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

[_Cathy_]

I'm loving the Collinite 915 wax. I was using Meg's Ultimate Paste wax and it gave a mirror-like finish, but the 915 gave me a soft, silky... "glow" is the only word that I could come up with. Mind-blowing.

The Megs still smells better, though.

I have the collinite 845. It's so so for me.

I've done KAIO + 3 layers of KSG over 24 hr intervals + v07. I'm still not happy with the shine I gave up already

I'm glad I don't have a black car.

Way to rub it in!

My previous ride was a silver CR-V, so dust wasn't very noticeable. Imagine my surprise when I went with a black car.

845 is the liquid one? It's supposed to last longer than the 915, I think. I would have gotten the 845, but I'm partial to paste waxes, more exercise for me

Yes. I don't like paste waxes. It was my job to buff off turtle wax when I was in grade school and it was so hard. Never again :P

Hi guys,

Do you have any feedback on using the "jdm wax" or the "Pristine" products on sale, seen mostly on Facebook groups?

I'm somehow interested in using these products, but I'm not inclined to detailing, so, I prefer just 1 product to use for ease and budget constraint na din, kinda all in one product.

Any thoughts?

Thank you.

Buy a quick detailer or wax ...

For Rupes/Griots users pa-share naman po ng brand and spec ng step down transformer nyo. TIA!

guys, pag nag asphalt remove ba kayo

1) sa sides lang ng auto tas the rest clay lang like hood, roof and trunk

2) o buong car yong nilalagyan nyo ng gas...

before kasi nun nasa marikina pa ako nagpa-asphalt remove ako..medyo kilala na carwash shop
naman cya maayos mag wash... nun nagpa-asphalt remove kasi ako buo kotse ang nilagyan ng gas.. kaya tuwing nag-asphalt remove ako buo kotse na rin..

now kasi naka mazda 2 ako eh may plastic yon sa rear bumper kaya worry ko if safe naman siguro tamaan ng gas yung plastic trim no..


pero pagkakatanda ko tinuruan ako ni master edwin neto eh sa bahay pa nga nya..sa tagal kasi since 2008 o 2009...nakalimutan ko na...hehe..

I just bought my car last June 30

Ako pag mag asphalt removal session ako, sabay ko sa claying session ko. Bale car wash ko (to remove debris), then asphalt removal sa sides, front and rear, tapos car wash ko ulit using Joy (to completely remove kerosene), then claying, tapos car wash na ulit, KAIO (or poli-seal, dependent sa marring), KSG, collinite, tapos Kung Ano maabot ko na spray wax.....hayyyy, whole weekend wasted, hehehe, pero naka ngiti naman ako ear to ear pag nakita ko na ang sasakyan ko. claying and asphalt removal I do it once a year, max ay twice a year.

Hope others can chime in as well.

I would go with exterior detailing, pero mas ok sana malaman mo ang gamit nila na Polish, glaze, sealant, wax, para make comment and recommend mga fellow OC tsikoteers natin. Bear in my mind, and as usually mentioned dito sa thread, ang brand new car ay exposed na sa elements sa car lot ng company and ng dealerships, kaya a good detailing and paint protection is still a good idea.

Ah okay okay. Try ko magtanong don next time. Medyo pricey kasi ung exterior detailing. How often ba dapat Un gawin?
