*jmpet626: yep. as much as possible distilled water dapat para walang impurities na makakaaffect sa ONR. ang mangyayari kasi lilinisin ng ONR yung tap water...

*chikselog: dumating na ba yung sealant? hehe

ako paps when washing inuuna ko yung rims and wheel wells using a seperate bucket with shampoo.

why? kasi eto yung pinaka maduming part ng auto eh pag hinuli mo ito eh baka while rinsing it eh matalsikan pa ng dumi yung already malinis na body

second, if tapos ka na sa body then i-huli mo yung rims and wheel wells eh baka matuyuan ka ng tubig sa body since nililinis mo pa yung rims & wheel wells.

my personal regimen lang po...

in addition na din po when hosting the car dapat eh yung sprinkle effect lang (i've read this in a foreign article and eto rin yung nai-demonstrate sakin ni master edwin)

avoid yung style ng carwash shop na para bang bubutasin na yung auto mo sa lakas ng spray ng tubig nila..(why, as i've read in a foreign article na pag buo na malakas yung buga ng tubig eh kinikiskis lang neto yung dirt sa body ng auto mo which can cause swirls)

eto yung isang basehan ko kung ok ba yung carwash station o hindi...

*Hardinero: personally ang ginagawa ko is rinirinse ko muna yung body bago ako pumunta sa rims and wheels. hehe. yup kanya kanyang style lang talaga..

ang basis ko naman kung okay ang carwash is if...

1) 2 bucket method
2) they use microfiber washmitts
3) they work top to bottom
4) they use microfiber chamois
5) they don't use dishwashing liquid to wash your car

and most importantly... if yung mga nagtatrabaho dun e napaka suplado na pag nagtanong ka kung ano mga gamit nila ang tingin sayo e nagmamarunong.

another point against yun against very high pressure washers a, in addition to stripping wax

noted! de-hose lang kasi ako. hehe.

*Hardinero: added your comments on the new version. kaso hindi ko na pala pwedeng i-edit yung mga nakapost dito...

Q: Is there any danger when using a pressure washer?
A: Yes. it is important to make the nozzle spread out the water when spraying the car, and controlling the pressure. Making the pressure washer hit at a single point can cause scratches if there are dirt particles on the paint. Too much pressure can also strip wax.
Q: How do I know that the pressure is just right?
A: A rough way of testing this is spraying your hand : if it's painful, it's too strong.
