So mas magandang wala na lang car cover at bare na lang siya under the sun?

Rain + Sun, kukupas yung color, pero basta pantay yung discoloration, halos di mo mapapansin...

kung di maiwasan ang bird poop dapat palagi ka meron sa car na quick detailer at mf towel at mapunasan mo agad yung poop. don't allow it to dry and linger sa paint else kapag dumikit mahirap matangal at mag-etch sa paint.

May bad experience ako sa bird poop sa Kuala Lumpur, yung rental car ko itim (I never owned a black car). Naiinis si misis kaya I decided to buy a small mineral water tapos binuhusan ko yung poop then punas ng tissue. Nagkaroon ng light scratches yung paint buti na lang di napansin nung employees nung binalik ko yung car.

Right pero mas nalito ako ngayon kasi may pros and cons din pala ang paggamit ng car cover. Akala ko necessity siya nung una.

I see. Do you have any recommendations for a quick detailer?

any quick detailer will do, it will soften the droppings and easy to wipe off. try mo mga available products like meguiar, mother's, sonax, pwede rin yung turtle wax bug and tar remover o kaya no rinse wash products (like optimum no rinse) diluted sa water. re-apply wax sa area na pinagtanggalan ng poop for protection.

baka may kasama na abrasive material yung poop, dumikit sa tissue at naipunas kaya gumasgas sa paint.

MOST bird poop is abrasive, especially the seed eaters. why? because birds don't have teeth. they have what is called a gullet or "balumbalunan" where they grind the food they eat. they "eat" sand and small pebbles and this is what grinds their food in the gullet. you can observe this especially with pigeons "eating" sand on a river bank. this same sand and pebbles of course take the same course of exit as the food waste. that is why you never rub off bird poop on a car. you soften it with water or whatever liquid you have at hand and wash it off.

lot's of water... kulang yung 600ml na Dasani ko.

[hammerl]

acidic kasi at ska yung mga bato na nakakain ng mga ibon. pag nag poo poo sila. pag naiwan mo ng matgal yun poop ma scratch yung clear coat ng car.

[baludoy]

Ok pantanggal ng bird poop iyong turtle wax bug and tar remover. Isang spray lang, wait a minute or two for it to turn into mush, and then pwedeng pwede na siya punasan softly w/o any problems

Madali pa istash lang sa trunk niyo since hindj sya naka pressurized container. No worries for it to explode needlessly on hot blistering summer days

For a new car, I usually plan a trip for 1 to 2 weeks na dapat maibalik sa casa for the first 1,000 km change oil / pms.

Drive casually for the first 500 km for break in and then yung remaining 500 is to test the cars limit [emoji3][emoji41]

1) If I go with ceramic coating, is waxing still needed for the duration of the coating?

2) How will the coating be restored after, say, a minor accident happened (gasgas)?

3) Are there any car covers that are premium and that don't produce hairline scratches to the car?

4) Is the Sunroof recommended to be installed with tint too?

I see. So is it wiser to just forego the car cover and just be vigilant in getting rid of bird poop manually?

Oh and by the way, do I still to use quick detailers in case of bird poop when the car is coated with ceramic glass?

What kind of freebies should I ask from my SA to make my purchase more "valuable"? I never tried talking to other SA's and I thought of doing that before I regret it.

What's the correct process of "breaking in" a brand new car?

read your manual. it's there. and no it's not a "hard" break-in that's described there

Oh ok, I didn't know that. Thanks I'll get my brand new car in a few days and will go from there.

oh wow congrats. what car btw?

just beware of the opinion of some people that a "hard" break-in is the thing to do

do a VERY thorough inspection. bring an ultraviolet flashlight to check for leaks or even just to check for weird stuff in the upholstery

[jut703]

I've had several cars, both brand new and secondhand, and I've never found the need for a UV flashlight.
