Sir am just curious, did they put wax you your newly painted car? Or they just polished it? AFAIK, you have to wait 2 to 3 mos before waxing a newly painted car to allow it to cure.Originally Posted by blackknight

After the painting process is done, I think they used a polishing compound for the top coat finish. I heard also from other paint shops and detailers like Meguire's that it is not recommended to apply waxes for about four to six months to let the top coat dry and cure. And also not to use car cover. But you can use a liquid type polish compound instead. I don't really know if this is true as this is my first time experience on polyurethane paints. I inquired with the "wet look" if I can use waxes, but unfortunately recommended polish compound instead for the mean time. I just use a car shampoo to clean my cars exterior. Some experts even told me not to use waxes for a while since the polishing compound used by the shop is an industrial type that lasts for a long time (just don't know how long and how true is this). From too much excitement when I got the car, I already bought three kinds of waxes for my car paints protection. 3M's liquid wax, Cyclone metallic finish polish and turtle wax carnauba but haven't used any yet. Please comment and advice,if any; re: hands on experience on polyurethane (Max Mayer Paint). Thanks.
Tama advise nila. Don't wax your car just yet. Wait 2 or 3 months for the paint to cure. What paint did they use?
max mayer gamit nila. before that, lesonal... ICI autocolor before that naman :D
well just be sure iisa lang chemical na ginagamit nyo minsan pag halo halo nasisira yung paint
ask ko lang po how much ang Washover ng Honda Civic 96 model, Cyclone Blue ang color... or hw much ang change color, to mettalic black or brown... and mga gano po katagal.. tnx!
Due ako for 1 fender repaint bukas. Since coding ako pasok ko daw 7AM and done na daw by 7PM. May stay-in naman daw so kahit sarado pa office ok lang at pwede na akong mag-park sa loob.
2500 quote nila sa fender. May scratch kasi dahil nahulog yung sampayan ng kapitbahay. 4 inches long ang scratch and hanggang metal ang lalim. Para sa akin ok lang di naman masyado halata. Pero OC kasi si kumander and since sya may hawak ng kaban ng hiyas well....
May binibigay ba silang parang claim slip kung iwan ko kotse?
Ok na napapinturahan ko na fender ko kahapon. Nahirapan daw sila maghanap ng color match dahil iba daw kulay ng hood at fenders ko hehehe. Ayos gawa nila! Maasikaso ang Tuason brothers. Nasa kanila uli itlog ko for rubbing. Di kasi natapos kahapon. Ok lang yon kesa madaliin.
Kung iwan mo pala kotse bibigyan ka ng copy ng checklist.
OT to ssaloon: Sir may kakilala kayo sa MyMitsu na naka-itlog na wasak ang harapan? May itlog kasi dun na may naka-ready na front cut. Green ang kulay, GLXi manual, painted black mags, painted black chrome trim, foam filter, 4-1 headers (syempre sinilip hehehe).
two times na ako nagpagawa sa kanila pero matagal na at lesonal pa gamit nila nun. maganda ang paint finish no questions pero hindi ako satisfied sa pagka-repair nung damage ng driverside door ng corolla ko. iba rin ang naging shade nung nirepaint. napilitan lang talaga ako na tanggapin na auto dahil yun lang talaga ang auto ko at that time. hirap kasi kapag ibabalik ko mawawalan ako ng pang araw araw na service. now that i read of them here at tsikot i might consider contacting them again.
anyway, i had nothing against them very helpful naman cla specially si ramil (dun pa ba siya?). i'll definitely consider them for the restoration of my corolla. dapat lang nga may discount na ako at kung pwede ayusin nila yung repair ng door ko particulary sa hinge at alignment.
left the unit late afternoon of May16 and got it yesterday. so far, i'm satisfied.
