel wells, the tires itself, as well yun rubber mouldings sa baba? feel ko malagkit sila pag nag-dry na after a wash

In the first place, why would it corrode aluminum tubings and rubber hoses? Kitchen cleaners/degreaser have been used for years to clean painted surfaces, plastic wares, aluminum wares, cast iron wares, rubber wares, ceramic wares, glass wares, stone wares, etc.

Engine degreasers are fast acting and deep penetrating. You do not need to scrub it to clean engine parts. After you spray, they immediately break down engine grease. When you rinse with water, the grease gets washed away with water. Engine degreasers are ready to use and come in spray cans so you can reach difficult areas, even 5 feet away.

Engine grease is different from kitchen grease. Engine degreasers are formulated for engine grease so works faster and better.

Kitchen cleaners/ degreasers will require more work but can be used if nagtitipid.

Yes, you can use Meg's Engine Degreaser for wheel wheels and tires. But I don't, I use 3M Wheel and Tire Cleaner instead.

OO nga po red_one, okay lang ba sa paint ng engine bay yung mga kitchen clearner/grease cutter? yung mga plastic parts ng engine, di ba nakaka erode yun?

They are safe but require more work than engine degreasers. See my previous post.

You cannot remove scratches without removing paint. Para mawala ang scratch, kailangan mo pantayin ang level ng surrounding paint sa level ng scratch. Yan ang gagawin ng scratch remover.

Wax will not remove scratches. It may hide it on some instances pero lilitaw ulit yan after the wax fades.

Meron ba ditong may idea magkano custom tax pag umorder sa autogeek? nag try ako eh, laki ng difference, mas mura tlg. nag try ako kumuha ng 5 items pumatak lang sa Php2,500 yung total. Yun nga lang, nung mag check out nako, di daw kasama sa quote ung custom tax.

Anyone?

[kai s.]

^ I'm curious about the customs tax as well. May mga buy one take one pa sila sa ibang items eh, kaya sulit!

Also, may shipping estimate ba?

Diko napansin eh, raw total lang ng items and lumalabas, baka dun sa final check out lalabas, kaso need na ilagay card details kaya diko na tinuloy. Bka kase mas mura padin kahit may shipping fee at custom tax.

Halimbawa yung collinite 845, 1k at 1.5k yung mga offer locally, pero dun nasa P800 lang. Yung dodo juice na wax nga 500 lang 2pcs na. ang galing.

Custom tax dito sa atin?this will depend sa forwrder mo. My forwrder na inclusive na ang tax sa shipping package nila, if you will go through fedex for example, atleast 20% ng declared value ng goods.

Yun lang, di na quote kung sinu yung magdadala. medyo mura pa din kung nasa 20% lang pala.

If you will use the international shipping of autogeek then this may cost more. Try mo compute lahat sir, shippped ng cost and tax then compare with locally priced products, sometimes sa shipping ng autogeek mas mahal pa shipping cost mo sa cost of goods.

Yan gamit ko lagi ngayon. Hehe. Good for 1 to 2 washes. Sakto lang kintab. First time ko mag spray wax kaya natutuwa ako. Ambilis lang i apply and buff eh. Unlike kung mag apply ako ng paste wax. Hehe

I never heard of expiration. Maybe smell it? If it smells bad, don't use anymore.

query lang po.

white kasi paint ng auto ko. tapos medyo naninilaw na kahit alaga naman sa wax... kaya bang ibalik ng klasse twin yung pagkatingkad ng white niya o dapat pa-exterior detailing na? nagdadalawang isip ako sa exterior detailing kasi gagamitan daw ng mild (???) abrasive, although meguiars naman daw.

salamat
