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

[cjv_justice]

not sure kung tumaas ulit e... wag naman sana. will try another mall tomorrow to check on the Elite again. kung wala bahala na cguro... baka sa Transhow meron sana.

[Ginnova]

buti na lang nakabili ako ng elite last month. 600 sa true value. I'm really impressed with its drying capability. can dry the whole car. walang pigaan talaga.

Guys, not sure kung natanong na ito dito dati. Pero are watermarks more prone to appear/get noticed sa mga black cars? Kasi nung naglinis ako ng tsikot ko, ang bilis mag-evaporate ng tubig habang nagpupunas ako kahit na nasa lilim naman ako. Dahil na rin siguro sa init ng panahon ngayon.

Ano ba pwedeng magawa para matanggal yung mga marks? Kakapa-detail ko lang din kay Bigberts, ayoko sanang matanggal muna yung mga sealant, wax etc na nilagay sa paint ng tsikot ko. TIA!

di kaya pag winash mo uli ung parts na may mark? ako kasi nung minsan ganun. winash ko lang uli, ok na. natanggal naman...

ako naman ang sked ko e mga 5pm lagi hanggang sa abutin na ko ng gabi (mga 7pm siguro). di na mainit nun...

[cjv_justice]

try using a QD?

[rj_tim]

Yep, binasa ko ulit yung mga parts na natuyo na at ginamitan ng QD. Pero ganun pa rin eh.

[cjv_justice]

hmm, kelan pa po kayo nagpa-detail sa BB?

siguro wash na ulit yan then cleaner wax na.


wait narin natin mga response ng mga detailing vets here.

[rj_tim]

Last week lang eh. Nakakapanghinayang kasi palagyan na ng cleaner wax, panigurado tanggal na yung paint protect nun.

[cjv_justice]

Is this Optiguard or New Car Paint Protection?

Nung Holy Monday I availed of the latter^ sa BB on our new Corolla (Medium Silver). Come Maundy Thursday morning puro watermarks all over, umulan daw nung madaling araw. I just dusted the car off with Microtex as a temporary solution kase walang oras, natanggal naman yung ibang WM pero meron parin. I washed and waxed the car the following day na, Good Friday. Microtex shampoo, OCW then OID-GE a couple of hours later.

It might be na mas noticeable nga siya sa mga itim na oto. Yung sa akin ang tagal ko parin sinisipat after just to check kung me WM, I got rid of them all.

Ako rin nga eh 2weeks p lang yung New Paint Protection ko from BigBerts. So far nagamit ko last carwash ko is Nanosliq lang. Meron ako d2 Nanoglos at Turtle Carnauba wax cleaner. D ko alam kung ayos din gamitin for maintenance nung Paint sealant ko from BigBerts. Okay lang kaya gamitin ko to next carwash ko this saturday.. Gusto ko sana bumili ng Collite + OID/GE

[cjv_justice]

I will maintain the NCPP for exactly one month, using OCW and OIDGE after weekly wash. Then dun nako gagamit ng cleaner wax and 915.

Boss tradewind maybe you've heard about Autobisyo. Upcoming na stocks nila ng Collinite. As for Optimum, hindi pa siya kase ganun ka accessible bilhin (nakachamba lang ako nung MIAS sa Tsikot booth) kaya kung medyo atat Mothers FX spray wax or Reflections Advance spray wax will suffice depending sa color ng sasakyan.

Pero kakaiba talaga tong Optimum. 2 weeks na siya sa FD ko ang dali parin mag dust off.

share ko lang updated arsenal ko...

[Starex_Gold]

Their shop is located near Southwoods exit. Me wesbite din sila autobisyo.com, or check their FB account.

Mga nabasa ko lang yung feedback nila regarding 476s e. Sa autogeek site 12 months tumatagal pero depende, alam mo naman weather natin dito kakaiba. 1 or 2 months maybe? me inaapply pa na protection para tumagal like NanoSliq or other spray waxes.

Hmmm, looks like you have some pretty hard water. A few thoughts - try to keep the car wet while washing, even if you have to rinse it every five or ten minutes to keep the water from drying. Alternatively, wash the car in sections and dry immediately after. Also, if you can obtain it, ONR can be used to soften water - add an ounce to your regular carwash to neutralize the minerals in the tap water.

For the watermarks you already have, given you've already tried a damp towel and also QD, most likely you will have to use a cleaner wax/pre-wax cleaner. That will strip the sealant from the spot you use it on. However, if we're talking about the sealant used with Big Bert's exterior detail, than I believe that it is not Carlack/Klasse - not sure what it is (when I asked before they said it was Eagle One, which is a bit weird as Eagle One doesn't make a sealant ), but it probably isn't as durable.

So my suggestion - get the watermarks off using a cleaner wax/pre-wax cleaner, then apply a layer of a more durable LSP (Collinite/OCW/Klasse) on the whole car.

I wouldn't the Turtle Wax carnauba cleaner wax - as it's got cleaners, it might strip the Carlack sealant from your paint. Nanoglos also has some cleaners, but they're a lot milder - from what I've read previously, not enough to strip the sealant.

With regards to Autobisyo, you meet-up with Jerome at RCBC in Makati - no need to travel to Laguna (mahal ang toll!). I think he also does shipping of products (not sure about this, would be best to ask him). Sir Ed of pinoydetailing has both Optimum and Collinite products, and he ships them as well.
