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

[ironman06]

If thats the case, dapat pala di na ako magaapply ulit after i-wash ung car hehe cge simula tayo bilang ng Oct 20. Lets try one month no re-applying of product.

Sige haha!

I tried different brands din kasi ng mga hydrophobic treatments. Ang napansin ko, they all work. Nagkakatalo lang sa duration. Yung Microtex AfterWash, the most is 3 days lang. I use it as a drying aid instead. Yung Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax lasts 2 weeks, yung 3rd week parang pilit na.

[SoleusBB]

I also use Microtex Afterwash on my Hilux, but more of a "wax booster" only for those periods in between yung proper wax niya (kapagod kaya mag wax ng pickup). Shine is ok, but protective qualities are mediocre to fair lang, and yes, it doesn't last very long.

If you want a good drying agent I'd suggest yung Turtle Wax Wax & Dry Spray (yung amoy coconut). Ok yung hydrophobic properties niya but medyo tumaas na rin yung price- mga P500 a spray bottle na. Sa price na yun, I'd rather just get a bottle/can of regular wax. Yun nga lang, useful siya sa tag-ulan... na nanghihinayang ka mag "full wax" kasi nga naman, uulanan lang naman din before it gets to cure properly.

===
Interested ako diyan sa Microtex Crystal Fx, but I don't think it will fill in swirls & small scratches well like a regular wax. (Walang kotse na walang swirl marks). Probably good as a cheaper "sealant", but for best results polish first (Iwas nga lang ako dun as it reduces top coat).

Ganyan talaga ata mga spray waxes eh, kikintab nga & offers some protection, but in the wrong light, kita talaga yung mga swirls.

Bro! update us din on how long the product lasts on the car. Yung CMX from Mother's lasted 2 months sa akin eh. If Microtex' product lasts as long, I will be switching to that. Locally made na, mura pa!

I wonder if ok I-layer yang Crystal FX on top of my regular paste wax. Baka di naman mag bond ng maayos if it sits on top of a wax...

you would need to remove the existing layer of wax before applying, para mag bond yung crystals to the paint surface mismo.

Turtle Wax really seemed to have turned a corner.

Another video came out from Jimbo detailing, it's a Q and A session with Jimbo and Pan, with all the other youtubers in the audience going over the products. Pan and Jimbo were given more access to the products before hand and got to do some real testing at Turtle Wax. They state quite a few times that the youtube channels are not on the company dime, and if the product doesn't stand up, they're not going to hold back.

I was about to buy the widely talk about Sonax Bright Shine Detailer now available at Blade to put on top of the TW Ice Seal N Shine, but I guess I have to put that on hold and wait a little while to try the new products of Turtle Wax.

try mo Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine. meron yan sa shopee, lazada at reflections car-care. you can also watch tutorials sa YT paano gamitin.

with waterless wash to be effective, you need to have a lot of microfiber towels to aid in cleaning your car. kada panel you might need to use a fresh towel para yung dirts o dumi hindi gagasgas sa paint surface. ok ang no rinse wash if alikabok lang, but if maputik no substitute sa proper carwash.

for the tires, pwede mo gamitan ng tire dressing o tire black. depende kung gusto mo natural look o yung makintab. yung microtex tire black hindi siya makintab

and to maintain the shine and protect your car, gamit ka rin ng wax or sealant. mas convenient ngayon yung mga spray waxes or sealants. check out turtle wax ice spray wax o yung seal and shine. shopee or lazada meron mga microtex at tw products

I apologize, I didn't mean to say to use for fabrics. I instinctively assumed leather seats. However, I think it can be used for fabrics.

This one below, I think is good for fabrics.
