    DIY
    less than 500 php sa materials [emoji106][emoji106]

    if oxidized lang and no deep scratch .
    1. sand 1000 grit
    2. wash then alcohol rub
    3. sand 1500 or 2000 grit
    4. wash then alcohol rub
    5. sand 2500 grit
    6. wash then alcohol rub
    7. spray 3 coats of uv resistant clear coat
    8. wait for 24 hours, as much as possible do not use
    9. sand grit 3000 (or 2500 if not available), do this lightly (matanggal lang orange peel)
    10. polish

    btw i tried wash and alcohol rub
    then rubbing compound, then polish sa altis ng neighbor ko
    aftern 2-3 months may sign na agad na mag oxidized pero i think ok pa ito for a year bago lumala.

    ^ sorry noob question. San ka nakakabili ng mga sandpaper from 1000 - 3000 (pwede din ito sa scratches sa relo diba). Pati yung uv clear coat? Try ko gawin 'to.

    for watches, i use classic colgate white.
    it works, and it's easy.

    i tried colgate on headlights. it also works, but it's very very tedious. i wouldn't recommend it to anyone. the commercial product is much much easier.

    yespo.
    but don't forget the anti-UV protection, lest we do it again after a few months, like what i did.

    nag-sawa na ako sa kaka-polish, i bought a pair of replacements. they're plug n play, except that the adjusting screws need at least 10 times the screwing, to effect the minutest movement.
