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

[umi001]

I have all the microtex wash cloth including the elite. I dont see much difference in terms of quality conpared to the ordinary microfiber i buy in the dept store. I use microtex wash mit on top of my car ace hardware on the lower part and tires. Then dry it with the towel you can buy at the dept store. The difference 109 pesos lng ung sa dept store 500 mahigit ung sa microtex wasmit 50 pesos lng ung ace 320 ung microtex.

Which department store towel is that? I'm always interested in cheaper options. I will say that the Microtex MFs are better made than the cheaper MFs you can buy at most hardware stores, and they seem plusher too.

saan nakaka bili ng Klasse product???

meron ba sa Banawe? at how much?

Look for Carlack (virtually the same product, just different label) at Big Berts or MC Home Depot.

Mga sir question sa waxing. Ok lang ba itong ganito for a white car?

nanoglos > collinite 476s > nanosliq > OCW

ano po ba dapat mauna nanosliq or OCW. Or no need for nanosliq?

San ba nakakabili ng OCW? I live in the south baka may alam kayong store na pwede bilihan nito?

nanoglos > collinite 476s. Next week's wash, apply NanoSliq. Same for the following week (week 3). Week 4, use OCW as a booster to 476. Week 5 and 6, NanoSliq, then Week 7, repeat cycle.

The distributor of Optimum, Ravi Amarnani, lives and has a store in the South. You can find his contact info here: Optimum Distributor - Phillipines

just want to share for those near SM Dasma Cavite, saw yesterday sa Ace Hardware they are selling Eagle One products na Buy 1 Take 1 promo... all products from Nano wax to tire dressing... sabi ng sales lady na magpapalit daw ng supplier ng Eagle One kaya buy 1 take 1 mostly na product ng Eagle One.

Nakita ko rin to sa Ace Hardware-Baliwag, gusto ko sana bumili pero nag iisip ako kung alin ang bibilhin ko between Nanowax Spray or Wax as you Dry. Alin kaya ang mainam sa dalawa?

pano pala nililinisan yung healdlights mga sir? pwede ba yung formula1 glass cleaner na may repellant gamitin din don? nagtry ko tumingin sa "Lights and Lamps Talk" section ng forum wala ako makita...

Although mas expensive ng konti, I bought Nanowax Spray sa Blade. For me, mas gusto ko mag-wax ng tuyo ang sasakyan.

Kumusta naman result sir

[WeaponX]

Kumusta naman result sir

Di ko pa nagamit, but based on reviews maganda resulta. Pa NCPP muna ako kay Big Bert's.

If its DIY, okay din yung Turtlewax Ice ... Mas madaling i apply at walang residue ...
Although hindi siya pang matagalan

Hello guys, sorry kung OT ako pero di ko kasi alam san pwedeng ipost tong concern ko.
Saan ba pwedeng magpa DECAL ng sasakyan? Gusto ko kasing lagyan ng stripe yung side ng tucson para maging two tone. Pwede ba kayong magsuggest san may magaling at di kamahalan? Sila na rin ba ang nagdidikit?

Maraming Salamat po..=)

This is to clean dirt, dust and the like from the outside of the headlights? Just wash them with the rest of your car. Alternatively - if they are glass, you can use any glass cleaner you like; if they're plastic, I'd use a QD/waterless wash instead (since most glass cleaners aren't that lubricious - ok to use on hard glass, but might leave marring on plastic).

What will you be using it for? To top up an existing wax layer, or as the only protection on your car? If it's to top up a wax layer, I'd choose the Nanowax spray - likely to leave more protection behind. However, if it's to serve as the only layer of protection on your car, I'd get neither - get their Nanowax Liquid/Paste, or their Gel Wax, or get a different product like 3M Performance Finish or Mothers California Gold Synthetic Wax.

This thread has really been a great help! Right now I have some questions.. Sorry if this has already been tackled before pero kasi hindi pa ako nakakapag backread from the start..

Based on what I've read (and my wallet) I'm really attracted to Microtex products. Since my primary concern really is with protection and durability, it seems that Nanosil is best for my purposes (hand applied though.. But i read that it is still okay if applied that way). Now my question is, can I layer Nanogloss over it? or will it strip off the Nanosil layer? ALso, as for QDs, Nanosliq should be okay to use on top of them right?

Thanks!

si Umi ang expert dito ... based sa back instructions ng Microtex, ang layers ay car paint, nanoglos and nanosliq

Me i trust Microtex wash mitt sa paint areas, tapos yung Ace na orange mitt sa windsheild/windows (P150 yata) and Ace na blue mitt sa mags (P99 yata). I use a trusted brand (isa lang , I will soon replace Glass Science pag naubos) -- Microtex -- kasi yun ang payo ni BB and syempre to prolong my second investment, yung auto namin

[dfopiso]

Mga sir anong brand na watermarks remover para sa glass ang mainam?? Thanks

gamit ko today is Glass Science kit (Glass Scrub at Rain Clear). pagnaubos, yung Microtex equivalent

I'm having a problem with my Microtex microfiber chamois. It's gotten a bit dirty, so I tried washing it. Mga 20 minutes ko siyang binabad sa Joy solution tapos kinusot-kusot ko pa. Lo and behold, the dirt's still there.

Any tips how to get it out?

Also, ganun ba talaga yung microfiber chamois? When wiping the windshield and windows, hindi sobrang pulido ng pagkabsorb ng water, so pag natyo may fine watermarks pa rin from the little bits of water that don't get completely observed.

same observation ... so pinabayaan ko na lang

[dfopiso]

Anyone here tried the micro magic or microtex wiper wash? May masamang effect ba yun like clogging of the nozzle in the long term? Gamit ko kasi distilled or purified water lang eh. Gusto ko sana itry yung wiper wash kung okay.

i prefer investing in windshield glass cleaner/protection than in wiper fluid ... lesser risk
