Thanks sa reply sir. May pressure washer na ako sir. Ang gusto ko na bilhin yung snow foam lance, gagana kaya sa pressure washer ko? Yung free na soap gun lac sa pressure washer ko hindi nagproproduce ng thick foam. Another question, mga instant detailers ba nakaka strip off ng wax?

Ok got your point. You can purchase probably a lance similar to the pressure washer you have right now. Regarding the free soap gun lance attachement. I have read somewhere you can make it foamy by putting 80%soap and 20% warm water, shake it to produce bubbles before using it. I have not tried it yet but I will soon.

Thanks sir, might try it first before getting a foam lance. Pero mukhang mauubos agad car shampoo ko pag 80% soap 20% water. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Try mo warm water then shake the bottle to create bubbles. Di naman kailangang punuin mo ang container. Maybe just enough for the car. My ratio is just a basis of mixing say 80ml soap to 20ml warm water.

quick detailer as the name implies is for quick fix to maintain the gloss. hindi matatanggal ang wax....

kung interested ka sa makapal na foam, check out chemical guys phils kung may mabili ka nung mga super suds at snow foam shampoo nila. i bought from them their regular citrus wash and gloss shampoo ok din naman ang foaming sa nilfisk washer ko. i use it only prior to my periodic polishing schedule kasi mahal for regular wash, i use microtex shampoo, good value for me. btw, wala sa kapal ng foam ng shampoo yan, importante yung cleaning properties niya saka slickness sa paint surface para ma minimize ang swirls at marring during washing.

looked like ashpalt tar to me, dumaan ka ba sa bagong aspalto na kalsada? di talaga kaya ng claying yan lalo na kung dry at tumigas na.

try mo wd40, spray mo sa isang spot muna, let it linger for a while then wipe it with microfiber cloth with wd40 din. if lumambot at kaya matanggal, continue the same process, if kaya ng kuko mo to scrape it, pagtyagaan mo. kung di kaya ng wd40, subukan mo kerosene. gamit ka ng spray bottle, then same process. try mo sa isang spot muna, let it soak then wipe.

then after, wash your car thoroughly para maalis ang wd40 o kerosene...HTH

If this is asphalt, +1 sa kerosene. The guys at my suki carwash used this--they said they were seeing a lot of these marks on their customers since the main road nearby had just undergone roadwork. Just wax your car after since kerosene will remove the previous layer of wax or sealant.

Aspalto.
Kerosene will do.

I am not sure sir. Pero tingin ko hindi naman kelangan ang repaint. I should do sir monty told me first before thinking of a repaint. Thanks sa advice though. [emoji4]

Any recommended car cover that is water repellant and doesn't cause too much scratch on the paint?

Thanks!
