^game ako dito....
OT:* scharnhorst? doctor ka ba?psychiatric nurse kase ako, i can treat all the OCs dito hehe

Pag ginagamit ko as Clay lube yung ONR Gamit ko lang tap water. So dapat Distilled pa din pag clay lube? Pag tumagal kasi yung ONR using tap water nagiging clear na yung color niya.

this is true. pero i tried using tap water na pinadaan sa 3 step water filtering (yung may water softener) at ok naman. di na nag clear yung color nya...

sir sg, thanks!!!

BTW,

if any of you are using microtex microfibers for buffing, and that small tag keeps slapping the car, you can opt to cut it off.

*GulongGong: sana nga magkaroon na!

*kerikzb: ang saya non! at may photoshoot! wag lang ulanin :rofl: or pag inulan pagandahan ng beading

*john5: doctor-in-progress. hehe. pwede ata i-cingulotomy yung mga may ocd

*dbhollanda: yung kay rico naging clear rin ata sa tap... ganun katindi sa dumi ang ONR! pati tubig na ilinalagay mo linilinis hehe

*j.caine: that's a good headstart sir! maganda talaga na umpisa pa lang e alaga na yung paint ng sasakyan kasi mas madali mag maintain kesa mag correct ng mga defects

I tried cutting it off and it still left a small piece that had sharp edges. I already brought this up with the owner of microtex and he hinted that they are addressing the issue.

Question: yung Microtext Washmitt ba double-sided na? Paano malalaman kung kelan na dapat magpalit ng washmitt (for the body), microfiber towel, microtex duster and the like? TIA for your help

[scharnhorst]

*arjay: pwede mo syang tanggalin dun sa pagkakatahi, pero kelangan mo itahi ulit yung part na tinanggalan mo. hehe. ano daw solution nila?

*rj_tim: double sided na yung microtex washmitt. hehe. kelan magpapalit? hmmm. matagal naman buhay ng washmitt at mga cloth. more than 1 year for sure. depende sa alaga sa material... basta degrease tapos perla tapos wag ibilad sa araw. May pinakita sa amin si master na washmitts na 2 years old na, parang brand new kasi alaga. hehe.

yung microtex duster naman matagal rin buhay nyan.. kapag di na nakakatanggal ng dust. ayon. palitan na yung head.

Thanks sir!

Sir, di ba advisable ang ordinary detergent sa paglaba ng mitt at towels? Anong masamang epekto nito kung hindi man advisable?

[john5]

sir rj tim,based on my experience yung microtex terry ko madalas kong gamitin after sa washing machine laba using detergent,napansin ko medyo naminipis at nadadamage yung Microfibers nya,nagfade din yung color most probably matapang ang detergent so what i did yung isa kong MF after kong kamitin banlawan ko lang din ng car shampoo tapos sun dry,mas maganda resulta hindi nasisira at makapal pa din

[rj_tim]

Ang alam ko di advisable na ibilad sa araw ang microfiber towels and mitts?

[Ginnova]

kung masyado madumi ang mf you can initially wash with ordinary detergent. pagkatapos labhan mo ulit ng perla para malambot.

[scharnhorst]

Sir, di ba advisable ang ordinary detergent sa paglaba ng mitt at towels? Anong masamang epekto nito kung hindi man advisable?

Pwede ordinary detergent (i.e. Tide). as long as walang kasamang fabric softener yung detergent.

*john5: sir, hindi masyado natatanggal ng car shampoo yung mga tuyong wax sa MF cloth, kaya kelangan ng degreaser tulad ng joy. And tumitigas ang MF pag ibinibilad sa araw. Kung gusto mo mas mabilis ang pag air-dry, i-spin mo muna sa spinner ng washing machine

and tama si Ginnova, para malambot ang MF, labhan ng perla after ng degreaser/joy/detergent

[raddy01]

Wow! This is very helpful lalo na sa mga newbies like me. Thanks you very much ser!

[john5]

hindi po kase ako gumagamit ng MF sa wax application,yung wax applicator pad gamit ko,hindi ko babad sa araw yung MF basta matuyo ok na,

[rj_tim]

OK lang din ba yung Perla Orange? Para mas malambot siguro hehe

[scharnhorst]

*john5: kahit yung pinang ba-buff, it helps kung labhan sa joy and perla. may dried wax particles pa rin kasi yun ;)

*rj_tim: not sure kung may fabric softeners yung perla orange, just stick to the classic to be safe.

*raddy01: glad to be of help sir!

[john5]

^ah ok,thank you boss,la na ako masabi sa iyo
