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

[dr. d]

Guys, please suggest ano ba ang ok na color ng car? White or Silver?

In terms of looks and less to maintain na din. ;)

i clean it every other week.

silver din for the easiest to maintain but in terms of look, very common. white, black and other dark colors are elegant looking especially when they are newly cleaned and wax but easilly get dull due to dust and scratches which are visible.

This is true. my dark blue car always looks dull after 5 days from the last wash, dahil sa dust buildup.

Duster lang then quick detailer, good to go na ulit

Duster nakaka-gasgas din.

If you want to make the effort, a rinseless/waterless wash is much better.

anti duster team!

Ginagamitan ko muna ng blower, then duster.

Yeah nakakagasgas din kahit i blower pa.

So tinitiis ko lang maging dusty. Every week naman ang wash anyway

Are you talking about the ones in spray bottles?

[zechs]

Both actually. Ung rinseless/waterless wash sa spray bottle, you use that as a pre-soak. Then you have to have a bucket of your rinseless/waterless wash pa rin.

Nakakatamad lang because you use a lot of mf towels hehe

Silver is the easiest color to maintain. Dust buildup di masyado obvious. Kapag may paint chip madali lang i-retouch. It's a boring color though, will not get much attention or praises. For my taste I don't like the attention so I chose silver for my Mazda3 skyactiv hatchback.

Weekly wash ako sa silver car ko. Kahit walang dirt stains, stick pa rin ako sa weekly wash. I don't use duster on the paint, I don't want to the take the risk of fine scratches. To keep the windows clean, I use a microfiber towel to wipe of the dusts.

I've only tried cleaning lightly-dusted cars with a quick detailer. Giving this a read right now, sounds nice and interesting

Update us sir!

BTW, I applied NanoSliq kagabi, 2 hours ako inabot. hehe

Pero significantly shinier siya and slicker to the touch compared to when it was taken out of the casa. Big difference.

[zechs]

What is nanofil? Nanosil? Compound and polish?

I've tried nanosliq before (ito ung QD right?) Nag-streak eh. Kaya di ko na ulit ginamit. Hehe.

To keep the windows clean, I use a microfiber towel to wipe of the dusts.

Pag middle of the week, I clean my windshield by spraying a soapy wuder with a already wet mf towel. Then dry with a regular chamois.

Took me almost 3hrs.

Diy Car wash

Did Nanofil and oh boy.. it was a shoulderrrrrr workout kase Ang kapal pala nya but swirl marks were less visible

skipped Nanosil

Then lastly did Mtx SupraGlos

All process by hand. I'm satisfied with it because it's better then my usual car wash and wax.

I would like to share a pic of our 5yr old brownie (vios) but upload failed huhu

Took me almost 3hrs...grabe ang shoulder work out especially sa Nanofil

The process:
Diy car wash
Nanofil
(skipped nanosil kase i cant wait to finish it)
Mtx SupraGlos

All by hand.
I can say it's better (sleekier) than my usual car wash then wax.
