It will just scratch your paint...

Yun nga sir eh, is there anyway para hindi magyari yun. Is there any scratch-proof na car cover? Thanks sa reply sir

[chiezee]

Thanks bro! Initially sa mazda gh ako nagpunta and even nag test drive. But I learned na mas mabilis mag release ang mazda pasig, plus nakakuha pa ako ng small discount. But discount is a discount, sayang rin yun haha. I made a reservation 2 weeks ago, then suddenly ni-inform nila ako na may biglang unit na available para sakin . I was actually expecting na 1 month or even 2 yung release since marami nakapila . So ayun, so blessed ako na may available for me agad. advance christmas gift

Masaya ang pasko mo nyan hehe . Inhouse financing ka ba? Just wondering baka mas priority nila kesa sa bank. Buti ka pa may discoint sakin wala namang inooffer lol

Actually, bank financed din ako, nagkataon lang siguro na may nagback-out sa reservation and sakin napunta. Regarding discount, I guess they won't offer it if I didn't ask. . Nag try ka ba mag ask sa kanila?

Finally!! I was able to register in this site. Matagal na ako nagbabasa sa forum na ito but can't post because I need to register muna.
Thanks to sir Trajavante for advising to register through mobile device. Sir Trajavante, ako po yung nag-eemail sa inyo about the plate relocator and recently asking for recommendation about car cover. Thanks again sir, you been very helpful even outside of this forum.

If walang maging problem, I'll be getting my Mazda3 2.0R HB Soul Red tomorrow. They asked me for tint level na m3, I said all medium. Ayoko kasi masyadong dark, minsan ang hirap makita lalo na sa side mirror. I hope I made the right decision. hehe. Pero I'm not planning to change it anytime soon, kasi naubos lahat ng budget sa DP ng car.

Guys, need ko lang po sana ng help nyo. Ang no.1 na need ko when I get the car tom (hopefully), is yung car cover. Meron po bang customized na cover for m3 HB? Kasi mas ok daw pag specially designed for specific model ung cover na mabibili. Anu po ba recommendation nyo? I need it, kasi medyo hindi maganda place namin, baka takaw mata.

Yung car relocator, oorder ako kay sir Traj.
Another thing i been considering is ung rear camera for reverse.

Thanks in advance sa mga magrerespond. Super excited na!!!

Congrats sir! Ako din M3 2.0 Soul Red HB. Exciting talaga yan lalo na ung unang drive mo from the casa I remember nung kinuha ko ung M3 sobrang kabado ako, ang bagal ko mag drive ayaw ko kasi mabunggo

FYI I strongly advise against getting the free 3M car tint. Ako din kumuha ako medium 3M tint from the casa. Pag umaga ok naman pero pag gabi sobrang hirap sa visibility. Kahit dito sa Metro Manila na medyo madami street lights pag gabi hirap pa rin. Sa sobrang lala kelangan naka high beam ako palagi para may makita lang. Delikado talaga.

After back reading dito sa forum I learned vkool tint ang maganda na brand ng tint. So pinapalitan ko ng oem 20 ung windshield lang para ma try. Sobrang iba, night and day ang difference. Malinaw na lahat pag gabi. Highly recommended ko vkool.

For car cover sir prone yan sa scratching ng paint. Mas ok pa siguro wala na lang, proper washing maintenance ok na un.

Interested in this, sa totoo lang I read about vkool din pero i keep forgetting their variants. Ws lang pinalagyan mo ang kept the sides 3M? Yung oem 20 ba clear or parang medium din? Kita yung driver o aninag lang?

Hi sir go-to-guy, yes windshield lang muna pinalagyan ko, sides are still 3M. Wanted to try it out lang kasi muna if may difference ba from 3M medium tint, and medyo nag titipid din kasi hehe. If may budget baka pa vkool ko na din ung sides.

OEM 20 is ka kulay ng 3M medium tint. Hindi ka din kita from the outside. Tinanong ko ung tiga vkool ung OEM 20 daw ung bagay sa remaining 3M sa sides. Tapos un bagay nga siya, hindi mo halata na magkaibang brands sila.

Please see attached picture sir.

[go-to-guy]

Nice one sir. Might give this a try as well. Satisfied naman with casa 3m medium tint pero i want to protect my dash too pag nakapark under the sun. How much pala oem 20 for ws only? And where did u get yours installed?

