What to do after buying a car

[yebo]

2 kasi cause nyan.

1, kinakapitan ng abrasive dust (e.g., very fine sand) yung inside ng car cover. tapos habang nahahanginan yung cover gumagalaw, parang hinahagod na din ng abbrasive yung paint.

2. yung material mismo nakakagasgas. like yung nylon, polyurethane, etc. o yung thread na ginamit pantahi. so everytime na ilalagay mo at aalisin yung cover gumagasgas yun sa paint.

subok ko na yan kaya dekada na lumipas di ako gumagamit ng car cover. downside lang e dapat masipag ka maglinis ng kotse mo. isang pupu lang ng mga birds ayan ka na nagpupunas. pili ang parking spot mo, never sa ilalim ng puno na madakta (bad idea din naman always ang mag park under any tree). lalo na pag may bagyo yung dakta malayo naaabot kaya car wash ka agad after, kahit sabihan ka ng misis mo na obsessed ka na sa kakalinis ng kotse.

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

wax. at least once a month. choice mo na open parking e so ngayon mamimili ka sa swirl marks ng cover or gastos ng monthly waxing.

Yup, problem ko lang talaga is yung mga bird poop. Madalas may bird poop dun e. Walang bang high quality car cover na iiwas dun sa mga sinabi mong disadvantages?

everytime you slide that cover over the paint, that cover will always create hairline marks.

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.

if possible get rid of the birds 😉

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

Is the recommended RON rating different for every car?

It varies on the engine of the car. Just check the owner's manual.

For turbocharged gas engines, it is common that they require a minimum 95RON. I use Petron XCS or Shell V-Power Nitro+ for my Fiesta Ecoboost and Forester XT. I think Honda's new 1.5L turbo engine requires a minimum of just 91RON.

Just as I thought, thanks!

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

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.

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

Got it. Do you have a recommended shop that does good waxing for the car?

Thanks! I just couldn't stop thinking of the XV. I've yet to test drive the 2018 XV as I'm currently out of town but I couldn't risk not having one unit reserved for me. I like the Civic RS Turbo too but the features of the new XV are just more appealing to me.
How much does a good waxing approximately cost for a CUV?
I'm sorry, like I said I'm a car noob so I don't understand most of what you just said in your post I'd rather pay for my car to be serviced rather than doing maintaining the paint manually though.
So I take it that Ceramic is better than Glass coating because it's more expensive?

55K is super expensive for that coating. If you shop around, you can get a 2 year treatment done for 10-15k, home service.

I agree. What do you mean by "treatment"?

*all

So I take it most people here don't use car covers?

Hi,

By treatment I mean that exact same thing they're charging 55K for.
