Balak ko kc bumili ng buffing machine. Tnx ulit

[elaz]

Carnauba wax produces deep,shine and gloss while
synthetic wax can last for 2yrs and
water beading is seen that will last for a long time

I did some search and oftenly they refer synthetic wax as sealant. Is wax and sealant the same thing? Im now using 3m synthetic wax and im happy with the result. Some suggest to use carnuba wax on top of synthetic wax. Isnt it overkill na?

Btw how can i achieve water sheeting? Which product/brand should i use?

Thanks sa reply ☺

First pic my car's paint surface
2nd from the Internet, do you think it's etching from birdbdropping and needs repainting?

hi, I am not an expert but you can try rubbing compound on that area. possible you can lessen or remove that if is bird dropping. this problem also happen to me because my car is always parked outside of our house and I park it under the tree. always encounter bird dropping but not like that. I can easily remove it after i wash my car and if there is still stain I use rubbing compound in that area alone

^It does look similar to acid etching from bird droppings. You can try buffing with polish or rubbing compound. If hindi ma-fix, then repainting na solution.

^ Thanks again
It looks like it grows more visible every year like faded paint signs?

Hmm, that's alarming if it is indeed growing.

correct me if im wrong pero ive read from somewhere na hindi daw advisable na car shampoo ang gamitin as clay lubricant as this will degrade the clay fast. May nakapag try na po ba ng Nanosliq diluted with water? ( 1:1)

Nung bago pa lang ako ginamitan ko ng joy. nagccrumble yun clay at tumitigas. Kala ko kasi ok lang kasi purpose ko naman alisin yun old wax. Kaya mula noon tubig lang gamit ko. Running water sa hose.

As long as it's car shampoo and clear-coat safe, it won't degrade the clay. Hell, a lot of people actually use running water as a lubricant. But it's too wasteful on the water so just use your car shampoo. You need to make sure your car has already been washed beforehand and then you wash, clay, and rinse it.
