Ako minsan lang mag wash ng car kasi mas okey walang sumasandal ...hehehe

Pero gustong gusto ng mga bata and maduming auto...instant blackboard! "Wash me Please!" Bibo kids writing messages sa soiled cars = swirl marks/scratches!

what's BS if i may ask.

Maintenance??

Just use the service/ warranty booklet as your guide and your car should be fine.

12vdc, this would be applicable to brand-new-car buyers... for the second-hand-car buyers, i doubt if they have something like this.

Same with those items pointed out.

- Not washing will actually speed up the corrosion process because mud and grime under your wheel wells will trap in moisture which causes corrosion.
- Pranella doesn't trap scratch-causing dirt particles and is usually a no-no cloth to use for detailing oriented people.
- Using water only and having no lubricant such as a proper wash soap will make the car more susceptible to scratching and its harder to remove grime.
- As long as you're using the proper wax (and not a rubbing compound or heavily-laden cleaner), and a foam applicator or terry towel, waxing will not thin out the clear coat.
- Brake cleaning every two years? This is dependent on road conditions and per most manufacturers. This is done every 10,000kms usually while brake fluid flushes are done every 40,000kms (although i recommend sooner given our flooded and humid road conditions).

i failed to include in the list about the replacement of timing belts, etc. what's your opinion on this? please share...

the timing belt is probably the one item that i will insist on using only original replacement part. and i will not scrimp on the schedule, either, even if it still looks new.. some people i know, replace them ahead of schedule. naninigurado..
the other belts, you can inspect visually and replace if showing signs of wear,,

i once bought a used car from private owner. upon removing the cover, i saw the masking tape with writing on it.. the previous mechanic placed the date and km when he replaced the belt... bless him.
