Nabasa at natutuhan ko sa thread ni Scarnhost....

"dishwashing liquids, such as joy, are grease strippers, and the waxes that protect a car's paint is made up of oils. Using dishwashing liquids will strip these waxes."

sir christmarte hit it right on.

brand? meguiars and mothers are good. microtex shampoo is significantly cheaper than either of them and is quite good for its purpose..

regarding the waxing... more often than not, the cars that roll out of the casa aren't really that fresh from the factory - they've been sitting in stockyards, been in ships, etc... so you can wax (or better yet, seal!) them from the onset.

yup you should wax all painted areas... for the bare plastic, best to use a protectant ;)

have the car sealed with a sealant like Klasse or Carlack. These are more durable than most waxes

Ok gamitin joy pangtanggal ng exisitng wax or sealant para mag start ka ng panibagong wax or sealant layer. Next time car shampoo na para di matanggal yung wax or sealant. As for na kukupas pintura pag gumamit ng joy.
