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

[dr. d]

For car ceiling black stain especially near the middle and rear aircon vents, is there a diy using domestic product to clean it?

it's just ordinary dirt, or as ninja says, "ordinary libag".
it is the position, that makes it difficult and messy to clean. try fine toothbrush and a good detergent. cover the flooring and upholstery underneath, if we have to avoid contamination.
i haven't tried steam cleaning, but it seems to be the easy way out.

Mga boss.. Sorry in advance kung nabanggit na before yung concern ko.. No time lang mag backread and review older posts..

First time owner lang din po.. Di ko pa kasi napapa ayos yung garahe.. In short bilad sa araw, tapos naulanan at dinikitan na ng alikabok yung puting sasakyan..

Plano ko lang po hugasan ng tubig lang.. maalis lang yung alikabok tapos tamang punas lang para matuyo.. Oks lang po ba yun?

Di ko pa po nagagamit sa public roads kasi wala pa OR/CR 1 month pa daw.. Kaya parang nakakatamad naman i car wash sya ng full.. Hehehe

wash and wax is always better. use a wash mitt for shampooing and a good microfiber towels to dry. apply wax and wipe off for protection, para kahit nasa open parking at maalikabokan, hindi kakapit ang alikabok at madaling linisin.

btw, save some time and read the 1st 10 pages of this thread to learn about proper washing.

Bumili ako nito ng 3L sa Lazada. Dapat 2L parang laki masyado 3L.

Did the same mods sa video, ok naman actually. Not comparable sa foam gun, but it does the job.

[Deestone]

libag yan bro
if soap, water, baking soda combo doesnt work; baka steam cleaning makuha

Okay so i can use regular household detergent but won't it damage the ceiling?

Yup, not comparable if stock lang. But there's a WikiHow article on how to modify the nozzle to fine-tune the foam and make it as if it was coming from as foam gun.

Haha ok naman. Actually it was all superficial dusting lang. So pag pressure washer tanggal na halos lahat.

Later pa ako mag-start magpolish with m205. Mag test spot ako though baka kaya na straight to carpro essence with either heavy polishing pad or mf pad. Save me one step sana.

Rainy season prep:
Light polish plus (hopefully) 2 coats of Mckee's 37 coating

Too much work haha!

Before ang pre-wash ko is garden hose lang, and for 1 year, very minimal lang yung fine scratches/swirls (without ceramic coating).

Now gagamitin ko lang yan if I drove through rain. If hindi umulan intra-week, I think I'll stick sa garden hose pre-wash rinse, since pansin ko after applying ceramic coating, yung dirt caused by rain, na aalis na ng garden hose pa lang.

Natitira lang yung spots that needs a contact wash.

Kung wala, na try to haha.

Foam sprayer home made | Easy foam wash for car and bike - YouTube

Nice! A foam spray that's budget friendly and easy to make and use [emoji108]

Pwede pa ito magamit sa banyo at dirty kitchen hehe

Gustuhin ko man mag pre-wash using water from a hose, di ko pa magawa kasi di pa binabalik ng Manila Water ang normal water pressure sa area namin. So what I do is a combination of the 2 bucket method and the Gary Dean method of rinseless wash.

Pre wash with ONR - foam spray - rinseless wash - dry.

Ran into a problem with the coating. Not sure if its the product or that the ambient temp is too hot that the product flashes too quickly. Even if I work smaller than a 1x1 area, its too hard to remove.

Will re-polish the problem areas again with essence and put a Si02 spray sealant as a topper.

Thinking of buying cquartz uk 3.0

[TheUninvited]

Ako naman I bought a Mr. Fix upgraded version (verified orig sa website).

I applied it sa small portion, for 2 weeks now, it's more hypdrophobic vs CK UK3.0. I'm impressed, lol.
