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

Nabasa ko sa Meguiar'a forum na ang NXT at Ultimate Wax ay sealant and does not contain wax. Pag kalagay ko ba ng NXT or ULW pwede ko pa patungan ng carnauba Wax?

Synthetic wax ang sealant. You do not need to put anything on top of it. Meg's Ultimate Paste Wax user here.

Abrasive po ba ang Megs Ultimate Polish? Safe po ba sa clear coat?

Abbrasive po ang mga polishes.. but Hindi naman kasing abbrasive ng rubbing compound.. pag nagtatanggal ka ng scratch, micro scratches or swirlmark.. nagtatanggal ka rin ng konting clearcoat para maflatten out at pumantay..

Meg's Ultimate Polish user here. It is more of a glaze than a polish. It is milder than scratch remover and compound.

What exactly do you mean safe on clear coat? Rubbing compound, scratch/swirl remover, and polishes will remove some clear coat. That is the only way you can get smooth finish.

If you don't want to remove any clear coat, use pure glaze and wax/sealant only. But you won't remove existing swirls and scratches either.

The product describe as pre-waxing glaze
For deep reflections & hi-gloss
Eliminates fine swirl marks

Ginamit ko rin ito sa 1 year old car ko na may fine swirl mark inflicted on my hood, so far okay naman.

so it's safe to use for my next detailing session? Do you recommend to use a polisher or by hand?

Yes, safe naman.. pero depende yung sa pagbuff mo rin.. if gagamit ka ng polisher, make sure lang na proper at di nakafocus sa isang point. If by hand naman, medyo matagal na process.

It is safe. I use DA polisher. Machine will get the job done faster and better. But that is extra cost.

Tsikoteers,

Good pm po. Ask ko lang po sana yung Mothers California Gold Spray Wax. Nalilito lang kasi ako sa description nya sa likod. Pwede ko na ba siyang gamitin as primary wax ko then Microtex Nano Sliq as quick detailer or yung Mothers California Gold Spray Wax is also a quick detailer?

Thanks po

The Mothers spray wax is definitely not a quick detailer. I have not read the label on the back, siguro bukas ng umaga kasi gabi na at may multo sa garahe! Are they saying it can act as a quick detailer? I doubt it, it doesn't have the lubricity to help wipe off stubborn dirt and grime. BTW, I love that spray wax, it really makes my car paint "pop".

Ganito bro yung nakalagay sa description sa likod "Mothers® Spray Wax is the quick and easy way to clean, shine and protect any automotive paint, including clearcoat. Spray Wax removes surface dust and fingerprints, while adding long-lasting shine, luster and depth. Used on a wet or dry surface, Spray Wax works as a booster over your existing wax or as a stand-alone product. Simply spray, wipe and buff to a brilliant shine"

Dun ako nalilito sa nasabing "Spray Wax works as a booster over your existing wax".

Kindly enlighten me bro. Thanks.

No prob. That means that it "boosts" the existing wax in your car. Say, naglagay ka ng Turtle Wax Super Hard Shine sa car mo, which lasts for about two months. Yung Spray Wax will boost it, para tumagal pa ng konti yung protection ng Turtle Wax, and at the same time nagdadagdag pa ng shine. Parang pinapatong siya sa existing wax as another "coat" of wax. Spray waxes may last for a week or one or two rains.

It's not ideal, but I guess that can be done. Kasi Mothers designed it as a booster wax, which means kailangan na may wax or sealant sa ilalim na ibo-boost niya. But I have read people who use a spray wax as a stand-alone wax and they swear by it. Apply it every week para at least maintained ang protection ng spray wax.

Spray wax lasts shorter than paste wax or liquid wax. You can use spray wax as primary wax but you need to apply it more often. Yun ang disadvantage nya.

Salamat po sa feedback. Mas madali kasi iapply yung Spray Wax eh. Hahaha. Pag sinipag minsan apply ko na lang Microtex Nano Gloss then Mothers Spray Wax as booster wax. Thanks po ulit.
