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

[ninjababez]

Thanks for these tips sa plastic restorer! I just bought that also, will use a paintbrush na rin and apply liberally
Parati kasing bilad kotse ko so pati yung base nung rear wiper ko namumuti.

Kai pwede mo rin ipa-paint, ganyan ginawa ko sa outer sail part. Never na nagbago color
Di kasi tumagal yun back to black.

Nah, don't want to paint on textured plastic. At nabili ko na rin yung plastic trim restorer so might as well use it.

Either that or sobrang dusty talaga sa amin. If only pwede touchless wash...

Dusty talaga after i wax or similar.

Kase dahil sa static kaka buff mo.

Wash it once it will solve the issue.

Sobrang buff. Haha. Most probably un nga.

I want to try Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light. Mabilis daw ung application according kay Matt of Obsessed Garage. No need to wait for the product to flash. Wipe on and wipe off application. And 30ml of the Gtechniq is not that expensive naman. Parang first dip into coatings...

Soon soon. Looking at other options pa. Sunod ung garage ko shop ko na. Haha

One other option is Mckee's Paint Coating. Pang entry level coating for enthusiasts or prosumers. Im looking for the easiest to apply eh. Un bang its impossible to f**k things up. Hehe

^ enjoy being tamang OC while your car paint is new. try as many products as you like if you have the means to buy them. be wary though that buying detailing items are addictive. you may not notice but later on, naiipon na pala detailing items mo and hindi mo na magamit lahat. its nice din naman lalo if you have ample time to do it and you see your car clean, shiny and slick looking. but the reality is, if daily drive yung car mo you can't beat contaminants, swirls, scratches and other paint defects. if you are going the coating route, better have it coated with a long lasting coat then maintain mo na lang. i think in the long run its more economical and less pagod pa. if gusto mo naman DIY and weekend detailer type, stick ka na lang with a nice combo of polish and try different waxes.

Got a point there kaya nga I had our everest coated for that reason. While its still new, had it coated na kaagad para when I clean it later on mas madali na.

Tama ka. Marami na akong products. Haha And may mga parating pa ako. Mura kasi mga DA pads sa US kaya pinabili ko na lang doon.

[TheUninvited]

Anyone knows if abrasive or chemical type yung Meguiar's Cleaner Wax?

I've used it 2 months in a row kase, pero hand application and buffing lang. (monthly wax)

[Shutterbug]

Sobrang addicting nga yan... lalo na if you always watch mga Youtube detailing channels... parang ang daming ok na products. Tapos mas mura pa sa US bumili if may access ka to balikbayan boxes. You end up with lots of unused products kasi you will buy the bigger sizes by the gallon para sulit then ang tipid pala and ang tagal maubos. hehe

Uy sayang naman ung mga LC pad mo hehe PM kita kung dumating. Iniisip ko pa kung ano pang pwedeng bilhin.

[Lin Dan]

This reminded me to clean my car later and hopefully apply cleaner wax tomorrow

It rained just now so initial impression of UFF: good hydrophobicity, water sheets off when hosed down. Tight water beading. Although take note I havent cleaned the car yet after I detailed it and it has accumulated dust on top since Wednesday.

[Shutterbug]

Beading looks good... although ganyan naman halos lahat if bagong wax.... true test will be after a couple of weeks of exposure to elements and a few wash if it's still working.

Nakakainis yang mga dust then it will rain a little... yung tipong not hard enough to wash away the dust... the water will just settle on top and make rings of dried dirt afterwards.

Sulit kasi sobra by the gallon eh. If you're still thinking kung ano pa pwedeng mabili... well it's limitless options... there's quick detailers, microfiber towels, interior detailers/protectants, and on and on...

ingat ka lang bro sa pag import from balikbayan boxes... tell your shipper to pack them properly and put in individual plastic bags yung mga gallon. Nabutasan na ako minsan ng isang ganyan. More like nag crack yung plastic container. Pag dating ng box akala ko nabasa ng ulan.. tapos ayun ang bango ng lahat ng items sa loob. Basa din mga boxes ng other items.

oo, hindi ko nagamit agad kaya na stock ng matagal. i kept them inside big plastic boxes along with all the mf towels. i taught it will last long kasi foam material, hindi pala. bought them in AG...

nice beading

Ok naman yan... although it's a cleaner wax so if you're thinking of layering your wax application, it will not work with this, as it somehow removes and replaces any existing waxes.

its sort of a 1-step product as it cleanse and waxes at the same time. if you want to layer, you can topped it with other carnauba wax or sealant and layer. the only drawback is once you use the cleaner wax again, wala na yung layer ng existing wax or sealant, you need to top it again. similar siya sa klasse all in one, its a cleaner wax din, it can be use on its own, but you can top it with klasse sealant or other wax.
