    my motolited cars start easily naman, even after two months. including the diesels. all stock. no extra electrical toys.
    but what i am wary of, is the fungal growths.
    i have noticed that if the car was slightly wet inside, i.e., huling ginarahe pagkatapos i-drive sa malakas na ulan, there would be some fungal growth on the panels after 2 months.
    nakaka-inis linisin!
    i get rid of the fungus by wiping my door card and seat with isopropyl alcohol. seems to work ok naman.

    LOngest life of battery eversince I started having a car 30 yrs ago is 5 years with Amaron hi life.

    Actually it can be more I just replaced it even if its still working. Sulit na ako sa 5 yrs, I'm worried that it can

    go down anytime.


    problem now with the lockdowns , fungal growth on vehicles . i sprayed chemical for cleaning or polishing leather

    or plastic, it prevents it for a while only but bumabalik din. So what I did is to partially open the windows, bahala

    na pumasok lamok or ipis kaysa ma amag. easy to clean the seats but we don't know the effect of electrical parts

    inside the dash.

    does anyone know of an automotive product that is an anti-fungal and yet human-friendly?

    good bye battery. after 4 years hard starting na sya. no doubt dahil din sa pandemic. may stretch na 2mos. walang andar din kasi

    tested it at nasa 47% na lang state of health, internal resistance measured at 5.9ohms. after 2days na di magamit bagsak na voltage. 417CCA na lang maski magdamag charge. mas matibay ang varta.

    It looks like my car battery needs to be replaced na. I won't wait for it to die anymore (though I would have wanted to know how long it will last)

    Running kasi sa cigarette lighter voltmeter it goes as low as 13.4

    when the engine is running,
    i think that cigarette lighter voltmeter is measuring the alternator's output and not the battery's.
    have your battery checked at the shop, instead.

    +1 .. binuksan ko na yung bintana pero wala, inamag pa rin

    napa-interior detail na tuloy ako para sure ball na malinis lahat especially yung seats and carpets

    nagulat ako doon sa battery though, 2mos of no use pero nag-start pa din

    i cleaned mine, myself.
    i used two basahans and 1/4 volume of green cross alcohol.
    madali lang naman.
    the difficult part is bending over to get to some areas.
    pinagpag ko lang yung carpets.
    then i resorted to car rotation. use a car at least once every 2 weeks.