For windshield around 2k ata. Sa tint hub west ave ako nag pa install. Pero alam ko may branch din sila sa Ortigas.

If mag pa install ka sabi nila better call and reserve a slot. Swerte lang ako nung pumunta ako nasingit ako.

[sparcom2]

Yung free 3M tint ko sa casa worth 5k pina offset ko na lang sa huperoptik tint since they carry HO also. Been using huperoptik for almost 5 years, so far so good. Di rin nakaka interfere sa epass/ECtag sa expressways ang HO.

Thanks for the heads up! After new year na siguro para iwas sa traffic.

Sayang nagbayad pa naman ako ng 2.7k for the tint dun sa windshield . Kasi all sides kasi yung free, pero yung windshield hindy totally free. Anyway, check ko na lang later pagclaim ko

Regarding car cover, my primary reason for that is yung place ko. Nagrerent lang kasi kami dahil malapit sa work and wala siyang garage. And iniiwasan ko sana siya na makita, dahil parang takaw sa mata yung car. Plus may mga bata rin na naglalaro sa area baka tamaan. Lastly, yung protection rin nya from sunlight. Totoo ba yun na hindi maganda sa paint na babad siya sa sunlight? Noob questions lang po

Congrats and welcome to the group.

Yun sagot sa tanong mo, yes. Di maganda na palaging exposed sa sunlight ang sasakyan for long hours dahil di lang pintura ang masisira, kundi pati interior ng sasakyan mo. Ok lang naman maglagay ka ng cover sa sasakyan kung ganyan ang environment mo. Kahit ako, may car cover din kahit na may garahe ako. Main reason ko ay pusa namin. Last Monday lang nga nung di ko natakpan ang sasakyan ko dahil sa naulanan eh nasa ibabaw ng hood yun pusa namin at may mga gasgas.

If vinyl were as DIYable & as easy as gift wrapping....3M/XPel clear bras or 3M 1080 films would be among the best ways to protect paint.
Sadly when professionally offered, these peelables are costlier than the paint they're trying to protect...Haha....Doing that would be like buying a pricey backpack to protect an obsolete laptop????
I'd just opt for applied protective coatings to protect the finish from the elements. Against humans, I'd use dirt as my ally & leave the car muddy as hell always so no1 would go near, touch nor lean on it.

sadly car cover can't protect your car from kids, depends what these kids play with, your car can easily be dented or vandalized (balls, bikes, badminton rackets, etc) even with cover on. though it can protect from scratches from kids drawing funny faces and adults writing "hugasan mo ako" on dirty/dusty cars or cats sleeping on the car like testament11.

covers mainly protect the car from tree saps and bird droppings or peeing dogs. kaso kailangan mo din labahan yun cover madalas.

as for heat, baka mas uminit pa yun kotse mo kasya without cover since heat is trapped, kaya i think meron covers na breathable type, to prevent this.

as for UV rays, depends sa cover, some protects and some do not.

also buy reflective covers, wag yun nagbleblend sa cement walls, baka mabanga pa auto mo sa gabi.

yes cars parked outside without shade (babad sa sunlight) really dulls the paint eventually, bakes sap and droppings in the paint, destroying various plastics (yellowing of headlights) and rubber (cracked antenna base, antennas etc), discoloration of your interior, melting of rubberized plastic interior panels, sagging of your headliner, etc. halata ito lalo na sa mga european cars

the question if car covers can prevent or slow these down, i really don't know, i bought before an oem breathable cover for like 15k, di ko nagamit, kasi removing and installing it on a daily basis is just tedious, bago ka pa umalis sa bahay for office, pawis na pawis at madumi ka na, hehe.

so i just immediately remove sap and droppings soon as i see it using water, car shampoo and microfiber.

may mga products to protect the paint from saps, droppings, water marks, ceramic pro is one of those products, kaso mahal din. at least mukang waxed palagi yun auto mo though, kahit technically walang wax.

tint all your windows para pantay yun pag sira ng UV sa interior mo.

congrats and enjoy your new car

balongbalong sir, you just articulated every reason why I never fell for the cover trap. Cover washing is far more complex than doing the car. Haha...& how do we prevent this? Cover the cover w/ another cover???? Hahaha.:D
Life is much simpler w/o em....even w/ OCD. Hahaha.

NagSUSUA rin ang Mazda3?! Nakakatakot naman. Sana di ganun kotse ko. Super noob pa naman ako. Di ko alam ang gagawin if magSUA kotse ko.
